Greenhouse gases resulting from grid‐connected electricity demand

Abstract Many businesses would like to claim their electricity use results in no greenhouse gases. Because electricity cannot be traced from specific generators to purchasers, regulators and users propose an approximation. Clean electricity use would meet three conditions, or “pi...

Does scientific writing converge to U.S. english? evidence from generative AI-assisted publications

Abstract A growing literature documents that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is changing scientific writing. Much of this literature, however, focuses on absolute changes in vocabulary or readability. An important question remains unanswered: Does GenAI use lead to sys...

Highlights of the 2025 American Joint Replacement Registry Annual Report

The 2025 American Joint Replacement Registry Annual Report includes 4.6 million hip and knee arthroplasty procedures, with 4,434,668 validated cases, representing a 20% increase from the prior report. Registry participation continues to expand, with contributions from over 5000 s...

A Novel Spray-on Dressing is Comparable to Silver Impregnated Foam Dressing in Controlling MRSA Infection and Promoting Healing

Abstract Burn injuries disrupt the skin barrier, increasing susceptibility to infection, delaying healing, and can potentially becoming life-threatening. Wound dressings mitigate this risk by protecting the wound from environmental pathogens. This study evaluated a novel antimicr...

Epigenetic Modulation by Luteolin, Quercetin and Apigenin in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

For many years, plants have long served as sources of potential therapeutic agents. Recently, there has been a growing interest in investigating the effects of plant bio-active compounds on epigenetic modulation of several processes—among them, modifications of DNA, histones, and...

Standard errors: an autoethnographic reflection on political science research on foreign aid

Mainstream political scientists and post/decolonial scholars both seem animated by an interest in social justice, yet they rarely engage with one another's work. As a political scientist who spent fifteen years in the mainstream before retraining in post/decolonial scholarship, I...

Shear banding in simulations of polymer melts

Results from numerical simulations of polymers under shear flow are compared with predictions for shear banding based on a model coupling Rolie-Poly-like tube dynamics to the entanglement dynamics mediated by convected constraint release (CCR). CCR is controlled by a parameter β,...

Transplant Infectious Diseases Work Standards—Results From a Mid‐Atlantic Regional Survey

BACKGROUND: As transplantation and cellular therapy expand, so must the transplant infectious diseases (TID) workforce; yet little is known about regional or national TID work standards for the existing workforce. This survey of TID clinicians in the mid-Atlantic region seeks to...

How sovereign control, decarbonization and energy costs shape public support for data centers

The rapid expansion of data centers has created new political challenges. Governments want to build more data centers to reap the benefits from the artificial intelligence (AI) economy and achieve their digital sovereignty agendas. However, data centers require enormous amounts o...

Evaluation of the Relative Citation Ratio Versus the H-Index as Measures of Citation-Based Scholarly Influence in Academic Neurosurgery

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Evaluating citation-based scholarly influence among academic faculty is foundational to academic medicine, as retention, promotion, and tenure to govern career advancement at every level. The h-index has been the standard metric across fields, including...

Molecular Recognitionand Chirality Sensing with MetalloceneDichloride Complexes

Abstract The utility of well-defined transition-metal coordination complexes for separation-free enantioselective optical analysis has received significant traction due to its promise to speed up chiral compound screening workflows. Herein, chiroptical sensing of a broad selectio...

Congenital heart disease in pregnancy and severe maternal morbidity: A distributed data network study

Abstract Introduction Pregnant people with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a growing patient population in obstetrics, yet evidence on the risk for severe maternal morbidity (SMM) has largely been limited to studies that lack specificity for CHD. We conducted this study to dem...

Thirty-day Mortality Among Jehovah's Witness Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding Who Decline Blood Transfusion: A Retrospective Cohort Study

INTRODUCTION: Patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) who decline allogeneic blood transfusion present a major management challenge, and comparative outcome data are limited. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study acros...

Surgical Management of Young Women with High-Risk Breast Cancer Receiving Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy on the I-SPY2 Trial

BACKGROUND: Mastectomy rates in women with breast cancer are higher in younger women than in older women. The impact of this more extensive surgery on overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence in younger women is unknown, especially after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST...

Early Implementation of a Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump Program in a Contemporary Multi-Hospital Health System: Integration With Minimally Invasive and Combined Surgical Strategies for Colorectal Liver Metastases

Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) therapy has re-emerged as an important liver-directed treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), yet its integration into contemporary surgical workflows, including minimally invasive and combined procedures, remains incompletely charact...
