Despite being a common concern, there are very few minimally invasive treatments targeting neck skin laxity (NSL) reported in the literature. To assess the efficacy of hyperdiluted calcium hydroxyapatite (hy-CaHA) for the treatment of NSL, according to the NSL scale, and to estimate safety. Twenty patients showing NSL were treated with hy-CaHA 1:2. To evaluate the efficacy of hy-CaHA treatment for NSL, pictures of treated subjects were collected before and 3 months after treatment and graded according to the NSL scale, and T-student's test was applied to estimate differences. Hy-CaHA for the neck was effective according to the previously unreported NSL scale (p < 0.001) and safe. There were no major adverse events reported. This study supports the efficacy (according to the NSL scale) and safety of hy-CaHA (1:2) for NSL. Our results also highlight the utility of the newly developed NSL scale, being a useful tool to evaluate the level of NSL before treatment and to measure the outcome.

The Internet of Things (IoTs) has revolutionized cities, enabling them to become smarter. IoTs play an important role in monitoring the traffic cameras, roads, smart farming, connected vehicles, air quality, water level, humidity, and carbon dioxide pollution levels in city buildings. One of the major challenges of smart cities is the cyber threat to sensitive data.

Network is an essential tool today, and the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can ensure the safe operation. However, with the explosive growth of data, current methods are increasingly struggling as they often detect based on a single scale, leading to the oversight of potential features in the extensive traffic data, which may result in degraded performance. In this work, we propose a novel detection model utilizing multi-scale transformer namely IDS-MTran.

Nurses play a critical role in caring for elderly patients; however, the emphasis on aging care in undergraduate programs may be insufficient. The present study aims at identifying the relevance given to theoretical and/or practical gerontological and geriatric contents in undergraduate study plans in Portugal and Spain. Presenting a two-part investigation, an integrative review approach examines nursing education on a global scale and a comparative analysis, using Bereday's comparative method, to assess the nursing curricula between Portugal and Spain.

One of the critical technologies to ensure cyberspace security is network traffic anomaly detection, which detects malicious attacks by analyzing and identifying network traffic behavior. The rapid development of the network has led to explosive growth in network traffic, which seriously impacts the user's information security. Researchers have delved into intrusion detection as an active defense technology to address this challenge.

Introduction: The non-intoxicating plant-derived cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD), has demonstrated therapeutic potential in a number of clinical conditions. Most successful clinical trials have used relatively high (≥300 mg) oral doses of CBD. Relatively few studies have investigated the efficacy of lower (<300 mg) oral doses, typical of those available in over-the-counter CBD products.
