Clinical Outcomes and Hospital Resource Utilization Among Patients with Sepsis and COVID-19 Infection: Insights from the United States National Inpatient Sample Analysis, 2020–2022

Background/Objectives: Clinical studies have shown that patients who had sepsis with COVID-19 infection had worse clinical outcomes; however, there is a paucity of data on the association between concurrent COVID-19 infection and outcomes among patients with sepsis. Hence, we con...

Advances in isothermal nucleic acid amplification-based HPV assays for cervical cancer screening in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review

Objective Cervical cancer disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where over 90% of deaths occur and where cost, infrastructure, and low acceptability impede the WHO 2020–2025 goal of elimination by 2030. This review synthesizes advances in isothermal...

Quantum Spacetime Interlock Law (QSIL)

This manuscript proposes the Quantum Spacetime Interlock Law (QSIL), a target-driven variational framework for the inverse design of quantum-field stress-energy associated with transient wormhole geometries. The central idea is to reverse the conventional forward problem. Instead...

Oral and perioral changes in professional morsing players: a descriptive exploratory pilot study

The morsing, a traditional South Indian jaw harp, is played by holding two metal forks against the anterior teeth. Prolonged playing of mouth-contact musical instruments may be accompanied by structural and functional changes in the oral and perioral regions. The effects of morsi...

Mobile Gaming Exposure and Cognitive Performance in Children with Joint Hypermobility: A Cross-Sectional Correlational Study

Abstract Background: The availability of smartphones has substantially increased mobile gaming among children, raising concerns about its potential negative effects on cognitive abilities, particularly working memory, which is essential for learning and academic performance. Gene...

Sustainable Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydro-2 H -1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxides by Graphene Oxide Catalysts

Abstract A sustainable transition metal-free catalytic route for the synthesis of pharmacologically relevant 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxides (DHBDs) was developed under ambient reaction conditions. The prepared graphene oxide was characterised using PXRD, FE-TE...

Structural and Thermal Properties of Choline Chloride- and Thymol-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents: Experimental and COSMO-RS Modeling

Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were prepared by mixing choline chloride (ChCl) and thymol (Thy) at molar ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:10. Among the prepared mixtures, ChCl:Thy ratios of 1:4 to 1:10 formed homogeneous liquids and remained stable for more than 744 h. These...
