Preparing Resident Physicians to Protect Immigrant Patient Rights During Immigration Enforcement Encounters: A Pre–Post Educational Intervention

Abstract Immigration enforcement increasingly intersects with healthcare delivery, creating clinical situations that may affect immigrant patients’ access to care, trust in healthcare institutions, and interactions with physicians. Despite these challenges, formal training on imm...

Complexity of disconnection dynamics during grain boundary migration

Abstract The Interfacial Line Defect Analysis (ILDA) method is used to fully resolve the time-evolving disconnection network governing migration of the Σ 5(210)[001] symmetric-tilt grain boundary in Al. Rather than proceeding by smooth glide of largely straight disconnections, as...

Loneliness, not isolation, is the missing link between social connectedness and mental health among midlife to older U.S. adults

Objectives To investigate whether loneliness or social isolation serves as the main pathway connecting social connectedness dimensions to mental health outcomes among midlife to older adults.Methods We examined longitudinal data from 4,963 adults aged 40–65 at baseline in the U.S...

Neural network–augmented Pfaffian wave-functions for scalable simulations of interacting fermions

Developing accurate numerical methods for strongly interacting fermions is crucial for improving our understanding of various quantum many-body phenomena, especially unconventional superconductivity. Recently, neural quantum states have emerged as a promising approach for studyin...

VAWIP in a State-Monopolized Political Field: The Case of Chinese Feminist Activism

The literature on violence against women in politics (VAWIP) implicitly treats such violence as boundary enforcement: a political field already exists; the violence women encounter marks the edge they are not permitted to cross; and the state stands as the guarantor of protection...

ODIN: Confirmation and 3D Reconstruction of Six Massive Protoclusters at Cosmic Noon

Abstract Protoclusters represent sites of accelerated galaxy formation and extreme astrophysical activity characteristic of dense environments. Identifying massive protoclusters and mapping their spatial structures are therefore crucial for understanding how large-scale environme...

Chronic disease vulnerability in Ukraine during armed conflict

Abstract Armed conflicts, like the Russian invasion in Ukraine, devastated healthcare systems and amplified chronic disease burdens. This study aimed to unveil novel links between environmental and social factors and chronic illnesses during crises.This study uniquely combined in...

Suicide Risk After Social Network Exposure to Suicide Attempts in Adolescents and Young Adults

Importance Exposure to suicide thoughts and behaviors within social networks has been associated with suicide risk among adolescents and young adults, but longitudinal evidence examining subsequent suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms remains limited. Most...

Small Airway Dysfunction Affects One in Five Indian Adolescents: The Multicity APEAL Study

Summary Small airway dysfunction affected one in five adolescents and varied substantially across four Indian cities. Age, sex and study city, but not ambient PM 2.5 or NO 2 , were independently associated with FEF 25–75 .

Racial Animus, Employment Risk, and Analyst Forecasts During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT Leveraging the exogenous surge in anti‐Asian racial animus during the COVID‐19 pandemic, we examine its effects on analysts’ forecasting behavior. We find that Asian financial analysts become less bold in their forecasts, particularly among those most sensitive to career...

Mechanical Caging of Nucleic Acids Enabled by Light‐Activated Synthetic Molecular Motors

ABSTRACT Control over nucleic acid activity is central to biotechnology and therapeutic development. Most existing strategies rely on installing protecting groups that mask nucleobases or backbone functionalities (i.e., chemical caging), where modulation of activity arises from a...

Rethinking Top Public Management Through Relational Dynamics: A Systems‐Informed Study of Senior Executives

ABSTRACT The complex nature of top public managerial work is widely acknowledged in theory but rarely examined empirically. Existing research has mostly analyzed bivariate relationships among core components of top managerial work in government, including managers' attributes, pr...

Terrestrial environmental DNA survey substantially improves detection of satellite populations for an invasive insect

Abstract Early detection of satellite populations is essential for managing invasive species, but traditional methods often fall short when populations are sparse and widespread. We assessed the effectiveness of terrestrial environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys for detecting spotted l...

Automated alveolar bone and teeth 3D segmentation on the cone-beam computed tomographic images using the convolutional neural network

Abstract Background Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in dental diagnosis and implant planning. The accurate segmentation of teeth and alveolar bone from CBCT images is essential for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. In this study, we propose two distinc...

Snow microinvertebrates from lowlands, high mountains and the Arctic—implications for conservation efforts

Abstract The protection of cryospheric ecosystems and their biota cannot be properly defined without a detailed species inventory. Snow microinvertebrates are crucial for estimating cryophilic biodiversity, yet they are poorly described at broader spatial scales. To fill this kno...

Language-enhanced generative modeling for amyloid PET synthesis from MRI and blood biomarkers.

Assessment of amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) often relies on amyloid-beta positron emission tomography (Aβ-PET), but its clinical use is limited by cost and accessibility. We developed a language-enhanced generative framework to synthesize Aβ-PET images from T1-wei...

Multilocus-Derived Genetic Variability and Pathogenicity of Colletotrichum Species from the Mid-Atlantic United States Associated with Anthracnose in Pepper

Colletotrichum species are important fungal pathogens that cause fruit rots leading to pre and postharvest losses of a broad range of Solanaceae crops, including bell and non-bell pepper and fresh-market and processing tomato. We performed a phylogenetic and pathogenic characteri...

Zidesamtinib (Jideytro®): a new selective, brain-penetrant ROS1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer

ROS1-targeted therapies have improved outcomes in ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but acquired resistance, CNS progression, and off-target toxicities remain important limitations. Zidesamtinib (Jideytro ® , NVL-520) is a next-generation, brain-penetrant, tropomy...

Examining Practice and Payment Gaps in Otolaryngology: Evidence from US Medicare Data

Abstract Objective To assess longitudinal differences in Medicare reimbursement, billing patterns, and service composition among US otolaryngologists. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare fee‐for‐service database...
