Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the link between sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and cognitive impairment in older adults, focusing on how muscle characteristics like appendicular lean mass (ALM) and walking pace affect cognitive performance.
  • - Findings from genetic analyses reveal a strong causal relationship where higher ALM and faster walking pace correlate with better cognitive function, while low grip strength does not show a significant association.
  • - The relationship appears to be bidirectional, with cognitive function also influencing muscle traits, suggesting that maintaining muscle health may be vital for cognitive well-being in older individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created and tested a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to identify conditions like spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis using X-ray images of the lumbar region.
  • They analyzed 2449 X-ray images, categorizing them into normal and abnormal cases, and used the EfficientNetV2-M network to train the model on these images.
  • The DCNN model outperformed human diagnoses, achieving a 92% accuracy, and its performance was visually analyzed using Grad-CAM to highlight important areas for detection.

Flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) is a promising electromembrane technology for wastewater treatment and materials recovery. In this study, we used low-cost Na-modified zeolite (Na-zeolite) to prepare a composite flow-electrode (FE) suspension with a small amount of highly conductive carbon black (CB) to remove and recover NH from synthetic and actual wastewater (200 mg-N/L). Compared with conventional activated carbon (AC), the Na-zeolite electrode exhibited a 56.
