Introduction/objective: Multidimensional geriatric assessment is an important diagnostic method in geriatrics. The objective of this article was to establish the relationship between nutritional, functional, cognitive status and oral health of institutionalized older adults.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, where 93 institutionalized older adults participated, including oral assessment and Barthel, Minimental, Mininutritional and Yesavage scales.
Content moderators review problematic content for technology companies. One concern is that repeated exposure to false claims could cause moderators to come to believe the very claims they are supposed to moderate, via the "illusory truth effect." In a first lab-in-field experiment ( = 199) with a global content moderation company, we found that exposure to false claims while working as moderators increased subsequent belief among (mostly Indian and Philippine) employees by 7.

- Pheochromocytoma, often called 'the great masquerader', can present with symptoms like headaches, sweating, and rapid heart rate, making its diagnosis challenging over the years.
- A literature review from 1900 to 2023 highlights the evolution from poor recognition and unreliable tests to significant advancements in screening and diagnostic methods for this tumor.
- Improved biochemical tests, imaging techniques, and histopathological methods have enabled early detection and better management of pheochromocytomas, leading to effective surgical interventions.
The goal of the current study was to develop a pig model to investigate oxidative stress with a low negative impact on piglet welfare. Four independent trials (A, B, C, and D) were performed using a single intraperitoneal shot of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an immune challenge, aiming to assess the minimal LPS dose for piglets of different age to trigger a measurable acute oxidative stress response in healthy animals. In trial A, piglets received an LPS dose of 25 µg/KgBW at 41 days post-weaning (p.

- The study looked at how mixing piglets together can cause stress and fighting among them.
- In two trials, piglets were either kept alone or mixed with others to see how they reacted, measuring things like stress hormones in their saliva and blood.
- The results showed that mixed piglets had more skin injuries and similar stress levels compared to those that stayed alone, especially in the second trial.
