Improving Cross-River Turbidity Retrieval by Incorporating Environmental Variables: When and Why It Works

River turbidity is a key indicator of water quality that influences both human activities and riverine ecosystem functioning. However, strong seasonal variability, high sensitivity to disturbances, and pronounced spatial heterogeneity make turbidity patterns difficult to characte...

“Notorious, a Tragedy, Not-Spoken-About”: Spatial Justice, the Buried Said, and the Fragile Circulation of Recognition in Hotel World

Critics of Ali Smith’s Hotel World largely approach its trauma narrative through psychoanalysis, polyphonic form, or Gothic spectrality, treating space as a passive backdrop. This article challenges this tendency, arguing that the novel reframes traumatic memory not as a private...

Modulating Charge Transfer Dynamics in Titanium Metal–Organic Frameworks via Conjugated Linker Engineering for Enhanced Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract This study synthesized three isostructural 2D Ti-based MOFs (Ti–C═C, Ti–C═N, and Ti–N═N) to investigate how conjugated bridge engineering affects their electronic structure, carrier dynamics, and photocatalytic performance. DFT calculations and spectroscopic analyses rev...

A year-long upper-ocean dataset from a submesoscale- and mesoscale-resolving mooring array in the Northeast Atlantic

Submesoscale processes are central to upper-ocean stratification, cross-scale energy transfers, and vertical tracer transport, yet observations that resolve their transient variability over seasonal timescales remain scarce. Here, we present a year-long record of upper-ocean obse...

Can ritual behavior influence user identity? A study of library ritual activities effects

Against the backdrop of increasing challenges related to institutional identification and sustainability, ritual marketing offers a viable approach to library marketing by enhancing user loyalty and fostering more enduring user–library relationships. Library ritual activities—def...

Noninvasive retinal features for early prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus: a machine learning-based cohort study

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common complication during pregnancy and early prediction for high-risk gravidas is crucial to facilitate timely intervention. However, most newly discovered biomarkers require additional blood sampling and high costs, which limits...

48-hour BPRI trajectories and 28-day mortality in vasoactive-supported hypertensive heart disease with heart failure

Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) complicated by heart failure is associated with high mortality in intensive care units. The Blood Pressure Response Index (BPRI), the ratio of mean arterial pressure to vasoactive-inotropic score, integrates hemodynamic targets and treatment inten...

A CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) axis regulates oncogenic energy metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma

CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a highly conserved DNA-binding protein crucial for 3D genome organization and gene regulation. Previous studies have shown that CTCF overexpression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to elucidate th...

Joint association of five insulin resistance indices and frailty index with incident cardiometabolic multimorbidity in individuals with cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome stages 0–3: a prospective cohort study

Insulin resistance and frailty are closely related to cardiometabolic deterioration, yet their joint contribution to the development of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) among individuals with early-to-intermediate cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome remains unclear...

MicroRNAs in HCC: regulatory roles and therapeutic potential

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the malignancies with the highest mortality rates worldwide. Owing to the lack of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, patient prognosis generally remains poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as both oncogenes and tumor suppress...

The effectiveness of different training modes on preplanned change-of-direction performance in basketball players: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

To systematically compare the relative effects of different training modalities on preplanned change-of-direction (COD) performance in basketball players using a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and EBSCOhost were systematically searched from ince...

Prophylactic intra-aortic balloon pump in gastrointestinal cancer surgery: a potential approach to mitigate perioperative ischemic risk in severe coronary artery disease

Patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring time-sensitive gastrointestinal cancer surgery face a dual challenge: perioperative myocardial ischemia and surgical bleeding. The optimal management strategy in this setting remains undefined. This single-center retros...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy for solid tumors in pediatric patients: current breakthroughs, dilemmas, and strategies

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has demonstrated substantial clinical efficacy in pediatric hematologic malignancies; however, its application in pediatric solid tumors remains investigational and is constrained by substantial biological and clinical challenges. Ke...

A multi-temporal MRI radiomics model for early post-ablation recurrence risk stratification in hepatocellular carcinoma

OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a multi-temporal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics model for predicting one-year recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after ablation. METHODS: This retrospective study included 204 patients with HCC who underwent curative...

The impact for causal associations between common diseases and inflammatory bowel disease: a disease-wide bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

Abstract Objectives Observational studies on associations between various diseases and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often limited by confounding and reverse causation. We aimed to assess potential causal relationships between a wide range of diseases and IBD, including Cr...

Neural-specific UBAP2L deficiency causes developmental delay and cortical abnormalities in mice

Rare UBAP2L variants have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the role of UBAP2L in brain development remains unclear. Here, we generated neural-specific conditional knockout mice for Ubap2l using Nestin-Cre system, incl...

The Lark-Loop Technique for Onlay Biceps Tenodesis: A Biomechanical, Histological, and Radiological Study in a Rabbit Model

Background: Arthroscopic cortical surface tenodesis has been established as an effective technique for managing lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). However, traditional suture techniques frequently provide insufficient initial mechanical strength, which may cont...

A single-cell-informed framework maps context-dependent myeloid damage-response states across cancers

Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells occupy heterogeneous functional states that are not adequately represented by macrophage abundance or fixed polarization labels. We developed the myeloid damage response index (MDRi), a single-cell-informed framework comprising injury, resolution...
