Impact of Hypocaloric Diets on Weight Loss and Body Composition in Obese Dogs: A Meta-Analysis.

Canine obesity is a complex, multifactorial condition marked by excessive body fat accumulation due to a sustained positive energy balance. Over the past decade, its global prevalence has risen significantly in most industrialized nations. Despite the availability of numerous commercial diets designed for obesity management in dogs, these products exhibit considerable variability in nutrient composition, and there is currently no standardized guideline on optimal macronutrient levels for effective weight loss.

Process-based screening of porous materials for vacuum swing adsorption based on 1D classical density functional theory and PC-SAFT.

Adsorption-based processes are showing substantial potential for carbon capture. Due to the vast space of potential solid adsorbents and their influence on the process performance, the choice of the material is not trivial but requires systematic approaches. In particular, the material choice should be based on the performance of the resulting process.

Finding Predictive Factors of Stabilization Exercise Adherence in Randomized Controlled Trials on Low Back Pain: An Individual Data Reanalysis Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Objective: To identify predictors of adherence in supervised and self-administered exercise interventions for individuals with low back pain.

Design: Cohort study.

Setting: Rehabilitation.

Valorization of corn stover in a single experimental unit: The synergistic effects of steam explosion and semi-continuous subcritical water processing.

Lignocellulosic waste, like corn stover (CS), is widely produced and serves as a key feedstock for biofuels and biochemicals. Semi-continuous subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) is an eco-friendly method that breaks down cellulose and hemicellulose bonds. To boost fermentable sugar (FS) yields, steam explosion (SE) pretreatment was tested on CS, achieving a cellulose content of 74.

Aim of the study was to assess the use of pharmacological therapies provided in Nursing Homes and Protected Residences of the Umbria Region, with reference to central nervous system medications. In 2022, 200 ddd (defined daily doses) per 100 bed-days were administered in Umbria's long term care facilities, representing a 6.2% decrease compared to the previous year.
