Beyond VO2max: Integrated Physiological Phenotyping and Candidate-Gene Analysis of Elite Versus Recreational Endurance Runners

Background: Endurance performance reflects integrated cardiorespiratory, metabolic and musculoskeletal traits with substantial heritability, yet sex-balanced studies that simultaneously deep-phenotype athletes and genotype candidate loci against trained comparators remain scarce....

Numerical Investigation of Industrial Glass Melting Furnace: Effect of Foam Layer on Glass Bath Temperature and Flow Kinematics

Abstract In glass furnaces, gas bubbles within the glass melt play a critical role due to their detrimental impact on heat transfer, particularly on radiation. Therefore, understanding bubble migration and addressing bubble accumulation at the melt surface is essential. To this e...

SV-EViz: a user-friendly web platform for structural variant evaluation and visualization

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies and computational genomics have substantially expanded our ability to characterize large-scale genomic variation. Within this landscape, structural variants (SVs) constitute a particularly impactful class of variation. Un...

Long‐Term Outcomes and Risk Factors for Failure After Transobturator Tape Surgery in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence

ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the long‐term outcomes of transobturator tape (TOT) surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), identify predictors of surgical failure, and assess failure‐free survival using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Materials and Methods This retrospective st...

Epidural Electrical Stimulation Within an Integrated Rehabilitation Pathway for Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Safety and 12-Month Functional Outcomes

Background/Objectives: Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) is an investigational, off-label neuromodulation strategy used adjunctively with rehabilitation in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), but safety and longitudinal functional data specific to traumatic cervical SCI remain...

Macular vessel density in highly myopic eyes with a history of uncomplicated cataract surgery: a cross-sectional OCTA study

High myopia is associated with structural and microvascular retinal alterations. However, macular microvascular characteristics in highly myopic eyes with a history of cataract surgery remain insufficiently characterized, particularly in comparison with non-operated highly myopic...

The effects of subpectoral and prepectoral implant reconstruction on upper extremity functionality, range of motion, and proprioception in patients with breast cancer

Shoulder pain and decreased glenohumeral joint movement are commonly observed after surgery. The aim of the present study was to evaluate upper extremity functionality, shoulder joint range of motion, and shoulder proprioception in patients who underwent subpectoral and prepector...

Comparison of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins in Cancer Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Insights from a Single-Center Experience

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with cancer and poses challenges for anticoagulant management. The present study was conducted to compare clinical outcomes associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and low-molecular-weight hepar...
