Feasibility and acceptability of adding peer support to a school-based nurse-led smoking cessation intervention among male adolescents in Pakistan: a pilot cluster-randomized trial

Reducing adolescent smoking is a global health priority. School-based, nurse-led interventions show promise, yet most studies have been conducted in Western and other high-income countries. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a school-based, nurse-led smoking...

Associations of ambient temperature and PM2.5 concentration with temporal variability in emergency department visits for acute gastrointestinal illnesses in central Bangkok, Thailand: a 5-year retrospective analysis

The combined effects of temperature and air pollution on acute gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses remain underexplored in tropical settings. This study examined the association between ambient temperature, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and emergency department (ED) visits for gas...

Probing Lattice‐Oxygen Redox in Pt‐WO 3 Nanocrystals by Operando Spectroscopy: Bridging Surface Chemistry and Ethanol Sensing

ABSTRACT Understanding how lattice oxygen participates in gas sensing remains a challenge in metal‐oxide chemistry. Here, we combine operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), operando Raman spectroscopy, ex situ electron paramagnetic resonance...

Distribution and viral load of canine respiratory coronavirus in naturally infected dogs: evidence from clinical sampling sites and tissue detection

Canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV) is a respiratory pathogen associated with the canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC). Although CRCoV is primarily considered a respiratory virus, its distribution beyond the respiratory tract remains poorly understood. This st...

Intra-abdominal Bowel Dilation in Experimental Gastroschisis Is Associated With a Modifiable Transcriptomic Program of Intestinal Dysfunction

OBJECTIVE: To characterize intestinal transcriptional profiles in gastroschisis, their temporal evolution, and response to fetal intervention. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Gastroschisis causes significant intestinal dysfunction, with intra-abdominal bowel dilation clinically shown to...

Exploring influential factors on settlement intentions of the floating population in the Bangkok metropolitan region: A contextual analysis of spatial variation

Over 50% of Thailand's floating population is located inside the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR). Its growth presents a significant challenge to public budget planning due to the uncertainty associated with individuals residing outside civil registration vital statistics (CRVS)...

Insights into the relationship between menopausal timing and risk of cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization analyses

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and imposes a substantial burden on women’s health. Early onset of menopause, as a unique trait of reproductive aging, has been associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events in traditional observational s...

Does increased staging complexity influence expert agreement in dental age estimation?

Dental age estimation (DAE) is a well-established procedure in current practice, and it is frequently required in forensic and legal investigations. This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and inter-observer reliability of dental development staging among forensic practitioners u...

Challenges of Digital Transformation: A Human-centred Perspective on Technology Adoption in Tourism Micro-Entrepreneurship

This study explores the digital transformation challenges faced by micro-entrepreneurs in the tourism and hospitality sector, offering a unique focus on their specific needs and constraints. Grounded in theoretical foundations that integrate Innovation Diffusion Theory and Dynami...

Single-cell morphological responses as predictors of ciprofloxacin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) coincides with a declining pipeline of new antibiotics, underscoring the urgent need for rapid and accurate antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Single-cell AST approaches offer the potential to shorten diagnostic turnaround...

Advancing the management control systems-as-a-package: designing external resilience controls for climate-exposed agricultural industry

Purpose Agricultural firms face climate, technological and geopolitical volatility. Existing management control system (MCS) frameworks acknowledge uncertainty but lack a control category that explains how external signals trigger and shape internal routines. This study aims to i...

Controlling Valence Band for Cu2Sn0.38Ge0.62S3 Particles via Li Substitution at Cu Sites

Abstract Cu2(Sn,Ge)S3 (CTGS) is a promising near-infrared-responsive photocathode material whose conduction band minimum can be tuned by varying the Sn/Ge ratio, whereas direct control of the valence band maximum (VBM) remains challenging because of the large Cu 3d contribution t...

Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy during pregnancy: a contemporary Southeast Asian experience

Abstract Background Severe rheumatic mitral stenosis during pregnancy is associated with substantial maternal and fetal morbidity because physiological hemodynamic changes may precipitate heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PT...

Human scFv inhibiting broad coronavirus replication: a pandemic preparedness candidate

The ongoing emergence of zoonotic coronaviruses (CoVs) and the rapid evolution of viral variants underscore the need for broadly active antiviral agents. The relatively conserved S2 subunit of the coronavirus spike protein is an attractive target for developing pan-coronavirus th...

Mass Spectrometry-BasedProfiling of PersonalizedImmunopeptidomes in Thai Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract This study profiles the personalized immunopeptidomes of 13 Thai patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), addressing a critical knowledge gap in Southeast Asian populations characterized by distinct HLA allele distributions. We combined whole-exome sequencing (WES)–base...

Maiming by design: Structural harm in oral health systems globally

Tooth extraction is among the most common dental interventions, particularly in underfunded health systems where preventive, restorative, and rehabilitative dental services remain scarce. Drawing on Jasbir Puar's concept of 'maiming' tooth extraction is reframed from technical/ec...
