Background: Telerehabilitation has been proposed as an effective strategy to deliver post-stroke specific exercise.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of core stability exercises guided by a telerehabilitation App after hospital discharge.
Methods: Extension of a prospective controlled trial. Subacute stage stroke survivors were included at the time of hospital discharge where they had participated in a previous 5-week randomized controlled trial comparing conventional physiotherapy versus core stability exercises. After discharge, patients from the experimental group were offered access to telerehabilitation to perform core stability exercises at home (AppG), while those from the control group were subject to usual care (CG). The Spanish-version of the Trunk Impairment Scale 2.0 (S-TIS 2.0), Function in Sitting Test (S-FIST), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Spanish-version of Postural Assessment for Stroke Patients (S-PASS), the number of falls, Brunel Balance Assessment (BBA) and Gait were assessed before and after 3 months intervention.
Results: A total of 49 subjects were recruited. AppG showed greater improvement in balance in both sitting and standing position and gait compared with CG, although no statistically significant differences were obtained.
Conclusion: Core stability exercises Telerehabilitation as a home-based guide appears to improve balance in post-stroke stage. Future studies are necessary to confirm the effects as well as identifying strategies to increase telerehabilitation adherence.

MXenes, have been considered as a new generation anode material in lithium-ion batteries for lower lithium-ion diffusion barriers and superior conductivity. Unfortunately, their structures are prone to aggregation and stacking, hindering further shuttle of lithium ions and electrons, resulting in lower discharge capacity. Therefore, the introduction of interlayer spacers for the preparation of MXene-based hybrids has attracted much attention.

This study provides a comprehensive investigation of antimicrobial additives (ZnO/AgNPs and SiO/AgNPs) on the properties of biodegradable ternary blends composed of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) by examining the morphology, thermal stability, crystallinity index, and cell viability of these blends. Overall, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that AgNPs and SiO exhibited comparable sizes, whereas ZnO was significantly larger, which influences their release profiles and interactions with the blends. The addition of antimicrobials influences the rheology of the blends, acting as compatibilizers by reducing the intermolecular forces between biopolymers.

The optimized composition and precisely tailored structure configuration play critical roles in enhancing the catalytic reaction kinetics. Here we report a distinctive core@satellite strategy for designing the advanced platinum-nickel@platinum-nickel-copper-cobalt-indium high-entropy alloy nanowires (PtNi@HEA NWs) as efficient bifunctional catalysts in the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Impressively, the PtNi@HEA NWs/C shows 19.

Background: Most previous studies have focused on the clinical efficacy after intervention of ESDM, particularly in core symptoms. However, only a few have paid attention to the effectiveness of ESDM on emotional dysregulation and behavior problems in children with ASD. This study aimed to explore the effect of the ESDM on addressing emotional dysregulation and behavior problems in children with ASD in China, as well as its correlation with core symptoms of ASD.

Significant progress has been made through the optimization of modelling and device architecture solar cells has proven to be a valuable and highly effective approach for gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying physical processes in solar cells. Consequently, this research has conducted a two-dimensional (2D) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) simulation to develop an accurate model. The approach utilized in this study is based on the finite element method (FEM).
