Assessment of potentially toxic and rare earth elements in surface soils of Dong Nai, Vietnam.

This study investigates the quantities of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) in Dong Nai Province's surface soils. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) were used to determine element concentrations. To validate the concentration results, established reference materials (NIST 2711 and IAEA Soil-7) were used.

Enteral Midodrine for Intravenous Vasopressor Weaning in Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury Patients.

Enteral vasopressor therapies have been used to facilitate the weaning of intravenous (IV) vasopressors in critically ill patients. Studies have shown mixed results in the medically critically ill population; however, this practice is still common. The use of enteral vasopressors in the acute traumatic spinal cord injury is less well-described.

Reporting of sex and/or gender in randomised controlled trials of physiotherapy interventions remains problematic: a systematic review.

Background: Little is known about how sex and/or gender is reported in trials on physiotherapy interventions.

Objectives: To determine the nature and extent of reporting sex and/or gender information in randomised controlled trials of physiotherapy interventions.

Data Sources: Physiotherapy, Journal of Physiotherapy, Physical Therapy, Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy, and Journal of Orthopaedics and Sports Physical Therapy.

Serial Paediatrics Omics Tracking in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (SPOT-ME): protocol paper for a multidisciplinary, observational study of clinical and biological markers of paediatric myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome in Australian adolescents aged 12-19 years.

Introduction: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling condition that can affect adolescents during a vulnerable period of development. The underlying biological mechanisms for ME/CFS remain unclear and have rarely been investigated in the adolescent population, despite this period representing an age peak in the overall incidence. The primary objective of this is to provide a foundational set of biological data on adolescent ME/CFS patients.
