Predicting the Occurrence of Falls Among Portuguese Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 50 or Older Using the Timed up and Go Test

Applied Sciences
Falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults. While the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test has recently been identified as the best predictor of falls, it should not be used in isolation to identify individuals at risk.

Epitaxial Bi2O2Se/Bi2O5Se Thin Films: Revealing Electric‐Field‐Driven Oxidation and Resistive Switching Dynamics for Advanced Memory Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bi2O2Se/Bi2O5Se bilayer heterostructure exhibits reversible structural evolution during device operation, directly revealed by atomic‐scale investigation. Oxygen vacancy redistribution governs filament formation and rupture, enabling stable multilevel resistive switching and synaptic‐like behaviors.

Potential Survival Benefit of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5‐Fluorouracil Therapy in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Multiple Lymph Node Metastases: A Single‐Institute Propensity Score Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil, cisplatin, and docetaxel (NAC‐DCF) is the current standard neoadjuvant regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, its substantial toxicity underscores the need to identify patients who derive the greatest benefit.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Study of de-aggregation of mechanochemically synthesized ZnSe nanoparticles by re-milling in the presence of ZnCl2 solution [PDF]

Acta Montanistica Slovaca, 2013
Conventional mechanochemical synthesis of zinc selenide, ZnSe nanoparticles was performed in a planetary ball mill by high-energy milling of zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) powders. Mechanochemically synthesized ZnSe was subsequently re-milled in circulation

Oral vancomycin solution is superior to capsule in inducing clinical biomarker and endoscopic remission in children with atypical ulcerative colitis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Atypical colitis (presenting reverse gradient colitis, backwash ileitis or rectal sparing) is associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis–ulcerative colitis (PSC). Oral vancomycin has been used to manage paediatric atypical colitis with/without confirmed PSC. Different preparations had shown different efficacy.

Validity and Reliability of the Self-Administered Timed Up and Go Test in Assessing Fall Risk in Community-Dwelling Older Adults

Geriatrics
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the self-administered Timed Up and Go (TUG) test—a gold standard for fall risk screening—by comparing it to the traditional face-to-face assessment conducted by a physiotherapist ...

Therapeutic drug monitoring of antimicrobials in a paediatric setting: A retrospective single‐centre study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Paediatric pharmacokinetics differ significantly from adults due to age‐related physiological changes, necessitating precise dose adjustments. However, data on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) implementation in paediatric setting remain limited.
