Unexpected 4 × 4 Charge Density Wave in 1 H -NbTe2 Monolayer

Abstract Transition metal ditellurides exhibit structural and electronic properties distinct from their selenide and sulfide counterparts, including the stabilization of multiple charge density wave (CDW) phases. Within the niobium compound family, notable differences in structur...

Hypothyroidism Improves Survival in Experimental Peritonitis

Abstract Hypothyroidism decreases the basal metabolic rate. Using three models of peritonitis, intraperitoneal LPS plus Zymosan challenge, cecal slurry-induced intraperitoneal infection, and cecal ligation and puncture, we demonstrate that hypothyroid mice show enhanced survival...

Using BDF Schemes in the Temporal Integration of POD-ROM Methods

Abstract In this paper we consider the numerical approximation of a semilinear reaction-diffusion model problem by means of reduced-order methods (ROMs) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). We focus on the time integration of the fully discrete reduced-order model. Mos...

Evidence-based atlas of risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders: an umbrella review to inform personalized prognosis and prevention.

Identifying updated, evidence-based risk and protective factors for psychotic disorders is essential to advancing scientific and clinical knowledge of their etiology. Since the most recent umbrella review published in this journal, the evidence base has expanded substantially. Fo...

Home-range ecology of seven Palaearctic steppe bird species: a meta-analysis of spatial dimensions and ecological knowledge gaps

Home range size (HRS) is a key metric in spatial ecology and conservation, but published estimates often differ across studies due to variation in ecological context, demographic composition (sex, age), annual cycle period, and tracking technology. Steppe birds –among the most th...

Kernel $$K$$-Means Clustering of Distributional Data

Abstract We consider the problem of clustering a sample of probability distributions from a random distribution on $$\mathbb R^d$$ R d . Our proposed partitioning method makes use of a symmetric, positive-definite kernel $$k$$ k and its associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space...

Aharonov–Bohm interference in a $${\pmb{\mathbb{Z}}}_{\bf{2}}$$ lattice gauge theory on a hybrid qubit–oscillator quantum computer

Abstract Lattice gauge theories, which have both dynamical matter and gauge fields, are strongly coupled problems that lie beyond the reach of classical computation. Quantum simulations may provide a tractable approach for studying lattice gauge theories, but implementing gauge-i...

Age-related patterns in paediatric paracetamol poisoning: a retrospective cohort study, 2015–2025

Introduction Paracetamol poisoning is a common cause of paediatric drug toxicity, but contemporary data on incidence trends, management, and predictors of toxicity remain limited. This study will evaluate incidence trends, clinical features, management, and dose–concentration rel...

Optimal Decay Rate for a Degenerate Hyperbolic-Parabolic Coupled System

Abstract. We investigate the long-time asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional degenerate hyperbolic-parabolic coupled PDE system modeling diffusion-wave interactions with degeneracy at the interface. The system consists of a degenerate heat-wave equation on a finite interval, w...

MCC950-Derived NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor Modulates Glial Inflammatory Signatures and Neuroinflammation after Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is a central mediator of sterile inflammation and a key therapeutic target to modulate secondary neuroinflammation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although the widely used NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 effectively suppresses inflammasome activatio...

Regional differences in dendritic spine morphology and innervation of the trisynaptic circuit of a mouse model of GSK-3β overexpression

Abstract The trisynaptic circuit, which includes the entorhinal cortex (EC), dentate gyrus (DG), and Cornu Ammonis (CA1, CA2, and CA3) of the hippocampus, is among the regions first affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) has emerged as a key en...

Mediterranean lifestyle and risk of recurrent cardiovascular events: a prospective study from the UK biobank

Abstract Background The Mediterranean Lifestyle Index (MEDLIFE) evaluates adherence to traditional Mediterranean living, encompassing diet, physical activity, rest and conviviality. Although it has been linked to reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and other c...

Molecular characterization of tetraploid astrocytes in drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy

Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological diseases, with 25–33% of patients developing drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). The precise etiology of DRE remains unidentified. Recent studies have revealed an increase in tetraploid astrocytes in drug-resistant temporal lobe epile...

Inositol Hexakisphosphate Promotes Open Pore State in HIV Capsid Protein Lattice by Reconfiguring Subunit Contacts

Abstract The mature human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) capsid is composed of approximately 250 capsid protein hexamers, each containing a central pore delimited by a β-hairpin and an α-helix from each monomer. The cellular metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) binds this p...

The role of selective attention in value-modulated attentional capture

Abstract Stimuli that reliably predict reward can increase their capacity to capture attention. This value-modulated attentional capture (VMAC) is typically viewed as independent of task goals or physical salience, arising from associative learning. However, recent evidence sugge...

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Spanish of the Rapid Clinical Assessment of Modes

Introduction: The therapeutic relationship and the use of self are essential components of Occupational Therapy practice, yet few validated instruments assess these constructs across therapist, client, and observer perspectives, particularly in Spanish-speaking contexts. This stu...

Adaptive response to serine and glycine deprivation enhances the stemness potential of pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develops within a nutrient-poor microenvironment, where pancreatic cancer stem cells (PaCSCs) can persist despite limited oxygen and nutrient availability. This resilience partially relies on mitochondrial metabolic flexibility. Serine and...

Survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis: international target trial emulation

Abstract Objective To quantify the survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis according to patients’ characteristics (age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease), donor quality (standard criteria donor or expanded criteria donor) and donor retr...

Baseline Ferritin and Body Composition as Correlates of Longitudinal Metabolic Changes During an Energy-Restricted Mediterranean-Style Intervention Across Three Overweight Phlogistic-Related Clinical Conditions

Background/Objectives: Chronic inflammation accompanies obesity, but correlations of longitudinal changes during dietary follow-up remain unclear. We described inflammatory profiles and examined associations of baseline ferritin and body composition with changes during a 32-week...

Gender, merit, and social capital in national accreditation: time to tenure‑track promotion in spanish management and organization studies

Abstract Women remain underrepresented in senior academic positions despite formal, ostensibly meritocratic promotion systems in many European countries, including Spain. National accreditation by the Spanish quality and accreditation agency (ANECA) is a mandatory gateway for pro...
