Insights into the molecular self-assembly of urea-functionalized acetylenes.

This study investigates simple acetylenes substituted with phenylurea as a constant H-bonding unit (Alk-R) and varied hydrophobic units (R = H, Phenyl (Ph), Phenylacetylene (PA), Ph-NMe2) to understand self-assembly properties driven by synergistic non-covalent interactions. Our observations reveal hierarchical self-assembled fibrillar networks with luminescent needles, fibers, and flowers on nano- to micro-meter scales. Subtle changes in substituents led to significant differences: H, Ph, PA, and Ph-NMe2 produced needle-like crystals, dendritic nanofibers, microflakes, and no self-assembly, respectively.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality. High health care costs and the burden of HF have led to the emerging application of new technologies to support people living with HF to stay well while living in the community.

School of Arts and Media, Wuhan College, Wuhan, China.
Background: The global aging population and rapid development of digital technology have made health management among older adults an urgent public health issue. The complexity of online health information often leads to psychological challenges, such as cyberchondria, exacerbating health information avoidance behaviors. These behaviors hinder effective health management; yet, little research examines their mechanisms or intervention strategies.

: This study evaluated changes in selected spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters and balance in girls with Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with and without the Chêneau brace. : 15 subjects with scoliosis wearing the Chêneau brace and an equal comparative control group underwent objective gait analysis with the 3D BTS motion caption system. Balance assessment was done with the Kistler platform.

San Diego State University, School of Public Health, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Targeting cardiovascular fitness (CVF), rather than weight loss, may be a more acceptable and feasible outcome among Latinos.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of (AFL), a fitness- and lifestyle-focused behavioral intervention to improve CVF and performance among Latino families.
Methods: Latino parent-child dyads (n = 137) were randomized to either AFL program or a waitlist control condition.
