Background: Adherence to treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD) is compromised due to the need for multiple therapies, comorbidities related to aging, and the complexity of therapeutic schemes. In the present study, we aimed to explore adherence to treatment in groups of PD patients from six Latin-American (LA) countries and identify its associated demographic and clinical parameters.
Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional, exploratory study was conducted from September 2016 to March 2017.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating segmented polyurethanes with catechol groups to enhance their properties.
- By adding a new catechol diol into the soft segment, the polyurethane's mechanical strength significantly increased compared to when it was in the hard segment.
- The research also discovered that protecting the catechol ring during synthesis led to the highest recorded strength for these materials, indicating potential for various applications due to improved performance.
