Allied health and the frail patient in hospital - a prospective cohort study.

ObjectivesFrailty is associated with significant mortality and morbidity in hospitalised patients. We describe physiotherapy and occupational therapy practices in hospitalised frail patients and examine the role of early intervention.MethodsWe performed a prospective, observational cohort study in a medical assessment unit in a tertiary care hospital.

Origin of / scaling of primary and secondary conductivity relaxation times in mixture of water with protic ionic liquid.

Murali [, 2024, 15, 3376-3382] made ambient and high pressure dielectric measurements of a supercooled aqueous mixture of an acidic ionic liquid to find the presence of the primary () conductivity relaxation together with the secondary () conductivity relaxation originating from the water clusters confined by the cations and anions with relaxation times and respectively. From the isothermal and isobaric conductivity relaxation data found on varying thermodynamic conditions ( and ) at constant are the invariance of (i) the frequency dispersion or the Kohlrausch function exponent (1 - ) of the primary conductivity relaxation, and (ii) the ratio of the primary and secondary conductivity times, /. This co-invariance of , , and (1 - ) at constant was observed before in non-aqueous ionic liquids, but it is found for the first time in aqueous ionic liquids.

Measuring concordance and discordance between selected individual characteristics and corresponding neighborhood-level social determinants of health.

Background: Individuals reside within communities influenced by various social determinants impacting health, which may harmonize or conflict at individual and neighborhood levels. While some experience concordant circumstances, discordance is prevalent, yet poorly understood due to the lack of a universally accepted method for quantifying it. This paper proposes a methodology to address this gap.

Regulating Surface-Passivator Binding Priority for Efficient Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes.

Suppressing trap-assisted nonradiative losses through passivators is a prerequisite for efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, the complex bonding between passivators and perovskites severely suppresses the passivation process, which still lacks comprehensive understanding. Herein, the number, category, and degree of bonds between different functional groups and the perovskite are quantitatively assessed to study the passivation dynamics.
