Integrating human rabies vaccines into routine immunization services in Tanzania: A participatory systems mapping study

Abstract Study aim : Human rabies is 100% preventable with post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) administered immediately after exposure to a rabid animal. In low-income countries, access to PEP is hampered by challenges, including frequent vaccine stockouts, limited facilities providi...

AmpliconSuite: an end-to-end workflow for analyzing focal amplifications in cancer genomes

Abstract Here we present AmpliconSuite, a toolkit for focal amplification analysis from cancer whole-genome sequencing that identifies extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), breakage–fusion–bridges and other amplification modes. Its ecContext module categorizes ecDNA structures to underst...

The i-Rheo Framework: A Unified Approach to Broadband Rheology and Microrheology of Soft Matter from Molecular Simulations to Biomechanics

Linear viscoelasticity provides a time-invariant mechanical fingerprint of materials and underpins predictive descriptions of their response to external deformation. The corresponding material functions reflect the hierarchy of inter- and intra-molecular interactions governing st...

Audit and feedback interventions for recruitment and retention in clinical trials: A systematic review

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study had two objectives: (1) to determine the effectiveness of audit and feedback interventions for improving recruitment and retention in randomised controlled trials (hereinafter referred to as trials) and (2) to identify and code behaviour change techniq...

Motivation in third sector co-production settings: A Self-Determination Theory perspective on sequential co-production

IMPACTThe article shows how third sector organizations can move beyond the repeated recruitment of volunteers and instead develop a renewable pipeline of co-producers. The concept of ‘sequential co-production’ explains how beneficiaries can be motivated to become future co-produc...

Collaboration in action: Protocol development across the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network

Collaboration and multidisciplinary approaches are key factors in the advancement of scientific research. This Backstory introduces the guiding philosophy and the collaborative nature of the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network (NMGN) and serves to set the foundation for the conte...

Did Yan Fu Make the “Invisible Hand” Visible? Translation, Omission, and the Conceptual Reception of Smithian Economics in Late Qing China

This article revisits the longstanding question of why the “invisible hand”—now often considered emblematic of Adam Smith’s thought—was omitted in the Chinese enlightenment thinker and translator Yan Fu’s 1901 translation of The Wealth of Nations. Rather than interpreting the omi...

Veterinary Student Experience and Learning Using a 4D Electrocardiogram Simulator

Abstract Cardiac electrophysiology and electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation present challenges for veterinary and medical education. Various resources and simulators exist to address this challenge. This study investigates the impact on learning and student experience of Epicar...

Thermally metamorphosed CM chondritic clasts reveal deep interior conditions: Insights from thermometry

We studied four coarse-grained crystalline clasts within CM carbonaceous chondrites to constrain their thermal history and origin. These clasts have near-identical mineralogies, dominated by olivine (Fa 37 or Fa 40 ), with lesser quantities of high-Ca pyroxene (diopside: Fs 10-11...

Weight Loss and Long-Term Weight Trajectories After a Structured Nutritional and Behavioral Intervention: A Large Real-World Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Achieving and maintaining intentional weight loss is a major challenge in routine clinical practice, and real-world evidence is limited. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated initial weight loss in 56,093 adults from a total of 126,659 who comm...

Unlocking the potential of aquatic animal telemetry research to advance management and conservation: Barriers and a blueprint for Great Britain and Ireland

Aquatic animal telemetry research can provide important knowledge for how populations, anthropogenic pressures and, indeed, entire ecosystems are managed. However, the true scale, extent and impact in Britain and Ireland is poorly understood. We surveyed 53 researchers about past...

Unravelling Staff's Experiences: An Exploration of Staff Attitudes Towards Parental Involvement in Residential Care

BACKGROUND: In residential care for people with intellectual disabilities, support staff take over daily care responsibilities for residents with severe intellectual disabilities. However, parents often remain involved in their support. Yet little is known about the attitudes of...

A comparative study of diet choice and feeding management among UK pet and child caregivers

Introduction Caregivers play a central role in shaping the dietary habits and nutritional health of dependents. However, the diversity of available diets and feeding advice can complicate everyday food decisions. This qualitative study explored how caregivers make feeding decisio...

Managing growth and puberty concerns in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Updated guidance and future directions

Long-term glucocorticoid therapy is standard of care for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) but often results in impaired growth and delayed or incomplete puberty, impacting their physical and psychosocial health. Although DMD endocrine care has evolved, leading t...

Bridging Autonomous Driving and Electric-Mobility Systems: From Technical Interfaces to Cross-System Validation

Road-transport electrification and driving automation increasingly connect vehicle actions with charging services and urban electricity demand. This review combines two Web of Science Core Collection result sets with abstract-level term analysis and a structured synthesis of tech...

Sepsis in the major burn patient

Abstract Background Sepsis in the context of major burn injury presents a significant challenge to clinicians. It affects a substantial proportion of patients with major burn injury and is the leading cause of death in those that survive to hospital. Due to the complex and profou...

Online vs. In Person Gambling: Does Exposure to Brick-and-Mortar Gambling Shops Lead to Increased Online Gambling?

Abstract The rise of online gambling in Great Britain in the past two decades has caused increased public health concerns. This study adds to existing evidence on physical gambling environment as a driver of gambling participation, using a 2022 national survey. With respect to ga...

From phase-space entropy to coherent-state error: mode-uniform Rényi–Wehrl stability

Abstract When can a quantum optical source be replaced by a coherent state with controlled error in every subsequent experiment? We turn its Husimi phase-space entropy excess into an error bound for the entire quantum state. For every fixed Rényi order $p>0$ and every density ope...
