Quantitative computed tomography improves prediction of survival across ILD subtypes

Background Quantitative computed tomography (CT) methods are recognized as valuable tools for risk stratification in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Data-driven textural analysis (DTA) is one such approach that correlates with worse lung function and shorter survival in...

Genomic catalogue of giant viruses reveals expanded diversity and functional potential

Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA and Mirusviricota viruses exhibit taxonomic richness which continually expands due to metagenomic sequencing. Here we curate a database of giant virus metagenome-assembled genomes (GVMAGs V2), comprising 8,508 species-level representatives from 18,727...

Platelet Reactivity and Sex Differences: Clinical Implications for Women

Platelets are central to hemostasis and thrombosis. Excessive platelet activation contributes to arterial thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and complications of peripheral artery disease, whereas excessive platelet inhibition increases bleeding...

Searching the Literature by Meaning: Benchmarking Free and Commercial Word Embedding Models on Social Work Text

<p><b><i><span>Purpose</span></i></b><span>: Locating relevant studies is the first step of evidence-based practice, yet most searching relies on keyword matching. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools called embedding models search by...

Bank Systems

We are introducing the Axiomatization Framework of Bank Systems. Some theorems are completed about Housing, and other Assets Management.

Variation in Thyroidectomy Use in Low-Risk Thyroid Cancer: Analysis of a Statewide Claims Registry

Introduction Studies have shown variation in thyroidectomy use across geographic settings but have not examined statewide, procedure-specific (total thyroidectomy [TT] versus thyroid lobectomy [TL]) rates for thyroid cancer at the surgeon or facility level. This study aimed to ch...

Traumatic Catheter Removal‐ At‐Risk Populations, Outcomes and Prevention: A Retrospective Medical Record Review

AIMS: Traumatic catheter removal (TCR) occurs when a urinary catheter is removed with the balloon inflated, causing urethral injury. We aim to identify cases of TCR, determine at-risk populations and describe outcomes and interventions. DESIGN: Retrospective medical record review...

Size-DependentChemical Speciation in CementitiousQuarry Waste

Abstract Quarry waste, especially adjacent to cementitious rock formations, presents an underutilized mineral resource given that geo-processes generate gradients in composition across vast scales. We inferred, and demonstrate, that mechanical breakdown depends on chemical compos...

Rural-Urban Disparities in Contemporary Systemic Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer

This cross-sectional study examines the associations of rural-urban residence and race with receipt of systemic therapy for advanced prostate cancer.

suPAR Identifies Treatment-Resistant Inflammatory Risk Beyond hs-CRP in Type 2 Diabetes With Coronary Artery Disease: An Ancillary Analysis of BARI 2D

OBJECTIVE To determine whether soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is modified by randomized diabetes and revascularization strategies in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease and whether combined suPAR and hs-CRP classification refines re...

Oral nano-delivery of a gut microbial metabolite enhances T cell stemness for cancer immunotherapy

Gut microbial metabolites play crucial roles in regulating systemic immunity, but their mechanisms and limited drug-like properties remain unresolved. Here we report an oral nano-formulation that leverages gut microbial metabolites to modulate T cell metabolism and amplify antitu...

Going Green online: how higher education institutions use Instagram to communicate sustainability

As institutions of higher education increasingly seek to differentiate themselves through sustainability initiatives, social media platforms such as Instagram offer a powerful channel to reinforce these commitments. This study explores the differences in sustainability-related me...

Modular Electrochemical Sensing via In Situ Reduced Carbon Quantum Dot–Nanotube Molecular Hybrids

Abstract Electrochemical sensing is a promising route to non-invasive, point-of-care health monitoring, yet practical multiplexing remains limited by electrode materials that cannot simultaneously deliver high conductivity, high densities of electrochemically active sites, and mo...

Exploring Social Determinants of Cognitive Functioning: History of Criminal Legal System Involvement and Processing Speed Among Older Black Americans

Cognitive impairment disproportionately impacts Black Americans in later life. Black Americans are also disproportionately in contact with the criminal legal system (CLS; e.g., arrest, incarceration). Emerging research indicates that CLS involvement has negative implications for...

Building a Stack for Systems Deployment

We are introducing few lines of methodology to start building Models & Systems for Deployment. We start first with Asana Platform and the Automated Fact-Checker [here]. More Collaboration Invitation will be sent to participate in the project.

Cognitive-behavioral suicide prevention for psychosis in community mental health: A pilot randomized clinical trial

Adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) have substantially elevated suicide risk, yet few suicide prevention interventions have been developed or tested for this population. The effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Suicide Prevention for psychosis (CBSPp) in US commu...

Exploring the protective role of school peers in substance use prevention among American Indian adolescents

Social network scholars have long recognized the role that social connections play in the substance use behavior of adolescents as they rely less on their parents/caregivers and more on their school peers. In this article, we explore the role of social networks as they relate to...

Closing the Health Policy Implementation Gap With Artificial Intelligence

Importance: Health care policies often fail to achieve their goals due to implementation challenges attributable to workforce constraints, fragmented health information systems, and administrative complexity. This Special Communication proposes a framework for how artificial inte...

Cataloguing & Referencing Art

In this document, we are creating a collection of objects, such as Internet Hyperlinks, Images, Quotes, etc. This activity is coherent with Mathematics Axiomatic Rules: At the beginning, there was an empty set, and the collection of objects create non-empty sets.
