Human‐Centered Monitoring of Asphalt Emissions: Linking Exposure, Climate, and Health

ABSTRACT Urban infrastructure shapes environmental quality not only through its form and function but also through the materials from which it is built. Asphalt is a prominent example: heat, solar radiation, and aging can amplify emissions from this climate‐responsive, chemically...

Moral Courage vs. Moral Deference: Ethical Leadership and Employee Outcomes During AI-Assisted Internal Crises

This study examines how leadership stance and AI disclosure shape employee responses to CEO communication during an internal, value-based crisis. It further examines the mediating roles of perceived message sincerity and negative moral emotions and the moderating role of employee...

Digital Payment Adoption and Financial Vulnerability: Global Evidence From Multilevel Models

ABSTRACT Although digital financial services are emerging, whether adopting digital payment influences consumer vulnerability remains understudied and debated. This study aims to examine mechanisms linking digital payment adoption, financial fragility, financial worry, and nation...

Clinical Outcome Differences in Asia Versus Non-Asia Intracerebral Hemorrhage: IPD Analysis From BP-Lowering Clinical Trials

BACKGROUND: Evidence of regional differences in clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still scarce. We quantified differential outcomes and response to early intensive blood pressure lowering treatment by region in the Blood pressure in Acute Stroke Collaborat...

Method for modeling oviduct function and impact on embryonic development

Direct experimental analysis of the mammalian oviduct is constrained by limited tissue access and the short lifespan of ex vivo preparations. Extracellular matrix-embedded three-dimensional epithelial organoids provide longer-term in vitro models. However, their inward-facing api...

Pediatric 7 Tesla MRI: Current Applications and Future Opportunities

Utilization of ultra-high-field (UHF) MRI in humans has rapidly increased over the past decade, following regulatory approval of the first clinical 7 Tesla (7T) platforms in 2017 for brain and knee imaging. Currently, there are approximately 140 MRI scanners worldwide operating a...

Pharmacokinetic-Modifying Linker Design Modulates Performance of Multivalent PSMA/GRPR-Cell-Targeting 177Lu Radiopharmaceuticals

Background/Objectives: A series of PSMA/GRPR-targeting compounds were selected based on modifications to their respective pharmacokinetic-modifying linking groups and the structure of the PSMA-binding moiety, to examine how these alterations impact binding affinity and specificit...

RAP2.3 Is Required for MYB51 and SIGMA3 Expression During the Response of Arabidopsis thaliana to Multifactorial Stress Combination

ABSTRACT In nature, plants are subjected to multiple environmental stress factors simultaneously or sequentially. Recent studies revealed that when three or more stress factors impact a plant simultaneously (termed ‘multifactorial stress combination’; MFSC), plant survival declin...

Round versus tape sutures with interference fit anchors perform similarly in cadaveric glenoid and greater tuberosity biomechanical testing

Abstract Purpose To determine whether suture shape (flat-tape vs. round-wire) influences biomechanical performance at the suture-anchor–bone interface in interference-fit anchors used for rotator cuff and glenoid labrum repair. Methods Four matched pairs of human cadaveric should...

Quantifying hybrid electrochemical–biological CO₂ conversion systems

Hybrid electro-biomanufacturing provides an attractive route for converting CO₂ into fuels and chemicals beyond the constraints of natural photosynthesis. However, achieving systems-level high productivity and efficiency while maintaining robust electro-biological (electrobio) op...

A python‐based modeling package for underwater acoustic backscatter from individual gas bubbles

Abstract Acoustic backscatter from gas bubbles is key to detecting and quantifying marine seeps and related processes, yet practical tools for target strength (TS) prediction remain limited. We present seaEchoTSCalculator , an open‐source Python package that unifies established t...

Embedding Undergraduate Nursing Students as Patient Navigators in Federally Qualified Health Centers

Background: Enhancing nursing care coordination systems supports improvement of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates. This project implemented a nursing student-led patient navigation model to address open colonoscopy referrals while providing experiential, systems-based learn...

Congenital Measles: A Review

Since measles was declared "eliminated" in the United States following widespread vaccination, congenital measles has been exceedingly rare. As a result, many neonatal clinicians are unlikely to have encountered a case during or after training. However, with the rise of vaccine h...

PS4-8. Efficient DNA-free Genome Editing in Chicken Cells by Delivering mRNA and Protein Form of cas9.

Abstract Genome editing in avian systems has largely relied on plasmid-based CRISPR systems and antibiotic selection to achieve successful editing. However, plasmid delivery can result in prolonged nuclease expression and potential unintended DNA integration. In addition, selecti...

The Climatological Character of Simultaneously Occurring Blocking Events

In this work, the climatological character of simultaneously occurring blocking events will be examined. Some previously published papers have proposed without strong evidence that simultaneously occurring blocking events are stronger and more persistent than those that occur in...

“Most Times I Stay Awake Having a Lot of Things on My Mind”: Migration, Masculinity, and Self-Care Among African Men in the United States

This study examines how African men living in the United States understand and practice self-care, and how migration recasts their orientations to health and wellness. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 16 African immigrant men aged 23–41, the study employs thematic analysis to...

Ancient Truncated FtsZ Paralogs Likely Tune Cell Division in Hyphomicrobiales

Abstract Bacterial cell division is a well conserved, tightly regulated process that allows the separation of two viable daughter cells. In most bacteria, the proteins that drive division, termed the divisome, are recruited to mid-cell by FtsZ after it polymerizes to form the Z-r...
