How Medical School Experiences Bias Specialty Selection: Perspectives From Current U.S. Otolaryngology Residents

Objectives: This study examined the medical school experiences of current U.S. otolaryngology residents to better understand gender biases that may persist within the specialty and to inform strategies that could improve workforce excellence. Methods: A voluntary, IRB-approved su...

Global policy determinants of national human papillomavirus vaccine introductions in 2006–2025

BACKGROUND: Although safe and effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been available since 2006, national introduction in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has progressed slowly. HPV vaccine adoption may have been shaped by evolving World Health Organization (WH...

Associations between social determinants of health and clinical diagnosis time of uterine fibroids and endometriosis: a cross-sectional electronic health record-based study

This study characterizes the association between self-reported race/ethnicity, insurance type, and preferred language with clinical diagnosis time for uterine fibroids (UF) and endometriosis patients, defined as time from first symptom consultation to diagnosis date. We extracted...

The PancreaSure Multianalyte Blood Test Performs Well at Distinguishing Early-Stage Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma from High-Risk Controls: A Retrospective Secondary Analysis

Background/Objectives: Biomarkers that can facilitate early detection of pancreatic cancer and extend patient survival are a significant unmet need. PancreaSure is a serum biomarker signature that performed well at distinguishing Stage I and II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (P...

Improving Wideband Massive MIMO Channel Estimation With UAV State-Space Information

Published in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (2025). Proposes wideband massive MIMO channel estimation exploiting UAV state-space information. Related to EUSOME WP4 T4.1.1 sensing research.

Peripheral sudomotor reflex activity as a candidate autonomic biomarker for psychosis: associations with symptoms and cognition

Background Abnormalities in Autonomic Nervous System activity are well described in psychosis but their peripheral versus CNS origins remains unresolved. However, the purely peripheral component of the sudomotor sweat reflex can be quantified using the Quantitative Sudomotor Axon...

NAST 2.0: Magnetic Field Effects and Marcus–Levich–Jortner Theory for Complex Open-Shell Systems

Abstract We present a new version of the nast software package for predicting the kinetics of unimolecular spin-dependent processes, including intersystem crossings, spin-forbidden reactions, and spin crossovers with nonadiabatic statistical theory. With substantial extensions an...

Optimising a digitally delivered behavioural weight loss programme: a factorial cluster randomised controlled trial

Abstract Digital interventions are widely used for weight management, so optimising their effectiveness and retention is vital. This 2⁴ factorial trial tested four components added to a commercial programme: a health coach introductory call, coaching webchat sessions, goal-settin...

Discounting timing strategies

A variety of timing strategies shown to generate alpha and high Sharpe ratios at the monthly horizon exhibit substantially deteriorated performance at longer investment horizons. The effect is large: multi-factor alphas are more than halved going from one-month to 10-year returns...

Tangier Disease

Abstract Purpose of Review We describe two patients with Tangier disease (TD) and provide a narrative review of its clinical features, genetics, diagnosis, and management. A literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar was performed to identify English-language publications on...

Adolescents’ Experiences of Online Harms by Platform

Importance Concerns about the risks adolescents face online are rising, and existing research on online harms rarely examines platform-level differences. Objective To estimate the prevalence of negative experiences reported by US adolescents online, offline, and across 20 differe...

Trends in missing responses to suicide-related indicators among U.S. adolescents by race/ethnicity and sex, 2001-2021

OBJECTIVES: Missingness to suicide-related survey items may bias adolescent suicide surveillance and limit subgroup comparisons. Prevalence and trends of missingness to suicide-related indicators were examined among U.S. adolescents from 2001 to 2021. STUDY DESIGN: Trend analysis...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances levels other than PFOS, PFOA, or PFHxS and liver cancer risk: a nested case-control analysis

Abstract Epidemiologic studies of PFAS and liver cancer risk have produced conflicting results with no strong or clear associations for pre-diagnostic perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS). We now report analyses of nine...

Pancreatic Cancer Screening and Early Detection: Where Are We Now?

Screening for pancreatic cancer with imaging techniques in high-risk individuals—including patients with a genetic predisposition, a family history, or precursor lesions—is critical for improving early detection and survival outcomes, and multimodal strategies that integrate AI-e...

The Sphinx’s Solutions: Edward Wilmot Blyden, Orientalism, and the Regeneration of Africa

Abstract In this article, I examine how the idea of “regeneration” appears in Edward Wilmot Blyden’s canonical work, Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race (1887). More specifically, I contextualize the saliency of this idea for an Afro-Victorian thinker like Blyden and how he in...

Genotype-driven tumor ecosystems drive immune evasion and immunotherapy resistance in melanoma

Genetic and transcriptional alterations in cancer cells shape their interactions with immune and stromal compartments, thereby influencing tumor progression, immune evasion, and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Yet, how these interactions are spatially organized w...

\({\mathcal{H}}_{2}\)-Optimal Model Reduction of Linear Quadratic-Output Systems by Multivariate Rational Interpolation

Abstract. This paper addresses the [Formula: see text]-optimal approximation of linear dynamical systems with quadratic-output functions, also known as linear quadratic-output systems. Our major contributions are threefold. First, we derive interpolatory first-order optimality co...

Factors Protecting Against Co-Occurring Pain, Psychological, and Somatic Symptom Trajectories in Adolescence

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative impact of multilevel protective factors on co-occurring pain, psychological, and somatic symptom (co-PPSS) trajectories from late childhood through early adolescence. METHODS: We conducted secondary analyses of longitudinal Adolescent Brain Co...

What we talk to when we talk to language models

When we talk to large language models, who or what is our interlocutor? First, I address some issues about how best to characterize the interlocutor in terms of mental states. Second, I discuss questions in the philosophy of computation about what sort of AI system an LLM interlo...

Protocol for high-sensitivity detection of microRNAs in adult Drosophila tissues using hybridization chain reaction

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and cell-fate determination. Here, we present a protocol for detecting miRNAs in Drosophila gonadal tissues using an optimized hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-based approach. We describe steps for using...
