    Abstract Background: Frailty correlates with poor clinical outcomes and is not routinely assessed in neurorehabilitation inpatient settings.
    Methods: We recruited adults from two neurorehabilitation units. We administered six validated tools for assessing frailty and collected data around length of stay, discharge, readmission and change in rehabilitation outcome measures.
    Results: Seventy-eight participants aged between 31 and 84 years were recruited with a range of neurological diagnoses. Frailty prevalence ranged between 23% and 46%, depending on the scale used, with little agreement between tools. Frailty status did not correlate with age, gender, length of stay, discharge destination and rehabilitation outcome measures. One-year readmission was higher in participants rated as frail by the Frail-Non-Disabled Questionnaire, the FRESH-screening questionnaire and the Clinical Frailty Scale.
    Discussion: Frailty ascertainment was variable depending on the tool used. Three frailty indices predicted readmission rate at 1 year but no other outcome measures. Therefore, frailty tools may have limited utility in this clinical population.

    Abstract Background: Few studies have evaluated preoperative depression screenings in patients who have depression. We studied whether depression screenings before total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were associated with lower: 1) medical complications; 2) emergency department (ED) utilizations and readmissions; 3) implant complications; and 4) costs.
    Methods: A nationwide sample from January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2021, was collected using an insurance database. Depression patients were 1:1 propensity-score matched based on those who had (n = 29,009) and did not have (n = 29,009) preoperative depression screenings or psychotherapy visits within 3 months of TKA. A case-matched population who did not have depression was compared (n = 144,994). A 90-day period was used to compare complications and health-care utilization and 2-year follow-up for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and implant survivorship. Costs were 90-day reimbursements. Logistic regression models computed odds ratios (ORs) of depression screening on dependent variables. P values less than .001 were significant.
    Results: Patients who did not receive preoperative screening were associated with higher medical complications (18.7 versus 5.2%, OR: 4.15, P < .0001) and ED utilizations (11.5 versus 3.2%, OR: 3.93, P < .0001) than depressed patients who received screening. Patients who had screening had lower medical complications (5.2 versus 5.9%, OR: 0.88, P < .0001) and ED utilizations compared to patients who did not have depression (3.2 versus 3.8%, OR: 0.87, P = .0001). Two-year PJI incidences (3.0 versus 1.3%, OR: 2.63, P < .0001) and TKA revisions (4.3 versus 2.1%, OR: 2.46, P < .0001) were greater in depression patients who were not screened preoperatively versus screened patients. Depression patients who had screening had lower PJIs (1.3 versus 1.8%, OR: 0.74, P < .0001) compared to nondepressed patients. Reimbursements ($13,949 versus $11,982; P < .0001) were higher in depression patients who did not have screening.
    Conclusions: Preoperative screening was associated with improved outcomes in depression patients.

    Abstract Pain and frailty are closely linked. Chronic pain is a risk factor for frailty, and frailty is a risk factor for pain. People living with frailty also commonly have cognitive impairment, which can make assessment of pain and monitoring of pain management even more difficult. Pain may be sub-optimally treated in people living with frailty, people living with cognitive impairment and those with both these factors. Reasons for sub-optimal treatment in these groups are pharmacological (increased drug side effects, drug-drug interactions, polypharmacy), non-pharmacological (erroneous beliefs about pain, ageism, bidirectional communication challenges), logistical (difficulty in accessing primary care practitioners and unaffordable cost of drugs), and, particularly in cognitive impairment, related to communication difficulties. Thorough assessment and characterisation of pain, related sensations, and their functional, emotional, and behavioural consequences ("phenotyping") may help to enhance the assessment of pain, particularly in people with frailty and cognitive impairment, as this may help to identify who is most likely to respond to certain types of treatment. This paper discusses the potential role of "digital phenotyping" in the assessment and management of pain in people with frailty. Digital phenotyping is concerned with observable characteristics in digital form, such as those obtained from sensing-capable devices, and may provide novel and more informative data than existing clinical approaches regarding how pain manifests and how treatment strategies affect it. The processing of extensive digital and usual data may require powerful algorithms, but processing these data could lead to a better understanding of who is most likely to benefit from specific and targeted treatments.

    Abstract Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) is used to analyze complex samples and provide structural information on unknown compounds. As the complexity of samples increases, there is a need to improve the resolution of IMS-MS instruments to increase the rate of molecular identification. This work evaluated a cyclable and variable path length (and hence resolving power) multilevel Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) platform to achieve a higher resolving power than what was previously possible. This new multilevel SLIM platform has eight separation levels connected by ion escalators, yielding a total path length of ∼88 m (∼11 m per level). Our new multilevel SLIM can also be operated in an "ion cycling" mode by utilizing a set of return ion escalators that transport ions from the eighth level back to the first, allowing even extendable path lengths (and higher IMS resolution). The platform has been improved to enhance ion transmission and IMS separation quality by reducing the spacing between SLIM boards. The board thickness was reduced to minimize the ions' escalator residence time. Compared to the previous generation, the new multilevel SLIM demonstrated better transmission for a set of phosphazene ions, especially for the low-mobility ions. For example, the transmission of
