Effectiveness of Palliative Care Approaches in the Community: A Systematic Review

Background Community-based palliative care is increasingly promoted as an alternative to hospital-centered end-of-life care, yet prior reviews have largely cataloged outcome measures or program components associated with favorable results, without explaining how these components...

Advances in Interventional Oncology for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Locoregional therapies are used across the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment spectrum, including for curative treatment of small tumors, as bridging or downstaging therapy before liver transplant, for treatment of intermediate-stage disease, and as part of combination trea...

Ru-Promoted Ni/ZIF-8 Catalysts for C–C Coupling in the Upgrading of Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol Mixtures

Catalytic upgrading of acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) mixtures provides a route to higher-value oxygenates for chemicals and fuel precursors. Here, Ni-, Ru-, and Ni–Ru-loaded ZIF-8 catalysts were prepared and evaluated for ABE upgrading, with particular emphasis on C7 oxygenate fo...

Linking social attention to reproductive state and future reproduction in female monkeys

Abstract The demands of complex social life are thought to drive the evolution of cognition in primates. One important approach to testing this hypothesis is to assess if variation in psychological processes impacts an individual’s fitness outcomes, but this can be challenging in...

Bipyridine-Functionalized Covalent Organic Polymer for Highly Sensitive Turn-On Fluorescent Detection of Zn2+ in Pure Water

Abstract A bipyridine-functionalized covalent organic polymer (Bpy-COP) was synthesized as a fluorescent sensor for Zn2+ detection in pure water. Structural characterization confirmed the formation of an imine-linked amorphous polymer incorporating accessible bipyridine coordinat...

Comparative analysis of taste profiles and metabolic characteristics in white tea processed from wild and cultivated tea plants

Abstract BACKGROUND Wild tea trees represent valuable germplasm resources, with distinctive chemical characteristics and environmental resilience, but the biochemical basis underlying their flavor characteristics and potential contribution to white tea quality remain poorly under...

Advanced cathode engineering in sodium-ion batteries: doping, phase, and interface modulation from layer oxides to polyanionics

Abstract Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted significant attention as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries; however, their practical advancement remains limited by cathode-related challenges, including sluggish Na + diffusion, structural degradation, and rapid capa...

Rare WDR19 Variants in Patients With Dental and Retinal Anomalies

Genetic variants in WDR19 cause ciliopathies with craniofacial and ectodermal features, including dental and retinal anomalies. This study characterized the clinical and molecular features of patients with isolated dental anomalies harboring WDR19 variants. Clinical and radiograp...

Slaughter blood-derived bioactive peptides: structure-function relationships, species-specific bioactivities, gastrointestinal stability, and sustainable applications in food systems

This is a comprehensive review focusing on the utilization of slaughter blood proteins as sources of bioactive peptides for functional food applications. Despite significant advances in bioactive peptide research, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding species-specific variatio...

Ballistic Resistance of Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composite: A Critical Review

This review examines the ballistic resistance of fiber-reinforced cement composites (FRCs) and related cementitious systems for protective structures, with emphasis on projectile–target interaction, penetration and scabbing mechanisms, and the governing roles of material and stru...

Natural Rubber-Based Encapsulation for Wireless Intraruminal Monitoring: Effects of Latex Processing Parameters on Mechanical, Chemical, and RF Transmission Performance

Encapsulation for wireless dairy-cattle implants must resist acidic, moisture-rich gastrointestinal conditions while remaining transparent to radio-frequency (RF) signals. This study evaluated vulcanized natural rubber (NR) latex as an intraruminal encapsulant, examining how tota...

Wolffia globosa-Fortified Hydrogels for Extrusion-Based 3D Food Printing: Effects of Particle Microstructure and Process Parameters on Dimensional Fidelity

This study investigated and optimized the operational process parameters of an extrusion-based 3D food printing system to maximize the dimensional fidelity of newly developed Wolffia globosa (duckweed) starch hydrogel constructs relative to a nominal target specification of 30 ×...

Ethnobotanical knowledge of plants used for handicrafts and household practices in Yasothon Province, Thailand

Plants used for handicraft and household (HH) purposes play an important role in supporting rural livelihoods, material culture, and traditional ecological knowledge in northeastern Thailand. However, ethnobotanical information on the diversity, utilization patterns, and cultural...
