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...

Predictors and prevalence of support for white nationalism in the United States

Abstract White nationalism has become increasingly visible in American public life 1–10 . Yet we lack knowledge of the predictors and prevalence of explicit support for this ideology, as survey research has treated it as a latent construct captured through indirect indicators 11–...

Unearthing Indigenous Seed Collections: The State of Ethnobotanical Holdings in US Museums and University Repositories

Abstract Indigenous communities and scholars are calling for archaeologists and museum professionals to critically assess stewardship of Indigenous agricultural seeds and ethnobotanical collections housed in museums and other institutions and the rematriation of these important c...

WorMa: An Undulatory Robot With Center of Mass Regulation via Internal Fluid Redistribution for Amphibious Locomotion

Undulatory robots are capable terrestrial locomotors, yet none have demonstrated locomotion that includes both water entry and exit. We present WorMa, an amphibious undulatory robot that uses internal fluid redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism, shifting the cen...

Epidemiology of Postoperative Pneumonia in Pediatric Inpatient Surgery: An ACS NSQIP-P Analysis

OBJECTIVE: Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a serious surgical complication associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Although well described in adult surgical populations, the epidemiology of POP in children remains less clearly defined. Our objectiv...

Airway protease availability governs a reversible shift between syncytial and cell-free spread

ABSTRACT Paramyxoviruses such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human parainfluenza virus 3 (HPIV3) spread in the airway by releasing virions and by forming syncytia. Spread phenotypes are typically attributed to the fusion protein cleavage site, yet it remains unclear whe...

Exchange: What Can We Learn from Two Decades of Everyday Nationalism?

Abstract In their landmark article on nationalism in the everyday, Jon E. Fox and Cynthia Miller-Idriss (2008a, 537) set out an ambitious research agenda which endeavored to observe “the actual practices through which ordinary people engage and enact (and ignore and deflect) nati...

Does Civic Education Impact Primary School Students’ Civic Outcomes? Experimental Evidence from Liberia

We present experimental evidence on a civic education program in Liberia’s public primary schools across 140 schools serving grades 3 and 4. The program provided new civic textbooks, teacher training, twice-weekly instruction, and regular classroom monitoring. After one school ye...

Sharp cell type boundaries emerge from coordinated morphogen signaling

Classic models of the French flag problem depict sharp cell type boundaries emerging from threshold responses to morphogen gradients. How discrete cell type boundaries arise from morphogen signals that vary continuously across developing tissues remains incompletely understood. W...

Beyond Chronological Age: A Scoping Review of Neurosurgical Intervention for Central Nervous System Tumors in the Very Elderly

Adults aged 75 years or older are increasingly considered for neurosurgical treatment of primary central nervous system tumors, yet the evidence guiding treatment selection remains fragmented. We conducted a scoping review of PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Scopus, and Web of Scienc...

The Map and the Territory: A Constructive History of Mathematical Physics

Version 1.1 (02/09/2026) This essay tells the story of 150 years of mathematical physics from an unfamiliar angle. A machine-verified research programme — approximately 11,000 lines of formally checked proofs in the Lean 4 proof assistant — has established that every empirical pr...

Leveraging prompt-driven generative AI for systematic reviews in digital psychiatry: A stage-matched comparative proof-of-concept for healthcare researchers and clinicians

The scale and pace of evidence generation in digital psychiatry increasingly exceed the capacity of traditional systematic literature review (SLR) methods. Large language models (LLMs) are gaining traction in evidence synthesis, yet limited guidance exists for integrating generat...

Performance of the iBox Prognostication System in African American Kidney Transplant Recipients

Background: The iBox is a validated prognostication system that predicts long-term death-censored graft loss in kidney transplant recipients, but its performance in the specific population of African American recipients has not been fully studied. Methods: We conducted a multicen...

Reducing Adverse Marijuana Use Among Young Women in a Community Setting: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

Marijuana use among older adolescents, particularly African American women, is associated with adverse health outcomes and frequently co-occurs with alcohol use and sexual risk behaviors. Evidence-based interventions targeting alcohol and sexual risk rarely evaluate their impact...

3D-Printed Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) Binder-Based Self-Hardening Calcium Phosphate Bone Scaffolds

Three-dimensionally (3D)-printed alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) scaffolds, fabricated through a low-temperature hydrothermal dissolution-precipitation process, replicate the structural and compositional features of native bone. Reinforcing hydrothermally processed α-TCP with...

Hospital-Level Determinants of Mortality After Pancreas Surgery

OBJECTIVE: To identify modifiable hospital-level determinants of mortality after pancreas surgery and assess their cumulative protective effects through the development of a Hospital Resource Index (HRI) on a global scale. BACKGROUND: Ninety-day mortality rates after pancreas sur...

A Health Coach–Based Multilevel Personalized Strategy Lowers Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Enhances Lipid Control in Veterans With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Background The Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System is 1 of 50 Veterans Affairs sites participating in the Veterans Affairs Lipid Optimization Reimagined Quality Improvement Project. Veterans Affairs sites worked with an American Heart Association quality improvemen...

Impact of hormone therapy on mood in a real-world clinical setting: a retrospective observational study

Objective: Mood disturbances—including depressed mood, irritability, anxiety, and mental exhaustion—are common during the menopause transition, affecting up to 68% of women. While menopausal hormone therapy (HT) is FDA-approved for vasomotor and genitourinary symptoms, its role i...

Review of Hypoxemia Quantification Methods for Assessing the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract Purpose of Review Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common nocturnal breathing disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxemia. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is the most widely used cl...

Redox-Driven Antiaromaticity Enables Multistate Conductance in 1D Topological Insulators

Abstract Conjugated molecules with diradical character have emerged as promising building blocks for high-conductance single-molecule electronics because of their behavior as 1D topological insulators. However, the impact of antiaromaticity on these radical-based edge states has...
