Italian validation and exploratory measurement invariance of the food addiction symptom inventory (FASI)

Abstract Background The Food Addiction Symptom Inventory (FASI) is a clinician-administered semi-structured interview developed to assess addiction-like eating behaviors related to ultra-processed food consumption, but a validated Italian version is unavailable. This study aimed...

Photoinduced Plasmon‐Polariton Mediated Energy Storage

ABSTRACT Development of new means of remotely induced energy storage is important for varied applications, including minimization of energy loss and heat effects in computation devices, solar energy generation, and data transmission. Here, we demonstrate a new concept by which ph...

The Protection of Refusal: On Disavowal in the Indian Ocean

Lauren Benton reminds us that to write about piracy as historians (and anthropologists) is to engage in projects of “myth-making and myth-busting.” As she notes, pirates are either imagined as “colorful rogues…inherently anti-authoritarian actors who possessed a penchant for expe...

Exercise and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms: A Paradigm Shift Toward Informed, Personalized Activity Guidelines

Exercise is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits; however, its safety and role in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) remains complex due to its distinctive biomechanical vulnerabilities. Fundamentally different from abdominal aortic aneurysms, TAAs develo...

A short note on differential equations and on Geometry

A short note on differential equations. We add some lines of interest about Some topics in Geometry.

Cosmological Constraints from Full-scale Clustering and Galaxy–Galaxy Lensing with DESI DR1

Abstract We present constraints on cosmic structure growth from the analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy–galaxy lensing with galaxies from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1. Our analysis includes four samples drawn from the Bright Galaxy Survey (B...

Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects with survival outcomes via a deep survival learner

Abstract Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects in survival settings is complicated by right censoring as well as the time-varying nature of the estimand. While the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) provides a natural target, most existing approaches focus on a sing...

Pediatric Mental Health Screening Practices Across Health Systems: A Multistate Survey

Despite an ongoing youth mental health crisis, mental health screening practices by pediatric health systems are unknown. The aim of the current study is to describe mental health screening practices in pediatric health systems and identify potential targets for improvement. Pedi...

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

Abstract LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable production of high quality detector data and rapid noise mitigation efforts allow the extr...

Randomized clinical trial of self-acupressure for aromatase-inhibitor associated musculoskeletal symptoms

Abstract Half of aromatase inhibitor (AI)-treated patients with early stage breast cancer discontinue therapy early, primarily because of AI-associated musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS). Acupuncture reduces AIMSS, but uptake is limited. Prior studies demonstrated reduction in pain...

Advances in Interventional Oncology for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Locoregional therapies are used across the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment spectrum, including for curative treatment of small tumors, as bridging or downstaging therapy before liver transplant, for treatment of intermediate-stage disease, and as part of combination trea...

Developing a drug-level feedback adherence counseling intervention for young MSM in the U.S.

Background: Young men who have sex with men (MSM) in the U.S. have suboptimal adherence to oral tenofovir-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), undermining HIV prevention goals. Drug-level feedback using urine point-of-care tenofovir assays has improved adherence in Eastern and...

Lighting and circadian cues shape locomotor strategies for balance and navigation in larval zebrafish

Most fish are inherently unstable and must swim to stabilize posture. How diurnal fish reduce activity at night while maintaining postural control remains unclear. We defined distinct locomotor strategies that larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) use to control posture and navigate the...

Development of Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures for Early Systemic Sclerosis Across Disease Subtypes

OBJECTIVE: Existing patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures for systemic sclerosis (SSc) have important limitations, including inadequate coverage of early disease and limited inclusion of diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc) and limited cutaneous (lcSSc) subtypes. This paper reports on the...

Short Communication on Email Management Systems

We present the opportunity to Manage Emails with More in-depth Computing Systems. Many options and examples are of interest.

Data-Driven Reduced-Complexity Modeling of Fluid Flows: A Community Challenge

We introduce a community challenge designed to facilitate direct comparisons between data-driven methods for compression, forecasting, and sensing of complex aerospace flows. The challenge is organized into three tracks that target these complementary capabilities: compression (c...

Exploration of the genetic architecture of ANCA-associated vasculitis

Background Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complex autoimmune disease with distinct clinical and serological subtypes. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several susceptibility loci, particularly within the major h...

Association of Early Primary Care Follow-Up With Acute Care Use After ICU Discharge

OBJECTIVE: To determine if early primary care follow-up after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) hospitalization is associated with reduced acute care use. METHODS: Using claims data from publicly and privately insured children, we identified a cohort of PICU hospitalizations f...

Proper affine deformations of positive representations

Abstract We define, for every positive Anosov representation of a nonabelian free group into , a family of ‐valued cocycles which induce proper affine actions on . We construct fundamental domains in bounded by generalized crooked planes for these affine actions, and deduce that...

Accuracy of commercial pollen forecasts in the United States

Approximately 80 million Americans suffer from seasonal pollen allergies, and many rely on commercial pollen forecasts to guide exposure reduction and medication timing. However, these forecasts are proprietary, and their accuracy has never been comprehensively evaluated. Here, w...
