Intoxicated with Madness: Exploring the Psychology of Intoxication in Uncovering the Experimental Roots of the Kraepelinian Dichotomy

Scholarship surrounding the Kraepelinian dichotomy of dementia praecox and manic-depressive insanity has overwhelmingly approached Kraepelin's nosology as the product of Kraepelin's clinical method, use of diagnostic cards, and pre-existing disease concepts, rather than his work...

Intrapartum Febrile Morbidity and Maternal Birth Trauma After Vaginal Delivery: A Parity-Stratified Retrospective Cohort Study

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association between intrapartum febrile morbidity and maternal birth trauma among women undergoing vaginal delivery, with stratification by parity. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women with singleton, cephalic, vaginal delive...

Bromide-mediated paired electrosynthesis of hydrogen and epoxide

Water electrolysis struggles to compete with the low cost of hydrogen produced from methane or coal. We propose a bromide-mediated paired electrosynthesis system in which an aqueous electrolyte is combined with olefins in an inert organic co-solvent to simultaneously generate hyd...

Exploring Effectiveness of Immersive Virtual Reality-Based STEM Instruction Using the Cognitive-Affective Model of Immersive Learning (CAMIL)

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has emerged as a promising instructional technology for STEM education, yet relatively few classroom-based studies have examined student learning experiences through the lens of the Cognitive-Affective Model of Immersive Learning (CAMIL). This stud...

Multimodal Bioinspired Self‐Healing Composites Enabling Durable and High‐Efficiency Wearable Perovskite Light‐Emitting Diodes

ABSTRACT Wearable and flexible optoelectronic devices are rapidly advancing toward human‐interactive applications. However, their operational lifespan is often limited by mechanical damage, interface delamination, and environmental influences. Existing encapsulation methods provi...

Factors associated with selection of total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in older adults: a nationwide analysis of 99,084 cases

BACKGROUND: Surgical management of displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults typically involves hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although clinical guidelines suggest that THA may be considered in selected healthier and cognitively intact patients, real-wor...

Mode of diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer recurrence and survival: a retrospective study

Randomized studies failed to show a survival benefit for screening asymptomatic breast cancer (BC) survivors for metastases, however, their relevance to the era of modern systemic therapies is unknown. Socioeconomic status (SES) may confound the association between mode of diagno...

Clinical liability cases reveal a coupling between legal defensibility and medical procedure escalation in large language models

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for clinical decision support, yet their resource utilization implications remain largely unstudied. We introduce CLAD (Clinical Legal Accountability Dataset), evaluating fifteen LLMs on 198 US medical malpractice cases to assess...

Wearable Electronics for Precision Diagnosis Through Advanced Manufacturing and Integration

Wearable electronics are rapidly transforming healthcare by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of physiological and molecular signals directly at the point of need. This shift supports a transition from episodic, generalized care toward precision diagnosis, where individua...

The Dynamic String-Averaging Method for Inverse Strongly-Monotone Operators with Summable Errors

In the work by W. Takahashi and M. Toyoda (2003) it was introduced and studied an iterative process for solving a variational inequality problem which is induced by a inverse strongly-monotone mapping. They showed the weak convergence of the iteration process. Recently we establi...

Failed metabolic adaptation to stress contributes to epidermal cell adhesion defects in Darier disease

Congenital pathogenic gene variants may not elicit symptoms until later in life, highlighting the importance of identifying extra-genetic factors influencing the onset and severity of heritable diseases. We explored this in Darier disease (DD or ATP2A2 -nEDD), an autosomal domina...

A new behavioral evaluation framework for early-stage spatial optimization in high-mobility transit architecture design by applying virtual reality

Efficient wayfinding and spatial comfort are critical performance dimensions for high-mobility transit architecture, yet user-centered evaluation is rarely integrated into early-stage design workflows. This study proposes a virtual reality (VR)-driven behavioral evaluation framew...
