Applying Lifestyle Medicine to Improve Health Outcomes in People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and autism spectrum disorder experience disproportionately high rates of chronic disease, often exacerbated by systemic care barriers. Despite these concerns, interventions for this population rarely target overa...

Evolutionary and Functional Conservation of Topologically Associating Domain Boundaries in Rice Genomes

Traditional evolutionary analysis has relied primarily on one-dimensional (1D) sequencing data, but recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) genomics allow for deeper investigation of how genome architecture shapes evolutionary divergence. In this study, we analyze conserved and...

Polygenic Risk Scores in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Cross-Scale View from Genes to Brain and Behavior

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a genetically complex disorder in which inherited susceptibility is distributed across rare high-impact variants, the apolipoprotein E (APOE) locus, and a broad polygenic background of common risk alleles. Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) provide a quantit...

The First Multi-Messenger Nova: External Shocks, TeV Photons, and Neutrinos in the Next Eruption of T CrB

Abstract T Coronae Borealis is the most compelling anticipated Galactic recurrent nova and one of the best opportunities to test whether nova eruptions can become genuine multi-messenger transients. Recent observational work on classical novae has shown that the GeV γ-ray luminos...

High-Fidelity Electrochemistry with Ultraclean Graphene Electrodes

Abstract The electrochemical performance of CVD graphene electrodes has remained inconsistent and often inferior to that of exfoliated graphene, limiting their utility in analytical applications. This variability is widely attributed to structural disorder, but the dominant sourc...

Receptive-field remapping and trans-saccadic space updating

Since its discovery, perisaccadic receptive-field (RF) remapping—the shift of RFs around the time of saccades—has inspired many studies exploring its origins, characteristics, and functional implications. We review recent developments leading to a circuit model that links spatiot...

Practical Considerations for Operando 7Li Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in Coin and Pouch Cells

Abstract Operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides unique insight into chemical changes in batteries during use but has largely been limited to custom plastic cells. Unfortunately, the metal casings that house commercial batteries distort and shield radiofre...

Adjuvant Systemic Hypothermia During Mechanical Thrombectomy (ReCCLAIM II): A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Hypothermia reduces ischemic injury in preclinical stroke models, yet translation into the clinical setting remains challenging. We aimed to assess the feasibility of inducing adjuvant systemic hypothermia among patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke during mecha...

Mental Health Outcomes Among Transgender People in South Africa During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Service Disruptions and Social, Structural, and Relational Correlates

Purpose: We examined how sociodemographic, structural, and violence-related factors and disruptions in HIV services and gender-affirming care (GAC: nonmedical supplies, therapy/counseling, medications/hormones, surgeries) were associated with suicidal ideation and moderate/severe...

Cinematic rendering for characterization of anomalous coronary origins: visualization of interarterial courses and post-surgical assessment

Cinematic rendering is an advanced three-dimensional post-processing technique that applies Monte Carlo-based global illumination to CT datasets, producing photorealistic volumetric reconstructions that enhance depth perception and tissue-plane visualization compared with convent...

Demystifying Prediction-Powered Inference

Machine learning predictions are increasingly used to supplement incomplete or costly-to-measure outcomes in fields such as biomedical research, environmental science, and social science. However, treating predictions as ground truth introduces bias while ignoring them wastes val...

At what cost? Governing unity in Tibetan diaspora nationalism

This article examines Tibetan exile politics as a form of long-distance nationalism unfolding within a deterritorialized arena linking homelands, host states, and global solidarity networks. While diasporas are often portrayed as cohesive political actors, Tibetan exile politics...

Attributing PM2.5 and NO2 Changes One Year after New York City’s Congestion Pricing Policy

Abstract In January 2025, New York City implemented the Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP), a congestion pricing policy targeting lower Manhattan. We evaluate its first-year air quality effects using ground-based and satellite observations. Comparing New York City...

Unearthing Toxic Beauty: Project CLEAR Protocol to Assess Skin-Lightening Product Exposure in Northern Manhattan

Skin lightening products (SLPs) are widely used among communities of color and often contain toxic chemicals that pose serious health risks. Despite regulations, these products remain accessible in the United States through deceptive labeling and illegal sales, which might contri...

Temporal, Geographic, and Polysubstance Patterns in Orphine Analogue Detections

This cross-sectional study examines the temporal, geographic, and polysubstance patterns in orphine analogue detections.

AASLD EXPO: Liver biopsy

Background: Liver biopsy is a foundational tool in hepatology, providing direct histologic assessment of hepatic parenchyma. Although noninvasive approaches have substantially reduced the need for biopsy in practice, it continues to play a critical role in diagnosis, staging, and...

Mutual constraints on global aerosol composition from novel PACE data and ModelE

Abstract. Aerosol climate impacts remain uncertain, in part because global aerosol composition observations have been unavailable to constrain Earth System Models (ESMs). We present the first comparison of aerosol composition from the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PA...

Psychometric Properties of the French Version of the Provider Co-Management Index-RN

Background Strengthening primary care through team-based models is a global priority as strong primary care systems are consistently associated with improved outcomes. The Provider Co-Management Index for Registered Nurses (PCMI-RN) is a validated instrument measuring co-manageme...
