From Chronology to Physiology: A Critical Translational Assessment of Artificial Intelligence for Precision Healthspan Measurement

Healthspan, the period of life free from major chronic disease and disability, is a central geroscience outcome, yet its prediction remains difficult due to its multidimensional and heterogeneous nature. In this review, we synthesize advances in artificial intelligence (AI) for p...

Outcomes of Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Therapy for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Kazakhstan

Background: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss among older adults. Although randomised controlled trials have demonstrated the robust efficacy of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) thera...

Early Sensory Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes: Vibration Perception Abnormalities in Patients Without Neuropathic Symptoms

Background/Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with peripheral sensory dysfunction, and sensory abnormalities may develop before the onset of clinically apparent neuropathic symptoms. This study aimed to compare vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) between...

Eleven-Year Trends in Stillbirth, Neonatal and Infant Mortality and Birthweight-Specific Risk: A BABIES Matrix Analysis from a Tertiary Maternity Center in Kazakhstan, 2015–2025

Background/Objectives: Long-run facility-level perinatal data from Central Asia are scarce. We described eleven years of stillbirth, neonatal, infant and perinatal mortality at one tertiary maternity center in Kazakhstan, and used the Birthweight and Age-at-death Boxes for Interv...

Factors associated with spontaneous and iatrogenic preterm birth in Kazakhstan: implications for subtype–specific surveillance and prevention

Background Preterm birth (PTB) remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Distinguishing spontaneous preterm birth (SPB) from iatrogenic preterm birth (IPB) is important because these subtypes differ in their clinical characteristics and may require di...

Role of Acid Structure in Structure–Property Relationships of Reprocessable Epoxidized Soybean Oil Thermosetting Networks

Thermosetting polymers offer excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical integrity, but their permanent covalent crosslinks limit recyclability and reprocessability. In this work, ESO-based vitrimer-like polyester networks were synthesized from epoxidized soy...

Systemic Sarcoidosis With Neurosarcoidosis and Obstructive Hydrocephalus: A Radiologic–Pathologic Case Report

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas, most commonly affecting the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Central nervous system involvement (neurosarcoidosis) is rare but associated with significant morbidity and mortality, parti...
