Podiatry for preventing falls in older people in the community

OBJECTIVES: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits and harms of podiatry interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community.

Ultrafast switching of optical properties in a doped semiconductor by intense femtosecond laser pulses

The rapid switching of materials when excited by ultrashort pulses of light is central for many optical technologies, and in particular to the developing field of time-varying metamaterials. These out-of-equilibrium interactions are difficult to capture with traditional theoretic...

Techno-Economic Assessment of PEM Electrolyzer Coupled with High-Concentration Photovoltaics in Saudi Arabia

Green hydrogen (H2) production is a pivotal element of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. This study presents a comprehensive feasibility assessment of a high-efficiency H2 production system integrating a photovoltaic (PV) array and a high-concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) system with a...

Reduced Complexity Model Intercomparison Project phase 3: experimental protocol for coordinated constraining and evaluation of reduced-complexity models

Abstract. Reduced-Complexity Models (RCMs) are a critical tool for synthesising climate science knowledge and providing climate projections for a wide range of emissions scenarios. The Reduced-Complexity Model Intercomparison Project (RCMIP) provides a framework for the coordinat...

Shielding against interpersonal threat in later life: The regulatory function of nostalgia among older adults.

= 189, age 21-78 years), older adults reported greater nostalgic engagement in response to social exclusion induced by the Cyberball game than younger adults. Furthermore, after experiencing nostalgia, compared to younger adults, older adults reported increased social engagement...

Clinical efficacy to climate accountability

There is increasing global recognition of the importance of sustainability in the design and delivery of healthcare, including trauma and orthopaedics. There has, however, to date been little focus on providing high-quality research which includes environmental outcomes to guide...

Sensory data-driven classification of complex regional pain syndrome: a multicentre cohort study

BACKGROUND: The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) have been under debate in recent years. Previous studies identified mechanistic CRPS subtypes, which were characterised as 'cold' and 'warm' or peripheral and central phenotypes. Our...

Copper as a central element critical to interkingdom interactions within a polymicrobial wound environment

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a global health concern, estimated to cause over one million deaths each year. To colonise and survive in humans, S. aureus must overcome the host immune system and compete with other native and invading microorganisms. As a frequent coloniser of...
