Reconstructing institutional food practices in early Mesopotamia using multi-proxy biomolecular evidence

The world’s first public institutions developed in Mesopotamia during the fourth millennium BCE. There is broad consensus that food, its control, and (re-)distribution played a central role in these processes, but the composition of institutional meals remains poorly understood....

Clinical integration of trabecular bone score in precision osteoporosis care: a position statement by the Egyptian academy of bone and muscle health

Abstract Background Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived bone mineral density (BMD) has long been the gold standard for osteoporosis diagnosis, yet its inability to account for bone quality leads to a significant “sensitivity gap” in fracture risk prediction. This posit...

Post-Disaster Planning, Compound Climate–Displacement Vulnerability, and Urban Resilience Governance in Lagos, Nigeria: A Systematic Review

Lagos, Nigeria (population c.18.3–25 million), occupies a position of compound exposure at the intersection of accelerating climate hazards, recurring displacement and urban fragility, and governance constraints that have amplified rather than mitigated disaster risk. Conventiona...

Comparative analysis of cerium incorporation techniques on Ni/Al2O3 catalysts for methane dry reforming: Surface promotion vs. structural support modification

Two series of 5 wt.% Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts incorporating cerium (Ce) at loadings ranging from 1.0 to 3.0 wt.% were prepared by impregnation and subjected to systematic evaluation for the dry reforming of methane (DRM) at 700 °C. The two series were distinguished by the mode of Ce...

Improving confidence in assessing black and brown skin in advanced clinical practice students through a targeted teaching session

Background: People with black and brown skin tones are at risk of delayed or missed diagnoses due to variations in clinical presentation and limited clinician confidence. Aim: To evaluate whether a targeted teaching session improves confidence among advanced clinical practice (AC...
