Hair cortisol as a marker of physiologic stress in residency training
Hair cortisol analysis allows assessment of long-term cortisol exposure and may provide insight into chronic hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activation in medical residents and residency on-call responsibilities. To determine the hair cortisol concentration (HCC) representing 3 mo...

Abstract Designing high-performance single-atom catalysts with a precisely designed configuration is important in extensive energy-conversion technologies, which presents enormous potentials to be extensively applied. Defect-enriched conjugated coordination polymer aerogels (d-CC...

Monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages are increasingly recognized as key contributors to the initiation and progression of inflammatory conditions, in part through metabolic reprogramming that drives pathogenic inflammatory phenotypes. However, the upstream mechanisms that c...

ABSTRACT A stable anode‐electrolyte interface is vital for battery cycling. Translating the successful anion‐derived interphase paradigm from Li‐ion to aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs) is hindered by narrow electrochemical windows and chaotic interfacial reactions. Here we overcom...

Multiscale carbon burden of infrastructure in the United States
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions vary spatially with development patterns, climate, economic structure, and energy systems. Using Vulcan v4.0 fossil-fuel CO2 (FFCO2) data for the United States at 1-km resolution, this study examines how land use and infrastructure sha...

Fossil denticles reveal how ocean productivity shapes shark baselines and recovery potential
Shark populations on coral reefs have declined globally, but few baselines exist to quantify natural variability before human impact. Using fossil dermal denticles preserved in reef sediments, we reconstructed shark communities across the Isthmus of Panama before substantial expl...

Leadership for climate-resilient healthcare: insights from an ATACH technical meeting
Introduction Climate change is increasingly recognised as both a public health emergency and a systemic stressor on healthcare systems. While many healthcare organisations have articulated ambitious climate and sustainability commitments, progress is frequently constrained by gap...

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) has advanced through convolutional, attention-based, transformer, and hybrid architectures, yet models are commonly compared as whole architectural families rather than by how their temporal streams interact. This study introduces the Tempor...

Representation as intervention: A reply to Unal, Polillo, Caliskan, and MacKenzie
Abstract In their article ‘The modes of performativity’, Unal et al. (2025) argue that the concept of ‘representational interventions’ provides a basis for a meta-theoretical framework through which to understand the performativity literature. Building on a previously published a...

OBJECTIVE: Dairy consumption plays a protective role in obesity that may be mediated through the gut microbiota. This study examined the role of dairy proteins, casein, whey, and complete dairy (skim milk powder), and a plant-based alternative, soy, on gut microbiota composition,...

Chronic Mild Circadian Disruption Alters Anxiety-Like Behavior and Spatial Navigation in Adult Mice
Sleep and circadian disruption adversely impacts mental health and physiology. Such disruption varies in degree and emerges from numerous causes, ranging from severe disruption arising from rotating shift work or frequent jetlag to more mild circadian stress experienced by people...

Microheterogeneityand Ion Clustering in Aqueous PotassiumDihydrogen Phosphate Solutions
Abstract The molecular-scale organization in concentrated aqueous potassium dihydrogen phosphate solutions may play a critical role in their behavior, such as in the structural processes that precede crystal nucleation. In this work, molecular dynamics simulations are used to inv...

Abstract Associations between patterns of brain connectivity and brain structural features have transdiagnostic relevance to psychopathology. There is considerable evidence for disruptions to the hippocampus and temporoparietal brain systems in psychotic disorders. The present st...

AbstractParkinson's disease and influenza virus infection present with entirely different clinical pictures, yet both have been linked to shared inflammatory and neuroimmune mechanisms, an interest dating back to post-encephalitic parkinsonism following the 1918 influenza pandemi...

Polysaccharide coatings unlock high-performance TiO2 UV filters for sunscreen formulations
Designing mineral ultraviolet (UV) filters that combine strong UV absorption and photostability remains an open challenge. Conventional silica coatings only partially mitigate the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and rely on energy-intensive synthesis. Here, we...
