A short discussion on the structure of H2TiO3 presented in the article entitled Lithium recovery from salt lake brine by H2TiO3 (R. Chitrakar, Y. Makita, K. Ooi and A. Sonoda, Dalton Trans., 2014, 43, 8933) is presented. In our opinion, it is not correct to identify the phase of H2TiO3 as monoclinic. The XRD pattern of H2TiO3 differs substantially from that of Li2TiO3. XRD pattern simulation shows that the peak (1[combining macron]33) and the peak (2[combining macron]06) cannot be fully collapsed or substantially decrease in intensity by substitution of Li(+) with H(+) if H2TiO3 shares a similar space group and lattice parameters with Li2TiO3. A direct verification of a similar structure by N. V. Tarakina and co-workers may aid the confirmation of the structure. The layered double hydroxide type with the 3R1 sequence of oxygen layers is more reasonable for H2TiO3 and can be described as a stacking of charge-neutral metal oxyhydroxide slabs [(OH)2OTi2O(OH)2].

Background: Existing research fails to address the complex nature of nonspecific chronic lower back pain (cLBP ) despite its detrimental effect on economic, societal, and medical expenditures.
Objectives: We developed a nurse-led, mobile-delivered self-management intervention-Problem-Solving Pain to Enhance Living Well (PROPEL-M)-and evaluated its usability, feasibility, and initial efficacy for South Korean adults with nonspecific cLBP.
Methods: This study was composed of two phases: (a) lab and field usability testing for a gamified mobile device application; and (b) a pilot study employing a one-arm pre-test and post-test design among adults aged 18-60 years with nonspecific cLBP.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of repeated exposure to sevoflurane as an anesthetic agent during various developmental stages, namely neonatal, preadolescent, and adult, on behavioral, synaptic, and neuronal plasticity in male and female Wistar rats.
Methods: Rats were exposed to sevoflurane during three developmental stages: neonatal (PN7), pre-adolescence (PN28), and adulthood (PN90). Behavioral performance was evaluated with the Morris Water Maze.

Introduction: Flow-diverting (FD) stents are increasingly used to treat small, unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA), but high-quality, unbiased data on initial complications and clinical outcomes were limited in previous literature reviews. We updated the literature review to assess quality, potential bias, complications and short-term outcomes in studies on FD-stents for UIAs.
Patients And Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library until January 9, 2025 for studies on FD-stents for UIAs.

Measurement appropriateness concerns the question of whether the test or survey scale under consideration can provide a valid measure for a specific individual. An aberrant item response pattern would provide internal counterevidence against using the test/scale for this person, whereas a more typical item response pattern would imply a fit of the measure to the person. Traditional approaches, including the popular Lz person fit statistic, are hampered by their two-stage estimation procedure and the fact that the fit for the person is determined based on the model calibrated on data that include the misfitting persons.

Adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption, and malnutrition often require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN), typically as total PN (TPN). These patients are susceptible to bloodstream infections and sepsis. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who developed SBS following an acute mesenteric event.
