The policy several countries is to provide people with a terminal illness the choice of dying at home; this is supported by surveys that indicate that the general public and people with a terminal illness would prefer to receive end-of-life care at home. This is the fifth update of the original review.

To determine if providing home-based end-of-life care reduces the likelihood of dying in hospital and what effect this has on patients' symptoms, quality of life, health service costs and caregivers compared with inpatient hospital or hospice care.

We searched CENTRAL, Ovid MEDLINE(R), Embase, CINAHL, and clinical trials registries to 18 March 2020. We checked the reference lists of systematic reviews. For included studies, we checked the reference lists and performed a forward search using ISI Web of Science. We handsearched palliative care journals indexed by ISI Web of Science for online first references.

Randomised controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of home-based end-of-life care with ine at six-month follow-up (2 trials; low-certainty evidence). The effect on caregivers (2 trials; very low-certainty evidence), staff (1 trial; very low-certainty evidence) and health service costs was uncertain (2 trials, very low-certainty evidence).

The evidence included in this review supports the use of home-based end-of-life care programmes for increasing the number of people who will die at home. Research that assesses the impact of home-based end-of-life care on caregivers and admissions to hospital would be a useful addition to the evidence base, and might inform the delivery of these services.

Physical frailty and cognitive impairment have been separately associated with falls. The purpose of the study is to examine the associations of physical frailty and cognitive impairment separately and jointly with incident recurrent falls among older adults.

The analysis included 6000 older adults in community or non-nursing home residential care settings who were ≥65 years and participated in the National Health Aging Trends Study (NHATS). Frailty was assessed using the physical frailty phenotype; cognitive impairment was defined by bottom quintile of clock drawing test or immediate and delayed 10-word recall, or self/proxy-report of diagnosis of dementia, or AD8 score≥ 2. The marginal means/rates models were used to analyze the associations of frailty (by the physical frailty phenotype) and cognitive impairment with recurrent falls over 6 years follow-up (2012-2017).

Of the 6000 older adults, 1,787 (29.8%) had cognitive impairment only, 334 (5.6%) had frailty only, 615 (10.3%) had both, and 3,264 (54.4%) had neither. After adjusting for age, sex, race, education, living alone, obesity, disease burden, and mobility disability, those with frailty (with or without cognitive impairment) at baseline had higher rates of recurrent falls than those without cognitive impairment and frailty (frailty only Rate ratio (RR)=1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.18-1.44; both RR=1.28, 95% CI=1.17-1.40). The association was marginally significant for those with cognitive impairment only (RR=1.07, 95% CI=1.00-1.13).

Frailty and cognitive impairment were independently associated with recurrent falls in non-institutionalized older adults. There was a lack of synergistic effect between frailty and cognitive impairment.

It can respond to external stimuli and adjust generated circadian oscillations accordingly to maintain an endogenous period close to 24 h. However, the interaction between nutritional status and circadian rhythms in plants is poorly understood. Magnesium (Mg) is essential for numerous biological processes in plants, and its homeostasis is crucial to maintain optimal development and growth. Magnesium deficiency in young Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings increased the period of circadian oscillations of the CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) promoter (pCCA1LUC) activity and dampened their amplitude under constant light in a dose-dependent manner. Although the circadian period increase caused by Mg deficiency was light dependent, it did not depend on active photosynthesis. Mathematical modeling of the Mg input into the circadian clock reproduced the experimental increase of the circadian period and suggested that Mg is likely to affect global transcription/translation levels rather than a single component of the circadian oscillator. VS-4718 Upon addition of a low dose of cycloheximide to perturb translation, the circadian period increased further under Mg deficiency, which was rescued when sufficient Mg was supplied, supporting the model's prediction. These findings suggest that sufficient Mg supply is required to support proper timekeeping in plants.The architecture of the seed is shaped by the processes of tissue partitioning, which determines the volume ratio of maternal and zygotic tissues, and nutrient partitioning, which regulates nutrient distribution among tissues. In angiosperms, early seed development is characterized by antagonistic development of the nucellus maternal tissue and the endosperm fertilization product to become the main sugar sink. This process marked the evolution of angiosperms and outlines the most ancient seed architectures. In Arabidopsis, the endosperm partially eliminates the nucellus and imports sugars from the seed coat. Here, we show that the nucellus is symplasmically connected to the chalaza, the seed nutrient unloading zone, and works as both a sugar sink and source alongside the seed coat. After fertilization, the transient nucellus accumulates starch early on and releases it in the apoplasmic space during its elimination. By contrast, the persistent nucellus exports sugars toward the endosperm through the SWEET4 hexose facilitator.
