Probiotic Supplementation to Prevent Diaper Dermatitis in Antibiotic-Treated Neonates: Secondary Analysis of a Randomised Controlled Trial

Background/Objectives: Diaper dermatitis (DD) is a common dermatological condition that is often exacerbated by antibiotics. Probiotics may restore microbiota balance and influence the incidence of DD. This study aimed to evaluate whether 6 weeks of Limosilactobacillus (L.) reute...

Acute effects of moderate-intensity continuous and high-intensity interval exercise on vascular function

Abstract Purpose To assess and compare the acute effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on central and peripheral arterial stiffness, as well as endothelial and microvascular reactivity in healthy, physically active ad...

Ligand-based pharmacophore modeling for the discovery of NaV1.7 inhibitors

Abstract Voltage-gated sodium channel Na V 1.7 is a key mediator of electrical excitability and signal transmission in peripheral nociceptors and has emerged as a highly attractive therapeutic target for the development of novel analgesic agents. However, the development of selec...

Rethinking Inclusion in Drama Pedagogy: Developing Indicators Within a 4R Holistic Framework

Contemporary research increasingly distinguishes between narrower and broader understandings of inclusion. Another perspective adopted in the recent literature is the 4R justice framework, which examines inclusion through four interrelated dimensions of justice—redistribution, re...

Double Trouble: How Unresolved Spectroscopic Binary Stars Skew GALAH DR4 Stellar Parameters

Abstract Unresolved binary stars introduce systematic biases in stellar parameter estimates when analysed assuming a single star. Using ~917,000 spectra from the Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) Data Release 4 (DR4), we develop a binary spectral model that fits each obser...

Essential Oils in Plant Protection in Europe: A Review of Efficacy and Limitations of Use

Essential oils are increasingly investigated for their potential use in plant protection because of their insecticidal, fumigant, repellent, behavioural, and antifungal activities. This narrative review with a structured literature search synthesizes evidence relevant to European...

A Scalable Open Source Workflow for Riverbed Substrate Classification Using UAV Imagery

Accurate characterization of riverbed substrate from remote sensing imagery is essential for applications in fluvial geomorphology, habitat modeling, and river management. While recent advances in computer vision, particularly deep learning, have improved sediment mapping capabil...

Beyond Amyloid: Systemic and Brain Frailty as Determinants of Response to Anti-Amyloid Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease—A Conceptual Review

Anti-amyloid therapy (AAT) with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) modestly slow cognitive and functional decline in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, both the magnitude of clinical benefit and the risk of treatment-related complications vary substantially even among patients wi...

Ascorbic Acid and Its Hydrophilic Derivatives in Commercial Cosmetics: A Cross-Sectional Study of Their Quality Control and Stability

Ascorbic acid and its hydrophilic derivatives, ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, are wide used active ingredients in cosmetics, with concentrations increasingly declared on product labels. Since such products are not subject to routine quality c...

Stochastic Modeling of Motorway Work Zone Capacity from Field Data in Slovenia

Abstract As Slovenia’s motorway infrastructure matures and approaches the end of its design life, maintenance-related work zones are becoming increasingly frequent, making the estimation of their capacity a crucial issue for effective traffic management. In addition to maintenanc...
