EFFECTIVENESS OF A TELE-REHABILITATION INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCE MORBIDITY FOR PEOPLE POST HIP FRACTURE - STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation intervention to improve performance and reduce morbidity for people post hip fracture - study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose some of their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization.Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions and disabilities have shown some success.Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to p

Phages for Biofilm Removal

Biofilms are clusters of bacteria that live in association with surfaces.Their main characteristic is that the bacteria inside the biofilms are attached to other bacterial cells and to the surface by an extracellular polymeric matrix.Biofilms are capable of adhering to a wide variety of surfaces, both click here biotic and abiotic, including human

Tuning Ferulic Acid Solubility in Choline-Chloride- and Betaine-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents: Experimental Determination and Machine Learning Modeling

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) represent a promising class of green solvents, offering particular utility in the extraction and development of new formulations of natural compounds such as ferulic acid (FA).The experimental phase of the study undertook a systematic investigation of the solubility of FA in DES, comprising choline chloride or betaine a

The strength and timing of the mitochondrial bottleneck in salmon suggests a conserved mechanism in vertebrates.

In most species mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited maternally in an apparently clonal fashion, although how this is achieved remains uncertain.Population genetic studies show not only that individuals can harbor more than one type of mtDNA (heteroplasmy) but that heteroplasmy is common and widespread across a diversity of taxa.Females harboring
