Water-Induced Shear-Strength Degradation of Coal-Measure Rocks and Its Engineering Implications: A Case Study of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine, China

Slopes excavated in coal-measure strata are prone to rainfall-induced landslides because water-induced disturbances progressively degrade rock-mass shear strength. This study investigated six coal-measure lithologies from the unloading zone of the Fushun West Open-Pit Mine using...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis coexisting with primary sjögren’s syndrome: a clinical case series and exploratory transcriptomic analysis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration, while primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with prominent immune dysregulation. Although immune-related alterations have been i...
