Should I drink water or wine? Impacts of online nutritional counseling on the alcohol consumption of elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment

Abstract Background People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have an increased health risk when they consume alcohol in comparison with people without cognitive impairment. Excessive alcohol consumption is an established modifiable risk factor that contributes to the risk of d...

Development of a prospective clinical workflow for proton beam therapy of ventricular tachycardia

Abstract Purpose This study presents a prospective preclinical workflow for proton beam therapy of refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), covering target transfer, treatment planning (TP), and beam gating. Methods Photon-based stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) protoc...

The nature and evolution of EU funds for migration and asylum: introducing the MigFund dataset 2000–2023

Abstract This article introduces the MigFund dataset, a comprehensive resource that traces the European Union’s financial commitments to migration and asylum from 2000 to 2023. Developed in response to long-standing calls to ‘follow the money’ in EU migration governance, the data...

Agricultural Reuse of Phosphogypsum in Contrasting Soils: Wheat Yield, Potentially Toxic Element Uptake, and Soil Microbial Community Responses

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a high-volume industrial by-product that is receiving increasing attention as an alternative soil amendment. This study presents a two-year pot experiment evaluating the effects of PG on spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown on two contrasting soils: an...

Decrease of magnetocaloric effect and magnetic susceptibility of ferromagnet due to magnetostructural phase transition

Abstract In the present article the impact of the first-order magnetostructural phase transition (MSPT) on the spin-exchange energy density has been considered to estimate the influence of MSPT on the magnetic susceptibility of ferromagnetic solid and magnetocaloric effect (MCE)....

Seasonality and functional traits of periphytic algae shape zooperiphyton colonization

Abstract We investigated the influence of seasonality and the phycoperiphyton on the colonization dynamics of zooperiphyton on artificial polyethylene terephthalate substrates in a tropical hypereutrophic reservoir. We tested the hypothesis that seasonal climatic conditions drive...

Beyond Charge: Field‐Effect Transistors in Multimodal Biosensing Platforms for Biomolecular Interaction Studies

ABSTRACT Field‐effect transistors (FETs) have long been recognized as highly promising platforms for label‐free and real‐time biosensing, offering a route toward compact, low‐cost, and portable devices. Despite their earlier development compared to other transducer technologies l...

How transgender, gender diverse (TGD) and cisgender youth cope with daily stress: Insights from an Ecological Momentary Assessment Study

This study investigated gender minority stress (GMS), coping, and mental health in trans, gender diverse (TGD) and cis youth in Germany and Austria and explored immediate effects of coping on stress in daily life. A 14-day Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) study containing th...

From ACR O‐RADS 2022 to Explainable Deep Learning

Objectives The 2022 update of the Ovarian‐Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O‐RADS) improves risk stratification of adnexal lesions; however, radiologist interpretation remains subject to inter‐observer variability and conservative diagnostic thresholds. Concurrently, deep learn...

Comparative analysis of mental health among Austrian farmers and the general population

Although farmers face significant mental health challenges globally, no studies have explored this issue in German-speaking countries. This study is the first to assess the mental health of Austrian farmers, comparing their well-being to that of the general population. A cross-se...
