Psychopathological and Temperamental Stratification of Eating Disorders With Clustering: From Diagnosis to Phenotypic Diversity

OBJECTIVE: Eating disorders are highly heterogeneous, challenging diagnostic classification and treatment personalisation. This study aimed to identify data-driven phenotypes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa and examine their relationship with DSM-5 diagnoses and short-ter...

Resolving Sub-Surface Ice Pebbles in Cometary Simulants using THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

Planetary formation theories aim to explain how planets form from the proto-planetary disk through processes such as classical hierarchical growth or pebble accretion. Comets are considered primitive remnants of this early phase, bodies that never coalesced into planets and now r...

A dynamic, physics-driven life cycle model for citrus supply chain: Evidence from a South Africa–Netherlands maritime trade route

Agri-food chains, especially fruit, produce about 10% of global GHG emissions, with more than half arising after harvest. Yet current methods, such as life cycle assessment (LCA), lack the spatial, temporal and physiological detail needed to resolve stage-specific drivers of envi...

Effect of chronic high‐altitude hypoxia on retinal vascular phenotype, choroidal and retinal vasoreactivity in Peruvian highlanders

Abstract High‐altitude chronic hypoxia can induce excessive erythrocytosis (EE, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of ≥21 g/dL in men), leading to hyperviscosity and promoting endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to assess whether EE affects the retinal vascular phenotype and th...
