Nanoscale detection and control of the magnetic order underpins a spectrum of condensed-matter research and device functionalities involving magnetism. The key principle involved is the breaking of time-reversal symmetry, which in ferromagnets is generated by an internal magnetization. However, the presence of a net magnetization limits device scalability and compatibility with phases, such as superconductors and topological insulators.

Article Synopsis
  • Medication adjustments for Parkinson's disease are based on patient feedback and clinicians' assessments of motor symptoms like bradykinesia and tremor.
  • This study evaluates how consistently different clinicians assess upper limb motor function in Parkinson's patients during video recordings of standardized hand movements.
  • Results show that initial agreement among clinicians was poor, especially for certain movements, but training improved their consistency in ratings significantly.

Introduction: Trauma is common and may lead to lasting adverse effects on health. Trauma-informed practice does not treat trauma but uses a strengths-based approach to encourage engagement in services.

Objective: To understand how physiotherapy attends to trauma-informed principles.

Aim: Acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase family member 10 (ACAD10) is a mitochondrial protein purported to be involved in the fatty acid oxidation pathway. Metformin is the most prescribed therapy for type 2 diabetes; however, its precise mechanisms of action(s) are still being uncovered. Upregulation of ACAD10 is a requirement for metformin's ability to inhibit growth in cancer cells and extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans.
