The application of silica-supported TEMPO as a recyclable catalyst in the Anelli oxidation alcohols is reported. easily obtained one-step reductive amination procedure starting from commercially available aminopropyl-functionalized silica. Details synthesis supported and its analysis by MAS NMR are presented. Various alcohol oxidations according to protocol have been carried out stability applied has studied.
Abstract Purpose In response to the growing recognition of geriatric rehabilitation and support healthcare providers which need strategies older people with frailty who have experienced functional decline, we developed a consensus statement about core principles future priorities for rehabilitation. Methods We used three-stage approach establish consensus—preparation, review. Results The is grouped under 11 headings from (1) “Definition GR” (11) “Effective develop GR in Europe”, define way...
Sample pretreatment is the most important procedure to remove matrix for interfacing with mass spectrometry (MS). Additionally, samples low concentration, process of preconcentration required before MS analysis. We have newly developed a solid-phase extraction stationary phase based on C60-fullerene covalently bound silica purification biomolecules different characteristics. Silica particles porosity are modified aminopropyl linker and then C60-fullerenoacetic acid or C60-epoxyfullerenes....
Improving mobility in elderly persons is a primary goal geriatric rehabilitation. Self-regulated exercises with instruction leaflets are used to increase training volume but adherence often low. Exergames may improve adherence. This study therefore compared exergames self-regulated exercise using leaflets. The outcome was Secondary outcomes were enjoyment, motivation and balance during walking. Design: single center parallel group non-blinded randomized controlled trial central stratified...
While eHealth can help improve outcomes for older patients receiving geriatric rehabilitation, the implementation and integration of is often complex time-consuming. To use effectively in it essential to understand experiences needs healthcare professionals. In this international multicentre cross-sectional study, we used a web-based survey explore use, benefits, feasibility usability rehabilitation settings, together with working Descriptive statistics were summarize quantitative findings....
Abstract Purpose To describe a guidance on the management of post-acute COVID 19 patients in geriatric rehabilitation. Methods The is based guidelines for COVID-19 rehabilitation developed Netherlands, updated with recent insights from literature, related other countries and disciplines, combined experiences experts participating Geriatric Rehabilitation Special Interest Group European Medicine Society. Results This divided into section addressing general recommendations specific processes...
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the major concerns in health care. In Switzerland, musculoskeletal problems represent third largest illness group with 9.4 million consultations per year. The return to work rate increased by an active treatment program and saves societal costs. However, results after rehabilitation are generally poorer patients a Southeast European cultural background than other patients. This qualitative research about LBP background, therefore, explores possible barriers...
Maintaining mobility in elderly persons has become a primary goal within healthcare services. In older adults, exercise programs significantly reduce the risk of falling and death. Long-lasting high-intensive multi-component exercises are most effective. rehabilitation setting, self-regulated conventionally taught by physiotherapists, using handouts. However, adherence to executing these self-administered varies considerably. They often considered tedious boring, thus prematurely stopped....
Zusammenfassung Aufgrund der demografischen Entwicklung mit steigender Lebenserwartung wird die Inzidenz von Hüftfrakturen und deren Operationen zunehmen. Nach Operation empfehlen aktuelle Leitlinien Vollbelastung nach Massgabe Beschwerden. Weiterhin werden jedoch Patienten einer Teilentlastung zur Rehabilitation zugewiesen. Es ist daher zu untersuchen, ob sich Belastungsvorgaben akuter auf Behandlungsergebnisse stationären auswirken. Kohorenstudie Reha-Patienten operativ versorgten...

To examine a possible relationship between infectious diseases and multiple sclerosis (MS) an enquiry was carried out among 606 MS patients in Switzerland. The data concerning their childhood were compared with epidemiological for the normal Swiss population obtained from Federal Health Office Institute of Medical Statistics. mean age 50.7 years at onset 33.8 years, significantly earlier women (33.2 years) than men (35.4 p < 0.05). In 18.8% members family affected. comparison persons...
Three different reversed-phase materials for high-performance liquid chromatography, obtained by sorption of poly(methyloctylsiloxane) (PMOS) onto bare silica, titanized and zirconized silica pores, followed immobilization with γ-radiation, were characterized means solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The surface properties these stationary phases investigated 29Si CP/MAS 13C γ-Radiation causes the formation new bonds, either between PMOS supports or siloxane chains, which leads, in case, to a...
Nanostructured, mesoporous inorganic–organic hybrid xerogels were reproducibly synthesized by a sol–gel procedure. For the introduction of long alkyl chains into inorganic polymers, trifunctional n-alkyltrialkoxysilanes type CH3(CH2)nSi(OR)3 (n = 7, 11, 17; R CH3, C2H5) co-condensed with Si(OEt)4 (TEOS). The synthetic pathway involves employment n-hexadecylamine as template and catalyst. obtained present procedure consist uniform spherical particles diameter about 1 μm. composition new...
Abstract CE offers the advantage of flexibility and method development options. It excels in area separation ions, chiral, polar biological compounds (especially proteins peptides). Masking active sites on inner surface a bare fused silica capillary wall is often necessary for separations basic compounds, peptides. The use coating one approaches to prevent adsorption phenomena improve repeatability migration times peak areas these analytes. In this study, new coatings consisting (i)...
PRINCIPLES: To evaluate the validity and feasibility of a novel photography-based home assessment (PhoHA) protocol, as possible substitute for on-site (OsHA). METHODS: A total 20 patients aged ≥65 years who were hospitalised in rehabilitation centre musculoskeletal disorders affecting mobility participated this prospective validation study. For PhoHA, occupational therapists rated photographs measurements patients' homes provided by confidants. OsHA, conducted conventional visit. RESULTS:...
