Association between sarcopenic obesity and risk of frailty in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Age-related changes in body composition such as muscle loss can lead to sarcopenia, which is closely associated with frailty. However, the effect of body fat accumulation on frailty in old age remains unclear. In particular, the association between the combination of these two conditions, known as sarcopenic obesity, and frailty in older adults is unclear.

Association between adverse childhood experiences and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Adverse childhood experiences represent a critical public health concern that warrants urgent attention and cannot be overlooked. The evidence regarding the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and mortality has been insufficient and inconsistent. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the association between adverse childhood experiences, including their subtypes, and various mortality outcomes.

Multidimensional frailty as a predictor of mortality among older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This systematic review examined studies that assessed the relationship between mortality risk and multidimensional frailty. The pooled risk of mortality was estimated via a meta-analysis.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The effectiveness of the comprehensive geriatric assessment for older adults with frailty in hospital settings: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is performed by a multidisciplinary team and includes systematic comprehensive team assessment and treatment. Comprehensive geriatric assessment has become a fundamental component of geriatric nursing, as a multidimensional approach is necessary to achieve the best diagnosis and therapy for older adults with frailty.

Objective: The aim of our review was to analyze the effects of comprehensive geriatric assessment interventions on older adults with frailty in hospital settings.

Effects of nurse-led interventions on the physical and mental health among pre-frail or frail older adults: A systematic review.

Background: Globally, there is an increase in the number of older people living with frailty, thus effective strategies to prevent and manage frailty are of paramount importance. The effects of nurse-led interventions on the physical and mental health of (pre) frail people have not yet been systematically reviewed.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library from inception to 8 May 2024.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL and three Chinese databases.

Are microplastics in livestock and poultry manure an emerging threat to agricultural soil safety?

Microplastics (MPs) have attracted much attention in recent years, due to the difficulty of degradation and threats to ecological systems and humans. Based on the analysis of 1429 articles on MPs in soil, we found that we know little about the behavior and fate of manure-born MPs from the livestock and poultry production systems to agriculture soils. This review summarizes the analytical methods for sampling, separation, and identification and the occurrence of MPs in livestock and poultry manure, mainly based on 7 surveys related to manure-born MPs.

Relationship Between Cognitive Frailty and Mortality in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To synthesize the pooled mortality risk estimate and determine whether cognitive frailty is a predictor of mortality.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting And Participants: The participants were community-dwelling older adults aged ≥60 years.

Geometrical frustration versus Kitaev interactions in BaCo(AsO).

Recently, Co-based honeycomb magnets have been proposed as promising candidate materials to host the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) state. One of the front-runners is BaCo(AsO) (BCAO), where it was suggested that the exchange processes between Co ions via the surrounding edge-sharing oxygen octahedra could give rise to bond-dependent Kitaev interactions. In this work, we present and analyze a comprehensive inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of BCAO with fields in the honeycomb plane.

Effectiveness of interventions in older adults with cognitive frailty: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: interventions targeting older adults with cognitive frailty have grown rapidly in recent years with inconsistent findings. However, there is no meta-analysis that has synthesised pooled estimates.

Objective: to synthesise the pooled effect of current targeted interventions in older people with cognitive frailty.

Evidence for pressure induced unconventional quantum criticality in the coupled spin ladder antiferromagnet CHNCuBr.

Quantum phase transitions in quantum matter occur at zero temperature between distinct ground states by tuning a nonthermal control parameter. Often, they can be accurately described within the Landau theory of phase transitions, similarly to conventional thermal phase transitions. However, this picture can break down under certain circumstances.

Prevalence of cognitive frailty among community-dwelling older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Freezing of a Disorder Induced Spin Liquid with Strong Quantum Fluctuations.

Sr_{2}CuTe_{0.5}W_{0.5}O_{6} is a square-lattice magnet with superexchange between S=1/2Cu^{2+} spins mediated by randomly distributed Te and W ions.

Pristine quantum criticality in a Kondo semimetal.

The observation of quantum criticality in diverse classes of strongly correlated electron systems has been instrumental in establishing ordering principles, discovering new phases, and identifying the relevant degrees of freedom and interactions. At focus so far have been insulators and metals. Semimetals, which are of great current interest as candidate phases with nontrivial topology, are much less explored in experiments.

Monopolar and dipolar relaxation in spin ice HoTiO.

Ferromagnetically interacting Ising spins on the pyrochlore lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra form a highly degenerate manifold of low-energy states. A spin flip relative to this "spin-ice" manifold can fractionalize into two oppositely charged magnetic monopoles with effective Coulomb interactions. To understand this process, we have probed the low-temperature magnetic response of spin ice to time-varying magnetic fields through stroboscopic neutron scattering and SQUID magnetometry on a new class of ultrapure HoTiO crystals.

circFOXO3 protects cardiomyocytes against radiation‑induced cardiotoxicity.

Radiation therapy, one of the major treatment options for cancer, can cause delayed heart damage. The circular RNA (circRNA) circFOXO3 (hsa_circ_0006404) is associated with cancer progression. However, the functions of circFOXO3 in radiation‑induced cardiotoxicity remains unknown.

Intertwined density waves in a metallic nickelate.

Nickelates are a rich class of materials, ranging from insulating magnets to superconductors. But for stoichiometric materials, insulating behavior is the norm, as for most late transition metal oxides. Notable exceptions are the 3D perovskite LaNiO, an unconventional paramagnetic metal, and the layered Ruddlesden-Popper phases RNiO, (R = La, Pr, Nd).

Anisotropic effect of a magnetic field on the neutron spin resonance in FeSe.

We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the effect of a magnetic field on the neutron spin resonance ( = 3.6 meV) of superconducting FeSe ( = 9 K). While a field aligned along the in-plane direction broadens and suppresses the resonance, a -axis aligned field does so much more efficiently, consistent with the anisotropic field-induced suppression of the superfluid density from the heat capacity measurements.

Low-energy magnons in the chiral ferrimagnet CuOSeO: A coarse-grained approach.

We report a comprehensive neutron scattering study of low energy magnetic excitations in the breathing pyrochlore helimagnetic CuOSeO. Fully documenting the four lowest energy magnetic modes that leave the ferrimagnetic configuration of the "strong tetrahedra" intact ( meV), we find gapless quadratic dispersion at the point for energies above 0.2 meV, two doublets separated by 1.
