Background And Aim: Hospital-at-home (HaH) care is known as a healthcare delivery approach providing acute care services at home as an alternative to traditional hospital care. This study aimed to explore the dimensions and components of HaH care.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The databases including ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, the Cochrane library, the Web of Science Core Collection, and the Wiley online library were searched for articles on HaH care dimensions and components of from early 2000 to February 19, 2024. The inclusion criteria of the study included articles published in the English language, and and those pertaining to various dimensions and components of HaH care. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist and data were analysed using the framework analysis method.
Results: A total of 4078 articles were retrieved. After screening and quality assessment, 179 articles were included in the review, identifying 88 dimensions and components of HaH care across seven main categories: benefits, challenges and obstacles, facilitators, management-related factors, medical conditions, factors associated with patients and their families, and factors associated with caregivers. The common components included cost savings (n = 30), patient and family satisfaction (n = 23), reduction in re-admissions (n = 13), medication management (n = 12), communication, coordination, and cooperation among healthcare teams, patients, and families (n = 12), preferences of patients and families (n = 12), and education of patients, families, and healthcare teams (n = 10).
Conclusion: Based on the results, HaH includes many and diverse dimensions and components. So, healthcare policymakers and planners are urged to consider the dimensions and components of HaH care including benefits, challenges and obstacles, facilitators, management-related factors, medical conditions, factors associated with patients and their families, and factors associated with caregivers when developing models and programs to ensure effective outcomes following implementation.

Background: Dementia represents a significant health challenge, with evidence suggesting that it can be potentially delayed or prevented through non-pharmacological interventions. There are different types of non-pharmacological interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The Aging Well through Interaction and Scientific Education (AgeWISE) Program is a notable cognitive intervention designed to educate both individuals experiencing normal aging and those with age-related diseases.

Background: Although epigenomic and environment interactions (Epigenome × Environment; Epi × E) might constitute a novel mechanism underlying reward processing direct evidence is still scarce. We conducted the first longitudinal study to investigate the extent to which DNA methylation of a stress-related gene-NR3C1-interacts with childhood maltreatment in association with young adult reward responsiveness (RR) and the downstream risk of depressive (anhedonia dimension in particular) and anxiety symptoms.

A study is presented of a method for creating an acoustic flow sensor that is generally compatible with current silicon microfabrication processes. An aim of this effort is to obtain a design consisting of a minimal departure from the existing designs employed in mass-produced silicon microphones. Because the primary component in all of these microphones is the cavity behind the pressure-sensing diaphragm, we begin with a study of the acoustic particle velocity within a cavity in a planar surface.

In cognitive science, the sensation of "groove" has been defined as the pleasurable urge to move to music. When listeners rate rhythmic stimuli on derived pleasure and urge to move, ratings on these dimensions are highly correlated. However, recent behavioural and brain imaging work has shown that these two components may be separable.

Background And Aims: Quantifying niche similarity among closely related species offers myriad insights into evolutionary history and ecology. In this study, our aim was to explore the interplay of geographic and niche space for rare, endemic plant species and determine if endemic habitats were environmentally similar or unique.
Methods: We characterized the niche of all Leavenworthia species, a genus of rare plants endemic to rocky glades in the eastern United States, using WorldClim data, surface geology, elevation, and slope.
