Interventions should equip mothers to provide opportunities for infant play as early as possible. Evaluating such interventions is necessary to understand the feasibility […]
A novel dual-ligand luminescent Eu-based metal-organic framework for ratiometric fluorescence sensing and visual detection of tetracycline
Mikrochim Acta. 2025 Sep 4;192(10):634. doi: 10.1007/s00604-025-07401-9. ABSTRACT Tetracycline (TC) residues in animal-derived food pose a significant threat to human health, necessitating the development of straightforward and user-friendly methods for TC detection to safeguard food safety. Here, a series of novel Eu-based metal-organic frameworks (Eu-MOFs) were prepared using a dual-ligand strategy. In the midst of […]
Longitudinal Research: Differences in Nurse Work Environment Between the COVID-19 Outbreak and Mitigation Periods
Nurs Open. 2025 Sep;12(9):e70294. doi: 10.1002/nop2.70294.

Association of Food Desert Residence with Stroke and Hospitalization Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. The expected rate is more than 12 million Americans by 2030. AF elevates the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and decreased quality of life. Modifiable risk factors like sedentary lifestyle, inflammation, obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with food availability. Social determinants, […]
