Factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum in Southwest China: a cross-sectional study

Breastfeeding is known to be shaped by a complex interplay of socio-demographic, medical, and psychological factors. However, there is a lack of research on the determinants of breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum. This study aimed to examine factors associated with exclusive brea...

Unified Explicit–Implicit Degradation Dynamics with Physics-Informed Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks for Lithium-Ion Battery SOH Estimation and RUL Prediction Under Different Charging Protocols

To address challenges in state-of-health (SOH) estimation and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction for lithium-ion batteries under fast-charging conditions—strong nonlinear degradation, difficulty in explicit mechanism modeling, and unstable generalization due to distribution s...

Clinical study on the combined predictive value of admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and stress hyperglycemia ratio for early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke

Early neurological deterioration (END) affects short-term prognosis in acute ischemic stroke. Inflammation and stress-related glucose dysregulation may contribute to END, but their incremental predictive value remains unclear. To evaluate the associations of admission neutrophil-...

A gut microbiome‐lipid axis in early pregnancy is associated with metabolic dysregulation and diabetes risk

Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reflects metabolic dysregulation that becomes clinically apparent during pregnancy and shares key pathophysiological features with broader forms of diabetes. Gut microbiome‐host metabolic interactions may contribute to this process, ye...

Explaining Urban Recovery after Tropical Cyclones: A Bibliometric-Systematic Review of Research Trends, Drivers, and Future Directions

Tropical cyclones increasingly threaten coastal cities, yet why recovery outcomes diverge across places remain poorly synthesized. Here we examine the determinants of post-cyclone urban recovery through a bibliometric-systematic review of 117 peer-reviewed empirical studies publi...

Chirality-induced spin-regulated synaptic dynamics in 2D perovskite memristors for polarimetric neuromorphic computing

Conventional von Neumann architectures face fundamental energy-efficiency bottlenecks, while current optoelectronic neuromorphic devices remain confined to simple optoelectronic responses, unable to leverage continuous physical degrees of freedom such as light polarization for co...

Energy Transfer Catalysis Enabled by Multichannel Through‐Space Charge Transfer TADF Photosensitizers: [2 + 2] Photocycloaddition to Cyclobutane‐Fused Phosphindole 3‐Oxides

ABSTRACT Triplet energy transfer (TEnT) photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for enabling mild and selective bond‐forming reactions. However, its generality remains limited by the intrinsic trade‐offs in existing photosensitizers (PSs). Noble metal (e.g., Ir, Ru) complex...

Association between the Chinese version of the Mediterranean-DASH intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay diet and BADL/IADL disability among older adults in China: a nationwide survey

Disability is a major challenge affecting older adults’ quality of life. Although the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been shown to protect against functional disability in Western populations, its applicability across different cultura...

Electrochemical Cytosensor with Dual-Site Recognition Fabricated by In Situ Catalase-Encapsulated Metal–Organic Frameworks for Isolation and Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells in Whole Blood

Abstract Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are critical biomarkers for cancer prognosis and treatment monitoring, yet their detection remains challenging due to low abundance and phenotypic heterogeneity. Herein, we developed a dual-aptamer-conjugated electrochemical cytosensor usin...

TyG-Biomarker discordance profiling identifies metabolically heterogeneous phenotypes with divergent cardiovascular and diabetes risk: metabolomic characterization from the UK biobank

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a widely used surrogate of insulin resistance, yet it captures only a narrow slice of the broader cardiometabolic dysregulation associated with metabolic dysfunction. Whether individuals with equivalent TyG values harbour meaningfully disti...

High-Capacity and Rapid Radioiodine Capture from Gasand Water by Triazine-Functionalized Collagen Fibers

Abstract Effective elimination of radioactive iodine species from nuclear waste is critical for ecological protection, human health safety, and the sustainable development of nuclear energy. Herein, a collagen fiber-based iodine adsorbent (ACFT) was fabricated via glutaraldehyde-...

Cross-system patterns of physical, psychological and cognitive multimorbidity and 9-year all-cause mortality among middle-aged and older Chinese adults: a prospective cohort study from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study

Cross-system multimorbidity—the co-occurrence of physical, psychological and cognitive disorders—is increasingly recognised as a defining feature of population ageing, yet its relationship with long-term mortality has rarely been examined at the level of specific combinations. Mo...

Neural regulation in lung cancer: from mechanisms to new therapeutic perspectives

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy, treatment outcomes are often constrained by tumor heterogeneity and the complex tumor microenvironment. Recent studies highlight the critical role of th...

Sustainable High-PerformancePolylactide/Poly(butyleneadipate- co -terephthalate) Blend Films via IntegratingInterfacial Compatibilization with Biaxial Stretching

Abstract A sustainable strategy integrating reactive compatibilization with biaxial stretching was developed to produce high-performance polylactide/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PLA/PBAT) blend films. Pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) served as a reactive compatibiliz...

Self‐Assembled Mesoporous Nickel Polyphthalocyanine/Graphene Microspheres for Room‐Temperature Sensing of Carbonate Ester Leakage in Batteries

ABSTRACT The low viscosity of linear carbonate esters improves electrolyte wetting and ionic conductivity, making them essential for battery operation, but also rendering them prone to rapid evaporation when cells are mechanically damaged or leaking. Given their high flammability...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of continuous glucose monitoring compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose on glycemic control and maternal and infant outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus

Abstract Background Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared to self-blood glucose monitoring (SMBG) has been a controversial topic regarding glycemic control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), as well as maternal and infant outcomes. The aim of this...

A real-time PCR-based noninvasive prenatal RHD screening assay optimized for population-specific RHD allelic spectra in China

Background Prenatal RhD screening enables risk stratification for RhD-associated hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and supports rational，evidence-based use of prophylactic anti-RhD immunoglobulin. However, noninvasive prenatal RhD screening remains challenging in...
