Pogostone as a bioactive natural compound with potential relevance for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food preservation: a review

Pogostone, a characteristic secondary metabolite of Pogostemon cablin , has recently gained attention due to its diverse biological activities and potential relevance as a bioactive compound for functional food development. This review summarizes current knowledge on the origin,...

Reversible Hydrogen Storage with Diol/Lactone Pairs: Strain-Induced Improvement of Reaction Thermodynamics

Abstract Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are an attractive option for long-term hydrogen storage. Among different concepts currently discussed, systems based on α,ω-alkanediols and their corresponding lactones stand out because hydrogen release is significantly less endo...

Model-free interpretation of X-ray Thomson scattering measurements

Abstract X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) has emerged as a widely used diagnostics for extreme states of matter in a great variety of situations, and over a broad range of parameters. The standard approach for the interpretation of XRTS measurements is given by the forward modelin...

Twelve-Month Outcomes After Hearing Rehabilitation With an Active Middle Ear Implant and Latest Generation Vibroplasty Couplers in Adults And Children: A Prospective Multicenter Study

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the audiological efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and safety of an active middle ear implant (AMEI) in children and adults with distinct coupling options. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, noninterventional observational study with r...

Estimation and Bias Adjustment of Regional Mortality Rates with Incomplete Information—The Case of German Federal States

Reliable regional mortality rates are crucial for public health monitoring and planning. However, their estimation is often complicated by data limitations, with data being published only in broad age groups or affected by systematic errors. This is particularly relevant in inter...

Dystonia 3×3: A Training Guideline for Beginners in Botulinum Neurotoxin Treatment of Cervical Dystonia

Cervical dystonia (CD) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions leading to abnormal postures of the head and neck. The injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) into the muscles involved is the treatment of choice for CD. BoNT-A...

Integral sliding mode approaches combined with underlying model-free vs. model-based controllers for a pneumatically actuated assistance system

This paper presents nonlinear control approaches for a prototypical assistance system driven by pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) for load handling. A cascaded control structure consisting of two loops is employed to control the internal muscle pressures and the position of the...

Effects of variable incubation temperature during embryonic days 10–13 on leg muscle transcriptomics in day-old broiler and layer chicks

Abstract In chickens, secondary myogenesis occurs during embryonic days (ED) 10–13, which is a critical developmental window sensitive to incubation temperature as a key environmental factor. This study investigates transcriptional profiles in leg muscle of broiler (Ross 308; Ros...

Introduction and validation of OSCAR—optimal stent choice algorithm

Abstract Purpose Standardization and international guidelines for stent size selection are lacking. In this study, we introduce and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)- and image processing-supported, modular software algorithm trained on a multicentric vascular segmentation...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on bone, muscle, cartilage, tendon and ligaments in animal studies: a systematic review

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been investigated for its potential to enhance tissue healing because of its capacity to increase oxygen tension in ischemic and hypoxic tissues. Numerous preclinical studies have explored its role in the repair and regeneration of different m...

Effect of the pulse repetition rate on the scalability of the ultrashort pulse laser process for generating laser-induced self-organized nano- and microstructures on stainless steel

Self-organized surface structures have gained significant interest in both science and industry. However, the scalability of the ultrashort pulse laser process for generating self-organized nano- and microstructures with varying laser pulse repetition rates has not been systemati...

This short paper was presented at the TEI2026 conference in Vancouver on August 13, 2026. An HTML version of the slides published here as PDF is available at: https://hennyu.github.io/tei_26/#/ In the talk, the experiences of using GenAI to create a prototype of a Digital Scholar...

Crossing experiments suggest a simple genetic basis of complex male self-sacrifice phenotypes in widow spiders

Abstract Sexual cannibalism is among the most extreme outcomes of sexual conflict, and the Australian widow spider Latrodectus hasselti is well known for this behaviour. Curiously, males of L. hasselti actively facilitate cannibalism through self-sacrificial mating traits. During...

Magnetic resonance imaging‐based axial‐plane analysis of lower extremity torsion with dedicated 3D planning software is reliable and efficient

PURPOSE: The reliability and efficiency of a dedicated 3D planning software were evaluated for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based measurement of femoral torsion, tibial torsion, knee version and whole-lower extremity torsion compared with manual assessment. METHODS: In this r...

Brick kilns across India: A temporal analysis of brick kiln distribution and technology types

Thousands of brick kilns operate across India, significantly contributing to air pollution and CO 2 emissions due to outdated practices and non-compliance with environmental standards. Regulations promoting cleaner kiln technologies have been introduced, yet detailed information...

Effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on human musculoskeletal pathologies in clinical studies: a systematic review

Abstract Background Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has gained increasing interest in regenerative medicine for its capacity to enhance tissue oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. While its use in musculoskeletal medicine is expanding, particularly among ath...

An exploratory survey of barriers and enablers of AI adoption in rural and urban dental practices in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany

Abstract Administrative tasks substantially limit the time available for direct patient care in dentistry. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) can reduce administrative workload and improve practice efficiency, however its integration into routine dental practice remains limi...

Associations Between Dissociation and Childhood Trauma in Borderline Personality Disorder and Affective Disorders: A Network Analytic Approach

ABSTRACT Background Dissociation and childhood trauma are strongly associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD), yet it remains unclear whether this reflects disorder‐specific mechanisms or differences in symptom severity within a shared transdiagnostic structure. Object...

DECIDER-2: Prospective randomized multicenter phase III trial of decitabine and venetoclax administered in combination with all-trans retinoic acid or placebo in patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for induction chemotherapy

Abstract Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is predominantly a disease of older patients with a poor long-term survival. Approval of the combination of venetoclax (VEN) with azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC) in the European Union in 2021 for the treatment of patients wit...
