We report on a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method for rapid measurements of Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering (RBS) profiles in air at low temperatures and low pressures, using a spectrometer based on a virtually imaged phased array (VIPA). RBS profiles were measured over a temperature range of 213-293 K and a pressure range of 343-996 mbar. The Tenti S6 model was used to fit profiles and retrieve gas temperatures.

However, a percentage of patients discontinue immunotherapy due to immune-related adverse events (irAE). Among these events, immune-related endocrine toxicities (E-irAE) represents the most common form, though their etiology, risk factors, and impact on patient outcomes remain poorly understood.

Objective: There remains inconsistent recognition of the relationship between oral dryness and dysphagia. This study aimed to investigate whether the degree of oral dryness was related to the prevalence of dysphagia in community-dwelling older adults.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Background: Poor adherence is commonly observed as one of the characteristics of exercise interventions and there is little consensus as to whether digital interventions promote exercise adherence in people undergoing physiotherapy, especially in older adults with knee diseases.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of digital health for improving the exercise adherence and intervention outcomes.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on 4 databases; PRISMA reporting guidelines were followed.
