In situ impedance measurements were employed to investigate the electrical transport properties of BaMoO under pressures of up to 20.0 GPa. Two anomalous changes in the electrical parameters were found, related to the pressure-induced structural phase transitions. The dielectric performance of BaMoO was improved by pressure. The dispersion in the real part of dielectric constant versus frequency weakens with increasing pressure. Based on the first-principles calculations, the increases of resistance with increasing pressure in the tetragonal and monoclinic phases were mainly caused by the increasing defect levels. The decrease of the relative permittivity in the tetragonal phase was attributed to pressure-induced strengthening in electronic localization around Mo atoms, which hindered the polarization of Mo-O electric dipoles.

The Combined Effect of Multisensory Stimulation and Therapist Support on Physical and Mental Health of Older Adults Living in Nursing Homes: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
School of Public Health, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.
Background: Increasing life expectancy has led to a rise in nursing home admissions, a context in which older adults often experience chronic physical and mental health conditions, chronic pain, and reduced well-being. Nonpharmacological approaches are especially important for managing older adults' chronic pain, mental health conditions (such as anxiety and depression), and overall well-being, including sensory stimulation (SS) and therapist support (TS). However, the combined effects of SS and TS have not been investigated.

Purpose Of Review: The increasing use of prone position, in intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome as well as in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure receiving noninvasive respiratory support, mandates a better definition and monitoring of the response to the manoeuvre. This review will first discuss the definition of the response to prone positioning, which is still largely based on its effect on oxygenation. We will then address monitoring respiratory and hemodynamic responses to prone positioning in intubated patients.

Department of Ophthalmology, Rothschild Foundation, Paris, France; and.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia and hypobaric conditions on refraction and central corneal thickness on healthy corneas during an ascent without oxygen supplementation above 7000 m (23 000 ft).
Methods: Twelve multinational mountaineers were included in a prospective observational cohort study during an expedition to the Korzhenevskoi Peak (7105 m). The two patients excluded from the study had a history with keratoconus or were current wearers of rigid contact lenses.

Combination of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) results in extremely high morbidity and mortality. The current guideline-directed medical therapy is rarely effective and new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The study was designed to examine if renal denervation (RDN) will exhibit long-standing beneficial effects on the HF- and CKD-related morbidity and mortality.

Radiotherapy is an integral component in the treatment of many types of cancer, with approximately half of cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. Systemic therapy applies pressure that can select for resistant tumor subpopulations, underscoring the importance of understanding how radiation impacts tumor evolution to improve treatment outcomes. We integrated temporal genomic profiling of 120 spatially distinct tumor regions from 20 patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS), longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, and evolutionary biology computational pipelines to study UPS evolution during tumorigenesis and in response to radiotherapy.
