Carbon Conscious Surgery: Environmental, Economic, and Clinical Outcomes of a Local Anaesthetic Hernia Repair Pathway

Graphical abstract summarising the environmental and economic outcomes of a dedicated local anaesthetic hernia repair pathway, including total patient numbers, estimated carbon savings, and cost savings.

The new WHO infertility guideline: A universal right to equitable, evidence‐based fertility care

Abstract The WHO ‘Guideline for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infertility’ heralds a significant global shift towards recognizing infertility as a medical condition requiring prevention, diagnosis, treatment and policy support. This recognition is vital for the one i...

The Rare dISease Evaluation (RISE) study: a survey-based investigation of medical student experience and knowledge of rare disease in the UK

Abstract Background Rare diseases are a significant public health concern, with over 6,000 diseases identified with an estimated collective point prevalence of 5.6–6.9%. People living with rare disease face numerous challenges within healthcare including prolonged time to diagnos...

Assessing present and future vegetation dynamics on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau using CMIP6 Earth System Models

Vegetation dynamics on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (TP) regulate energy, water, and carbon fluxes and are closely linked to the stability of fragile alpine ecosystems. Evaluating the ability of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) Earth System Models (ESMs) to simu...

On the Computation of Equilibria in Discrete First-Price Auctions

Abstract. We study the computational complexity of computing Bayes–Nash equilibria in first-price auctions with discrete value distributions and discrete bidding space under general subjective beliefs. It is known that such auctions do not always have pure equilibria. In this pap...

Challenges and opportunities for the construction of the next IntCal and SHCal radiocarbon calibration curves

Radiocarbon (14C) provides the most frequently used approach to dating the last 55 000 years. However, owing to fluctuations in past levels of 14C, all radiocarbon dating requires calibration to convert the 14C measurement obtained from a sample into a calendar age. This is achie...

Tension in the solar energetic proton paradigm for historical cosmogenic nuclide events

'Miyake events' are exceptional increases in atmospheric 14C recorded in tree rings that, if confirmed, are accompanied by simultaneous 10Be and 36Cl enhancements in ice cores. During the last 15 000 years, six such events have been confirmed. They are generally thought to origin...

Machine learning and big data in finance*

Machine learning (ML) and the proliferation of large, granular, and unstructured data are reshaping how financial questions are posed and answered. Methods that relax the linearity, low dimensionality, and rigid distributional assumptions of classical econometrics are now applied...

Management of Acute Periodontal Conditions—The EFP S2k Level Clinical Practice Guideline

BACKGROUND: The European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) has developed Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for the treatment of periodontitis and for the management of peri-implant diseases. In accordance with the 2018 Classification, acute periodontal conditions are character...

Calculation of Field-line Slippage Rates in Coronal Simulations

Abstract We present the universal Slippage calculator ( USlip ), an extension of the universal Fieldline Tracer ( UFiT ), which computes magnetic field line slippage rates from an input magnetic field defined on a structured grid. The slippage rate provides a local, physically gr...

Prognostic Role of Adverse Events in a Worldwide Population of Patients with Biliary Tract Cancer Treated with Chemo-Immunotherapy

Background: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options. The addition of durvalumab or pembrolizumab to cisplatin–gemcitabine improves overall survival (OS), but validated biomarkers of benefit remain limited. Immune-mediated adverse ev...

Advances in Organoid Technology: Bridging the Gap Between Research and Therapy

Organoids Are Us is a symposium series that provides a snapshot in time of the latest and emerging developments in organoid technology [...]

The Impact of Energy‐Consuming Right Trading Policy on Green Technology Innovation in China

ABSTRACT China is committed to building the energy‐consuming right trading market. In this article, the impact of energy‐consuming right trading policy (ERTP) on green technology innovation (GTI) of Chinese manufacturing industry listed companies is evaluated. The results show th...

Suspected hyperthyroidism‐associated myoclonus in a cat

Abstract A 10‐year‐old, male, neutered domestic shorthair cat presented with a 2‐week history of progressively worsening myoclonic jerks predominantly involving the head. Jerks were continuous and marked at rest, but became less intense during activity. Bloodwork, including haema...

Directed branch-width: A directed analogue of tree-width

Gurski and Wanke showed that a graph class C has bounded tree-width if and only if its associated class of directed line graphs has bounded clique-width. Inevitably -- asking whether this relationship lifts to directed graphs -- we introduce a new digraph width measure: we obtain...

Trends in health inequalities across the world’s population: an analysis of mortality inequalities by country gross domestic product (GDP) between 1990 and 2022

Background Life expectancy has increased worldwide, in part due to reduced infant mortality. However, inequalities between countries persist. Gross domestic product (GDP) is a widely used means of assessing a country’s economic performance. We assessed global trends in inequaliti...

Exploring Transitions to Adulthood for Young Disabled People: Personalisation and the Quiet Dismantling of Social Care

ABSTRACT Across OECD countries, policy frameworks to support disabled young people in their transition to adulthood remain fragmented, under‐resourced and poorly aligned. This article examines how these longstanding weaknesses have been exacerbated by the shift towards personalis...

Regulatory, excise tax, and institutional governance of electronic nicotine delivery systems in low- and middle-income countries: A comparative policy analysis

BACKGROUND: Tobacco use remains a major global cause of preventable mortality, with a disproportionate burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) have entered these markets rapidly, but governance frameworks remain fragmented,...

Steric control of signaling bias in the immunometabolic receptor GPR84

Abstract Biased signaling in G protein-coupled receptors offers therapeutic promise, yet rational design of biased ligands remains challenging due to limited mechanistic understanding. Here, we report a molecular basis for controlling signaling bias at the immunometabolic recepto...

Pre-exposure prophylaxis as a complementary vaccination strategy to reduce rabies in Kerala, India: a cost-effectiveness modelling study

Background Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and dog vaccination continue to be the widely adopted vaccination strategy for rabies control in high-burden countries like India. To determine the public health and economic impacts of childhood pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) relative...
