Topological, Lie-Operator, and Jump-Diffusion Unification of Non-Markovian Systems, Multi-Agent Games, and High-Dimensional Combinatorial Dynamics

This monograph establishes a unified mathematical framework bridging non-Markovian queueing systems, robust H ∞ control theory, multi-player differential games, differential topology, persistent homology, and stochastic Langevin jump-diffusion operators. By mapping continuous sta...

Antarctic sea ice over the past 130 000 years – Part 2: A review of its role in the Earth system

Abstract. Antarctic sea-ice cover reached historically low levels in 2023, consistent with the simulated decrease in sea-ice extent in response to anthropogenic warming. Antarctic sea ice is closely linked to multiple components of the Earth system, thus its demise could precipit...

HMGA1 and HMGA2: epigenetic regulators in myeloproliferative neoplasms and novel platelet transcriptomic biomarkers of myelofibrosis

We read with great interest two recent studies by Handa et al. [ 1 ] and Bartalucci et al. [ 2 ] reporting novel chromosomal deletions within the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of HMGA2 (Δ3’ HMGA2 ) in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Both teams identified submicroscopic deleti...

Aberrant erythrocyte rigidity in JAK2 V617F myeloproliferative neoplasms underlies concurrent thrombosis and hemorrhage

Thrombotic events are the leading cause of death in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) driven by the JAK2 Val 617 →Phe (JAK2V617F) mutation. We investigated how JAK2V617F alters hemostasis and thrombosis in humans and in lineage-specific knockin mice to test whether red blood ce...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on outcomes of acute respiratory distress syndrome: propensity matched analysis of a national cohort

Background The effects of co-existing OSA on the outcomes of ARDS are unclear. Objectives This retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes and resource utilization rates of OSA patients who develop ARDS with a matched control group. Materials and methods Adult patients hosp...

Latexin deletion in the bone marrow niche suppresses leukemia via LIFR downregulation and immune activation

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common adult leukemia diagnosis. Bone marrow (BM) niche significantly influences the initiation and progression of AML. However, our knowledge about the effect of leukemic niche on leukemia stem cells (LSC) and leukemogenesis is limited. I...

AVERAGE TREATMENT EFFECT LOCALIZATION: PROJECTION METHODS IN SYNTHETIC CONTROL

Many real-world policies and business interventions require assessing short-term effects to inform timely decisions, even though most causal inference methods focus on long-term average treatment effects. In this article, we introduce average treatment effect localization (ATEL),...

Prison as social sink in the treadmill of production

Prisons have been understudied as sites of environmental inquiry. This article draws on cases of toxic prisons and the literature on critical environmental justice and carceral studies to propose a new theoretical concept linking the carceral state and environmental degradation:...

Use of Post-Coital Strategies to Prevent Pregnancy: Findings from a National Sample of Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States

In the context of increasing restrictions on sexual and reproductive health care, inadequate sex education, and increasing antihormonal contraceptive sentiment, we examined post-coital pregnancy prevention behavior among a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents and...

Hostile attribution biases are resistant to manipulations of momentary loneliness.

Loneliness, a perceived discrepancy between desired and actual social relationships, shifts cognition in ways that support heightened sensitivity to potential social threat. These cognitive biases are thought to perpetuate loneliness and subsequent long-term health risk. One such...

Peripheral Modernisms – Editor's Roundtable

Alys Moody and Stephen J. Ross are the editors of one of the most recent collection of modernist writings: Global Modernists on Modernism: An Anthology (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020). This collection features translations of works associated with modernism in Latin America, the Cari...

Cognitive performance before and after a one-week medication washout in early-stage Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Cognitive deficits are often present in early-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may be differentially affected by dopaminergic therapy. Prior studies have relied on overnight OFF states, which may incompletely remove residual medication effects. Early-stage PD participa...

Breast cancer stem cell metabolism: metabolic plasticity and microenvironmental regulation

Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a tumorigenic cell population implicated in tumor initiation, therapeutic resistance, metastasis, and disease recurrence. Increasing evidence indicates that metabolic reprogramming is a fundamental feature of BCSC biology, enabling these cells...

The Economics of Compliance: Measuring Market and Innovation Effects of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act's High-Risk Classification System

This dissertation measures the early economic footprint of the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation [EU] 2024/1689), the first comprehensive, risk-tiered statute to impose binding obligations on artificial intelligence systems. The problem it addresses is that...

Current Evidence on Gene-Based and Epigenetic Therapeutic, Diagnostic, and Prognostic Strategies in Epithelial-Derived Carcinomas: A Scoping Review

Background: Epithelial-derived carcinomas exhibit genomic instability due to genetic mutation and epigenetic dysregulation. Mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and noncoding RNA regulation may lead to tumor progression, immune evasion, and treatment resista...

Cyclic nucleotide signaling through phosphodiesterase 1 inhibition and its interaction with the competing endogenous RNA network regulates cognition

Background Phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) has been demonstrated to be a potential drug target for a variety of diseases, ranging from peripheral system disease (PSD) to central nervous system disorders (CNSD). However, how cyclic nucleotide signaling, regulated by PDE1, particularly...

Pediatric Institutions' Instagram Response to the 2025 Acetaminophen-Autism Controversy

ABSTRACT: Objective: To describe the timing, frequency, and accessibility of Instagram posts from pediatric health institutions during the 2025 acetaminophen-autism controversy.Methods: Cross-sectional audit of public Instagram accounts of 62 pediatric health institutions from Se...

Connectomic Determinants of Subcallosal Cingulate Deep Brain Stimulation for Depression

OBJECTIVE: Subcallosal cingulate (SCC) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown promise for treatment-resistant depression. This study retrospectively evaluated a large curated SCC-DBS dataset to identify connectomic factors associated with sustained clinical improvement across pat...
