Evaluation of a novel flexible, lightweight blanket-like torso coil in pediatric MRI at 1.5-T – initial experience

Abstract Background Conventional phased-array torso coils used for abdominal MRI are relatively heavy and inflexible, potentially affecting patient comfort and technologist workflow. Objective To compare image quality, patient experience, and technologist experience using a recen...

Analyzing Representations of Asian American Characters and Stories on the Book Covers of Newbery, Caldecott, and Printz Award-Winning Children’s and Youth Literature

Abstract This study examined representations of Asian American characters and their stories as depicted on the covers of 18 American Library Association award-winning books for children and young adults published between 2017 and 2025. The awards focused on were the John Newbery...

Social media use and depression across 11 years of U.S. adult data

Controversy surrounds the relationship between social media use and depression. Prior research has relied on single datasets, narrower age groups or broad measures of screen time, leaving uncertainty about whether associations of social media use and depression were stable across...

Fitting Accumulated Stock Returns with Tempered Skew t-Distribution

We analyze the distributions of historic S&P500 multi-day returns for the number of days of accumulation from 20 to 120. With the increase in the number of days of accumulation, we observe clear tempering of power-law tails toward a seemingly finite value. To explain this phenome...

Empiric MRSA Coverage for Children with Osteoarticular Infections: 2015 to 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative pathogen for children with acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) and acute bacterial arthritis (ABA). National guidelines recommend empiric coverage for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) at hospita...

Newcomer and Incumbent Exit After Comobility Hiring Events

ABSTRACT Newcomers comprise substantial portions of modern workforces, yet they represent high exit risks due to their lack of embeddedness in their new firms. Organizations often source new employees via comobility, wherein newcomers join simultaneously from another firm. Despit...

Reduced IP6K levels impair life-cycle transitions and intracellular development of Trypanosoma cruzi within human cardiomyocytes

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease (CD). During its life cycle, T. cruzi undergoes several key differentiation processes that are essential for its survival. The precise mechanisms that regulate these processes remain elusive, and any interference in thi...

Urinary dysfunction following single-level lumbar fusion in men: A propensity-matched analysis of surgical approach

Background: Urinary dysfunction remains an underrecognized complication of spine surgery, despite its potential impact on postoperative quality of life. However, comparative data evaluating urinary outcomes by surgical approach among men undergoing single-level lumbar fusion rema...

BODIPY-Integrated Porous Materials: Design Principles, Functional Architectures, and Emerging Applications

Abstract The incorporation of functional organic chromophores into porous architectures has emerged as a powerful strategy to bridge molecular photophysics with materials-level performance. Among these, boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives offer a unique combination of stron...

Small Business Judging Judges

We find that shifts toward more liberal (i.e., less probusiness) courts predict reductions in local small business activity. A one-standard-deviation increase in liberal ideology predicts a 1% reduction in firm count relative to bordering counties in different federal court juris...

Designing separation and uplift: structural problem-solving in brassiere design, 1890s–1970s

Purpose Breast separation and uplift are frequently cited objectives in brassiere design, yet they are rarely examined as explicit structural design mechanisms within textile and apparel research. Existing studies typically address these outcomes indirectly through evaluations of...

The C117D oxidation mimic reveals the monomeric structure of SARS ‐ CoV ‐2 main protease

Abstract The SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (M pro ) is essential for viral replication and functions as a homodimer, with dimerization being critical for catalytic activity. M pro contains an unusually high number of cysteine residues. Among these, C117 and the catalytic nucleophile C...

We Succeeded, But Did I Learn? How Team Role Orientations Affect Individual‐Level Transfer of Team Training

ABSTRACT An extensive body of evidence supports the benefits of team training on team outcomes, yet the extent to which individuals themselves benefit from such training remains largely underexplored. Drawing on role and self‐regulation theories, this study examines how team role...

Preoperative embolization for glioblastoma surgery: A scoping review

Background: Preoperative embolization for glioblastoma (GBM) is a relatively uncommon procedure, and few studies have described its role as an adjunct to surgery. Methods: PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, and ScienceDirect were searched following the Preferred Reporting Items for Scopin...

Caregiver Perspectives on Implementation of Discharge Plans for Children With Medical Complexity

OBJECTIVE The quality of discharge processes impacts adverse outcomes post hospitalization for children with medical complexity (CMC). Perspectives of caregivers at risk for communication challenges (eg, non-English speakers, those with limited health literacy, immigrants) on und...

Joint profiling of immune-endothelial cells in sepsis: promise, pitfalls, and the path forward

Sepsis can result in organ dysfunction and death through the convergence of immune dysregulation and microvascular endothelial injury.1,2 Although the host immune response is routinely profiled among critically ill patients,3 the endothelium has escaped the same scrutiny because...
