Associations of nutritional intake and inflammatory factors with sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Sarcopenia is an age-related disease that is related to nutritional intake and chronic low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of dietary intake, inflammatory markers and sarcopenia among the community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: A total of 1001 older adults aged 60 and above were recruited.

Liquid Metal Elastomer-Based U-Shaped Electrode Flexible Strain Sensors with Enhanced Stability and Sensitivity.

Soft and stretchable strain sensors are crucial for applications in human-machine interfaces, flexible robotics, and electronic skin. Among these, capacitive strain sensors are widely used and studied; however, they face challenges due to material and structural constraints, such as low baseline capacitance and susceptibility to external interference, which result in low signal-to-noise ratios and poor stability. To address these issues, we propose a U-shaped electrode flexible strain sensor based on liquid metal elastomer (LME).

Rapid Determination of Organic and Inorganic Selenium in Poultry Tissues by Internal Extractive Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry.

An online reactive internal extraction electrospray ionization (iEESI) method was developed for the rapid determination of organic and inorganic speciation information for selenium in poultry tissue samples without complex sample pretreatment. The addition of citric acid as a reducing agent to the internal extraction solvent of methanol/acetic acid (99:1, V/V) for iEESI resulted in the reduction of selenate in the sample to selenite, accompanied by the production of malic acid as an oxidation product. The quantitative analysis of selenate was conducted by using malic acid.

Wound care of Sweet syndrome in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma: a case report.

Sweet syndrome (SS), which is characterised by fever and erythematous tender skin lesions, has been shown to be associated with lymphoma. However, there are limited reported experiences on the wound care of SS in patients with lymphoma. This case report presents the wound care of SS in a patient with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ALCL).

Healthcare professionals' perspectives on commercial milk formula marketing in the UK: a qualitative study.

Objectives: To understand (1) healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perceptions and experiences of commercial milk formula (CMF) marketing to consumers and HCPs and (2) HCPs' perspectives on regulation of CMF marketing.

Setting: UK.

Design: In-person and online interviews with 41 HCPs with regular contact with pregnant women and mothers.
