Article Abstract

Advances in technology have made continuous/remote monitoring of digital health data possible, which can enable the early detection and treatment of age-related cognitive and health declines. Using Arksey and O'Malley's methodology, this scoping review evaluated potential barriers to the collection of mobile and wearable device data to monitor health and cognitive status in older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Selected articles were US based and focused on experienced or perceived barriers to the collection of mobile and wearable device data by adults 55 years of age or older. Fourteen articles met the study's inclusion criteria. Identified themes included barriers related to usability, users' prior experiences with health technologies, first and second level digital divide, aesthetics, comfort, adherence, and attitudinal barriers. Addressing these barriers will be crucial for effective digital data-collection among older adults to achieve goals of improving quality of life and reducing care costs.

Computer vision has been identified as one of the solutions to bridge communication barriers between speech-impaired populations and those without impairment as most people are unaware of the sign language used by speech-impaired individuals. Numerous studies have been conducted to address this challenge. However, recognizing word signs, which are usually dynamic and involve more than one frame per sign, remains a challenge.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly infectious disease of paramount public health importance. COVID-19 is mainly transmitted via human-to-human contact. This could be through self-inoculation resulting from failure to observe proper hand hygiene and infection control practices.

Atomic resolution scanning probe microscopy, and in particular scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) allows for high-spatial-resolution imaging and also spectroscopic analysis of small organic molecules. However, preparation and characterisation of the probe apex in situ by a human operator is one of the major barriers to high-throughput experimentation and to reproducibility between experiments. Characterisation of the probe apex is usually accomplished via assessment of the imaging quality on the target molecule and also the characteristics of the scanning tunnelling spectra (STS) on clean metal surfaces.

Purpose: Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a significant cause of death in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this type of graft, the intestine is particularly affected, with the loss of intestinal barrier integrity playing a key role in its onset. In this scenario, the aim of the present research was to evaluate defibrotide, a heparin-like compound, marked for severe veno-occlusive disease, as an innovative therapeutic approach for restoring intestinal barrier integrity using an in vitro model and analyzing aGVHD patients' sera and clinical data.

Purpose: This study investigates how older foreign-born adults in Sweden experience and navigate social connectedness as a determinant of wellbeing.

Methods: Employing Glaser's grounded theory methodology, we collected qualitative data through individual ( = 1) and focus group ( = 5) interviews with 23 participants aged 60 + representing four distinct cultural-linguistic groups: Arabic, Finnish, Spanish, and Chinese speakers.

Results: The analysis identified "" as the core category, encompassing three dimensions: (1) , (2) , and (3) .
