Pump-probe experiments investigate the strain sensitivity of crustal elastic properties, showing nonlinear variations during the strain cycle. In the laboratory, pre-seismic reductions in seismic velocity indicate that asperity contacts within the fault zone begin to fail before the macroscopic frictional sliding. The recognition of such effects in natural seismic-cycles has been challenging.

The purpose of this study was to describe the selection criteria for referral to geriatric rehabilitation, care provided, and recovery trajectories of post-COVID-19 patients referred to geriatric rehabilitation in Europe.
Methods: This observational cohort study included 723 patients in 59 care facilities for geriatric rehabilitation across 10 countries.
The detection of magnetic nanoparticles in a liquid medium and the quantification of their concentration have the potential to improve the efficiency of several relevant applications in different fields, including medicine, environmental remediation, and mechanical engineering. To this end, sensors based on the magneto-impedance effect have attracted much attention due to their high sensitivity to the stray magnetic field generated by magnetic nanoparticles, their simple fabrication process, and their relatively low cost. To improve the sensitivity of these sensors, a multidisciplinary approach is required to study a wide range of soft magnetic materials as sensing elements and to customize the magnetic properties of nanoparticles.

- * Recent guidelines recommend complete revascularization as the standard treatment for significant non-culprit lesions (NCLs), but careful risk-benefit evaluations are necessary before proceeding.
- * The article reviews MVD management in STEMI patients and highlights the main techniques for guiding revascularization in this high-risk group, noting that optimal assessment timing and methods for NCLs remain inconsistent.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CAD) in hospitalized patients with bacterial infections, noting that previous research indicated issues mainly in viral infections.
- Fifty participants were enrolled, with cardiovascular function assessed at the start and after 6 weeks to determine changes in autonomic responses.
- Results showed that patients with bacterial infections had significantly lower heart rate variability (HRV) compared to healthy participants, indicating a higher prevalence of CAD in the infection group throughout the study period.
