However, an appropriate rheological description of these fluids remains missing. We characterize the time-dependent material properties of in vitro protein condensates using laser tweezer-based active and microbead-based passive rheology.

BMJ Support Palliat Care
June 2020
Article Synopsis
- The study examined factors that influence whether older patients in nursing homes are transferred to hospitals at the end of life, amidst an expected increase in this population in France.
- Out of 680 nursing homes surveyed in the Rhône-Alpes region, 68% responded, revealing that many facilities had palliative care programs and a coordinating physician, with 19 deaths on average per home each year.
- Findings highlighted that nursing homes with night shift nurses were more likely to have deaths occur on-site rather than in hospitals, suggesting that having night staff may reduce emergency transfers in end-of-life care.
