Sixteen sifakas (11 Propithecus verreauxi coquereli, 2 Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi form majori, and 3 Propithecus tattersalli) were videotaped as they fed on leaves in an arboreal context. The hand used to feed and the hand used to maintain postural stability was coded. For each subject, the lateral bias of the hand used to feed was opposite the hand used in postural support. Seven sifakas displayed no bias for feeding or posture-related hand use, 7 sifakas displayed significant feeding-related reach preferences for pulling branches to the mouth (5 left- and 2 right-hand preferences), and 9 sifakas exhibited significant hand preferences for postural support (2 left-, 7 right-hand preferent). Although these data do not strongly support the postural origins theory of behavioral lateralization, the modal preference pattern for sifakas that displayed significant hand preferences for posture and feeding involve a left bias for feeding and a right bias for postural support. s reserved).

As a life-limiting illness, dementia requires a holistic approach to care, where spiritual support plays a crucial role in helping individuals and their caregivers find meaning and solace. Our aim was to systematically map the research conducted on psychosocial interventions developed to provide spiritual support for people living with dementia and their caregivers from diagnosis and across the disease trajectory. A scoping review was conducted to explore the breadth of research on 'spiritual support' in dementia care, encompassing interventions, service delivery models, programs, toolkits, approaches, and activities.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an emerging surface antimicrobial technology characterized by prominent efficiency but the performance in the decontamination of granular foods is yet to be improved. Using S. Enteritidis as a model bacterium, this article attempted to resolve the confusion on bactericidal mechanism of IPL treatment on spice products.

Over the last decade, there has been an increased focus on incorporating palliative care principles into the practice of neurocritical care and emergency medicine (EM). In this article, we describe three different roles that EM clinicians can fill as they initiate the provision of primary neuropalliative care to neurocritically ill patients: the stage setter, the spokesperson, and the screener. As the stage setter, EM clinicians start to build trust with the family by "breaking bad news"; encouraging them to consider the patient's values, preferences, functional baseline, and directives; and providing support to the family during this emotional time as they hand them over to the admitting team who will continue this conversation.

Method: A prospective non-randomized study was conducted with 29 subjects practicing TC and 27 subjects as controls according to their preference. The seated TC group underwent 3 months of training with a total of 24 sessions (1hour/session, 2 sessions/week).

Purpose: Sternoclavicular (SC) joint injuries are uncommon, limiting comprehensive insights into their clinical management. This study analyzes long-term outcomes, preferred diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and variations in treatment approaches and subsequent results.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on traumatic SC joint injuries treated at a Level-1 Trauma Center between January 2004 and October 2016.
