Background: Camouflaging involves the masking of autism traits, potentially creating an outer impression of "non-autisticness." Although associations of camouflaging with anxiety and depression in autistic adults are widely reported, factors that mediate these associations are unclear. We examined two potential mediators of the association between camouflaging and anxiety/depression: perceived stress and emotion regulation (ER) challenges.

In this study, the effect of six commercial superplasticizers on the performance of cement mixes containing 35% LGL and 2% gypsum was investigated. The optimal doses of these superplasticizers were found in a range of different water/binder (w/b) ratios by conducting several Marsh cone and mini-slump tests.

- The study investigates elderly patients (over 80 years old) in Polish ICUs, aiming to understand their clinical features and outcomes.
- Researchers collected data from 371 patients, comparing frail (CFS > 4) to non-frail patients and assessing mortality rates.
- Findings indicate higher ICU and 30-day mortality in frail patients, with clinical frailty scale (CFS) and SOFA score being significant predictors of ICU mortality.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate if the tendency to limit life-sustaining treatment (LST) among elderly patients in Poland increased from 2016-2017 to 2018-2019.
- The research involved analyzing data from two cohorts of critically ill patients aged over 80, finding that the prevalence of LST limitations rose from 16.1% to 20.5% over the years.
- Although the increase wasn't statistically significant in basic analyses, further investigation showed a stronger inclination to limit LST in the later cohort, along with higher mortality and longer hospital stays for patients with LST limitations.
