Abstract Provide expert-informed guidance on the integration of aflibercept 8 mg into routine clinical care for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO), based on clinical trial and real-world evidence. Sixteen retina spe...

Agreement between face-to-face and telehealth physical therapy triage decisions in a routine outpatient setting

Background Telehealth has increasingly been integrated into physiotherapy services to improve access and reduce waiting times. However, evidence regarding agreement between telehealth and face-to-face physiotherapy triage decisions remains limited, particularly in routine outpati...

Eliminating serum dependency of bovine mesenchymal stem cell expansion via media composition and genetic screen

The advancement of cultured fat toward viable industrial production is currently hindered by economic and technical constraints, including the formulation of cost-effective, chemically defined culture media. This study addresses serum dependency in bovine mesenchymal stem cells (...

Accounting for noise improves the generalization of acoustic indices when estimating biodiversity

The use of Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) for estimating biodiversity often entails the use of acoustic indices that summarize the acoustic properties of the recordings. Although acoustic indices have been shown to successfully track biodiversity in limited contexts, the recur...

A pharmacometric framework for norepinephrine transporter occupancy and dose equivalence across psychotropic medications

Background: Norepinephrine transporter (NET) inhibition is a relevant mechanism across psychotropic medications, although prescribing classifications are largely based on drug class rather than quantitative target engagement. Aims: To facilitate cross-drug comparisons of noradren...

The dynamics of ‘limited hybridity’ in migration: the case of Zera Beta Israel from Ethiopia

This article develops the concept of limited hybridity to analyze how Zera Beta Israel (ZBI) migrants navigate Israel’s overlapping migration regimes. Drawing on long-term, multi-sited ethnographic research (2005–2011; 2021–2023), it traces their journeys from Ethiopian villages...

The “POP-IT” ear deformity: early recognition and non-surgical management of a novel neonatal auricular deformation

BACKGROUND: Congenital auricular deformities are common in newborns, yet many remain underdiagnosed despite the availability of effective early non-surgical correction. We describe a previously unreported auricular deformation, termed the "POP-IT" ear deformity, and present our e...

Understanding temporal changes in intrinsic capacity: analysis of domain-specific intrinsic capacity using SHARE data

Global population aging challenges acute, disease-centric healthcare models and highlights the need for functional markers of aging. The World Health Organization's intrinsic capacity (IC) framework, encompassing cognition, vitality, locomotion, psychological well-being, and sens...

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur. Vegetatio...

When Time Stands Still: The Destructive Experience of Ambiguous Loss among Mothers of Combat Soldiers

What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experien...

Emergency Care Needs in an Asymmetric Conflict: A Facility‐Based Cohort Study From Israel on October 7, 2023

ABSTRACT Background Due to the deteriorating global security situation, many countries are preparing their health systems for armed conflict. Wartime health care delivery is challenging due to the loss of territorial control and attacks on Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The ob...
