Viroelixir Exhibits Cell-Line-Specific Anticancer Activity and Enhances Chemosensitivity in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Associated Changes in Apoptosis, Redox Homeostasis, and Oncogenic Signaling

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a major global health burden despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The development of novel therapeutic agents with improved efficacy and reduced toxicity is therefore urgently needed. This study investigated the...

Association Between Donor HLA-DQ Heterodimers Group and Graft Loss in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Background: Combinations of HLA-DQ α1 and β1 chains are restricted to specific groups: group 1 (G1), comprising DQA1*02/03/04/05/06 with DQB1*02/03/04, and group 2 (G2), comprising DQA1*01 with DQB1*05/06. A recently discovered role of HLA-DQ heterodimers in hematopoietic cell tr...

Beyond taxonomic richness: Network topology and functional gene abundance reveal tillage and nitrogen as physiological and topological filters across heterogeneous corn agroecosystems

Soil microbial communities underpin key ecosystem functions, yet their responses to agricultural intensification remain difficult to predict across heterogeneous landscapes. This study evaluated the impact of nitrogen (N) fertilization rates (0–200 kg N/ha) and tillage intensity...

Incidence and Predictors of Complications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation According to VARC‐3 Criteria: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: Despite continuous advancements in devices and techniques, transcatheter aortic valve implantation remains associated with complications impacting outcomes. In 2021, the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) introduced the VARC-3 criteria to better classify proced...

Comprehensive profiling of brain dynamics during anesthesia across phylogeny

Abstract The behavioral effects of anesthetics are highly conserved across species, hinting at shared and fundamental underlying mechanisms. Here we compile a dataset of multiscale neural activity during wakefulness and anesthesia, encompassing human, macaque, marmoset, mouse, ze...

“Is it worth our time?” Understanding the educational culture of medical students and educators in addressing vaccine hesitancy

Abstract Background Vaccine uptake is declining, with vaccine hesitancy a primary cause. Although doctor recommendations are effective in influencing patient decisions, many lack confidence and skill in discussing hesitancy. This study examines how doctors and medical students pe...

The impact of physical activity and exercise timing on metabolic health among individuals at high risk of type 2 diabetes

The timing of physical activity and exercise has been suggested to play a role in metabolic health. This narrative review synthesises current evidence on the impact of habitual physical activity and exercise timing on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, blood lipids and...

Application to Dalhousie University September 2026 : A Quick Note About Information System Classifications

We have started an Application into The Dalhousie University English Program. We notice for the first time a very intelligent information system. Some documents that we did save in our Google Drive Account [but not published elsewhere*] have contributive value in the system. As f...

Immunomodulatory Effects of Galleria mellonella and Alphitobius diaperinus Protein Digestates Generated Using a Modified INFOGEST Protocol – In Vitro and In Silico Evidence

Abstract Insect-derived peptides have attracted increasing attention due to their potential health-promoting properties. This study investigated peptides released from Galleria mellonella (W) and Alphitobius diaperinus (B) proteins following a modified static INFOGEST protocol. D...

Interfacial Structuring and Functional Enhancement in Pectin-Sodium Caseinate Films Loaded with Deverra tortuosa Essential Oil Nanoemulsions

This study aimed to develop bioactive pectin-based films incorporating Deverra tortuosa (D. tortuosa) essential oil (EO) nanoemulsions stabilized by sodium caseinate for potential active food packaging applications. EO nanoemulsions were incorporated into a pectin–maltodextrin ma...

Evaluation of automated milk feeders for early detection of respiratory disease complex in dairy calves on five commercial farms

This research communication describes the evaluation of automated milk feeder (AMF) data for early detection of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in dairy calves under commercial conditions. BRD is a major health challenge in the dairy industry, contributing to increased morbidity...

Determinants of healthcare access among internally displaced persons in a conflict-affected district of Burkina Faso: a cross-sectional study

In Burkina Faso, escalating violence since 2015 has triggered a humanitarian crisis, particularly in the Sahel region, where health service disruption is widespread. While universal health coverage remains a global priority, empirical evidence on the specific drivers of self-repo...

Global policy determinants of national human papillomavirus vaccine introductions in 2006–2025

BACKGROUND: Although safe and effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been available since 2006, national introduction in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has progressed slowly. HPV vaccine adoption may have been shaped by evolving World Health Organization (WH...

The frequency of spawning and skipped migration in a central Canadian population of anadromous Arctic char inferred using acoustic telemetry

Understanding spawning frequency and migration behaviour is essential for managing iteroparous anadromous fishes such as Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus). Using a decade of acoustic telemetry data from southern Victoria Island, Nunavut, we examined the frequency of marine migrati...

Rapid Species-Level Classification of Urinary Pathogens from Raw LC-MS/MS Signals Using Machine Learning

Abstract Urinary tract infections are among the most common infections in humans, yet their diagnosis still depends on time-consuming workflows based on microbial culture, followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Although LC-MS/MS offers the sensitivity and specificity needed to...
