MOF-Supported Pt-Alloy Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in PEM Fuel Cells: Design, Performance, and Future Directions

Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising energy conversion technologies for transportation, portable power, and stationary energy applications because of their high efficiency and low emissions. However, the widespread commercialization of PEMFCs remain...

Patient-Specific Mirrored Planning Leads to Superior Symmetry for Late Post-Traumatic Deformity After Orbital Zygomatic Maxillary Complex Fractures

Background: Post-traumatic orbital-ZMC deformity is notoriously difficult to correct because of soft tissue contraction and loss of anatomic landmarks. To see whether virtual planning is beneficial, we studied orbital/malar volume correction, globe position, malar projection and...

Evaluation and chronotopes in newsbites from Trump White House email newsletters from 2017 to 2020

This article focuses on curated lists of newsbites (hyperlinked headlines accompanied by ledes or images) sent in emails by the official account of The White House during the first administration of U.S. President Donald Trump (2017–2020). Building on previous research on how eva...

Nicotinamide Riboside for Patients With Early-Stage Parkinson Disease

Importance Nicotinamide riboside, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide precursor, has been proposed as a potential disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson disease based on preclinical and early studies. Whether prolonged oral nicotinamide riboside improves clinical outcomes in Par...

Exploring provider preferences for HIV treatment support packages integrating long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy in New York Ryan White Part A medical case management programs

Background: Understanding the preferences of core HIV medical case management (MCM) program staff for long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI ART)-related support services could help integrate those services into MCM programs, thus facilitating uptake of LAI ART and in...

Evidence-based atlas of risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders: an umbrella review to inform personalized prognosis and prevention.

Identifying updated, evidence-based risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders is essential to advancing scientific and clinical knowledge of their etiology. Since the most recent umbrella review published in this journal, the evidence base has expanded substantially. Fo...

Abandoned, neglected, abused, and stuck waiting: Rethinking special immigrant juvenile status

Abstract Special Immigrant Juvenile is a special status an immigrant child can receive if they are under the age of 21, unmarried, and have been abandoned, neglected, or abused by one or both parents. This designation enables children to apply for lawful permanent residence. Spec...

The School Psychologist as a Community Psychologist: Practice at a Structural Turning Point

School psychologists implementing multi-tiered systems of support are already practicing community psychology, often without the theoretical vocabulary to recognize and extend what they are doing. This paper maps eight community psychology principles onto school psychology practi...

MOF-Derived Nitrogen-Doped Carbon-Supported Ordered Intermetallic PtNiCo Nanoparticles for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Abstract Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained attention as promising catalyst supports due to their tunable structures, high surface areas, and excellent thermal stability. In this work, ZIF-67, a cobalt-based MOF, is employed as a precursor to synthesize a nitrogen-doped...

Faith in the fine print: Enforcing Mahr agreements in New York divorce proceedings

Abstract Islamic marriage agreements include a Mahr, which is a financial promise from husband to wife triggered by divorce or death. Intended to protect women's financial stability, Mahr enforcement in U.S. Courts, particularly in New York, is inconsistent. Some Courts treat Mah...

Primary healthcare centers as key partners in HPV self-sampling: a mixed-methods study on feasibility and acceptance in rural areas near Quito, Ecuador

Cervical Cancer (CC), preventable through vaccination and screening, is the second most common cancer among Ecuadorian women. Access to screening is unequal, with rural populations disproportionally affected by limited healthcare resources, transportation, and poverty. While huma...

Large Language Models (LLMs) vs Manual Chart Review for Assessing Goal-Concordant Care: An Exploratory Study

BackgroundEvidence that advance care planning (ACP) improves goal-concordant care (GCC) remains limited. Challenges are lack of reproducible operational definition of GCC and labor-intensive nature of manual chart review.ObjectivesDevelop a structured approach to adjudicating GCC...

Deep Learning Applied to 12-Lead ECGs for Detection of Structural, Metabolic and Systemic Disease

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is inexpensive, noninvasive, and widely available, but conventional interpretation may not capture subtle signals related to cardiac structure, systemic physiology, and future risk. This review examines the use of deep learning–enabled ECG anal...

Laboratory and wild Drosophila sechellia have conserved niche specialization phenotypes

Abstract Many studies investigating the proximate causes of evolutionary adaptations dissect potentially adaptive phenotypes under laboratory conditions where organisms are more easily experimentally manipulated. For such models, it remains unclear if organisms maintained long-te...

Multiscale characterization of cortical signatures in positive and negative schizotypy:a worldwide ENIGMA study

Positive and negative schizotypy reflect distinct patterns of subclinical traits in the general population associated with neurodevelopmental and schizophrenia-spectrum pathologies. Yet, a comprehensive characterization of the unique and shared neuroanatomical signatures of these...

Loss of M1 acetylcholine receptor-mediated orexinergic activity contributes to immune dysfunction in experimental sepsis

<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Background</italic>: Sepsis (life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection) causes millions of deaths worldwide annually. Sepsis-induced changes in brain regulatory functions remain understudied. Previous wo...
