Article Synopsis
  • Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is an effective method for generating hydrogen using affordable renewable energy sources, and recent improvements have been made in its efficiency and durability.* -
  • The study focuses on how the design and integration of materials in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), especially in the anode catalyst layer, influence overall performance and efficiency.* -
  • Results show that a higher loading of catalysts with good electronic conductivity and uniform layers can significantly enhance performance, boosting current density by up to 55%, while less conductive or uneven layers yield minimal benefits.*

Introduction: Falls and fall-related injuries in community-dwelling older adults are a growing global health concern. Despite effective exercise-based fall prevention programs (FPPs), low enrollment rates persist due to negative connotations associated with falls and aging. This study aimed to investigate whether positive framing in communication leads to a higher intention to participate in an FPP among community-dwelling older adults.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly studied and implemented in some pathology departments; but how might AI models help change medicine? While technology leaders are calling for a pause on developing AI systems until there is greater confidence "that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable," (Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter. March 22, 2023. https://futureoflife.

Objectives: To characterize the histopathologic features of colitis in patients with impaired renal function.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 413 patients who underwent colonoscopic evaluation for colitis between 2011 and 2015. Patients were divided into four groups based on estimated glomerular filtrate rates.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1D) incidence is increasing in pediatric population. Good metabolic control, measured by glycated hemoglobin (HbA), significantly reduces the risk for chronic complications. Comorbid disorders, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may influence glycemic control.
