Enhance the Rapid Response System (RRS) in a free-standing acute rehabilitation hospital (ARH) by improving announcements, crash cart standardization and role assignments. Pre-intervention (PreIQ) and post-intervention questionnaires (PostIQ), conducted in English and utilizing a Likert scale, were distributed in-person to clinical staff, yielding a 100% response rate. The questionnaire underwent no prior testing. The PreIQ were disseminated in February 2021, and PostIQ in December 2022. PostIQ illustrated the improvement of audibility and improved the clarity of roles. The training positively impacted the RRS in the ARH. This study highlights the value of continuous RRS improvement in ARHs. Interventions led to notable enhancements, emphasizing the need for sustained efforts and future research on broader implementation.

The plastivore insect Tenebrio molitor demonstrates significant potential for the rapid biodegradation and bioremediation of micro(nano)plastics. However, real-time visualization of the digestive degradation and removal of microplastics (MPs) during intestinal transit, along with the associated in vivo intestinal functional responses, remains challenging. Here, we developed second near-infrared (NIR-II) window aggregated-induced emission (AIE) MPs of two sizes (29.

This study assesses gender inequality in education and employment in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries between the 2000 and 2021, using data from the World Bank database. A descriptive data analysis was carried out as well as graphical representations to compare among countries. The results showed that that female education achieved significant success, especially at secondary and tertiary levels, through specific policies including financial support and affirmative actions.

Introduction: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are prevalent in healthcare institutions worldwide. Repeated activations are associated with increased morbidity and higher resource utilisation, and represent a heterogeneous population that may benefit from early identification. To date, there are no published data on repeat RRT activations in Singapore.

In the face of advancements in microrobotics, intelligent control and precision medicine, artificial muscle actuation systems must meet demands for precise control, high stability, environmental adaptability and high integration miniaturization. Carbon materials, being lightweight, strong and highly conductive and flexible, show great potential for artificial muscles. Inspired by the butterfly's proboscis, we have developed a carbon-based artificial muscle, hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne muscle (HsGDY-M), fabricated efficiently using an emerging hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) film with an asymmetrical surface structure.
