Negative foot speed (i.e., the speed of the backward and downward motion of the foot relative to the body at ground contact) is a strong predictor of sprinting performance.

Here, we optimise the synthesis of renal-clearable gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) for enhanced catalytic activity with the aim of developing a sensitive colourimetric diagnostic for bacterial infection. All-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirm the stability of glutathione-coated AuNCs and surface access for peroxidase-like activity in complex physiological environments.

- The study assessed 5-year survival rates for colorectal cancer patients in Mexico who were treated under Seguro Popular, a public health insurance system.
- It involved 1418 patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2016, revealing an overall survival rate of 50% and noting that 78.1% were diagnosed at advanced stages (III and IV).
- Findings emphasized the importance of early screening, particularly as younger patients with metastatic disease had a poorer prognosis compared to older patients.
Background: Influenza is associated with significant global morbidity and mortality, with vaccination being the primary preventive strategy. Despite recommendations, influenza vaccine uptake among healthcare providers (HCPs) remains suboptimal, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean. We aimed to assess the attitudes and practices of HCPs in Jordan regarding seasonal influenza vaccination and assess sources of variation thereof.

- * A multicomponent intervention included outreach methods like mailed tests, texts, and emails, along with enabling nurses to order screening tests directly.
- * Results showed a significant increase in CRC screening rates post-intervention, suggesting that similar strategies could effectively boost screening participation for this age group.
