Inter-Model Variability of ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude in Treatment Recommendations for Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract Patients increasingly consult large language models (LLMs) before specialist review, yet whether frontier models agree with one another in nuanced clinical domains such as unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) management remains uncharacterised. We therefore quantified...

Supporting young children impacted by trauma: A mixed-methods study of early childhood professionals’ trauma-informed knowledge, confidence and wellbeing

Despite growing awareness of the prevalence and impacts of childhood trauma, the understanding of early childhood professionals’ preparedness to work with trauma-impacted children is limited. This study aimed to explore early childhood professionals’ professional capacity (knowle...

Does Board Gender Diversity at Target Firms Influence Acquisition Outcomes? Us Evidence

ABSTRACT Using US public‐to‐public mergers and acquisitions from 1999 to 2022, we examine how board gender diversity at target firms influences acquisition outcomes. Firms with gender‐diverse boards are less likely to receive acquisition bids; when they do, they command higher pr...

Pervasive sublethal impacts of heat exposure revealed by telomere dynamics

Abstract Predicting species responses to anthropogenic environmental change remains one of the most pressing and complex challenges in contemporary biology. While mass mortality events and localized extinctions have been linked to global warming, the more elusive and probably com...

Insomnia treatment preferences of older adults and people living with dementia: A qualitative study

Background Insomnia is common in people living with dementia and older adults. While clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological treatment as first-line therapy, insomnia is often managed with benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRAs), which carry a significant risk of medic...

fishROI: a specialized workflow for semi-automated muscle morphometry analysis in teleosts

Abstract Background Quantitative histological analysis of skeletal muscle morphometry provides critical insights into muscle physiology but remains labor-intensive and technically demanding. While recent developments in machine learning-based image segmentation techniques have fa...

Surface‐Charge‐Regulated Porous Water for Interfacial Phase‐Transition Control

ABSTRACT Angstrom‐confined water in porous scaffolds is sensitive to interfacial electrostatics, yet cross‐material predictability is limited because pore geometry and surface chemistry change simultaneously. This work introduces Surface‐Charge‐Regulated Porous Water (SCR‐PW) as...

When Dialogue Fails: Arguing With the Rabbi

Abstract It has conventionally been assumed that there are no limits to ethical discourse: that is, that no matter how difficult or fraught the questions being asked some common ground can always be found. This has been thought to arise from fundamental shared values and the cond...

Institutional Fear of Falling—Causes, Consequences, and Cures

This Viewpoint describes the common institutional problem of patient falls, cautions that efforts to prevent them may cause harm, and suggests a focus on safe mobility and a reframing of messaging around fall risk to improve health outcomes.

scTransMIL bridges patient-level disease states and single-cell transcriptomics for cancer screening and heterogeneity inference

Single-cell sequencing offers profound insights into tumor complexity. However, reliably linking individual cellular profiles to overall sample-level phenotypes remains computationally challenging, particularly when cell-specific annotations are absent. This disconnect limits the...

Analyzing and Mitigating Asymmetric Learning for Product Cold-Start in E-Commerce Purchase Prediction with Graph Neural Networks: Similarity-Driven History Augmentation

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become a foundational tool for e-commerce recommendation systems, yet they consistently fail in zero-shot cold-start scenarios where new products enter the market without prior interactions. In this paper, we diagnose this failure as a structural...

Engineered Orthogonal Translation Systems from Metagenomic Libraries Expand the Genetic Code

Abstract Genetic code expansion with noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) opens new opportunities for the design and engineering of proteins by broadening their chemical repertoire. Unfortunately, ncAA incorporation into proteins is limited both by a small collection of orthogonal am...

Three-dimensional analysis of a single-step cylinder wake via stereoscopic particle image velocimetry

The present experimental study investigates the turbulent flow field past a single-step cylinder, characterized by a fixed ratio r between the large diameter D and the small diameter d equal to 2, for multiple values of the Reynolds number: R e D = 3000,5000 , and 7000. To recons...

AI Literacies for Adults in a GenAI Intensive Workforce: A Thematic Literature Review (2022–2026)

ABSTRACT Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reconfiguring professional practice, everyday decision making, and adult learning across virtually every sector. This thematic literature review synthesizes research published between 2022 and 2026 on the skills and u...

The Development of Non‐Tuberculosis Mycobacterial Infections in Sézary Syndrome: A Case Report of Two Patients

ABSTRACT Sézary syndrome (SS) is a rare cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma associated with increased risks of opportunistic and atypical infections. This report presents two patients with SS and concurrent non‐tuberculosis mycobacterial cutaneous infections. Although rare, difficult to di...

Deprescribing interventions in older adults with cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction Polypharmacy and use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in older adults with cancer are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Deprescribing is a structured, patient-centred intervention for reducing PIMs; however, the outcomes of deprescribi...

North to south or south to north: what was the dispersal direction of two Mesozoic mammal groups?

Numerous mammalian biogeographers since the late 19th Century have envisioned that major mammalian groups originated in the Northern Hemisphere and subsequently dispersed to the Southern Hemisphere. A small number of Mesozoic mammalian fossils reported from the Southern Hemispher...

Health workforce retention in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in high-income countries: a rapid realist review

It is vital to reduce avoidable turnover and optimise retention of healthcare staff in Australian remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services. However, evidence informing the implementation of retention interventions is limited as existing literature inadequately...

Combining Implementation and Data Sciences to Accelerate Evidence Integration into Healthcare – ImpleMATE

Background The translation of research evidence into routine healthcare practice is often slow and inconsistent, even timely implementation can significantly improve patient outcomes. While implementation science offers strategies to close this gap, current approaches are frequen...

Inulin-modified nano selenium biocomposite with dual-targeting capability mitigates polystyrene nanoplastic-induced hepatic ferroptosis

The mutually benefiting relationship between the environment and human health is under threat from the rapid accumulation and trophic transfer of fragmented plastics. While the in vivo presence and adverse effects of nanoplastics in the environment have been increasingly document...
