Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a 3-month oral hypofunction management protocol that included oral function training and dietary advice for older patients with oral hypofunction.
- Results showed significant improvements in the nutritional status of the intervention group, evidenced by an increased Mini Nutritional Assessment score, while the control group showed no changes.
- The findings suggest that combining nutritional guidance with functional training can effectively enhance both oral function and nutritional status in older adults suffering from oral hypofunction.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces MS2Lipid, a machine learning model designed to improve the prediction of lipid subclasses from mass spectrometry data, overcoming limitations in existing software that rely on manual curation.
- The model achieves an impressive 97.4% accuracy in classifying lipid subclasses from extensive datasets, using a new descriptor called MCH for better specificity.
- MS2Lipid's effectiveness is further demonstrated through its application in annotating lipid metabolites linked to obesity, highlighting its potential for biological and clinical lipidomics research.
Nanoporous solids, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have long been known to capture small molecules by adsorption on their pore surfaces. Liquids are also known to accommodate small molecules by dissolution. These two processes have been recognized as fundamentally distinct phenomena because of the different nature of the medium-solids and liquids.

Design: A retrospective observational study.
Setting: Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, which is located 13-38 km north of the FDNPP.
This study investigated the implementation and efficacy of trauma-focused psychotherapies at a psychiatric clinic in Minamisoma City, Fukushima, after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear disaster. Analyzing medical records from April 2016 to March 2021, the authors identified a significant dropout rate of 43.2% among post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients within the first 5 years.
