Contraceptive use in women of childbearing age with bipolar disorder
INTRODUCTION: Unplanned pregnancies are frequent in women with bipolar disorder (BD) while perinatal period is associated with a higher risk of relapse. Effective contraception during childbearing age in BD could reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and its consequences. The pr...

Experimental impact study on a micro-grid project in rural Madagascar: The Café Lumière project
This paper evaluates the impact of a pilot innovative project aiming at promoting a replicable model to create access to distributed electricity in rural areas where grid extension is economically infeasible. The project proposes building solar-powered micro-grids to provide affo...

Faithful Universal Graphs for Minor-Closed Classes
Abstract. It was proved by Huynh et al. [ Universality in Minor-Closed Graph Classes, preprint, arXiv:2109.00327, 2021] that any countable graph containing every countable planar graph as a subgraph has an infinite clique minor. We prove a finite, quantitative version of this res...

Combining TAG ‐ 72CAR with anti‐ MUC16CAR improves the potency of ovarian cancer treatment
Ovarian cancer (OC) is typically associated with poor prognosis and high mortality. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy offers a promising strategy, yet its application in solid tumours remains constrained by limited efficacy and on‐target/off‐tumour toxicities. We pre...

Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming relies on selecting electrode contacts that maximize clinical benefit while minimizing side effects. The therapeutic window (range of current yielding symptom improvement without adverse effects) is a key criterion in this decisio...

Background/Objectives: To address current aggressive breast cancer challenges, a novel series of eight N-chalconyl imidazolidone derivatives (N-CIMZs 1–8) was synthesized and evaluated for direct cytotoxicity and immunomodulation via macrophage polarization. Methods: Following an...

MANAGING STIFFNESS AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY: SURGICAL STRATEGIES AND RESULTS
Introduction Knee stiffness is a common complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several surgical options are available to address this issue, including manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), arthrolysis and TKA revision. This study aimed to assess the functional outco...

Background: Community-acquired intra-abdominal infections (CA-IAIs) exhibit significant clinical heterogeneity. However, most studies focusing on CA-IAIs do not stratify comparisons by infection site. Methods: This post hoc analysis of the prospective multicenter PERICOM cohort (...

International Protocol for the Study of Amorphous Charred Objects in Archaeology (IPSACO 1.0)
Abstract Archaeobotanists around the world increasingly recognise that, alongside commonly studied materials such as seeds, fruits, wood charcoal, and chaff, archaeobotanical samples also contain fragments of carbonised organic (and sometimes inorganic) matter that vary in shape...

From fluid loss to calcification: MRI and CT matrix features in cystic echinococcosis
Abstract Objective To characterize MRI matrix signal and CT calcification patterns across WHO-IWGE stages, compare them with lesion mimicking cystic echinococcosis (CE), and derive an MRI-based subclassification for inactive cysts. Materials and methods This retrospective multice...

Sensory plasticity of dorsal horn silent neurons as a critical mechanism for neuropathic pain
The spinal cord dorsal horn (DH) integrates sensory processing but undergoes critical plasticity following nerve injury, leading to mechanical allodynia, or “touch-evoked pain”. It has been proposed that after nerve injury, innocuous sensory neurons gain access to nociceptive-spe...

Postural control in plant shoots relies on gravi- and photo- tropisms, driven by angular sensing and actuated by differential growth or reaction wood formation (tension wood in dicots). Control theory and kinematical models predict that posture stabilization additionally requires...

Oral health and systemic health outcomes: A call for interdisciplinary action
Abstract Objectives To make the case, from periodontology and dental public health, for interdisciplinary action on oral and systemic health, and to set out recommendations for practice, policy, education, and research. Materials and Methods A joint working group of the European...
