Mapping the omics landscape for peri‐implant diseases: A scoping review

Abstract Objectives To map omics evidence across peri‐implant health, peri‐implant mucositis, and peri‐implantitis, and to identify recurring molecular patterns and candidate biomarker signals relevant to diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Materials and Methods This scoping re...

Lpb. plantarum inhalation powders for the reduction of lung inflammation and S. aureus growth control in non-CF bronchiectasis

INTRODUCTION The reduced diversity of the lung microbiome in respiratory conditions, including bronchiectasis, promotes bacterial infection and inflammation, contributing to worsening clinical outcomes. Traditional treatments often fail to address both infection and inflammation....

Fatal waterhouse–friderichsen syndrome at autopsy: a systematic review and forensic diagnostic framework

Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome (WFS) represents a fulminant septic condition characterized by bilateral adrenal hemorrhage and rapid clinical deterioration. Although classically associated with meningococcal infection, fatal cases occur across multiple infectious etiologies and...

A predictive framework for friction stir extrusion of AA6061 powder: coupling thermomechanical evolution, bonding and hardness

Abstract Friction Stir Extrusion (FSE) is emerging as a promising solid-state manufacturing process for the consolidation of fragmented aluminum feedstock such as machining chips and powder, offering substantial energy savings over conventional remelting. Despite its growing rele...

Blinking together: the modulation of eye blinking in dog–human social contexts

Abstract Eye blinking and its synchronization have been associated with shared attention, interpersonal connection and physiological rhythms in humans. However, their role in non-human species remains largely unexplored. In domestic dogs, eye blinking has been suggested to have a...

Voltage‐Driven Non‐Volatile Interconversion Between Giant Single‐Domain and Multidomain Magnetic States in a Multiferroic Heterostructure

ABSTRACT Voltage control of magnetic states in multiferroic heterostructures represents a promising route toward voltage‐programmable magnetic devices. However, it remains challenging to achieve deterministic and non‐volatile electrical control of well‐defined magnetic states wit...

Dream experiences and psychological distress: a network analysis of pathological worry, depression, anxiety, and stress

Abstract Dreaming has long been implicated in emotional processing, yet the complex relationships between specific dream experiences and different dimensions of psychological distress remain insufficiently understood. This study explored the network relationships between dream-re...

A proposed evaluation of new approach methodologies for dermal toxicity assessment of botanicals

Background Botanicals are widely used in topical formulations for cosmetics, hair care, and personal care products, reflecting consumer interest in plant-derived materials. Their complex and variable composition, presents challenges for traditional toxicological approaches develo...

The New Cardio-Oncology Frontier in Hematologic Cancers: Cardiovascular Toxicities of CAR-T Cells and Bispecific T-Cell Engagers

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and bispecific T-cell engagers have transformed treatment of relapsed and refractory hematologic malignancies, achieving unprecedented response rates. However, their clinical adoption has revealed a complex spectrum of cardiovascular toxic...

Adult attachment, death anxiety, representation of death, and depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and somatic symptoms in early emerging adulthood: a moderated mediation model

Death anxiety has been increasingly recognized as a transdiagnostic factor associated with a wide range of internalizing symptoms, yet the psychological mechanisms linking existential concerns to psychopathology remain incompletely understood. Drawing on attachment theory and exi...

Bimodal multiphoton catalysis via structural regeneration

Abstract Most of the current photocatalytic methodologies for the generation of reactive radical intermediates have limited redox windows and can operate within a single redox manifold. Here, to overcome these constraints, we report a purely organic photocatalyst that operates vi...

Widespread thermophilization but weak link to climate warming in Europe’s summit plant communities

Abstract Recent changes in alpine vegetation are often attributed to climate warming, particularly community composition shifts towards more warmth-associated species, or thermophilization. Here we assess the link between thermophilization and warming across 53 European mountain...

Global trends in pleural infection mortality: a WHO-mortality database analysis

Background Current data suggest that the incidence of pleural infection is rising worldwide, however mortality data on global rates, trends and variations are lacking. Objectives To estimate pleural infection mortality rates across 24 Countries from 1994 to 2020 worldwide, using...

Measurement incompatibility in Bayesian multiparameter quantum estimation

We present a comprehensive and pedagogical formulation of Bayesian multiparameter quantum estimation. Within this framework, we analyse the role of measurement incompatibility and establish its quantitative effect on attainable precision. We achieve this by deriving upper bounds...

From Geometric Complexity to Informational Dimensionality in Scaffold-Guided Tissue Regeneration

Scaffold architecture shapes tissue regeneration through the mechanical, topographical, and biochemical cues it presents to cells, yet geometrically elaborate scaffolds do not reliably produce more organized tissues, while comparatively simple architectures can exert strong organ...

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) as target for anticancer therapy in brain and gastrointestinal cancers

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzyme system plays a central role in cellular metabolism, growth, and differentiation, and its mutations are associated with alterations of the cell cycle and production of oncometabolites, promoting tumor development. In this narrative review, we...

Systemic Corticosteroids in Pediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Evidence, Clinical Outcomes, and Phenotype-Based Therapeutic Considerations

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low-resource settings. Although antimicrobial therapy is the cornerstone of treatment, disease severity is often influenced not only by pathogen...

Double functionalization in chitosan scaffolds for bone tissue engineering improvement

Abstract Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide produced by the deacetylation of chitin. It has been employed for several biomedical applications since it is biocompatible and biodegradable. In this work, two synthetic peptides were covalently grafted to chitosan to enhance cellula...

Regenerating bodies, shaping minds: school colonies in Italy between the First World War and the postwar years

Abstract This article examines the development and transformation of school colonies within the Italian child welfare system between the First World War and the immediate postwar period. Originally conceived as prophylactic institutions aimed at strengthening the bodies of frail...
