From Pharmacological Trigger to Manic State: Convergent Neurobiological Mechanisms of Drug-Induced Mania

Manic and hypomanic states are precipitated by pharmacologically diverse agents, including corticosteroids and antidepressants, and carry serious clinical consequences. Since the last cross-class review in 1995, the literature has fragmented into class-specific reviews lacking a...

Combination strategy of photothermal therapy and targeted IFN-β mutein priming elicits a durable abscopal effect

Metastatic tumors remain difficult to cure due to frequent dissemination and recurrence. While photothermal therapy (PTT) can trigger abscopal effects, PTT monotherapy often fails to sustain systemic immunity. Here, we investigated a tripartite strategy combining PTT, a tumor-tar...

Associations of nova-defined ultra-processed food intake and cardiometabolic health among Korean adults from 2007 to 2023

The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been increased worldwide. Given its association with adverse health outcomes, monitoring long-term trends in UPF intake is important. However, evidence among Asian adults on UPF intake and health outcomes is limited. We analyzed...

Trustworthy Digital Auxiliary Processes for Sustainable Energy Utilization: A Targeted Process-Oriented Review and Conceptual Evidence-to-Review Framework

Sustainable energy systems increasingly rely on digital auxiliary processes that convert telemetry, forecasts, diagnostic evidence, and operating rules into reviewable information for authorized human decision-makers. This targeted review develops a transparent and traceable conc...

Trustworthy Gait Analysis for Computer-Aided Diagnosis in Parkinson’s Disease and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Targeted Narrative Review of Algorithms and Clinical Validation

Gait analysis is increasingly used as a dynamic functional biomarker for computer-aided diagnosis (CADx), although strong internal performance alone does not establish clinical utility. This targeted narrative review examines Parkinson’s disease (PD) and knee osteoarthritis (KOA)...

Dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health among Korean adolescents: Korea national health and nutrition examination survey, 2007–2022

Adolescence is a critical developmental period during which diet profoundly influences lifelong health. However, evidence on dietary patterns among adolescents and their sex-specific associations with cardiometabolic health remains limited. This study aimed to identify major diet...
