Genome-wide association study of diverse soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] accessions for agronomic and seed composition traits in Rwanda

Abstract Key message This research explored the genetic basis of adaptation for soybean to the low-latitude but high-elevation production regions in Rwanda. Abstract Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is an increasingly important crop in Rwanda; however, production remains const...

Electronic Dimensionality Control of Exciton Localization in Lead‐Free Copper Halide Perovskite Derivatives for Full‐Color, High‐Fidelity, and Circadian‐Tunable White‐Light Emission

ABSTRACT Rare‐earth‐free white light–emitting diodes (WLEDs) require emissive materials that simultaneously deliver high photoluminescence efficiency, spectral complementarity, and environmental stability. Here, an electronic‐dimensionality‐guided design strategy is reported for...

Preexisting depression and early outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease: a propensity score–matched cohort study

BACKGROUND: Depression is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and associated with adverse outcomes, but most studies examine depression arising after IBD diagnosis. Whether depression predating IBD diagnosis is independently associated with early postdiagnosis outcomes rem...

From Trace Element Biogeochemistry to Critical Minerals Resourcing: Lessons Learned and Opportunities for Innovation

Abstract Critical minerals and materials, which are raw materials essential to modern technologies yet vulnerable to supply disruption, have emerged as a major focal point of research to diversify resources, advance processing technologies, and bolster supply chains. Many of thes...

Breaking the cycle: how loneliness substitution and game design alter gambling immersion in older adults

Loneliness and gambling among older adults are interlinked public health concerns. Gambling immersion may increase exposure to financial, emotional, and relational harm, yet few studies distinguish how social, emotional, and existential loneliness shape this process. Drawing on c...

A Comparison of Machine Learning Models for ICH Prognostication: An Analysis of ATACH-2 and Qatar Stroke Database

INTRODUCTION: Multiple prognostic scores have been developed to predict morbidity and mortality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). These scoring models were traditionally based on statistical methods involving a limited set of variables. The advent of m...

Perceptions of nativeness shift quite rapidly over time

Abstract The spread of non‐native species has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges for conservation and ecosystem management. Yet attitudes towards species change, making it possible for non‐native species to be perceived as native after some time. However, no previous...

Quantitative [13N]ammonia/[18F]FDG PET/CT predicts left ventricular functional recovery after CABG in ischemic cardiomyopathy: An exploratory study

Background In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), accurate preoperative identification of viable myocardium is clinically important to identify those who are likely to benefit from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Although the PET perfusion–metabolism mismatch ind...

Benchmarking Auto‐Regressive Spatio‐Temporal Predictions of Wildfire Spread From the FireBench Simulation Data Set With a Machine Learning Competition

Abstract As wildfire severity increases, predicting wildfire spread is important for fire and landscape management. However, wildfire spread is a complex phenomenon that is challenging to capture because it depends on many factors, such as wind speed, slope, landscape topography,...

The Overseer State: Slavery, Indenture and Governance in the British Empire, 1812-1916

Sascha Auerbach’s new book examines the apparatus upon which the imperial economy of the British Empire depended. This was the management of a resource upon which the global production of imperial ...

MOF–biochar composites for wastewater treatment: A review on synthesis, properties, and adsorption mechanisms

Industrial wastewater containing heavy metals, dyes, and emerging contaminants remains difficult to treat using conventional adsorbents due to limited selectivity and insufficient active sites. Recently, metal-organic framework-biochar (MOF–BC) composites have emerged as promisin...

Soft bioelectronics for wireless drug delivery: programmable, minimally invasive and closed-loop therapeutics

Abstract Soft bioelectronics is reshaping drug delivery from passive dosing to programmable, tissue-interfaced therapeutics. This Review examines the co-design of soft materials, wireless power, drug reservoirs, release mechanisms and feedback control for wearable and minimally i...

Transport Intramedullary Nail for Nonunion

Summary: Nonunions with bone defects create technical challenges for fracture healing. All-internal bone transport with an intramedullary nail offers benefits over the other bone segment transport options including being simpler for the patients, avoiding the associated soft tiss...

Development-inspired approach for the derivation of functional and transplantable salivary gland organoids from human pluripotent stem cells

Salivary gland (SG) hypofunction significantly affects the life quality of patients with hyposalivation. Current treatment options for these conditions are limited and often result in undesirable side effects. To address this issue, we’ve developed a developmentally inspired stra...

Gestational heat stress and phytogenic supplementation influence sow growth, bioenergetics, thermoregulation, and subsequent offspring resilience

Abstract The study objectives were to determine whether a phytogenic supplement reduced physiological stress in heat-stressed (HS) gestating sows and to evaluate how HS alters maternal growth responses and postweaning growth and stress responses in their piglets. Twenty-six pregn...

Perceptions of CRISPR and the role of risk information seeking and processing: An analysis of North Carolina consumers

Genetic engineering technologies, like CRISPR, have ignited public acceptance issues due to perceived risks and previous rejection of genetically modified organisms. Thus, there is a need for evidence-based strategies to inform effective science communication and outreach. The cu...

Multimodality Imaging of the Treated Breast

Breast cancer recurrence remains a clinical challenge despite advances in early detection and treatment. In particular, using imaging to distinguish normal posttreatment changes from early signs of recurrence can be difficult. This Pictorial Essay reviews the expected evolution o...

Hyporheic eDNA Removal Outweighs Water Column Degradation in a Natural River

Abstract Advances in the measurement of environmental DNA (eDNA) have transformed biodiversity monitoring in aquatic ecosystems. However, linking eDNA concentrations in streams and rivers to species abundance remains challenging as flowing water, streambed retention, and degradat...

Safety and Adverse Event Profile of Procedural Sedation for Pediatric Burn Wound Care: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract Procedural sedation is essential for pediatric burn care, yet standardized, evidence-based regimens are lacking. This study characterizes the safety profile and pharmacological predictors of adverse events (AEs) in intensivist-led pediatric burn sedations. We conducted a...
