Purpose: Taichi Chuan was previously shown to benefit physical health, but the results were inconsistent. The main reason is that the mechanism is not clear and may be interpreted differently. In this systematic review, we analyzed the data obtained from various randomized controlled trials to identify the effectiveness of Taichi Chuan and the mechanism by which it improves the physical health of adults.

Methods: This report describes a retrospective study of 190 cases of cane toad (Rhinella marina) toxicity in cats in south-eastern Queensland, Australia. All cases were presented for veterinary treatment between 2011 and 2020 at four specialist veterinary emergency centres in Southeast Queensland, Australia.
Transmissive dielectric wire grid polarizers tuned to 4.43 eV (Mg II line, 280 nm), an important diagnostic line for solar physics, are presented in this communication. The polarizers are based on TiO gratings and designed with a period of ∼140 nm (7143 lines/mm), 40 nm line width (duty cycle of 0.

- Thick absorber layers in EUV photomasks negatively affect pattern quality in photolithography, necessitating the development of new materials with improved absorption.
- This study focuses on the optical properties of Tellurium (Te) and Tellurium Oxide (TeO) films in the 13-14 nm range, exploring their effectiveness as potential replacements for current absorbers, TaN and TaBN.
- The results indicate that Te and TeO can achieve significantly lower reflectivity at 13.5 nm, with Te showing a reflectivity of about 0.7% at a thickness of 32.4 nm, outperforming traditional materials.
With the older population increasing worldwide, depressive disorder in this cohort is a serious public health problem that contributes to increased healthcare costs and mortality. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression among older adults in Malaysia who attended a daycare centre and to identify the relationship between depression and demographic factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 159 older adults recruited following screening for mental capacity.
