The Authors report their experience related to clinical follow-up (F.U.) study of a 12 patients group who showed a prolonged sinus node recovery time (SNRT) as the only pathologic datum. F.U. study appears extremely useful for clinical arrangement of these patients. In 6 patients a gastric ulcer was associated, which is considered a morbid equivalent of vagotonia. Therefore SNRT could be a false positive. In 3 patients following controls allow to document an initial ischemic cardiopathy. Tachicardic phase of S.S.S. was documented in 3 patients.

The degree of sulfonation (DS) is a key property of sulfonated polymers, as it significantly influences their swelling behaviour, conductivity and mechanical properties. Accurately determining the DS is essential for optimizing these materials for various applications. In this work, the DS of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was evaluated using a combination of analytical techniques, including titration, back titration, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Ultra-Violet (UV) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) spectroscopies, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis.

This study aims to investigate central sensitization (CS) as an independent risk factor for POCD to improve preoperative screening and postoperative interventions.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 142 TKA patients from January 2020 to May 2024 across three hospitals.

Adolescents who have sustained a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are prone to repeat injuries which may be related to subtle motor deficits persisting after clinical recovery. Cross-sectional research has found that these deficits are associated with altered functional connectivity among somatomotor, dorsal attention, and default mode networks. However, our understanding of how these brain-behavior relationships change over time after clinical recovery is limited.

Exercise to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a novel approach that has only become recognized in the past decade. High-intensity gait training (HIGT) has been studied in subjects following stroke; however, little research investigates similar protocols on patients with TBI. The study evaluated HIGT as an intervention for enhancing patient recovery after TBI.

Acetone is harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, research on acetone sensors for its high-efficiency detection is necessary. Herein, an α-FeO-TiO-MXene heterojunction was synthesized using a simple precipitation method, and its sensitivity towards acetone was systematically investigated.
