Article Synopsis
  • A study investigated the prevalence and factors linked to CNS-active polypharmacy in older adults (60+) in Buenos Aires, finding that 7.1% of patients were using three or more CNS-active medications.
  • The research included 63,857 patients, revealing that common combinations of medications involved antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines, particularly in those with mental health disorders.
  • Conditions like frontotemporal dementia and schizophrenia significantly increased the odds of polypharmacy, highlighting the need for strategies to manage medication use in older populations.

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.

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.

Background: Although guidelines recommend risk assessment for hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) to inform prophylaxis decisions, studies demonstrate inappropriate utilization of pharmacoprophylaxis in hospitalized medical patients. Predictors of pharmacoprophylaxis initiation in medical inpatients remain largely unknown.

Objectives: To determine factors associated with HA-VTE pharmacoprophylaxis initiation in adults hospitalized on medical services.
