Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of ARSACS: An Atypical Adolescent-Onset Presentation with Compound Heterozygous SACS Variants

Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in SACS.Initially described in the French-Canadian population, ARSACS is now recognized worldwide and ranks among the most co...

Sensitivity of municipal heatwave vulnerability assessment to population density: Urban-rural spatial shifts in South Korea

As heatwaves become an increasingly recurrent hazard, accurate assessment of local heatwave vulnerability has become increasingly important. This study examined the sensitivity of the heatwave vulnerability index to the inclusion of population density in terms of entropy weights,...

A Descriptive Case Study of Nuruk Manufactured from the Wheat Cultivar ‘Wooju’: Comparison with Commercial and Reference Nuruks

Nuruk, a traditional Korean fermentation starter, largely determines the quality of makgeolli; however, data on nuruk produced from novel wheat cultivars remain limited. In this descriptive case study, nuruk made from the novel wheat cultivar ‘Wooju’ (A) was characterized alongsi...

Position-specific differences in match performance of elite U-17 soccer players using GPS-derived external load data: focus on forwards and defenders

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate differences in match performance characteristics between forwards and defenders among elite U-17 soccer players using Global Positioning System (GPS)-derived data.[Methods] This study included 37 elite U-17 soccer players r...

Coupling root-zone osmotic monitoring with dynamic behavioral tariffs: A spatiotemporal eco-hydroeconomic allocation framework for salinity mitigation and groundwater resilience

Static conjunctive use allocation fixes surface water and groundwater ratios from historical averages, and in arid irrigation systems this rigidity intensifies root zone salinity and accelerates aquifer depletion by ignoring the interaction between salt accumulation, conveyance l...

Human milk-derived Limosilactobacillus reuteri improved growth performance of weaned pigs by modulating systemic immune responses and enhancing intestinal health

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of human milk-derived Limosilactobacillus reuteri (REU) on growth performance, frequency of diarrhea, and systemic and intestinal health parameters of weaned pigs. Dietary supplementation of REU had greater (P =...

Biomimetic Mustard Seed-Inspired Brush-Free Alternative for Effective Endoscope Channel Cleaning and Decontamination

Inadequate cleaning of flexible endoscope channels remains a major cause of healthcare-associated infections despite established reprocessing protocols. We developed biomimetic carbon balls inspired by mustard seed surface features as a brush-free adjunct for endoscope channel cl...
