- The increasing number of Canadians over 65 years old highlights the need for smart home technologies to help manage chronic diseases and support independent living among older adults.
- This systematic review evaluated the clinical evidence for various in-home localization technologies, reviewed their acceptability, and categorized the types of technologies available.
- Findings showed mixed results regarding the ability of these technologies to identify cognitive impairments, though they were effective in detecting frailty; acceptability was generally favorable, particularly for ambient sensors, with high accuracy levels for room detection.
The population of older adults is rapidly growing. In-home monitoring systems have been used to support aging-in-place. Ambient sensors or wearable localizers can be used but may be too low resolution, while camera systems are invasive to privacy.

The mechanisms by which its residual calcium salts benefit dentin bonding remain undetermined. The objective of the research was to investigate the role and process of remaining calcium salts in the priming procedure and their capacity for remineralization.

It is reported that polyphenols could yield articular benefits in patients with OA through the inhabitation of key inflammatory pathways. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of polyphenol products for OA treatment.

We developed a curated database-cFos-ANAB-a cFos-based web tool for exploring activated neurons and associated behaviors in rats and mice, comprising 398 brain nuclei and sub-nuclei, and five associated behaviors: pain, fear, feeding, aggression, and sexual behavior.

The goal of this study that was a systematic review of randomised controlled trials of PRP injections for the treatment of OA was to elucidate the therapeutic efficacy of PRP.
