Cognitive frailty is defined by the simultaneous presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, without a confirmed diagnosis of dementia, and has become a significant geriatric syndrome. This study aimed to explore the association between chronic pain and the risk of cognitive frailty.

Eliminating soil Cr contamination or improving crop resistance to Cr is challenging in terms of costly, environment and biodiversity risk. Here, we used chitosan hydrogel microspheres loaded with Bacillus subtilis to cope with plant stress caused by Cr contamination.

- China initiated a 5-year pilot programme (2016-2020) to enhance home- and community-based long-term care services in response to increasing demand from older adults.
- A study using data from 3,327 older adults evaluated the programme's effectiveness, revealing it reduced unmet needs for assistance with instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and slowed the progression of IADL limitations.
- Although there was no significant impact on activities of daily living (ADL) needs, the programme's effects varied by region and living situation, highlighting the need for targeted support for older adults living alone to address disparities.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the processes e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s1}(2536)^{-} and e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{+}D_{s2}^{*}(2573)^{-} using data from the BESIII detector, focusing on a range of center-of-mass energies.
- For the first time, the absolute branching fractions of the decay processes for D_{s1}(2536)^{-} and D_{s2}^{*}(2573)^{-} are measured, revealing values of 35.9% and 37.4% respectively.
- The research identifies a resonant structure around 4.6 Ge
