Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes the structural and electron transport properties of a specialized swallow-tailed PDI derivative in thin film form.
  • The research reveals that thermal processing creates a new soft-crystalline mesophase, enhancing charge transport properties in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs).
  • Improvements in device architecture and preparation methods lead to increased electron mobility and overall performance, establishing melt-processing as an effective fabrication technique for high-performance OFETs.

: Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are currently underdiagnosed in the community, and early detection of cognitive deficits is crucial for timely intervention. FACEmemory, the first completely self-administered online memory test with voice recognition, has been launched as an accessible tool to detect such deficits. This study aims to investigate the neuropsychological associations between FACEmemory subscores and cognitive composites derived from traditional paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests and to develop an optimal algorithm using FACEmemory data and demographics to discriminate cognitively healthy (CH) individuals from those with MCI.
