Clinician-curated ChatGPT-4o– and DeepSeek-R1–assisted exercise programmes added to standard physiotherapy for subacromial pain syndrome: a triple-masked randomized controlled trial

Large language models may assist clinicians in developing exercise programmes and could offer an alternative approach to conventional physiotherapist-designed rehabilitation in musculoskeletal disorders such as subacromial pain syndrome. The aim of this triple-masked randomized c...

Metal-reinforced PLA composites for material extrusion additive manufacturing: Interfaces and performance

Metal-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites produced by fused deposition modeling/fused filament fabrication (FDM/FFF) offer thermal, electrical, magnetic, antimicrobial, biomedical, and post-processing functions. However, these benefits are often accompanied by reduced str...

Evaluation of passive NO2 removal by graphene oxide-polyacrylonitrile electrospun nanofiber membranes at indoor-relevant concentrations

Traffic-related outdoor nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) emissions can infiltrate indoor environments, negatively affecting indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly in buildings near urban roads. In the present exploratory study, the passive performance of graphene oxide (GO)-doped polyacr...

Investigation of MTPA Parameter Dependency in MPC‐Based IPMSM Drives and an Experimental Parameter Robust MTPA Strategy

ABSTRACT Model predictive control (MPC) has become a widely adopted control technique for interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) drives due to its fast dynamic response and simple control structure. Several studies exist in the literature aiming to improve the robu...

Emerging cfDNA technologies in glioblastoma through fragmentomics and sonobiopsy

Glioblastoma (GBM) is difficult to monitor using liquid biopsy because the tumor-derived fraction of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), i.e., circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), is often very low in plasma and because spatial and temporal heterogeneity complicate single-variant tracki...

Association Between Obesity Severity and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis-Derived Metabolic Age in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Metabolic age (Met-Age), a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived index based on basal metabolic rate (BMR) and body composition, has been associated with cardiometabolic risk. However, its relationship with body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity severity in in...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction across Synovial and Peripheral Compartments in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Multi-tissue Transcriptomic Integration of PBMC, Synovial Biopsy and Whole Blood

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease with synovial inflammation and systemic immune alterations. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in RA pathogenesis, but its tissue-specific and shared molecular signatures remain poorly characterized. We performe...

Comparative Numerical Analysis of Surcharge Effects on a Cantilever Sheet Pile Wall in Stiff Clay

Cantilever sheet pile walls rely on passive resistance below the excavation level and are therefore sensitive to nearby surface loads. This study evaluates the combined effects of surcharge magnitude and distance on a 4 m deep excavation supported by a 9 m long steel sheet pile w...
