Article Synopsis
- Advance care planning (ACP) is crucial for older adults but is not widely adopted in community aged care settings; recent studies suggest that holistic, person-centered approaches may enhance engagement.
- The EARLI trial is a randomized study involving 12 aged care organizations in Australia, aiming to test a combined life story work and facilitated ACP intervention over two years with participants aged 65 and older.
- By assessing outcomes like ACP engagement, documentation, and emotional well-being, the trial seeks to demonstrate that personalized approaches can improve ACP uptake and ultimately benefit older adults and their families.
Objective: To establish lactate and glucose differences between affected and non-affected limbs in cats with feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE). To evaluate the correlation between these values and survival to discharge as well as congestive heart failure (CHF).
Methods: Blood glucose and lactate concentrations were prospectively obtained on admission from client-owned FATE cats and client-owned cats presented for other conditions.
A novel nickel-based metal organic framework (MOF) [Ni(FDC)(CHOH)(HO)](HO) (UOW-6) utilizing biomass-derived 2,5-furan dicarboxylate (FDC) as a ligand is reported as an electrocatalyst for anodic ethylene glycol (EG) oxidation with cathodic hydrogen evolution. The MOF structure was analyzed using single crystal X-ray-diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and thermodiffractometry, to establish its structure and verify phase purity. The material was dropcast on carbon fiber paper as a catalyst, and by using a three-electrode system, UOW-6 requires only 1.
