Spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets can be used to investigate their atmospheric properties and habitability. Combining radial velocity (RV) and transit data provides additional information on exoplanet physical properties. We detect a transiting rocky planet with an orbital period of 1.467 days around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 486. The planet Gliese 486 b is 2.81 Earth masses and 1.31 Earth radii, with uncertainties of 5%, as determined from RV data and photometric light curves. The host star is at a distance of ~8.1 parsecs, has a -band magnitude of ~7.2, and is observable from both hemispheres of Earth. On the basis of these properties and the planet's short orbital period and high equilibrium temperature, we show that this terrestrial planet is suitable for emission and transit spectroscopy.

Aim: To describe the complex roles of and crucial support provided by caregivers to young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) during the transition to adulthood.
Method: This was a qualitative study. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews (13 caregiver; 7 patient/caregiver dyad) and analyzed data using a qualitative descriptive approach informed by phenomenological principles.
Progressive Multicomponent Intervention for Older Adults in Home Health Settings Following Hospitalization: Randomized Clinical Trial.

December 2024
Eastern Colorado VA Health Care System, Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), Aurora, CO, United States.
Objectives: Reduced physical function following hospitalization places older adults at risk of adverse health events. Many older adults receive home health physical therapy to reverse their deconditioning; however, optimal approaches to improve physical function are currently not known. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a home health care approach comprised of high-intensity exercise, enhanced care transition, and protein supplementation.

The increasing surface heat in metropolitan areas is one of the biggest issues, especially as natural surfaces are being replaced by impermeable concrete surfaces. This study uses Landsat data (1991-2022) to examine the spatio-temporal dynamics of LST and LULC in Jaipur, highlighting the impact of urban expansion and the city's semi-arid nature on the thermal landscape. We have used the maximum likelihood classifier for supervised LULC classification and the mono-window algorithm for retrieving LST.

Background: In-clinic gait retraining has been effective in modifying suspected biomechanical risk factors for running injury, but its feasibility is often limited by multiple clinic visits. This randomized clinical trial investigated the effects of a telehealth-based gait retraining intervention on running biomechanics, pain, and function in previously injured runners.
Methods: Twenty-three participants recovering from lower extremity injuries were randomized to a control or intervention group.
