Engagement With Digital Health Technologies Among Older People Living in Socially Deprived Areas: Qualitative Study of Influencing Factors.

Background: The potential benefits of incorporating digital technologies into health care are well documented. For example, they can improve access for patients living in remote or underresourced locations. However, despite often having the greatest health needs, people who are older or living in more socially deprived areas may be less likely to have access to these technologies and often lack the skills to use them.

Empirical Determination of Scattering Matrices from Magnetic Molecular Interferometry for Gas-Surface Collisions.

The rotational orientation dependence of H scattering into different diffraction channels on a Cu(511) surface is studied using a magnetic manipulation interferometry technique. For some channels, markedly different signals are measured, whereas for others, they are more similar. The data are analyzed to obtain scattering matrices, which quantify how the amplitude and phase of the wave function change during the gas-surface collision and are extremely sensitive to the underlying potential.

Strategies to optimise the health equity impact of digital pain self-reporting tools: a series of multi-stakeholder focus groups.

Background: There are avoidable differences (i.e., inequities) in the prevalence and distribution of chronic pain across diverse populations, as well as in access to and outcomes of pain management services.

Using systems mapping to understand the constraints and enablers of solutions to plastic pollution.

Plastic pollution is now considered globally ubiquitous, irreversible, and a planetary boundary threat. Solutions are urgently needed but their development and application are hampered by the complexity and scale of the issue. System dynamics is a technique used to understand complex behaviours of systems through model building and is useful for conceptualising the relationships between various interacting, dynamic factors, and identifying potential intervention points within the system where specific policies or innovations might have the greatest impact or meet with the greatest resistance.

Both Maternal High-Fat and Post-Weaning High-Carbohydrate Diets Increase Rates of Spontaneous Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Aged-Mouse Offspring.

Both maternal obesity and postnatal consumption of obesogenic diets contribute to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no consensus as to whether diets that are high in fat or carbohydrates/sugars differentially influence the development of HCC. Moreover, the long-term effects of prenatal HF exposure on HCC and whether this is influenced by postnatal diet has not yet been evaluated.
