Symmetry-AdaptedRelaxation Theory (SART): VariationalEmbedding for Convergent Infinite-Order Induction without Overpolarization

Abstract The induction part of intermolecular interaction energy describes the effect of the mutual polarization of subsystems. Low-order induction effects can be reasonably described by symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT), but the capture of important higher-order polari...

Experiences and satisfaction with intensive community care services for children and adolescents with severe mental health disorders: a mixed-methods systematic review

Abstract Intensive community care services (ICCS) are community-based alternatives to inpatient care for young people with severe mental health disorders. This systematic review investigated the experiences and satisfaction associated with ICCS. Nine electronic databases were sea...

A Liberalism of Public Things

ABSTRACT The social democratic ideological tradition ‐ including the liberalism within it ‐ should be described more accurately and defended. Liberalism within social democracy is the liberalism of public things and of cooperation, and of pride in welcoming places, based on mutua...

Acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy: a critical synthesis of metabolic derangements and nutritional implications

Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects up to 50% of critically ill patients and is frequently complicated by severe metabolic derangements, requiring the initiation of replacement therapy (RRT) in 10–15% of cases. Despite substantial progress in the diagnosis of AKI and optimisation o...

One in seven has severe pain: a point-prevalence study of hospitalised patients across Africa

ABSTRACT: Acute pain in hospitalised patients is common, yet African data are scarce. We conducted a prospective point-prevalence study of hospitalised adult patients across Africa to determine acute pain prevalence and severity and investigate associations of pain with critical...

Mechanisms underpinning the progression of nondysplastic Barrett's oesophagus to cancer

Barrett's oesophagus is the metaplastic precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma; it is initiated by exposure of the squamous oesophageal epithelium to acid reflux. Wound repair mechanisms lead to the migration of columnar cells into the denuded lower oesophageal niche. These colu...

Management of high-risk (B3) breast lesions in symptomatic practice: evidence review and practical recommendations for multidisciplinary care

Borderline breast lesions (B3 lesions, also termed lesions of uncertain malignant potential or high-risk lesions) represent a heterogeneous group of entities associated with variable risks of malignancy. While the management of screen-detected B3 lesions has become increasingly s...

Automatic value learning results in counterproductive human behavior

Abstract Humans are adept at accurately estimating the value of available choices from accumulated experience. However, cognitive processing also incorporates irrelevant information during deliberation, undermining decision accuracy. Here, we show that credit assignment operates...

Remission of long-term conditions among adults with multiple long-term conditions in England primary care: A retrospective cohort study of 4.7 million people

Abstract Background Multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) are increasingly prevalent among UK adults, yet the extent to which remission of long-term conditions is recorded in routine primary care remains poorly understood. Accurate documentation of remission has implications for c...

Tell Your Story: Strengthening Scientific Engagement and Welfare Leadership among Animal Technologists

<ns5:p>Background Animal Technologists (ATs) are vital in the scientific community, offering crucial expertise in animal care, welfare, and experimental procedures. As projects become more complex, there is an increasing opportunity for ATs to engage actively in scientific projec...

Determinants of Pregnancy‐Related Misconceptions Among Pregnant Women in Urban Bangladesh: A Cross‐Sectional Study

ABSTRACT Introduction Pregnancy‐related misconceptions are common in low‐ and middle‐income countries and may adversely influence maternal behaviours. Evidence from urban populations is limited. This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of pregnancy‐related misconceptio...

Electrocatalytic Urea Waste Valorization via Water Electrolysis: Transition‐Metal Phosphides for Sustainable Hydrogen Production

ABSTRACT As global energy demand continues to grow along with increasing environmental challenges, the development of clean, sustainable, and eco‐friendly energy technologies has become imperative to sustain modern society. Urea‐assisted water electrolysis (UAWE) offers a sustain...

How does creative enquiry enable us to deal with uncertainty?

Abstract Background Uncertainty is an inherent and pervasive feature of medical practice. Here, uncertainty refers to the subjective perception and affective experience encountered by medical students and clinicians. Difficulties in managing uncertainty are associated with impair...

Meningioma of the foramen of Luschka choroid plexus presenting as glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A case report and review of the literature

Background: Meningiomas arising from the choroid plexus of the foramen of Luschka (CPFOL) without dural attachment are an exceedingly rare subtype of intracranial tumor. They present a significant diagnostic challenge, as their clinical and radiological features can mimic more co...

Clinical comparison of CAD/CAM nanohybrid composite and hybrid ceramic overlays in children with molar–incisor hypomineralisation: a split-mouth prospective randomized clinical trial

OBJECTIVES: This prospective, randomized, split-mouth clinical study aimed to compare the clinical performance and survival rates of CAD/CAM-fabricated nanohybrid composite overlays (NCOs) and hybrid ceramic overlays (HCOs) produced using a digital workflow in first permanent mol...

A controlled trial of a co-designed virtual reality experience to support wellbeing in students

Abstract Increasing rates of mental health problems among university students require innovative interventions. This study evaluated a multi-sensory, virtual reality (VR) intervention aimed at reducing stress and exam anxiety among students at a healthcare university in the UK. P...

Patterns of Autonomous and Conditional Neural Specification for the Brain and Ventral Nerve Cord in Annelida

ABSTRACT Evolution of central nervous systems is a long‐debated topic. Similar mechanisms of conditional neural specification linked to dorsal‐ventral (D–V) axis formation have been used to support homology across several taxa. We tested for autonomous versus conditional neural s...

Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Therapy in Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Multicenter Evaluation

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are among the most common neurosurgical pathologies. Older adults also often have comorbidities treated with anticoagulant and antiplatelet (ACAP) medications. Managing clinicians frequently must weigh the benefits and...

Understanding zoonotic spillover interfaces for the design of a One Health education intervention: a qualitative baseline study from rural Thailand

Abstract Background Prevention of zoonotic spillover requires an understanding of how human, animal, and environmental interactions shape risk in everyday life. Efforts have focused largely on surveillance and response rather than on primary prevention informed by lived experienc...

Understanding the Complexity of Healthcare Staff Responses to Collective Personal and Occupational Stress Using the Adversity-Activated Development Reflection Tool

The adversity-activated development reflection tool (AART) has been used therapeutically to capture personal growth arising during adversity. Our mixed-methods study used this tool to assess adversity-activated growth in 854 mental and community healthcare workers during the COVI...
