Similar outcomes could be possible with the two programmes. Health care professionals may consider suggesting well-designed aquatic or land-based exercise classes for patients with osteoarthritis, based on their preferences and convenience.

We show that the large orbital degeneracy inherent in Moiré heterostructures naturally gives rise to a 'high-Tc' like phase diagram with a chiral twist -wherein an exotic quantum anomalous Hall insulator phase is flanked by chiral d + id superconducting domes. Specifically, we analyze repulsively interacting fermions on hexagonal (triangular or honeycomb) lattices near Van Hove filling, with an SU(N f ) flavor degeneracy. This model is inspired by recent experiments on graphene Moiré heterostructures. At this point, a nested Fermi surface and divergent density of states give rise to strong (ln 2 ) instabilities to correlated phases, the competition between which can be controllably addressed through a combination of weak coupling parquet renormalization group and Landau-Ginzburg analysis. For N f = 2 (i.e. spin degeneracy only) it is known that chiral d + id superconductivity is the unambiguously leading weak coupling instability. Here we show that N f ≥ 4 leads to a richer (but still unambiguous and fully controllable) behavior, wherein at weak coupling the leading instability is to a fully gapped and chiral Chern insulator, characterized by a spontaneous breaking of time reversal symmetry and a quantized Hall response. Upon doping this phase gives way to a chiral d + id superconductor. We further consider deforming this minimal model by introducing an orbital splitting of the Van Hove singularities, and discuss the resulting RG flow and phase diagram. Our analysis thus bridges the minimal model and the practical Moiré band structures, thereby providing a transparent picture of how the correlated phases arise under various circumstances. Meanwhile, a similar analysis on the square lattice predicts a phase diagram where (for N f > 2) a nodal staggered flux phase with 'loop current' order gives way upon doping to a nodal d-wave superconductor.

Self-management intervention is a good method to improve self-care ability, as such, to promote quality of life. However, the research focused on self-management intervention in heart failure patients in Taiwan is very limited. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to test the effectiveness of self-management intervention in patients with heart failure in Taiwan and examine the relationship between self-care ability and quality of life. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study with convenience sampling. Of the 82 subjects participating in this study, 40 of them chose to join the experimental (self-management intervention plus usual care) and 42 of them chose to join control (usual care) group. Three questionnaires were used to collect the data, which were the demographic questionnaire, the self-care questionnaire (Self-Care of HF Index V 6), and the quality of life questionnaire (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire). To examine the effectiveness of the intervention, self-care ability and quality of life were measured, using a pretest, 1- and 2-month follow-up assessment. Generalized estimation equations (GEE) were used to compare changes over time among groups for outcomes to ensure the effectiveness of the intervention. This study confirmed the effectiveness of the self-management intervention. The clinical provider should increase the awareness of the importance of self-management skills and self-care ability especially for heart failure patients. The designated disease-specific self-management patient book and individualize intervention should be dispensing and implementing.

The rapidly expanding class of quantum materials known as topological semimetals (TSMs) displays unique transport properties, including a striking dependence of resistivity on applied magnetic field, that are of great interest for both scientific and technological reasons. So far, many possible sources of extraordinarily large nonsaturating magnetoresistance have been proposed. However, experimental signatures that can identify or discern the dominant mechanism and connect to available theories are scarce. Here we present the magnetic susceptibility (χ), the tangent of the Hall angle (tan θ H ), along with magnetoresistance in four different nonmagnetic semimetals with high mobilities, NbP, TaP, NbSb 2 , and TaSb 2 , all of which exhibit nonsaturating large magnetoresistance (MR). We find that the distinctly different temperature dependences, χ(T), and the values of tan θ H in phosphides and antimonates serve as empirical criteria to sort the MR from different origins: NbP and TaP are uncompensated semimetals with linear dispersion, in which the nonsaturating magnetoresistance arises due to guiding center motion, while NbSb 2 and TaSb 2 are compensated semimetals, with a magnetoresistance emerging from nearly perfect charge compensation of two quadratic bands. Our results illustrate how a combination of magnetotransport and susceptibility measurements may be used to categorize the increasingly ubiquitous nonsaturating large magnetoresistance in TSMs.nonsaturating magnetoresistance | magnetic susceptibility | Weyl semimetals | topological semimetals
