    Abstract Purpose: To describe the development and content validation of the Upper Limb-Motor Learning Strategy Tool (UL-MLST) that aims to guide clinicians on how to implement and document the motor learning strategies used in the upper limb therapy approaches for children with cerebral palsy.
    Methods: The study consists of two main stages (1) item generation and development and (2) content validation and refinement. The UL-MLST
    Results: Of sixty-two strategies included in the UL-MLST, 52 strategies were rated as being either "Moderately" or "Highly" Relevant, Coherent, and Significant. Ten strategies did not achieve mutual agreement; however, they did not meet the criteria for deletion and were revised according to expert feedback. Overall, the UL-MST was judged to be Relevant, Comprehensive, and Clinically useful.
    Conclusions: The UL-MLST provides a valid tool to support clinicians in the implementation of the motor learning strategies for children with cerebral palsy.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe Upper Limb- Motor Learning Strategy Tool (UL-MLST)

    Abstract Stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials has emerged as a facile strategy for realising exotic quantum states of matter and engineering electronic properties. Yet, developments beyond the proof-of-principle level are impeded by the vast size of the configuration space defined by layer combinations and stacking orders. Here we employ a density functional theory (DFT) workflow to calculate interlayer binding energies of 8451 homobilayers created by stacking 1052 different monolayers in various configurations. Analysis of the stacking orders in 247 experimentally known van der Waals crystals is used to validate the workflow and determine the criteria for realisable bilayers. For the 2586 most stable bilayer systems, we calculate a range of electronic, magnetic, and vibrational properties, and explore general trends and anomalies. We identify an abundance of bistable bilayers with stacking order-dependent magnetic or electrical polarisation states making them candidates for slidetronics applications.

    Abstract Background: Population aging is usually associated with increased health care needs. Developing an age-friendly health system with special features, structure, and functions to meet the special needs of older people and improving their health status and quality of life is essential. This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework for an age-friendly health system, which would offer a conceptual basis for providing the best possible care for older people in health system to let them experience a successful, healthy, and active aging.
    Methods: A scoping review was used to design the conceptual framework based on Arksey and O'Malley's model, including six stages, with the final stage of using expert's opinions to improve and validate the initial framework. The health system model of Van Olmen, was selected as the baseline model for this framework. Then, by reviewing the available evidence, the characteristics of an age-friendly health system were extracted and incorporated in the baseline mode.
    Results: Using the electronic searching, initially 12 316 documents were identified, of which 140 studies were selected and included in this review study. The relevant data were extracted from the 140 studies by two reviewers independently. Most studies were conducted in 2016-2020, and mostly were from United States (33.6%). To have an age-friendly health system, interventions and changes should be performed in functions, components and objectives of health systems. This system aims to provide evidence-based care through trained workforces and involves older people and their families in health policy-makings. Its consequences include better health acre for older people, with fewer healthcare-related harms, greater care satisfaction and increased use of cost-effective health services.
    Conclusion: To meet the needs of older people, health systems should make interventions in their functions for better performance. In line with these changes, other parts of society should work in harmony and set the health of older people as a top priority to ensure they can have a successful aging.

    Abstract Isolated congenital anomalous drainage of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and partial hepatic veins (HV) into the left atrium (LA) via an interatrial communication (IAC), associated with the normal connection of the IVC to the right atrium is exceedingly rare. Therefore, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the management of these cases. To date, there has been no report of abnormal IVC drainage caused by abnormal IVC-IAC alignment. Much more frequently, patients have an abnormal connection or abnormal drainage mediated by a persistent Eustachian valve that allows blood to pass from the inferior vena cava to the left atrium. Herein, we report an 8-year-old boy with anomalous IVC and hepatic vein drainage into the LA due to IVC-IAC malalignment. We describe the findings of multimodality imaging, including transthoracic, transesophageal, contrast, and speckle-tracking echocardiography, cardiac angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We go over the diagnostic and therapeutic pitfalls and caveats of this case that can apply to similar patients.

    Abstract Advancements in materials-driven mechanobiology have yielded significant progress. Mechanobiology explores how cellular and tissue mechanics impact development, physiology, and disease, where extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamically interacts with cells. Biomaterial-based platforms emulate synthetic ECMs, offering precise control over cellular behaviors by adjusting mechanical properties. Recent technological advances enable in vitro models replicating active mechanical stimuli in vivo. These models manipulate cellular mechanics even at a subcellular level. In this review we discuss recent material-based mechanomodulatory studies in mechanobiology. We highlight the endeavors to mimic the dynamic properties of native ECM during pathophysiological processes like cellular homeostasis, lineage specification, development, aging, and disease progression. These insights may inform the design of accurate in vitro mechanomodulatory platforms that replicate ECM mechanics.

    Abstract Leucine (Leu) is one of the essential amino acids, and has a direct effect on protein biosynthesis in broiler skeletal muscle. So supply of sufficient amounts of Leu in young broiler is of interest. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to estimate the optimal digestible Leu in ratio to lysine (Lys) of female broiler chickens from 8 to 21 d. A dose-response trial was performed, and the optimal digestible Leu was estimated applying broken-lines and quadratic regression models. A total of 540 one-wk-old female broiler chickens (Cobb-500), were randomly distributed to 6 dietary treatments (6 replicate of 15 birds in each), and fed the experimental diets from 8 to 21 d of age. Dietary digestible Leu was supplied from 0.93% up to 1.18% in 0.05% increments. Wheat-soybean meal based diet was formulated to be deficient in Leu, and dietary treatments were created by gradually replacing crystalline L-glutamic acid with crystalline L-Leu in basal diet. The live performance and carcass traits were evaluated, and excretion and retention of nitrogen was measured. The results showed that weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), carcass weight, and breast weight had a quadratically response to digestible Leu: Lys from 0.93 to 1.18. Also, none of the retention and excretion of nitrogen were affected by increasing dietary digestible Leu levels. Based on the obtained data in the current study, the optimal digestible Leu: Lys of female Cobb 500 broilers fed with wheat-based diets from 8 to 21 d of age was estimated between 0.99 and 1.12 with an average of 1.06 based on quadratic broken-line model as the concluded value.

    Abstract We numerically study the effect of the quantum spill-out (QSO) on the plasmon mode indices of an ultra-thin metallic slab, using the Fourier modal method (FMM). To improve the convergence of the FMM results, a novel nonlinear coordinate transformation is suggested and employed. Furthermore, we present a perturbative approach for incorporating the effects of QSO on the plasmon mode indices, which agrees very well with the full numerical results. The perturbative approach also provides additional physical insight, and is used to derive analytical expressions for the mode indices using a simple model for the dielectric function. The analytical expressions reproduce the results obtained from the numerically-challenging spill-out problem with much less effort and may be used for understanding the effects of QSO on other plasmonic structures.
