Beyond Central Subfield Thickness: Early Multi-Slice Optical Coherence Tomography Structural Response After Faricimab Injection in Real-World Diabetic Macular Edema

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the early efficacy of faricimab (Vabysmo®) in treating diabetic macular edema (DME) and to explore the predictive value of multi-slice optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers for anatomical and visual outcomes. Methods: In this retrospectiv...

Glycemic and Lipid Outcomes Associated with Bitter Melon Blood-Sugar-Modulating Protein and Metformin Use: A Translational Preclinical and Retrospective Study

Background/Objectives: Interactions between botanical supplements and standard antidiabetic therapies remain poorly understood. This study investigated the efficacy and mechanistic properties of a bitter melon blood-sugar-modulating protein (BMP) in relation to concurrent metform...

Short Report: Divergent Sleep–Wake Regularity in U.S. Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Bedtime vs Wake-up Regularity

Sleep–wake regularity is an emerging dimension of sleep health, yet its association with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remains understudied in nationally representative samples, particularly across distinct components of sleep timing. Using parent-reported data from 11,462 U.S....

Associations between impaired intrinsic capacity and emergency room visits among community-dwelling older adults

Background Emergency room (ER) visits in older adults are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework assesses intrinsic capacity (IC), but the association between IC impairments and ER visi...

A Reproducible Evidence-Audit Framework for Leakage, Feature Stability, and Transportability in Translational Omics Classification

Submission-aligned code, outputs, figures, supplements, and manuscript for a reproducible evidence-audit framework in high-dimensional translational omics classification. A naive global-selection workflow is contrasted descriptively with a guarded nested workflow; because the arm...

Valuation, Profitability, and Subsequent Stock Returns: Firm Fixed-Effects Evidence from Taiwan

Abstract : This study examines whether valuation ratios and profitability are associated with subsequent-quarter stock returns in Taiwan. The analysis applies firm fixed-effects regressions with quarter fixed effects and firm-clustered standard errors. The results show that ROE i...

A Novel Hemizygous CDX4 Missense Variant Identified in a Taiwanese Man with Severe Teratozoospermia

Background and Objectives: Male factors account for approximately 30–50% of subfertile couples. Teratozoospermia is one of the major causes of male infertility; however, the genetic factors underlying many cases remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to identify potenti...

Martian‑Regolith Simulant Confined Nanogenerators for Wireless Tactile Sensing for Human‐Machine Interface

Achieving a sustainable energy system for space missions remains challenging due to the continued reliance on Earth-supplied materials. This underscores the importance of in situ resource utilization (ISRU) strategies that convert planetary resources into functional electronic co...
