[Use of antidementia drugs at the end of life].

Introduction: The use of antidementia drugs near the end of life remains controversial. We evaluated the prevalence of and factors associated with antidementia drug use in the last 6 months of life in older adults with dementia.

Materials And Methods: Observational retrospective study of adults ≥60 years, affiliated to the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires health maintenance organization, who died with a dementia diagnosis, between 2017 and 2021.

Cryogenic quantum computer control signal generation using high-electron-mobility transistors.

Multiplexed local charge storage, close to quantum processors at cryogenic temperatures could generate a multitude of control signals, for electronics or qubits, in an efficient manner. Such cryogenic electronics require generating quasi-static control signals with small area footprint, low noise, high stability, low power dissipation and, ideally, in a multiplexed fashion to reduce the number of input/outputs. In this work, we integrate capacitors with cryogenic high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) arrays and demonstrate quasi-static bias generation using gate pulses controlled in time and frequency domains.

The Tiber Island in the history of dermatology and venereology, including the curious history of "K syndrome," the fictitious disease that scared the Nazis.

Tiber Island in Rome has a rich history as a center of worship and health care. Its origins date back to ancient times, with the establishment of the Temple of Asclepius marking its role in healing practices. Over centuries, it evolved into a hub for medical innovation and refuge during epidemics and conflicts.
