A cross-correlator-based timing tool for FemtoMAX.

We report on the commissioning of an ultrafast timing diagnostic for measuring a time-offset signal between two different synchronized ultrashort light pulses. The method is based on sum-frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal. The setup is similar to an auto/cross-correlator setup.

Evaluation of a real-world implemented web-based patient education tool for dyspeptic patients: a longitudinal survey study.

Objective: To explore if a real-world web-based patient education tool has the potential to support self-management and informed decision making in patients with functional dyspepsia.

Methods: The study was performed in the Netherlands between July 2022 and October 2023. It consisted of two web-based questionnaires: the first was filled out directly after participants had finished the tool and the second three months thereafter.

Status and perspective of protein crystallography at the first multi-bend achromat based synchrotron MAX IV.

The first multi-bend achromat based synchrotron MAX IV operates two protein crystallography beamlines, BioMAX and MicroMAX. BioMAX is designed as a versatile, stable, high-throughput beamline catering for most protein crystallography experiments. MicroMAX is a more ambitious beamline dedicated to serial crystallography including time-resolved experiments.

Stakeholders' perspectives on capturing societal cost savings from a quality improvement initiative: A qualitative study.

Background: Besides improving the quality of care, quality improvement initiatives often also intend to produce cost savings. An example is prehabilitation, which can reduce complication rates and the length of stay in the hospital. However, the process from utilization reductions to actual societal cost savings remains uncertain in practice.

[Blood culture utilization and its indications in emergency departments; time for change?].

Objective: To gain insight into the blood culture (BC) utilization in emergency departments (EDs) and to identify differences in the indications for BC collection.

Design: Retrospective study METHOD: Data were collected in 11 EDs for 2018, 2019, and 2020. Indications for blood culture collection were identified in from the hospital protocols.
