Clinically integrated breastfeeding peer counseling to promote breastfeeding equity: Research protocol for patient-centered costs of infant feeding and lactation care

Despite national and international recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding to 6 months of age, 44% of infants receive no breastmilk at this important milestone, imposing a significant cost on the US economy vis a vis elevated cardiovascular, infectious, and metabolic disease...

Originality in art and other artifacts: an etiological-ecological approach

Abstract This paper proposes an account of artifact function that applies equally to artworks, everyday artifacts, and highly specialized technical artifacts. This unified account of artifact function centers on the notion of proper function and combines reproduction history (eti...

Criteria for unbiased estimation: applications to noise-agnostic sensing and quantum channel estimation

We establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for local unbiased estimation in multi-parameter estimation tasks. More specifically, we first consider quantum state estimation, where multiple parameters are encoded in a quantum state, and derive simple and intuitive necessa...

Clinical usability of an explainable AI decision support tool and evaluation of multimodal models in NSCLC

Abstract Despite a decade in, immunotherapy (IO) treatment selection in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains largely guided by subgroup analyses and imperfect programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and clinical scores. To our knowledge, I 3 LUNG ( NCT05537922 ) is currently the...

Outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with versus without lateral extra‐articular tenodesis: A propensity‐matched cohort study

Abstract Purpose Lateral extra‐articular tenodesis (LET) has gained increasing use as an adjunct to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to improve rotational stability and reduce graft failure. However, concerns remain regarding its potential impact on postoperative...

Immunotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Disparities in Access and Opportunities for Equity

Abstract Purpose of Review This review examines disparities in the use of immunotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a focus on racial, ethnic and socioeconomic differences in access to treatment. We review the current immunotherapy landscape, various factors co...

Open-access model for detecting openly dumped dispersed municipal solid waste from crowdsourced UAV imagery in Sub-Saharan Africa

Managing municipal solid waste in rapidly urbanizing Sub-Saharan Africa remains challenging due to dispersed informal dumping and limited high-resolution datasets for spatial monitoring. We present an open-access deep learning model for automated detection of openly dumped disper...

Conference Goals And Learning Preferences Among Attendees at A National Surgical Meeting

Objective This study evaluated differences in conference goals and preferred learning modalities across demographic groups at a national surgical conference. Design An optional online survey collected demographic information (gender, practice type, role, years in independent prac...

Development of a Web Application to Calculate the Number and Proportion of Procedures Submitted to Medicare Part B by Advanced Practice Providers

Background The role of advanced practice providers (APPs) in procedural care in the U.S. is growing. However, research comparing outcomes of procedures performed by APPs vs physicians is limited. Objective To develop a free web application for publicly available data which calcul...

The parent bodies of Ryugu and Ivuna formed before those of other carbonaceous chondrites

Most carbonaceous chondrite (CC) meteorites contain abundant chondrules, millimeter-scale spherical inclusions of previously molten material. Ivuna-type carbonaceous chondrites (CIs) do not contain chondrules, nor do samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu. CIs and Ryugu share...

The Python simulations of chemistry framework: 10 years of an open-source quantum chemistry project

Over the past decade, the Python-based Simulations of Chemistry Framework (PySCF) has developed into a widely used open-source platform for electronic-structure theory and quantum chemical method development. This article reviews the major advances since the previous overview in...

Correlations of error terms for weighted prime counting functions

Standard prime-number counting functions, such as ψ(x), θ(x), and π(x), have error terms with limiting logarithmic distributions once suitably normalized. The same is true of weighted versions of those sums, like πr(x)=∑p≤x1p and πℓ(x)=∑p≤xlog(1−1p)−1, that were studied by Merten...

Clinical trial barriers in neurostimulation for pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy

Abstract Objective The NeuroPace responsive neurostimulation (RNS) System effectively treats focal drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) in adults but lacks pediatric regulatory approval. Despite effective off‐label pediatric use, systemic device‐trial challenges have impeded label expan...

Markers of microvascular instability predict severity and survival in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Introduction Most research on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has focused on the interplay among fibroblasts, the immune system and epithelial cells. There is growing evidence that microvascular dysfunction also plays a role in disease progression, but large human translation...

Why translation is not enough and how functional language use can improve cultural adaptation in bilingual implementation settings

Despite widespread bilingualism, most intervention adaptation efforts remain grounded in monolingual assumptions. This approach poorly reflects how bilingual communication functions. Research in sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics shows that bilingual speakers do not “turn off...

The Ethics of Growth-Promoting Pharmaceuticals for Achondroplasia

In 2021, vosoritide became the first pharmaceutical approved to treat the pathophysiology of achondroplastic dwarfism. It has generated significant ethical debate. Proponents emphasize its potential to improve quality of life and functional independence, whereas critics raise con...

Assessing Value of Behavioral Interventions: Designing Cost-Effectiveness Analyses for Food-Is-Medicine Interventions

Food-is-Medicine (FIM) interventions, including medically tailored meals, medically tailored groceries, and produce prescriptions, represent a promising approach to prevent, manage, and treat diet-related diseases. As the evidence base for FIM interventions expands through large-...

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture

The evolution of habitual bipedalism was a defining milestone in human history, yet fossil evidence indicates substantial variation in how bipedality was practiced. Trabecular bone, which responds throughout life to joint loading and orientation, offers a powerful way to investig...
