Cross-sectional examination of characteristics of higher-dose buprenorphine prescriptions during the era of illicit fentanyl by Bradley D. Stein, Flora Sheng, Brendan K. Saloner, Adam J. Gordon, Jessica S. Merlin

“…Abstract Background In response to greater illicit fentanyl use, buprenorphine daily doses exceeding the FDA’s recommended target daily dose (16 mg) and maximum suggested daily dose (24 mg) may provide better outcomes, but little is known about higher dosage prescribing patterns. To better understand buprenorphine prescribing patterns, this manuscript examines the frequency and characteristics of dispensed buprenorphine of ≤ 16mg, > 16-24 mg, and > 24 mg daily dose. …”

Improving PSNR and computational efficiency in orthogonal ghost imaging by Kobra Hassanzadeh, Sohrab Ahmadi-Kandjani, Reza Kheradmand, Seyed Amir Mortazavi

“…Abstract In this paper, we present an orthogonal ghost imaging (OGI) method based on two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) patterns. Unlike traditional methods that are based on random or sinusoidal patterns, our method relies on structured orthogonal patterns to enhance both image quality and reconstruction speed, outperforming random and sinusoidal-based approaches in terms of reconstruction fidelity and computational efficiency. …”
