Knotless Suture Repair For Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review and Single-Arm Meta-Analysis

Introduction There is a need to assess the use of knotless sutures in cohorts with chronic ankle instability (CAI). Methods A literature search of Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Scopus was conducted from each database’s inception to August 15, 2025. Eligible studies r...

Schizophrenia research in 2026: report from the annual meeting of the Schizophrenia International Research Society

Abstract SIRS 2026, held under the theme “Schizophrenia Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence,” brought together researchers, clinicians, and persons with lived experience to take stock of a field whose tools for measuring, predicting, and intervening in psychosis have e...

Non-asymptotic oracle inequalities for the Lasso in high-dimensional mixture of experts

Abstract We study Lasso estimation for high-dimensional softmax-gated Gaussian mixture-of-experts (SGMoE) regression models, where the predictor dimension P may exceed the sample size N . Under bounded parameters, we establish a non-asymptotic Kullback–Leibler (KL) oracle inequal...

Seroprevalence of 17 pathogens from an integrated national serosurvey in Niue

Integrated serosurveillance (ISS), using multiplex bead assays to measure antibodies to multiple pathogens, can provide insights into population immunity and pathogen exposure. We estimated seroprevalence for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), arboviruses, vaccine-preventable di...

Increasing abundance of nitrogen-fixing Trichodesmium in Australian waters

Context The filamentous cyanobacteria, genus Trichodesmium, is a marine diazotroph that converts atmospheric nitrogen into more bioavailable forms and is therefore important in nutrient cycling in oligotrophic marine ecosystems. Aims This study aimed to confirm findings from hist...

Lung cancer incidence, metastatic disease and mortality in people accessing mental health services: Opportunities for screening

Objective: To describe lung cancer incidence, stage and post-diagnosis mortality in people accessing mental health services, focusing on people aged 50–70 targeted by Australia’s new lung cancer screening programme. Methods: Linkage to the New South Wales Cancer Registry identifi...

Evaluating the impact of triple-drug mass drug administration using human and mosquito-based indicators of lymphatic filariasis in Samoa, 2019 – 2024

Background For lymphatic filariasis (LF) elimination, the World Health Organization recommends multiple rounds of mass drug administration (MDA) to interrupt transmission. While LF antigen (Ag) is routinely used to monitor progress, recent evidence suggests more time-sensitive in...

Passive ankle exoskeleton assistance selectively modulates triceps surae neural control during balance

Wearable assistive devices have potential to improve human balance, but their effectiveness remains limited by an incomplete understanding of how mechanical assistance influences neuromuscular control. This study aimed to determine the neural adaptations in the control of lower l...

Dietary and lifestyle quality and endometrial cancer: Incidence and survivorship outcomes—An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Composite dietary and lifestyle indices capture the combined effects of multiple health-related behaviours and may better reflect real-world cancer risk and survivorship than single exposures. This umbrella review aimed to evaluate and grade the strength of evidence for associati...

Association of the Red Cell Distribution Width–Albumin Ratio with Myocardial Strain, Mortality, and Heart Failure Hospitalization: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Aims: The aims of this study were to evaluate the association between the red cell distribution width (RDW)–albumin ratio (RAR) and subclinical myocardial impairment, as assessed by left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), and to examine the relationships between the...

Feasibility of implementing a mindfulness-based program for paediatric intensive care unit staff

Background Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) clinicians are particularly susceptible to workplace stress due to frequent ethical dilemmas (for example, perceptions of futile or unethical treatment), patient morbidity and mortality, sleep disruption, and emotional exhaustion,...

Frequency of plastic occurrence varies across phylogeny but not ecology in seabirds

Seabirds are especially vulnerable to ingesting plastic pollution. However, we have a limited understanding of which traits might increase their risk of plastic ingestion. Here, we use a dataset of seabird plastic occurrence records (93 281 birds from 240 species) to investigate...

Substantial improvement in short-term survivorship in patients receiving robotic arm-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Aims Robotic arm-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (R-UKA) has been shown to improve alignment and accuracy of component placement compared with conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (C-UKA). Despite this, there is conflicting evidence for whether this has an...

Partial replacement of concentrate with fermented cassava products in Thai native × Lowline Angus cattle: effects on nutrient utilization and rumen fermentation

Context In tropical regions where cassava (Manihot esculenta) is widely cultivated, its byproducts (tops and pulp) represent underutilized feed resources despite their nutritional potential. Aim The study evaluated the effects of replacing concentrate with dried cassava tops ferm...

An in-feed oral glucose test increases post-prandial high molecular weight adiponectin concentration in horses

Abstract Adiponectin is a fat-derived adipocytokine that has been associated with laminitis risk in ponies. Factors that affect sampling timing for measurement of adiponectin concentration have been inadequately investigated. This study aimed to determine the effect of an oral gl...

Characterization of hops (Humulus lupulus cultivar Hallertau Magnum) grown under different doses of nitrogen fertilization in a subtropical climate

Hops are an essential ingredient in brewing, contributing to beer flavor and aroma. Brazil imports hop products such as pellets and extracts to meet domestic demand, while research on hop production under subtropical conditions remains limited. Nitrogen fertilization strongly aff...

Ethno‐National and Religious Identifications, Identity Compatibility, and Trust in Leaders: A Two‐Study Investigation in a Politically Fragmented Society

ABSTRACT Social identities, such as ethno‐national and religious identities, can shape group cohesion, trust in leadership, and societal stability in politically fragmented contexts. A key factor influencing these dynamics is identity compatibility—the extent to which individuals...

Finite foresight in Chomp

We experimentally study sequential rationality in the Game of Chomp, a two-player win-lose game whose rules are simple but whose subgame-perfect Nash equilibria vary in complexity across initial states. Subjects frequently deviate from SPNE: the probability of making an SPNE-cons...

Genome-wide synthetic lethality screen of Bam complex-associated genes in Escherichia coli

Abstract Biogenesis of the bacterial outer membrane is key to bacterial survival and antibiotic resistance. Central to this is the β-barrel assembly machine (Bam) complex and its associated chaperones, which are responsible for transport, folding and insertion of outer membrane p...

Reciprocal Longitudinal Associations Between Psychological Entitlement and Women’s Benevolent Sexism and Men’s Hostile Sexism: Evidence From a 13-Year RI-CLPM

Prior research suggests that psychological entitlement differentially predicts women’s benevolent sexism and men’s hostile sexism. However, few studies examine these associations longitudinally, and none have tested whether sexism similarly predicts psychological entitlement over...
