Mean Differences for 3 Delivery Modalities of the Healthy Eating, Staying Active As We Age Curriculum for Older Adults.

Objective: To assess the mean differences in outcomes of 3 delivery modalities of a nutrition education program targeting older adults.

Methods: A natural experiment was conducted from March 2020 to September 2021, with presurveys and postsurveys used to assess dietary and physical activity behaviors. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t tests, and ANOVA, with a Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold at P < 0.

High-throughput Experimentation Enables the Development of a Nickel-catalyzed Cyanation Platform for (Hetero)aryl Halides.

A novel screening platform for the nickel-catalyzed cyanation of (hetero)aryl halides relying on the use of air-stable Ni(COD)DQ at low loading is reported. Through high-throughput experimentation (HTE), various ligand and solvent combinations are systematically explored, allowing the fast identification of suitable conditions. This standardized workflow serves as an excellent starting point for selecting other competent nickel precatalysts and for further optimization of reluctant substrates.

Predicting fiber content in herbivore fecal samples using a multispecies NIRS model.

Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has allowed investigating nutritional ecology of different herbivore species, NIRS calibrations are species-specific and require a large number of samples for predictions. A multispecies calibration would be an advantage since samples from different herbivores could be used to calibrate a model capable of predicting the fecal fiber content of other herbivores.

Pharmacy Integrated Transitions (PIT) trial: a protocol for a pragmatic cluster-randomised crossover trial.

Introduction: Ineffective coordination during care transitions from hospitals to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) costs Medicare US$2.8-US$3.4 billion annually and results in avoidable adverse events.
