Why are women dying when they reach hospital on time? A systematic review of the 'third delay'. by Hannah E Knight, Alice Self, Stephen H Kennedy

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>This review highlights how a focus on patient-side delays in the decision to seek care can conceal the fact that many health facilities in the developing world are still chronically under-resourced and unable to cope effectively with serious obstetric complications. We stress the importance of addressing supply-side barriers alongside demand-side factors if further reductions in maternal mortality are to be achieved.…”

Comparing the biopsychosocial impact of group singing and yoga activities in older adults living with Parkinson’s disease by Arla Good, Alexander Pachete, Sean Gilmore, Frank A. Russo

“…Abstract Research on group singing has demonstrated numerous benefits to wellbeing including boosts in mood, increases in social bonding, and reductions in stress. These benefits can be achieved by individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD), a group that is especially at risk for social isolation given the typical decline in mobility and communication that accompanies neuromotor degeneration. …”

Study on the stiffness and damping properties of magnetorheological elastomers subjected to biaxial loads and a magnetic field by J. Luis Gomez-Color, Luis M. Palacios-Pineda, Imperio A. Perales-Martínez, Oscar Martínez-Romero, Daniel Olvera-Trejo, Claudia A. Ramírez-Herrera, Karina Del Ángel Sánchez, Alex Elías-Zúñiga

“…We discovered that micro-particle alignment in the elastomer matrix, its fractal structure, and the magnetic field modify stiffness and damping properties since the magnetic field restricts the polymer chains' reptation zone, thereby stiffening the polymer matrix and influencing its energy dissipation capacity.Furthermore, we proposed a constitutive material model to predict stress-softening and residual strains when the MRE samples are under biaxial loading-unloading cycles and magnetic field intensity with theoretical predictions that follow experimental data well. …”
