Trap States in Reduced Colloidal Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Have Different Proton Stoichiometries.

Added electrons and holes in semiconducting (nano)materials typically occupy "trap states," which often determine their photophysical properties and chemical reactivity. However, trap states are usually ill-defined, with few insights into their stoichiometry or structure. Our laboratory previously reported that aqueous colloidal TiO nanoparticles prepared from TiCl + HO have two classes of electron trap states, termed and .

Hospitalizations Following Complex Hip Surgery in Children with Intellectual Disability: A Self-Controlled Case Series Analysis.

Objectiv: To evaluate the associations between complex hip surgery and subsequent hospitalizations in children with intellectual disability, including a subset of children with cerebral palsy.

Study Design: We: conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked administrative, health, and disability data from Western Australia. Children born between 1983 and 2009 who underwent complex hip surgery by end 2014 were included (intellectual disability, n=154; subset with cerebral palsy, n=91).

Generating and validating renewable affimer protein binding reagents targeting SH2 domains.

Despite SH2 domains, being pivotal in protein interactions linked to various diseases like cancer, we lack specific research tools for intracellular assays. Understanding SH2-mediated interactions and creating effective inhibitors requires tools which target individual protein domains. Affimer reagents exhibit promise, yet their potential against the extensive SH2 domain family remains largely unexplored.

The effect of a low-load plyometric intervention on running kinematics in youth with cerebral palsy: A randomised controlled trial.

Background: For children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) who are independently ambulant (Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) I or II), running is a fundamental movement skill that enables them to play and engage in school and community activities. A running intervention which resulted in good running goal attainment should logically have improved running kinematics, however, this has not yet been established.

Research Question: Does a low-load plyometric running intervention improve joint kinematics during running in children with CP?

Methods: Three-dimensional gait analysis was undertaken before and after a 12-week intervention.

S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) for Liver Health: A Systematic Review.

Background/objectives: S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) is a natural compound implicated in the treatment of liver dysfunction. In this systematic review, our objective was to determine the efficacy, safety, and optimal dose of SAMe in liver diseases.

Methods: Using the PRISMA methodology, we searched PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science using key MeSH search terms.
