The Microbiota–Gut–Brain Axis and Nutritional Interventions in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Pathophysiological Mechanisms, Neuroinflammation, and Non-Motor Manifestations—Scoping Review

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which systemic pathophysiological alterations significantly contribute to disease progression and non-motor manifestations, such as depression and anxiety. The microbiota–gut–brain axis represents...

Quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane

Abstract In the present work we explore for the first time the general structure and properties of the nonperturbative quark-gluon vertex in the complex plane. Specifically, we focus on the transversely-projected quark-gluon vertex that emerges from a recently developed symmetry-...

Eating Behavior Latent Profiles and Their Associations With Body Composition in Early Childhood: The CORALS Cohort

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to identify sex‐specific eating behavior profiles and assess the associations between eating behaviors subscales and profiles and body composition indices in Spanish preschoolers from the CORALS cohort. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional an...

Association between risk of eating disorders and an unhealthy lifestyle score in university students: uniHcos project

Introduction The first year of university is a critical period for the consolidation of lifestyle habits and has been associated with an increased risk of developing eating disorders (EDs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of ED risk among first-year Spanish university s...

Development and reproducible description of a multimodal physiotherapy intervention for pelvic floor health: a methodological report

Female pelvic floor disorders are frequently managed through interventions focused on pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). However, pelvic floor function is increasingly recognised as being influenced by the interaction between breathing, posture, movement, and lumboabdominopelvi...

Aging is associated with altered estrogen receptor expression and alters redox protein balance in human female skeletal muscle

Abstract It has been hypothesized that age‑related declines in skeletal muscle and vascular function in females may be partly estrogen‑dependent. This study investigated skeletal muscle protein expression of estrogen receptor α (ERα), estrogen receptor β (ERβ), and G protein–coup...

Efficient protocol to estimate the Quantum Fisher Information Matrix for commuting-block circuits

Abstract The Quantum Fisher Information Matrix (QFIM) quantifies how sensitive parameterized quantum states are to changes in their parameters. Recently, it has been used to improve variational quantum algorithm optimization through geometry-aware techniques. However, estimating...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...

Empathy and Interpersonal Sensitivity in Pornography Use and Problematic Pornography Use: A Narrative Review

Abstract Purpose of Review Pornography consumption has become increasingly prevalent in digital environments, with a subset of individuals developing problematic pornography use (PPU). Despite growing research interest, limited attention has been given to the role of empathy and...

Employee exposure to HRD and training transfer: the mediating role of formal training evaluation and the moderating role of informal learning behaviors

Purpose This study investigates the mechanisms underlying the association between employee exposure to Human Resource Development (HRD) and training transfer, focusing on the mediating role of formal training evaluation and the moderating role of informal learning behaviors. Buil...

Empirical Optimization of the Stumpf Method Parameter for Satellite-Derived Bathymetry

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) based on the Stumpf log-ratio method routinely uses a fixed parameter n = 1000, a convention that has rarely been evaluated systematically. This study assesses empirically how SDB error varies with n across 31 bathymetric scenarios at 18 coastal...

Light states in real 3HDMs with spontaneous CP violation and softly broken symmetries

Abstract Scalar sectors with several Higgs doublets, a CP invariant potential, and a CP violating vacuum, possess a mass spectrum in which, unexpectedly, new scalars cannot have masses much larger than the electroweak scale once perturbativity requirements are imposed on the quar...

What counts as good evidence of mechanisms? The Support-Absence Framework

Abstract Over the past two decades, evidence of mechanisms has achieved great relevance in methodology and philosophy of science. Several authors have argued that such evidence should play a more central role in scientific practice. Nonetheless, important concerns have been raise...

Building Climate-Resilient Mediterranean Olive Systems: Integrating Soil, Water, Carbon, Biodiversity, and Innovation for a Sustainable Future

Abstract Mediterranean olive systems face compound climatic, ecological, and socio-economic pressures. Drawing on the consensus of the International Conference on Sustainability in Olive Cultivation (ICSOC) 2025, we propose an integrated framework structured along three axes: fiv...

Prevalence of Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is the most frequently reported anatomical variant of the thoracic systemic venous system. While its association with congenital heart disease (CHD) is well recognized, its prevalence within CHD populations and its relative occurrence co...

Low Back Pain as a Nursing Education Priority

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability globally, and a major rehabilitation priority, yet nursing education often does not translate burden evidence into first-contact actions across care settings. This article aimed to develop a nursing education...

Recombination drives genome evolution in outbreak-related Legionella pneumophila isolate

Legionella pneumophila is a strictly environmental pathogen and the etiological agent of legionellosis. It is known that non-vertical processes have a major role in the short-term evolution of pathogens, but little is known about the relevance of these and other processes in envi...

Mitochondrial aggregates as a novel quality control mechanism and potential relationship to lipofuscinogenesis

Mitochondria employ quality control mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Under chronic stress, these systems become overwhelmed, causing intramitochondrial aggregates formation. As a potential quality control process when canonical pathways are compromised, we propose a model of m...
