Antifungal pulse therapy for onychomycosis: a narrative review

PURPOSE: Onychomycosis is a common chronic fungal infection of the nail unit that may be associated with significant functional impairment and impaired quality of life. Systemic antifungal drugs remain the cornerstone of treatment for moderate-to-severe disease, with continuous o...

Mutual Learning across heterogeneous architectures for image classification

For image classification, feature-level mutual learning has remained largely limited to models from the same architecture family. Because the classification objective maps the entire input image to a single class probability distribution, each architecture independently optimizes...

Prescriptive Target Matching Across Hearing Aid Technology Generations: A Real-Ear Insertion Gain Analysis

Background: Advances in hearing aid technology may improve prescriptive target matching, but whether newer devices better match targets remains unclear. This study compared prescriptive target matching across hearing aid technology generations. Methods: This secondary analysis in...

Parametric sensitivity and variability-aware evaluation of CNTFET Full adders for robust nanoelectronic design

Abstract Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) offer a promising pathway beyond silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), yet comprehensive circuit-level evaluations addressing statistical process variability and system-level validation remain scarce. T...

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Kannada version of the Extended Effort Assessment Scale (EEAS-K) in adults with hearing loss

Introduction The Extended Effort Assessment Scale (EEAS) is a recently developed questionnaire for measuring listening effort, but a validated version for Kannada speakers is lacking. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate the EEAS for the...
