Changes in Bile Acid Metabolism and Nutrient-Stimulated Hormone Responses After Malabsorptive Metabolic Surgery: RYGB Versus SADI-S

Background/Objectives: Bariatric–metabolic surgery (BMS) improves obesity through neuroendocrine mechanisms involving bile acids (BAs) and nutrient-stimulated gastrointestinal hormones. However, the underlying pathophysiology involved remains poorly understood. BAs are essential...

Structure–Redox–Magnetism Dynamics Induced by Pd–Fe Interaction in Mixed Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract The incorporation of noble metals into iron oxide nanomaterials represents an effective strategy to tailor their redox and structural properties through metal-oxide interactions. However, a detailed experimental understanding of these effects is limited. This work invest...

Health Outcomes and Medical Response in Military Maneuvers: A Study of Morbidity, Treatment, and Evacuation

INTRODUCTION: Military maneuvers represent a health care challenge: They are essential for preventing occupational accidents and providing rapid and appropriate care for injuries and conditions resulting from physical exertion and extreme environments. OBJECTIVE: To describe and...

The dynamics of language and culture in lexical semantics and discourse

Abstract This special issue explores the relationship between language, culture, and cognition through studies of lexical semantics, semantic change, metaphor, and discourse. Bringing together perspectives from cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, cognitive ethnolinguisti...

Inverse Gas Chromatography Characterization of Cellulose Nanofibers: Impact of Chemical Composition on Surface Properties

ABSTRACT Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was employed to investigate how the presence of hemicellulose influences surface properties and adsorption behavior of cellulose nanofibers. Two samples prepared under equivalent processing conditions were compared: cellulose rich nanofib...

Drug-related problems and pharmacist interventions within a pharmaceutical care programme in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Background Patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are exposed to highly complex pharmacotherapy, substantially increasing the risk of drug-related problems (DRPs). Objective To describe the frequency, causes and status of DRPs, as well...

Dynamic Learning by Importing: New Insights Using the Local Projections Approach and Matching Techniques

ABSTRACT We study the dynamic effect of learning by importing on the productivity of Ecuadorian manufacturing firms that start to import intermediate inputs. To this end, we apply the local projections methodology to firm‐level data combined with matching techniques. Our results...

Encoding paremias as sets of proverbial markers: a computational study on Petronius’ Cena Trimalchionis

Abstract The goal of this work is to analyse the paremias contained in Petronius’ Cena Trimalchionis (CT) through qualitative, quantitative, and computational points of view to identify measures of their degree of proverbiality. We explore a typology of proverbial markers, includ...

Joint Modeling of GD-1 and C-19 as Old Streams

Abstract DESI observational data for the GD-1 and C-19 streams are compared to stream simulations in an evolving multihalo potential of a Milky Way–like galaxy based on a cosmological Milky Way–like simulation. The number of subhalos decreases with time, and the subhalo-stream en...

Microbial Network Signatures Associated With Outcomes of Peri‐Implantitis Therapy

ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the microbial network signatures associated with outcomes following surgical therapy of peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Microbiological data from a 1‐year randomised controlled trial of 28 patients (28 implants) were analysed. Based on a compos...

Contraceptive use in women of childbearing age with bipolar disorder

INTRODUCTION: Unplanned pregnancies are frequent in women with bipolar disorder (BD) while perinatal period is associated with a higher risk of relapse. Effective contraception during childbearing age in BD could reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and its consequences. The pr...

Domain‐Wall Circulation Gating and Pinning via Compositional Engineering of Cylindrical Nanowires

ABSTRACT Spintronic devices based on cylindrical magnetic nanowires have been proposed as a route toward three–dimensional (3D) information storage and processing by harnessing the controlled motion of domain walls (DWs). In this geometry, the Bloch‐point wall (BPW) is the charac...

Breaking the Blend: A multi-tracer kinematic decomposition method for IFS data applied to disentangling the AGN outflow and circumnuclear ring in NGC 5728 with JWST

Abstract Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) of the central kiloparsecs of active galactic nuclei (AGN) reveals a mixture of spatially coincident emission from star-formation and AGN feedback exciting the interstellar medium. Disentangling these components remains a challenge, as m...

Critical Membrane Concentration and Baseline Toxicity of Organic Pollutants in a High-Throughput Rainbow Trout Cell Assay

Abstract A high-throughput RTgill-W1 cytotoxicity assay (RTgillHT) was developed using 384-well plates and live/dead staining combined with high-content imaging to quantify cytotoxicity. RTgillHT facilitated a significant increase in sample throughput compared to the OECD Test Gu...

Algorithmic Visibility and Automated Continuation: Infrastructural Mediation in Streaming Platforms

AI-mediated communication is commonly associated with conversational agents, generative systems, and emotionally responsive interfaces. This article examines Top-10 rankings and autoplay as forms of infrastructural mediation embedded in streaming-platform interfaces and discusses...

Getting into the guts of eating disorders in children and adolescents, with a perspective from psychoneuroimmunology (the PSYNIGED study): an observational, longitudinal study protocol

Abstract Background Eating disorders (ED) are severe and complex psychiatric conditions characterized by the presence of abnormal eating patterns. An integrative biopsychosocial model has been developed to describe vulnerability to developing an ED, as well as its maintenance and...

Validating Type 2 Diabetes Diagnoses Across the Madrid Hospital Network: Evidence for Secondary Use of the CMBD in the European Health Data Space

Background/Objectives: Hospital discharge data are increasingly reused for research and within health data spaces, but their value depends on accurate diagnostic coding. The validity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) coding in the Spanish hospital discharge database (CMBD) had n...

Mitochondrial genome and morphological variability of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) from an organic olive orchard in Southern Spain

Background The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae , is the most damaging pest of olive production. This study aimed to characterize the intraspecific morphological variability and assemble the complete mitochondrial genome of a population from an organic olive orchard in Órgiva (G...

RNA Synthesis and Degradation Regulate Biomolecular Condensates through Nonequilibrium Feedback

Abstract Transcriptional condensates operate far from equilibrium, where continuous RNA synthesis and degradation dynamically reshape condensate composition. To investigate how RNA synthesis regulates condensate properties at submolecular resolution, we introduce REACT-RNA, a che...

Blood-brain barrier opening with focused ultrasound reduces neuromelanin in a non-human primate model.

Age-related accumulation of neuromelanin (NM) has been implicated in the intrinsic vulnerability of catecholaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. Postmortem studies in Parkinson's disease patients have revealed elevated intracellular and extracellular NM in the substantia nig...
