The purpose of this article was to describe the Personal Health Records Adoption Model and how it was developed. Older adults who often find themselves managing their own care or the care of their families have expressed interest in using electronic personal health records as a management tool, but few are using them. The literature does not provide a comprehensive model of personal health record adoption among older adults with chronic illness; therefore, essential barriers and facilitators were synthesized from existing literature to create the model. The model derivation and synthesis process drew upon candidate theoretical frameworks, including two behavioral theories, an informatics theory, and a self-management theory, while using the Informatics Research Organizing Model as an organizing framework. The Personal Health Records Adoption Model captures important barriers and facilitators that could predict adoption of personal health records among older adults with chronic illness. The long-term goal is to use this explanatory model to develop interventions that will maximize the facilitators and minimize the barriers to personal health record adoption.

Soil oil pollution is a major environmental issue, especially in oil-producing nations, as it threatens the health of plants, animals, and humans. While bioremediation has been extensively utilized as a cost-effective method for restoring oil-contaminated soil, its environmental impact has garnered relatively little attention. Researchers often concentrate on reducing pollutant concentrations below permissible limits to restore soil quality.

Farnesol (FAR) belongs to terpenes group and is a sesquiterpene alcohol and a hydrophobic compound, which can be extracted from natural sources or obtained by organic chemical or biological synthesis. Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology allow the drawbacks of low drug solubility, which can improve the drug therapeutic index. Therefore, this study aimed to prepare the FAR inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) through freeze-drying method, proposing their physicochemical characterization, comparing their toxicity, and evaluating their in vitro antibacterial activity.

Background: Long-leg alignment and joint line obliquity have traditionally been assessed using two-dimensional (2D) radiography, but the accuracy of this measurement has remained unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of 2D measurements of lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) using upright three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT).

Methods: This study involved 66 knees from 38 patients (34 women, four men) with knee osteoarthritis (OA), categorized by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade.
