The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) instrument is used to measure motor and mobility problems in patients who have experienced a stroke. The purposes of the study were to examine the interrater reliability, concurrent and convergent validity of the STREAM instrument in stroke patients. Fifty-four stroke patients participated in the study. For the purpose of interrater reliability, the STREAM instrument was administered by two raters on each patient within a 2-day period. Validity was assessed by comparing the patients' scores on the STREAM instrument with those obtained from the other well-established measures. Weighted kappa statistics for inter-rater agreement on scores for individual items ranged from 0.55 to 0.94. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the total score was 0.96 indicating very high inter-rater reliability. The intraclass correlation coefficients were also very high in each of the subscales. The total STREAM score was moderately to highly associated with the score of the Barthel Index and Fugl-Meyer motor assessment scale, rho = 0.67, and 0.95, respectively. The STREAM subscale scores were closely associated with scores of the other well-validated measures. Our results demonstrate that consistent and valid information can be obtained from the STREAM instrument and support its use in the value of the STREAM evaluation of motor and mobility recovery in persons who have experienced a stroke.

Until now, mass spectrometry databases lack molecular information of most organosilicon oligomers, and risk models needing accurate molecular descriptors are unavailable for these emerging contaminants with thousands of monomers. To address this issue, based on molecular/fragment ions and relative abundance from GC-Orbitrap-MS, this study developed appropriate classification (accuracies = 0.750-0.

Objective: The aim of the study is to verify whether the electronic nose system - an array of 17 gas sensors with a signal analysis system - is a useful tool for the classification and preliminary assessment of the quality of drainage water.
Material And Methods: Water samples for analysis were collected in the Park Ludowy (People's Park), located next to the Bystrzyca River, near the city center of Lublin in eastern Poland. Drainage water was sampled at 4 different points.

The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are well known to utilise a wide variety of organic waste streams, delivering a product rich in protein (30-50%) and lipids (15-49%) and other micronutrients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to predict the concentration of fatty acids in BSFL reared in different commercial waste streams. Intact BSFL samples were analysed using a bench top NIR instrument where calibration models for fatty acids were developed using partial least squares (PLS) regression.

ConspectusThe surface of a catalyst is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of catalytic reactions at the molecular level and developing new catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, and durability. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) is a technique studying the surface of a sample in the gas phase, mainly identifying chemical identity, analyzing oxidation state, and measuring surface composition.In the last decade, numerous photoelectron spectroscopic methods for fundamental studies of key topics in catalysis using AP-XPS have been developed.

Modern total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful orthopedic procedures performed, utilizing a variety of fixation methods, stem geometry and designs to provide immediate post-operative weight bearing. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of intraoperative periprosthetic fractures, subsidence rates and aseptic loosening between collared stems compared with non-collared tapered stems during THA. A retrospective chart review identified 983 THA cases performed by a single surgeon between 2013-2021.
