Hemorrhagic hepatocellular carcinoma managed with urgent transarterial particle embolization: A case report

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although many cases follow an indolent course, spontaneous hemorrhage from HCC is a rare but life-threatening complication that requires rapi...

Epidemic mean-field thresholds of SIS dynamics on temporal multiplex networks with activity-driven layers

Abstract We investigate the susceptible--infected--susceptible (SIS) process on a temporal multiplex network where a persistent static layer is overlaid with an activity-driven layer of one-step contacts. Simulations on several random network families (Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi, Watts--...

Sex Work and Policing in the United States

Prior research on sex worker–police interactions in the United States has primarily focused on regional samples and negative interactions. The current study draws from national sex worker survey data ( N = 440) and seeks to answer two questions: (1) What types of interactions do...

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions and their association with autoimmune disease: an update

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), are T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reacti...

Testing electron–photon exchange–correlation functional performance for many-electron systems under weak and strong light–matter coupling

We present results for a photon-free exchange–correlation functional within the local density approximation (pxcLDA) for quantum electrodynamics density functional theory (QEDFT), which efficiently describes the electron density of many-electron systems across weak to strong ligh...

Optimizing Inventory Placement for a Downstream Online Matching Problem

Problem definition: We study the inventory placement problem of splitting [Formula: see text] units of a single item across warehouses in advance of a downstream online matching problem that represents the dynamic fulfillment decisions of an e-commerce retailer. This is a challen...

A Qualitative Study Identifying Behavioral Science Communication Strategies to Improve Client Engagement and HIV Prevention by Disease Interventionists

Background: Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS), essential implementers of HIV prevention efforts, have increasingly relied on learned empathy, rather than evidence-based strategies for client engagement. Given the mismatch between DIS demands and training, as well as demonstr...

Zippers and Twisters: Planes of Satellite Galaxies Emerge from Whirling and Shocking Gas Streams in the Cosmic Web

Abstract We investigate dwarf satellite systems around massive centrals analogs (Milky Way to Centaurus A) in the NewHorizon simulation. Using simple estimators limiting overdetection, we identify planes of satellites comparable to observations in 30%–70% of cases. The full sampl...

Targeting Oncogenic KRAS Using Peptide Nucleic Acid Oligomers Attached to Cell-Penetrating Peptides

Approximately 30% of tumors contain an activating mutation in the oncogene KRAS, leading to increased cell proliferation that often promotes non-small cell lung cancers, colorectal adenocarcinomas, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), and other cancers. Among the most common...

An Adult Presentation of KIF11 ‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up

Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42-year-old female presenting with a de novo single-amino ac...

Emerging innovations in movement ecology to address planetary challenges

Abstract Movement ecology—the study of how and why animals move within their environments—stands to offer transformative insights into our rapidly changing world, with benefits for both nature and people. Here, we present the first global horizon scan for movement ecology, engagi...

Mid-infrared long-range surface polaritons in two-dimensional van der Waals materials

The discovery of graphene plasmons (GPs) and hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials has enabled extreme light confinement and enhanced light-matter interactions, holding the promise for miniaturized mid-infrared (mid-IR) photoni...
