Background: Older adults often experience adverse health outcomes including malnutrition following discharge from emergency departments (ED). Discharge to community care is a transitionary time where nutritional vulnerability could be mitigated with the instigation of targeted nutrition care pathways in ED settings.
Aims And Objectives: This scoping review aimed to establish and describe the level of nutrition care provided to older adults admitted and subsequently discharged from EDs.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess changes in sexual behavior, vaccination rates, and mpox prevalence in Europe and the Americas following the mpox outbreak between May and August 2022.
- The online survey, targeting specific communities over 23 countries, showed that out of nearly 17,000 respondents, about 6.4% reported having mpox and almost 30% received at least one vaccine dose.
- Notably, vaccination rates were lower in Latin America and Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe and Northern America, with 50.9% of participants reporting changes in sexual behavior in response to the outbreak.
Glycolaldehyde, an important prebiotic molecule, along with its monodeuterated species and its higher energy tautomer, ()-1,2-ethenediol, has been detected in the interstellar medium. Although the elemental D/H ratio in the universe is only ∼1.6 × 10, the deuterium relative abundance in interstellar molecules might be by far larger than this.
