Nutrition for Healing Acute and Chronic Wounds: Current Practice, Recent Research Findings, and Insights for Improving CareAbstract Wound prevalence is increasing as the global population ages. Older adults are at risk of wounds from falling and from other medical conditions that contribute to wound development and slowed healing (e.g., diabetes, cancer, chronic infections); they often experience health conditions that necessitate surgery and therefore post-surgical healing. Poor [...] |
Conference Report: Leveraging the Global Malnutrition Composite Score for Quality Improvement, Health Equity, and Better Patient OutcomesAbstract Effective January 2024, the United States Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for the first time has included a nutrition-focused quality measure in the Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program: the Global Malnutrition Composite Score (GMCS).

Abstract Gliomas are the most common brain tumor in adults, with a poor prognosis despite intensive treatments. Complete surgical resection is difficult due to its infiltrative growth, but aggressive surgery improves outcomes. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is used to distinguish tumor tissue during surgery. 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) is a crucial fluoresc [...] |

Are Children in Foster Care Settings More Likely to Display Challenging Behavior on Specific Days of the Week?Abstract Previous studies have shown that the use of a three-color (red, yellow, and green) rating system of child behaviors by caregivers can help facilitate deprescribing of psychotropic medications in foster youth. Using a similar three-color rating system within a state-funded project, we assessed whether there was a day of the week when 48 foster youth [...] |
Molecular Marker Applications in the Selection of Elite Genotypes for Plant Stress Tolerance and Genetic FidelityAbstract Molecular markers play a crucial role in accelerating crop production for sustainable agriculture by identifying resistant traits and enhancing genetic diversity. In this review, we examine the impact of the molecular markers on advancing our understanding of stress tolerance mechanisms in plants, addressing the pressing imperative to bolster global [...] |

Abstract 6q22.31q27 duplication and Xq28 deletion lead to two specific different rare chromosomal disorders. Partial trisomy 6q22.31q27 is a recognizable syndrome with a distinctive phenotype, and the most common finding in girls with Xqter deletions has been premature ovarian failure (POF) and secondary amenorrhea. To our knowledge, neither abnormality in one [...] |
Current and Future Applications of Machine Perfusion and Other Dynamic Preservation Strategies in Liver TransplantationAbstract Machine perfusion (MP) techniques, which simulate physiological conditions to allow for the assessment and preservation of organ viability, are currently applied in various solid organ transplantation fields. Owing to the growing demand for liver transplants and the scarcity of available donor livers, MP offers a practical solution for recovering high [...] |

The Origin of Social Skills: Manipulating Shared Intentionality in Bioengineering Systems for Empathy Trainingby
Igor Val Danilov
and
Sandra Mihailova
Abstract This pilot study (N = 28) aims to develop universal computer-aided empathy training. The experiment tests a research design of manipulating behavior in subjects toward non-affective cues in a bioengineering system. The study implements the Mother-Fetus Neurocognitive Model to involve subjects in subliminal cognitive collaboration with confederates, [...] |
Exploring Older Adults' Perceptions of Stair Hazards and an m-health Fall Prevention App: A Focus Group StudyAbstract Older adults are disproportionately susceptible to hospitalizations and fatalities due to stair-related falls. While many intrinsic risk factors, such as mobility and vision, may increase the likelihood of falls on stairs, features of the stairs that increase the risk of falls are understudied. This study aimed to capture older adults’ perspectives [...] |
Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System for Generating Energy to Dairy Farm ActivitiesAbstract Minas Gerais is the leading milk-producing state in Brazil, and many dairy activities are supplied with electricity by the cable aerial network of the electrical energy state company.
