Electrochemical Dual-Sensing Platform for HLA-B*13:01 Detection to Prevent Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCARs) Induced by Dapsone and Cotrimoxazole

Abstract The HLA-B*13:01 allele is a critical biomarker for dapsone- and cotrimoxazole-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). Overcoming the limitations of centralized laboratory screening, we developed a portable electrochemical dual-sensing platform (EDP) for the s...

Hunting for Helminths: short- and long-read shotgun metagenomics for helminth detection in faecal samples

Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) pose significant challenges to public health in endemic areas, necessitating reliable methods for their detection. Shotgun metagenomics enables simultaneous detection of STHs and microbes in a sample without prior knowledge of what is present. Ho...

Incremental improvement in chest compression performance following brief BLS training after dispatcher-assisted CPR exposure

Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including video-assisted (V-CPR) and telephone-assisted CPR (T-CPR), can improve bystander performance, but CPR quality often remains suboptimal. This study evaluated whether a brief basic life support (BLS) training interv...

Too much of a good thing? Understanding customer engagement in wellness services through an inverted U-shaped lens

This study examined how customer engagement in wellness tourism services shapes emotional and behavioural outcomes, such as life satisfaction and revisit intentions. This study also proposed self-efficacy and social media sharing as moderator variables of these relationships. Dat...

Anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory potential of 2-chloro-3-((4-hydroxyphenyl)amino)naphthalene-1,4-dione through targeting TNF-α/IL-8 and NF-κB signaling in HCT116 cancer cells: a comprehensive in silico docking and in vitro study

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely associated with chronic inflammation, and the NF-κB pathway acts as a central regulator of the inflammatory response that promotes tumor progression. In this study, we examined the anticancer and anti-inflammatory potential of anilino-1,4-naphth...

Effectiveness of palliative care integrated with digital health interventions on nursing-sensitive outcomes among family caregivers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Family caregivers play a central role in palliative care, yet they often experience high burden and reduced quality of life. Palliative care is essential for addressing the holistic needs of patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families; however, access to tim...

Ballistic Resistance of Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composite: A Critical Review

This review examines the ballistic resistance of fiber-reinforced cement composites (FRCs) and related cementitious systems for protective structures, with emphasis on projectile–target interaction, penetration and scabbing mechanisms, and the governing roles of material and stru...

Design and evaluation of an AR-integrated STEM-BCG learning kit to foster creative problem solving in secondary chemistry education

Chemistry education faces significant challenges in helping students visualize abstract molecular concepts, creating cognitive barriers that hinder understanding and application of theoretical knowledge to real-world sustainability problems. This study aimed to design an AR-integ...

Opisthorchis viverrini infection is associated with kidney injury involving excretory–secretory product-mediated inflammation, oxidative stress, and hypoxia

Opisthorchis viverrini infection is primarily associated with hepatobiliary disease, but its renal consequences remain poorly defined. We investigated kidney injury in chronically infected Syrian golden hamsters using biochemical, histological, ultrastructural, and transcriptomic...

Phoenix Sepsis Score as a prognostic tool for mortality in immunocompromised children with sepsis and septic shock: a six-year study from a Thai referral center

Immunocompromised children with sepsis and septic shock face substantially higher mortality rates. This study aimed to evaluate the Phoenix Sepsis Score as a prognostic tool for mortality and to identify factors associated with mortality in immunocompromised children with sepsis...

Chemopreventive effect of arachidin-rich extract from peanut hairy root cultures on inflammation-induced cholangiocarcinogenesis in a cytokine-treated biliary cell model

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly prevalent malignancy in Southeast Asia and is strongly associated with chronic biliary inflammation. Preventive strategies targeting early inflammation-driven carcinogenic events are therefore of great interest. Arachidin-rich extracts derived...

Modality-aware differentially private federated learning for partially observed multimodal healthcare prediction

Multimodal healthcare prediction can benefit from combining structured electronic health records, medical imaging, and acquisition-related metadata, but these modalities are often incompletely observed across patients and unevenly distributed across clinical sites. Federated lear...

Molecular and functional responses of milk-derived polymorphonuclear neutrophils from subclinical mastitis quarters to β-hydroxybutyric acid at the subclinical ketosis threshold in vitro

Subclinical ketosis (SCK), a prevalent metabolic disorder in dairy cattle characterized by elevated β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) levels without clinical signs, is linked to increased susceptibility to postpartum infections such as mastitis. During mammary inflammation, circulatin...

HER2-low metastatic breast cancers: clinic-pathological characteristics, metastatic sites, and survival impact on biomarker discordance

Abstract Trastuzumab Deruxtecan has shown promising results in patients with HER2-low and -ultralow (UL) metastatic breast cancers, attracting extensive research on these tumors. While most studies focus on primary tumors, there is limited data on metastatic disease. Here, we aim...

Negotiation as discipline: the constitution of the early childhood subject in Thai digital households

Within the cultural politics of digital childhood, much is now known about what young children do with screens and how much. Less attention has been paid to what kind of self the child is being given the conditions to become where parental authority operates through negotiation r...
