Using Virtual Care to Assess the Health Needs of People With Intellectual Disabilities: A Scoping Review.
J Appl Res Intellect Disabil
January 2025
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid roll-out of virtual health care services to people with intellectual disabilities. Limited evidence is available for clinicians to guide virtual care delivery.
Method: Twenty-three studies were identified through systematic searching of 16 databases.
Article Synopsis
- Boric acid (BA) is crucial for the metabolic function in plants, animals, and humans but has mixed effects on biological systems.
- The study examined how different concentrations of BA in culture media affected mouse embryo quality and development, using superovulated C57Bl6/6j female mice.
- Results showed that low doses of BA significantly improved blastocyst development rates and enhanced embryo cell numbers and biochemical parameters, indicating its positive role in embryo development.
Article Synopsis
- Thin films of ferromagnetic topological insulators can achieve the quantum anomalous Hall effect without needing an external magnetic field.
- Researchers demonstrated crossed Andreev reflection in a system where a superconducting Nb electrode interacts with a chiral edge state, indicating superconducting pair formation.
- Their findings suggest a significant link between superconductivity and chiral edge states, paving the way for further exploration of topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Laser and Hybrid Seton Methods in the Treatment of Perianal Fistula.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and postoperative complications of two treatment methods (laser vs. hybrid seton) for perianal fistulas in 76 patients over a period from January 2021 to April 2022.
- The results indicated that while the laser method had fewer complications, it also had a higher treatment failure rate and lower patient satisfaction compared to the hybrid seton method.
- Ultimately, the hybrid seton method showed better overall outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction and lower rates of fecal incontinence despite having more complications.
Article Synopsis
- Selective-area epitaxy (SAE) is a technique used to create specific shapes of thin films on pre-patterned substrates, allowing for precise control over the growth of materials.
- This study successfully demonstrates the growth of Hall-bars and nanowires from bulk-insulating topological insulators (TIs) using SAE, which had not been reported before in this context.
- The newly created TI nanostructures exhibit excellent transport properties and quantum behaviors, presenting opportunities for scalable fabrication of advanced topological devices.
