In this work, a supertough, self-healable, and extreme-environment-tolerable liquid metal (LM) composite organohydrogel was fabricated by dispersing LM particles (LMPs) with water-soluble starch (WS) and leveraging multilevel hydrogen-bonding interactions. Attributed to the cooperation of the strong dual-hydrogen bonds and weak monohydrogen bonds, the organohydrogel obtained an outstanding tensile strength of 2.0 ± 0.

Background: Conventional care models for older adults often disregard negative effects of hospitalization and neglect potential benefits of technology. This trial aims to investigate effects of Multicomponent Exercise Program with Virtual Reality (MEP-VR) on functional and cognitive outcomes in hospitalized older adults, compared to MEP-only or usual care approaches.
Methods: This three-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial will include 255 participants aged 75 or older, with a Barthel Index score of at least 60, able to walk and cooperate, have an estimated hospital stay of at least four days, and provide informed consent.

Background And Objective: Airway clearance is essential for maintaining patency in critically ill patients and relies on the mucociliary escalator, expiratory flow, and cough strength. A weak cough significantly increases the risk of therapy failure in patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). This review aims to summarize current practices for assessing and exercising cough strength in critically ill patients.

A lone pair-π interaction was employed to alter the reactivity of three isochalcogenourea catalysts in a model silylation reaction. Even though a lone pair-π interaction is a relatively weak interaction, working cooperatively with a bond-forming step allowed the interaction to alter the reactivity of the catalyst over the inherent nucleophilicity in an alcohol silylation reaction.

Background: Gastrointestinal surgery is crucial for many medical conditions but can lead to difficult recoveries. Chewing gum is proposed as a remedy, yet existing reviews offer conflicting results. This umbrella review aims to synthesize the effectiveness of chewing gum on time to first flatus, time to first bowel movement, length of stay and complication rates in adult patients.
