Current status and development trends in CKD with frailty research from 2000 to 2021: a bibliometric analysis.

Introduction: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is gradually increasing in the elderly population. At the same time, frailty has become one of the research hotspots in the field of geriatrics. Bibliometric analyses help to understand the direction of a field.

Effect of different synthesis methodologies on the adsorption of iodine.

Radioactive nuclides such as cesium, ruthenium, and iodine are difficult to remove in radioactive wastewater, which could be removed by coprecipitation of special chemical precipitants. In this study, dynamic Cu/Ag-mordenite (Cu/Ag-MOR) material was synthesized to be treated as the precipitant to selectively adsorb the iodine ion (I) through controlled chemisorption combined with physical adsorption. XRD, XPS, and FTIR characterization demonstrated the successful modification of the MOR carrier surface by Cu/Ag particles and the high selectivity of the active component Cu (I) on the dynamic Cu/Ag-MOR material.

Association between nut consumption and frailty in the elderly: a large sample cross-sectional study.

Background: Limited literature has addressed the impact of nut consumption in mitigating frailty. This study aimed to investigate the association between nut consumption and frailty among Americans aged above 60 years, employing two 24-h dietary recalls for analysis.

Methods: The data sets of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2003-2018) and the Food Patterns Equivalents Database were utilised for a weighted multiple logistic regression model to evaluate the association between nut consumption and frailty in elderly adults.
