Introduction: Older adults with frailty have an increased likelihood of unmet care needs, falls and fractures and so on, which brings serious burdens to society. By evaluating the association between physical frailty and social support in community-dwelling older adults, we will provide reference for preventing the occurrence of frailty.
Methods: Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on association between frailty and social support in community-dwelling older adults were mainly searched from the database of Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus and Web of Science from their establishment to February 16, 2024.

Background: Co-build is one of the four pillars of the Patient Engagement Framework from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Strategy for Patient Oriented Research. Collaborating with Patient Research Partners (PRPs) using co-build approaches can enhance the applicability of healthcare tools produced. Human Centred Design (HCD), a problem-solving methodology focused on creating functional solutions for users, offers a promising approach to co-building patient engagement tools.

Diabetes affects millions in the US, causing elevated blood glucose levels that could lead to complications like kidney failure and heart disease. Recent development of continuous glucose monitors has enabled a minimally invasive option, but the discomfort and social factors highlight the need for noninvasive alternatives in diabetes management. We propose a portable noninvasive glucose sensing system based on the glucose's optical activity property which rotates linearly polarized light depending on its concentration level.

The phenomenon where a committed minority overturns established social norms, frequently witnessed in revolutions and elections, has drawn extensive attention as it powerfully showcases the profound influence of strong personal convictions. In order to unravel the underlying mechanisms of the crucial role of public opinion within the dynamic process where a committed minority can leverage negative public opinion to challenge the status and even overturn established norms when a critical threshold is reached, we investigated the effects of negative public opinion by integrating it into the well-established traditional naming game model. It was found that there exists an optimal range of negative public opinion influence, which facilitates the minority's ability to gain power and achieve social consensus.

Introduction: Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methods have been developed to support evidence-informed policy-making by assessing the comparative value and costs of health interventions and programs. However, the complexity of many health interventions presents challenges to the use of conventional HTA methods. This scoping review collated and synthesised international approaches to the HTA of complex interventions including identifying assessment criteria, types of evidence and the domains of value that are most favoured.
