Breaking the Sexual Silence of Cancer Survivors: Exploration of Sexual Distress and Health Communication Paths After Cervical Cancer Surgery Based on Qualitative Interviews

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Objective</bold> : To better understand the challenges related to sexual function faced by patients with cervical cancer following radical hysterectomy, and to provide evidence-based insights for the development of clinical nursing strategies and hea...

Rotational canal scheduling in two oasis irrigation districts using a weighted composite objective and a sigmoid-adaptive genetic algorithm

Rotational canal scheduling in arid irrigation districts must satisfy coupled water-volume, timing, and hydraulic constraints while balancing modeled seepage loss and the dispersion of trunk-canal discharge levels. A constrained model with a weighted composite objective was solve...

Demographic time bomb in COPD (1990–2050)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and progressive symptoms. Despite declining age-standardized rates (ASRs), absolute burdens are rising due to population aging and g...

Research Progress on Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Dynamic Evaluation of Psoriasis：A narrative review

This narrative review focuses on psoriasis, a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease with multisystem comorbidities that significantly impairs patients' quality of life. The recurrent nature of the disease often imposes substantial psychological burden, accompanied by anxiet...

Gastritis cystica profunda with early gastric cancer persisting for 9 years in the stage of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia

Abstract Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a benign lesion characterized by the submucosal proliferation of cystic gastric glands. It most frequently occurs in patients with a history of gastric surgery but is infrequently found in those with an unoperated stomach. While genera...

Crack-localization in elastomeric self-healing enabled by one supermolecule-analogous molecule

Residual invisible cracks make perfect material self-healing difficult to achieve. In principle, cracks could be visualized by luminescent indicators; however, high-energy fluctuations associated with rapid healing kinetics interfere with the electronic transitions of luminophore...

Physiological readiness for harvest in machine-harvested cotton: Linking canopy regulation, maturity synchrony, diagnostic thresholds, and lint yield and quality realization

Xinjiang has developed one of the world’s most advanced and productive machine-harvested cotton systems under arid irrigated conditions, yet the central challenge is no longer yield formation alone but the reliable conversion of pre-harvest productivity into clean, harvestable li...

The Role of Migratory Birds in the Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance: A One Health Perspective

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major One Health challenge driven by antimicrobial misuse in human medicine, veterinary practice, animal production, and polluted environments. Migratory birds move among wetlands, farms, wastewater-affected habitats, landfills, and coastal eco...
