Evaluating a Hearing Loop Implementation for Live Orchestral Music.
Ear Hear
January 2025
McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Objectives: Live music creates a sense of connectedness in older adults, which can help alleviate the social isolation frequently associated with hearing loss and aging. However, most hearing-aid (HA) users are dissatisfied with the sound quality of live music and rate sound quality as important to them. Assistive listening systems are frequently independent of a user's HAs and fall short in tailoring to each individual's hearing loss.

Corn stover was used as raw material, and purification, oxalic acid treatment, oxidation treatment, and ultrasonic treatment were performed to realize the preparation of corn stover nanocellulose with low energy consumption. The effects of oxalic acid concentration (1 wt%, 2 wt%, 3 wt%, 4 wt%, and 5 wt%) on the purity, morphology, crystalline structure and oxidation efficiency of corn stover cellulose during oxalic acid treatment were investigated. The controllable preparation of corn stover nanocellulose was achieved by changing the parameter conditions of ultrasonic treatment.

This case report presents an 86-year-old female patient who developed a urinary tract injury and infection following a pelvic fracture caused by a bedside fall during hospitalization for pneumonia. The patient experienced fever with chills and rigors, prompting antibiotic treatment. Imaging revealed an ischial tuberosity fracture with potential bone fragment retention in the bladder wall.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Office of Science and Engineering Labs, Division of Imaging, Diagnostics, and Software Reliability, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States.
Purpose: We evaluate the impact of charge summing correction on a cadmium telluride (CdTe)-based photon-counting detector in breast computed tomography (CT).
Approach: We employ a custom-built laboratory benchtop system using the X-THOR FX30 0.75-mm CdTe detector (Varex Imaging, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States) with a pixel pitch of 0.
Effects of Short-Term Low Energy Availability on Metabolism and Performance-Related Parameters in Physically Active Adults.
Nutrients
January 2025
Department of Sports Medicine and Sports Nutrition, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany.
Background/objectives: Low energy availability (LEA) can cause impaired reproductive function, bone health issues, and suppressed immune function, and may result in decreased performance and overall health status. The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptions of body composition, blood status, resting metabolic rate, and endurance performance to gain more comprehensive insights into the symptoms of LEA and the adaptive effects in the athlete population (active women (n = 11) and men (n = 11)).
Methods: Three treatments were defined as 45 (EA45, control), 30 (EA30), and 10 (EA10) kcal/kg FFM/day and randomly assigned.
