Adopting an adaptation‑mitigation‑resilience framework to ageing.

Age Ageing

Center for Aging Science & Division of Social Science, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, People's Republic of China.

Published: May 2021

Population ageing is presented as one of the 'grand challenges' of the 21st century. Yet, policies designed to offset these challenges seem to be a jumbled, disjointed mix with no clear, overarching narrative. One of the successes of climate change science is the development of a clear, distinguishable framework to plan action: adaptation, mitigation and resilience. This framework can be applied to designing better policy for ageing: adapting to support people in need today; mitigating future challenges by ensuring that people and institutions 'age better'; and building resilience by developing both a longer-term perspective and policy learning framework.

Objective: Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign brain tumors that are primarily treated with surgery. Although the extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA) has evolved as a more reliable surgical alternative and yields better visual outcomes than traditional craniotomy, postoperative visual deterioration remains one of the most common complications, and relevant risk factors are still poorly defined. Hence, identifying risk factors and developing a predictive model for postoperative visual deterioration is indeed necessary.

Surgical Scheduling Errors During Manual Data Transfer.

Qual Manag Health Care

January 2025

Author Affiliations: Source Healthcare, Santa Monica, California.

Background And Objectives: Retrospective studies examining errors within a surgical scheduling setting do not fully represent the effects of human error involved in transcribing critical patient health information (PHI). These errors can negatively impact patient care and reduce workplace efficiency due to insurance claim denials and potential sentinel events. Previous reports underscore the burden physicians face with prior authorizations which may lead to serious adverse events or the abandonment of treatment due to these delays.

Palladium (Pd) catalysts are promising for electrochemical reduction of CO to CO but often can be deactivated by poisoning owing to the strong affinity of *CO on Pd sites. Theoretical investigations reveal that different configurations of *CO endow specific adsorption energies, thereby dictating the final performances. Here, a regulatory strategy toward *CO absorption configurations is proposed to alleviate CO poisoning by simultaneously incorporating Cu and Zn atoms into ultrathin Pd nanosheets (NSs).

Although many organizations have adopted blockchain technology (BCT) for efficiency and automation and users' adoption of BCT is becoming crucial for the companies, few studies have focused on the factors affecting the adoption of BCT in real estate sector. This study aims to assess the factors affecting the adoption of BCT in real estate by the lens of an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Task-technology fit (TTF). This current study uses quantitative survey approach.

Case: We report a case of coccygeal dislocation complicated by defecatory dysfunction and discuss its treatment and mechanisms. A 58-year-old man was presented with coccygeal pain and defecatory dysfunction after sustaining an injury from a 1-m fall. Following diagnosis, a combined approach involving surgical treatment and physiotherapy was adopted, resulting in early symptom improvement and favorable long-term outcomes.
