The Recognition and Vulnerability of Olympic Sports: The Case of Basque Pelota (1900–1992)

The path to Olympic recognition remains challenging for many disciplines. While some sports successfully navigate this road, traditional and regional sports face significant barriers. Basque pelota exemplifies these difficulties. Its case highlights the challenges a sport can fac...

Tricking Turing: How to Build a Geometric Checkerboard on Living Tissue

The snake’s head fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris) displays one of the rarest pigmentation motifs in the plant kingdom: a high-contrast checkerboard of alternating purple and white domains on its tepals. Standard reaction–diffusion theory does not generically produce this patter...

In vivo quantification of polyethylene wear in total ankle arthroplasty

Aims In vivo assessment of polyethylene (PE) wear in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) relies on approximation using 2D metal interspace height (2D-MIH) loss on weightbearing radiographs. Weightbearing CT (WBCT), combined with distance mapping, may improve quantification of PE wear...

Tail Modulo Async-Await

This article extends tail-call optimisation by applying it to asynchronous calls. We first introduce TMA, a novel code transformation for asynchronous tail recursive functions that prevents the creation of unnecessary tasks. We then show how to combine TMA with the existing TMC o...

Breast cancer metabolism and responsiveness to dichloroacetate: relationships with 15N and 13C natural abundance

Abstract Background Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of breast cancer (BrCa), with alterations in glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, and the urea cycle contributing to tumour progression. Dichloroacetate (DCA), a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor, shifts metabolis...

Timing of antifibrotic therapy and prognosis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: real-world evidence from the French Colibri-ILD SNDS database

According to the French 2022 National guideline, antifibrotic therapy should be initiated as soon as a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is made, taking into account the individual assessment of the expected benefit and risks of treatment. However, in practice, tre...

Neutron elastic scattering at $$\varvec{30.8}$$ MeV on $$\varvec{^{\text {nat}}\textrm{Ce}}$$

Abstract Elastic scattering of fast neutrons at an incident energy of 30.8 MeV on a natural cerium target was measured during an experiment conducted at the Neutrons For Science facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2. This is the first measurement on cerium using incident neutron energy above...

Morphological and Size‐Dependent Enrichment of Endotoxins in Coastal Spray Aerosols: Implications for Regional Respiratory Health Risks

Abstract Sea spray aerosols (SSA) transport bioactive substances that affect the Earth's environmental and climate system. We investigated the enrichment of endotoxins (LPS), characterized their influence on the SSA morphologies, and evaluated the respiratory tract deposition. LP...

Agreement of Hematologic Measurements Between Jugular and Coccygeal Puncture Sites in Cattle

ABSTRACT Background In bovine medicine, venipuncture is commonly performed at either the jugular or coccygeal vein. Although the coccygeal site is often preferred for practical reasons, sampling sites are inconsistently standardized in scientific studies. It is therefore importan...

Exploring the feasibility of an air sensor array for real-time detection and characterization of VOCs

Abstract. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important class of atmospheric chemical species that can be directly harmful to human health and contribute to the formation of hazardous secondary products. Measurements of ambient VOCs are typically made using “offline” techniq...

Origin of Long‐Wavelength Variations in Crustal Thickness on Rocky Planets

Abstract Long‐wavelength crustal thickness variations are observed on telluric planets, particularly on Mars and the Moon whereas Mercury appears to lack such variations. They may stem from two early‐stage positive feedback mechanisms that can emerge in stagnant‐lid planets. Both...

Early evaluation of the WCT EVI MAP project: implementation, challenges, and emerging impact on evidence-based tumour classification

<ns5:p>Background The WHO Classification of Tumours (WCT) underpins cancer diagnosis globally, but the evidence-base used to inform tumour classification has never been systematically appraised. The WCT EVI MAP project was designed to address this need by developing a structured,...

Experimental causal inference from measurements alone in the presence of spatial and temporal quantum correlations

The causal structure of a set of events specifies which events influence which others. Determining this structure, known as causal inference, is a fundamental task in science. Reset-style intervention is commonly used to determine causal structure in classical scenarios. However,...

The top 10 priorities in palliative care research in France: final results of the AXEPRO study

Prioritizing research is essential to reduce waste, particularly in palliative care, a field with historically limited investment. To identify and rank the top 10 unanswered palliative care research questions in France according to patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals a...

Imaging in France: 2026 Update

France has seen significant advancements in radiology in recent years, driven by innovations in research and clinical practice. French groups have developed innovative imaging techniques and artificial intelligence applications in the field of diagnostic imaging and interventiona...

Simultaneous versus Sequential Cessation of Tobacco and Cannabis: Preferences of Young Adults Who Co‐Use in France

ABSTRACT Introduction Co‐use of tobacco and cannabis is common among young adults and is associated with higher dependence and quitting difficulties. Little is known about the preference for simultaneous or sequential dual cessation in this population. We aimed to explore prefere...

Effects of a virtual reality hypnosis intervention on chronic pain: a user experience and proof-of-concept study

<title>Abstract</title> Chronic pain is a significant public health issue in Canada, with approximately one in four Canadians over the age of 15 living with this condition. Due to its impact on individuals—both physically and psychologically—and its financial burden on the health...

An N-terminal CDC42 T43I variant reveals the mechanism of pyrin inflammasome activation

Heterozygous carboxyl-terminal variants in the RHO guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) CDC42 are known to cause severe autoinflammatory syndromes. Here, we identified a heterozygous amino-terminal p.T43I (Thr 43 →Ile) CDC42 variant in patients with autoinflammation and uncovered a...

Meltwater transport and mixing-layer growth near the ice–ocean interface

Ice melting into saline water plays a fundamental role in the dynamics near the ice–ocean interface in polar oceans. The physics of meltwater transport involves a non-trivial interplay between the thermodynamics at the interface, hydrodynamic transport in the bulk and the propert...

Microencapsulation of Araucaria angustifolia bract extract: protection and bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in chitosan-based systems

Abstract Purpose Native to South America, Araucaria angustifolia bracts (an underutilized by-product of seed processing) account for nearly 80% of the pinecone and are commonly discarded. The lyophilized aqueous extract obtained from these residues is rich in phenolic compounds (...
