Gamified Mobile Health Strategies for Promoting Physical Activity in Autistic Adults.

Physical inactivity and sedentarism among autistic adults are a growing public health concern. Focusing on the integration of behavior change theories and emphasizing the unique preference for visuospatial learning and gaming technology, we hypothesize that gamified mobile health (mHealth) applications can be effective at increasing free-living physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior in autistic adults.

Graph-based machine learning model for weight prediction in protein-protein networks.

Proteins interact with each other in complex ways to perform significant biological functions. These interactions, known as protein-protein interactions (PPIs), can be depicted as a graph where proteins are nodes and their interactions are edges. The development of high-throughput experimental technologies allows for the generation of numerous data which permits increasing the sophistication of PPI models.

Remimazolam As a Sole Sedative Agent for Gastrostomy Tubes Placed in the Interventional Radiology Suite: A Case Series.

Remimazolam is an ultrashort acting intravenous sedative-hypnotic approved for procedural sedation. We report a series of 8 cases of radiographically placed gastrostomy tubes using remimazolam as the sole anesthetic agent. Interventional radiology (IR) gastrostomy tube placement entails anesthetizing often complex patients in a nonoperating room environment.

Single-Component Electroactive Polymer Architectures for Non-Enzymatic Glucose Sensing.

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) have emerged as promising materials for biological sensing, owing to their electrochemical activity, stability in an aqueous environment, and biocompatibility. Yet, OMIEC-based sensors rely predominantly on the use of composite matrices to enable stimuli-responsive functionality, which can exhibit issues with intercomponent interfacing. In this study, an approach is presented for non-enzymatic glucose detection by harnessing a newly synthesized functionalized monomer, EDOT-PBA.
