Using Nursing Assessments of Mobility and Activity to Prioritize Patients Most Likely to Need Rehabilitation Services.

Objective: To identify nursing assessments of mobility and activity associated with lower-value rehabilitation services.

Design: Retrospective cohort analysis of admissions from December 2016 to September 2019 SETTING: Medicine, neurology, and surgery units (n=47) at a tertiary hospital.

Participants: We included patients with a length of stay ≥7 days on units that routinely assessed patient function (n=18,065 patients).

Feasibility of an Enhanced Therapy Model of Care for Hospitalized Stroke Patients.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the safety and feasibility of an enhanced therapy model for hospitalized stroke patients.

Methods: This was a quasi-experimental cohort study of acute stroke patients from a single hospital. In the intervention group, all hospitalized patients on the acute stroke service were seen by at least two therapy disciplines daily in addition to routine stroke care.

Development and Implementation of a New Model of Care for Patients With Stroke, Acute Hospital Rehabilitation Intensive SErvices: Leveraging a Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Team.

The optimal timing and intensity of early rehabilitation remain uncertain. The literature has stated that too early high-intensity mobility within 24 hours can result in poor outcomes as compared with the 24- to 48-hour poststroke (Stroke 2012;43:2389-94. Stroke 2004;35:1005-9).

Superstructure MOF as a framework to composite MoS with rGO for Li/Na-ion battery storage with high-performance and stability.

Metal sulfides, one kind of electrode material with very high theoretical capacity, have been widely studied for use in lithium and sodium ion batteries. However, there are some problems hindering their applications in electrodes, such as low conductivity and volume expansion. The MOF introduces metals with different coordination strengths into an existing MOF structure, which improves the performance of the electrode to a certain extent.

Mixed-Halide Perovskite Film-Based Neuromorphic Phototransistors for Mimicking Experience-History-Dependent Sensory Adaptation.

Sensory adaptation is an essential function for humans to live on the earth. Herein, a hybrid synaptic phototransistor based on the mixed-halide perovskite/organic semiconductor film is reported. This hybrid phototransistor achieves photosensitive performance including a high photoresponsivity over 4 × 10 A/W and an excellent specific detectivity of 2.

Weak Light-Stimulated Synaptic Hybrid Phototransistors Based on Islandlike Perovskite Films Prepared by Spin Coating.

An artificial synaptic device that can provide color discrimination, image storage, and image recognition is highly required to mimic the human vision for biological robots. All-inorganic halide perovskites have attracted extensive attention for the reason of their high stability and favorable photoelectric properties. In this study, a light-stimulated synaptic phototransistor based on a CsPbBr/organic semiconductor hybrid film is reported.

Prediction of Disposition Within 48 Hours of Hospital Admission Using Patient Mobility Scores.

Delayed hospital discharges for patients needing rehabilitation in a postacute setting can exacerbate hospital-acquired mobility loss, prolong functional recovery, and increase costs. Systematic measurement of patient mobility by nurses early during hospitalization has the potential to help identify which patients are likely to be discharged to a postacute care facility versus home. To test the predictive ability of this approach, a machine learning classification tree method was applied retrospectively to a diverse sample of hospitalized patients (N = 761) using training and validation sets.

Ultrastable Quantum Dot Composite Films under Severe Environments.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted extensive attention because of their remarkable optical and electrical characteristics. However, the practical application of QDs and further the QD composite films have greatly been hindered mainly owing to their essential drawbacks of extreme unstability under oxygen and water environments. Herein, one simple method has been employed to enhance enormously the stability of Cd ZnSe S QD composite films by a combination of Cd ZnSe S QDs and poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF), which is characteristic of closely arranged molecular chains and strong hydrogen bonds.
