Integrative clinical–genomic modeling evaluates exploratory Non-APOE candidate signals in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a genetic architecture dominated by APOE , while predictive modeling in clinically enriched cohorts is often driven by neuropsychological and clinical variables. This combination limits the interpretability of secondary genetic signals...

The Impact of High-Temperature and High-Pressure Steaming Treatment on Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activity in American Ginseng

Thermal processing facilitates the transformation of major ginsenosides into rare ginsenosides, thereby enhancing the bioactive molecular profile of American ginseng. This study examined the impact of 1–4 cycles of high-temperature and high-pressure steaming (HTHPS) on ginsenosid...

A quality appraisal of clinical practice guidelines for herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia using the AGREE II instrument

Background: This study systematically assesses the methodological quality of both Western and traditional medicine clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) using the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) inst...

Effects of a Pilates-Based Multicomponent Exercise Program on Fall-Risk-Related Physical Fitness and Psychological Variables in Older Adults at Lifelong Education Facilities

Background and Objectives: South Korea is experiencing rapid population aging, leading to elderly isolation, depression, and rising healthcare costs related to falls. Although exercise is recognized as a preventive measure, the short-term functional and psychological benefits of...

A systematic approach to quantitative nanoscale mass spectrometry using atomic force microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables mass sensing through resonance-frequency changes of microcantilevers, but quantitative measurements can be affected by calibration and environmental factors. Here, we investigated whether a calibrated AFM cantilever and controlled mass loadin...

Health Policy for Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome in Asian Health Systems: Three Design Principles, Three Binding Constraints, and the Governance That Decides between Them

Background: Obesity drives metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic disease in Asia, where complications develop at lower levels of adiposity than in Western populations. We reviewed Asian obesity policies to identify design features that support their durability and how access to...

Nonlinear Electro‐Optic Visible Photonic Circuits for Solid‐State Quantum Defects

Integrated visible photonic engines for solid-state quantum defects provide a foundation for scalable quantum networks. While miniaturization is advancing, active manipulation remains limited by the difficulty of achieving simultaneous milliwatt-scale visible light generation and...

Air purifier performance in an occupied office: Field CADR and effectiveness from a reconstructed device-off condition

Air-purifier performance in an occupied building is hard to assess because the indoor concentration without the device cannot be observed under the same conditions. This study reconstructs that device-off condition from long-term field measurements in an occupied office. Two sequ...

Development of a PLA/PBAT/pomelo peel-based antibacterial and antioxidant multilayer film for fresh raspberry preservation

Globally, large amounts of fruit peel waste from food processing remain underutilized. Therefore, in this study, an active packaging layer was manufactured from discarded pomelo peels using a simple, one-step thermocompression process. This active packaging layer (PPF) was then f...

Single‐Crystal Helical Covalent Polymers with Organic Counter Cations

ABSTRACT Helical polymers, central to many bioactive molecules and polymers, offer distinctive functional properties, yet the precise synthesis and atomic‐level characterization of artificial helical covalent polymers (HCPs) remain challenging. Here, we demonstrate that soft orga...

Routine Nutritional, Inflammatory, and Redox-Related Biomarker Abnormality Burden Is Associated with Lower 12-Week Physical Performance After Cholecystectomy in Rehabilitation Outpatients

Simple tools for characterizing functional vulnerability after cholecystectomy are lacking, particularly among patients referred for outpatient rehabilitation. We examined whether a cumulative count of routine nutritional, inflammatory, and redox-related biomarker abnormalities a...

Maternal Influenza Infection During Pregnancy and Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Offspring

Importance Evidence on maternal influenza infection during pregnancy and offspring neuropsychiatric risk remains inconsistent and limited by methodologic concerns. Objective To evaluate the association of maternal influenza infection during pregnancy and offspring neuropsychiatri...

Projected Primal–Dual Gradient Preference Optimization Under Category-Wise Split-Conformal Safety Constraints for Large Language Model Post-Training

Preference optimisation improves helpfulness, but a single aggregate safety penalty lets frequent harm categories dominate the objective while rare ones bear the residual risk. This paper models post-training as a vector-constrained programme: the pairwise preference loss is mini...

Observed Clinical and Operational Factors Are Associated with Biomarker Test Utilization in Respiratory Virus RT-PCR Testing: A Real-World Analysis of Inflammatory, Cardiac, and Thrombotic Biomarkers

Background/Objectives: Routinely collected biomarker data are generated through selective testing. We examined associations of observed clinical and operational factors with biomarker availability and explored the incremental discrimination provided by biomarker concentrations fo...

SLC39-driven zinc influx orchestrates pleiotropic tumor–immune system cross-talk to establish immune suppression in colorectal cancer

Tumor metabolic programs shape immune evasion; however, the mechanism by which nutrient-transport systems rewire tumor-immune cell interactions remains unknown. We integrated bulk multi-omics, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial profiling, and functional assays for colorectal ca...

Aggregate risk assessment of bisphenols A, S, and F among the general Korean population

Bisphenol A (BPA) and its substitutes Bisphenol S (BPS) and Bisphenol F (BPF) have been identified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals that affects reproductive functions. In Korea, BPA use has been restricted, resulting in increased utilisation of BPS and BPF as alternatives. Howe...

Exposure to residential greenness and subsequent risk of common mental disorders among individuals with COVID-19 in South Korea: A nationwide cohort study

Background Residential greenness is considered protective for mental health, but its impact on clinically diagnosed psychiatric disorders following COVID-19 remains unclear. This study investigated the association between residential greenness and risk of common mental disorders...

Eco-friendly anodic exfoliation of graphite via a dual-salt electrolyte for high-loading and fast-charging lithium-ion battery anodes

Sustainable mass production of high-quality graphene is essential for its use as a conductive additive in high-power energy storage systems, as conventional synthesis often causes structural damage and environmental toxicity. Here, we report an eco-friendly anodic electrochemical...

Title RER-Q: Reading a Quantized KV Cache with Fresh Samples at Every Decoding Step

In long-context decoding the model reads its whole key–value (KV) cache at every step, and the bytes read per step set the step time, most of all when the cache is offloaded to host memory and read over PCIe. We present RER-Q (Resample-Every-Read with Quantized storage). It store...
