EMG-derived cycle-time assessment of passive back-support exoskeletons in construction workers during repetitive masonry manual handling tasks

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders remain highly prevalent among construction workers due to repetitive manual handling and physically demanding tasks. While passive back-support exoskeletons have demonstrated biomechanical benefits, their impact on worker productivity remain...

Cannabis‐Based Oil for Pain and Other Non‐Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of treatments for non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and effectiveness of an oral Cannabis sativa L. extract on pain and other NMS of PD. METHODS: This phase II, randomized, placebo-controlled trial ev...

The Cultivation, Sustenance, and Disruption of Zombie Pedagogies in Higher Education

The zombie pedagogy metaphor has gained notable traction within critical higher education scholarship. However, much of its deployment has focused on cataloging pedagogical practices deemed “undead,” rather than interrogating the institutional conditions that animate and sustain...

Key factors for growth and phosphate uptake by Acinetobacter tjernbergiae

Abstract Phosphorus-containing fertilisers are essential for global food production but depend on finite phosphate rock reserves. Recovery of phosphorus from waste streams, such as those in wastewater treatment plants, will be required to follow future regulations. Certain Acinet...

Assessment of degradation in Ion pair membrane high temperature PEM fuel cells using commercial and customized catalysts under varied operating conditions

High-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) present considerable advantages, such as high energy efficiency and tolerance to fuel impurities; however, durability issues and catalyst costs remain major barriers to commercial adoption. This study systematically...

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation and emotional responding in borderline personality disorder: a randomized single-blind, sham-controlled study

BACKGROUND: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by severe emotional vulnerability, including heightened sensitivity, exaggerated reactivity, and delayed recovery from emotional arousal. Altered interoceptive-affective processing may contribute to these features...

Systematic review of green hydrogen and e-fuel integration in large-scale sector-coupled energy system models

The transition towards renewable energy has accelerated interest in green hydrogen and e-fuels as scalable solutions for decarbonising hard-to-electrify sectors. This paper presents a critical appraisal of the existing literature, supported by a systematic review of 271 peer-revi...

Risk of Bias Associated with Varying Sampling Strategies for External Comparator Cohorts for Single‐Arm Trials: Insights from Aggressive Lymphoma

Marketing authorizations for oncology drugs are often based on single-arm trials (SATs), and real-world data-based external comparator cohorts (ECCs) are increasingly explored to contextualize results. In retrospective studies, comparators may be identified by time of diagnosis b...

Temporal associations between severe infection and long-term risk of incident arrhythmias: a population-based cohort study

The long-term impact of severe infection on arrhythmia risk across the cardiac rhythm spectrum remains incompletely characterized. We investigated the association between hospital-treated infection and incident arrhythmias, examining temporal patterns, pathogen and site specifici...
