Identifying Core Persistence Areas for Emys orbicularis Through an Integrated Environmental—Spatial Modelling Framework in the Andalusia Region (Spain)

Understanding the distribution of Emys orbicularis in Andalusia is essential for assessing its conservation status within one of the most fragmented sectors of its Iberian range. In this study, we applied a modelling framework integrating environmental favourability, spatial stru...

Comparative Clinical Outcomes Between Successive Generations of Liberty Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Purpose: To compare the clinical and functional outcomes of two successive generations of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL), the original Liberty 677MY and the optimized Liberty 677CMY. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first head-to-head comparison between two successive...

Beyond [ N ]Phenylenes: Synthesis and Investigation of Linear [4] and [5]Naphthylenes Incorporating Multiple Four‐Membered Rings

ABSTRACT Ladder‐type polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (PCHs) incorporating four‐membered rings represent a unique class of organic materials with local antiaromaticity and dearomatization induced by the four‐membered rings. [ N ]Phenylenes represent the only systematically synt...

Differential effects of acute, chronic, and social defeat stress on microglial morphology in the basolateral and central amygdala, and the medial and lateral habenula

Abstract Effective stress regulation is essential for emotional health, whereas maladaptive stress responses contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Because neuron–microglia interactions are increasingly recognized as key mo...

Whole-genome sequencing of Reed-Sternberg cells identifies outcome determinants in Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a B-cell-derived malignancy characterized by rare Hodgkin and Reed–Sternberg (HRS) cells within an extensive inflammatory microenvironment. Although most patients achieve durable remission with first-line therapy, a subset relapse or e...

Routing and Downlink Resource Allocation for Multicast Traffic in LEO Satellite Constellations

ABSTRACT In this work, we optimize unicast and multicast traffic delivery over non‐terrestrial networks (NTNs) to users on the ground through direct satellite downlink (DL). We consider a gateway‐free mesh architecture with low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites interconnected via inte...

Mental Health and Psychological Constructs Related to Performance in Professional, Semi-Professional, and Competitive Adolescent Women’s Soccer Players: A Scoping Review

Background: Mental health has become a fundamental component of the sports world. Although previous studies have addressed psychological aspects of women’s soccer, no comprehensive review has mapped both mental health symptoms and adaptive psychological resources and psychophysio...

Expansion and Nitrate-Responsive Expression of NRT3 Transport Regulators in Maritime Pine

Nitrate uptake in plants is mediated by coordinated transporter systems, which include NPF, NRT2 and NRT3 proteins. While these families have been extensively studied in angiosperms, their evolution and regulation in conifers are still not well understood. In this work, we examin...

Clinical outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy in oligometastatic disease: a national real-world cohort study

Abstract Purpose We conducted the first multicentre Spanish real-world study assessing the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in oligometastatic patients treated in routine clinical practice. Methods This retrospective, multicentre observational study in...

Mammalian Predators and Red-Legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa) Releases: A Case Study

We performed a before–after control–impact (BACI) experiment to assess the impact of red-legged partridge releases on mammalian predators, a common game management measure. During three consecutive years (2014–2016), 100 farm-reared red-legged partridges were kept every year for...

Pig Slurry Management in Mediterranean Agriculture Under Real Farming Conditions: A Case Study in Southern Spain

Pig slurry management is a challenge in livestock-intensive agricultural areas, where sustainable reuse requires field applications to be translated into measurable and controllable doses. This study evaluated a field-adapted calibration procedure for pig slurry application in a...

Edge Intelligence for Satellite‐Based Earth Observation: Scheduling Image Acquisition and Processing

ABSTRACT Modern Earth Observation (EO) missions generate massive volumes of imagery that challenge existing downlink and ground‐processing capabilities, particularly for time‐critical applications. This work investigates how a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation equippe...

Incidence, Causes, and Outcomes of Conversion to Open Surgery During Minimally Invasive Left Pancreatectomy: A Prospective Multicenter Study

ABSTRACT Background Minimally invasive left pancreatectomy (MILP) has become the preferred approach to treat lesions of the pancreatic body and tail. However, the procedure may require conversion to open surgery, with reported conversion rates varying widely in the literature. Th...

Advancing Physical Therapy: Integrating Biomechanics, Neuroscience, and Systemic Health

Physical therapy has undergone substantial evolution in recent decades, extending beyond post-surgical and post-traumatic rehabilitation to encompass prevention, health promotion, differential screening, and the management of complex movement-related conditions [...]

Cord blood DNA methylation differences associated with gestational diabetes and partial consistency with maternal methylation patterns

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases offspring cardiometabolic risk, potentially through intrauterine epigenetic programming. We aimed to characterize GDM-associated DNA methylation differences in cord blood, evaluate their consistency with previously identified maternal...

Ankle muscle strength, joint hypermobility, and foot posture in children aged 5–10 years: A cross-sectional study

Abstract During childhood, foot posture, joint hypermobility, and foot and ankle strength may influence lower limb function. However, there is limited evidence analysing these variables together in the paediatric population. The study aims to analyse how foot posture, joint hyper...

Mobile genetic elements as strain-specific markers: a case study in Shewanella sp. Pdp11

Abstract Strain-level identification is a key challenge in microbiology, particularly for monitoring microorganisms of interest such as probiotics. Traditional methods based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing often lack the resolution to discriminate closely related strains. This study...

Malnutrition Severity, Morphofunctional Assessment, and Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study

PURPOSE: Malnutrition is common in lung cancer and may contribute to impaired functional status and poor survival. This study evaluated the association between GLIM-defined malnutrition, morphofunctional nutritional parameters, and one-year mortality in patients with lung cancer....

Proteo‐Metabolomic Profiling of PMM2 ‐ CDG Reveals Dysregulation of Retinoic Acid Synthesis, Myo ‐Inositol, and the Hexosamine Pathway

ABSTRACT Phosphomannomutase deficiency (PMM2‐CDG), the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG), is characterized by multisystem involvement and a lack of disease‐modifying therapies. While previous transcriptomic studies have uncovered disrupted cellular pathways,...

Preparing Future Social Educators for Artificial Intelligence: Perceived Use, Self-Reported Learning Competencies, and Professional Knowledge Requirements

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming higher education, requiring universities to prepare graduates who can use these technologies critically, ethically, and responsibly. However, socially oriented professions remain comparatively underexplored. This study examined...
