It has been presented a new technique for measuring thyroxine based on the method first proposed by Murphy & Pattee 1964. This method was compared to Braverman et al. 1971 technique and to Seligson & Seligson's 1971 one. The advantage of the suggested technique consists in making only one radioactivity measuring in the Sephadex column itself, which avoids the risk of contamination and increase of costs. Therefore, it saves time and permits the automatization of the method by the use of an automatic gamma counter for 200 or 300 tubes.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspectives of healthcare professionals on the utility of sick day management plans for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in remote communities and collaboratively design a sick day management plan resource.
Design: This qualitative study utilised two phases of data collection: preliminary observational data and semi-structured interviews. The research design and analysis were guided by the normalisation process theory (NPT) framework, tailored for complex interventions in healthcare.

Polymer material (PM) is a novel vertical barrier material, demonstrated to be effective in impeding pollutants. However, the associated transport research is limited. This study aims to develop an analytical solution for two-dimensional transport of organic contaminant in the PM-enhanced composite cutoff wall (CCW) system, where the variable substitution and Fourier transform methods are used.

Objective: The aim of this work was to study the differences at the whole-brain level between self-paced and cued movement processing in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: High density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) was recorded during the performance of self-paced movements (Bereitschaftspotential - BP) and visually cued movements (VMT) in PD patients (n = 38) and in a group of healthy controls (HC, n = 23). Oscillatory changes in the alpha, beta, and gamma frequencies were evaluated and correlated to the clinical scales- MDS-UPDRS and Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOGQ).
