Pan-retinal pathology detection in oct scans integrating natural language synthesis with diagnostic annotation

Abstract While OCT is pivotal for macular disease diagnosis, its adoption in primary care is limited by AI systems that cannot simultaneously analyze multi-sectional scans across the full spectrum of maculopathies or generate diagnostically integrated reports. Here we present iOC...

Charge Separation Engineering via ZnCdS/CoNiPPc Schottky Heterojunction to Achieve Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Coupled with Benzaldehyde Production

To address common challenges in photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen (H 2 ) production, such as slow hole consumption kinetics and uncontrolled oxidative side reactions, we have designed an innovative Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/bimetallic cobalt/nickel polyphthalocyanine (denoted as...

Cation‐Engineered Narrow‐Band Green Emitting Phosphor Toward High‐Performance Laser‐Driven Displays

ABSTRACT Wide color gamut and high brightness are critical performance metrics for advanced displays like projectors. Combining narrow‐band green and red color converters with a blue laser‐driven light source is one of the most effective solutions to achieve these goals. In this...

Stage-aligned electro-ionic biobattery hydrogel for enhanced wound closure and scar reduction

Coupling electrical stimulation (ES) with biochemical signaling is attractive for coordinating multi-stage wound healing, yet existing biobatteries rarely deliver stable microcurrents with stage-aligned chemical therapy in a scalable format. Here, we report a 3D-printed zinc-iron...

Causal association between air pollution and functional outcome after ischemic stroke: Evidence from 2-sample MR study

Observational studies have shown that air pollution may affect functional outcome following ischemic stroke. Our study aimed to explore the relationship between genetically predicted specific air pollutants and poststroke functional outcomes using the Mendelian randomization (MR)...

The Shape-SelectiveSuspension–Deposition Differentiationof Microplastics in an Air–Snow System: Insights from a NortheasternPolluted City in China

Abstract Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized as important atmospheric pollutants, yet the role of particle physical properties in their suspension–deposition differentiation remains unclear. Here, MPs were simultaneously investigated in 31 total-suspended-...

Evaluation of the Impact of Aged Biomass Burning Emissions on the Global Ozone From the Surface to the Lower Stratosphere

Abstract Biomass burning (BB) is a major global sources of ozone (O 3 ) precursors, including nitrogen oxides (NO x ), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here, we combine Community Earth System Model 1 with airborne measurements from the NASA Atmospheric...

Optimal FBG Sensor Layout Assessment for Accurate Structural Feature Recognition of Composite Plates

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in aerospace, rail transportation, and energy engineering owing to their high specific strength and corrosion resistance. However, their complex and interacting damage mechanisms, including delamination and m...

Lateral Transperitoneal Versus Posterior Retroperitoneoscopic Adrenalectomy for Adrenal Tumors: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy of lateral transperitoneal adrenalectomy (LTA) versus posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) and to explore suitable surgical approaches for different patients. Methods: This pr...

Food Supplements in Osteoarthritis: A Practical Framework for Discussing Evidence with Patients

The treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), a leading cause of disability worldwide, is increasingly integrating nutritional strategies that appear to offer the opportunity to significantly improve the quality of care. Patients are also aware of this and often seek clarification and ad...

Baseline Response Characterization and Relative Vertical Displacement Reconstruction of Multi-Layer Asphalt Pavements Based on Quasi-Distributed FBG Monitoring Information

Internal responses of multilayer pavement structures are difficult to characterize using surface-based inspection alone. This study investigates a scaled multilayer pavement model instrumented with embedded quasi-distributed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing lines to obtain basel...

Trends and Lagged Cumulative Associations Between Vegetation NDVI and Extreme Climate Indices in the Yangtze River Basin: A 41-Year Observational Analysis
