An exceptional water stable terbium-based metal-organic framework for selective detection of pesticides.

A terbium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) with exceptional water stability for highly selective detection of pesticide thiamethoxam (TMX) in aqueous solution is reported. To date, most reported lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) still exhibit poor water stability, which may limit their practical applications in bio-sensing and detecting pollutants in environmental water samples. In this work, a Tb-MOF [Tb(BDC)(DEF)·0.

Effects of sling exercises on pain, function, and corticomuscular functional connectivity in individuals with chronic low back pain- preliminary study.

Background: Individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) exhibit altered brain function and trunk muscle activation.

Aim: This study examined the effects of sling exercises on pain, function, and corticomuscular coherence (CMC) in healthy adults and individuals with CLBP.

Methods: Eight individuals with CLBP and 15 healthy adults received sling exercise training for 6 weeks.
