Global Prevalence of Adherence to Antihypertensives and Associated Moderating Factors Among Adults With Hypertension: A Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a significant public health issue affecting over a billion adults worldwide with adherence to antihypertensives being crucial for achieving sustained blood pressure control and reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To extend previous evidenc...

Star Wars at Fifty

This symposium celebrates the 50th anniversary of Star Wars (1977) with nineteen short essays from scholars who discuss its meaning, impact, and legacy. The essays examine the migrations and manifestations of the Star Wars universe across media, including animation, video games,...

Uncovering the role of biogeography, resources, food web composition and time during microbial primary succession

Ecological succession is shaped by multiple processes that operate simultaneously across spatial and temporal scales. While classical succession theory generally focuses on a single trophic level within a single location, often in plants or other macroscopic organisms, recent eff...

Rigorous Absolute Binding Free Energy Calculations Elucidate Mutation–Driven Resistance Mechanisms of Non–Covalent Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitors

Abstract Drug resistance driven by acquired mutations in Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) threatens the long–term clinical efficacy of non–covalent BTK inhibitors (NCIs). While clinically observed variants such as A428D, C481S, and the double mutant C481S/T474I display distinct res...

What shapes LGBTQ university students' information seeking and sharing in queer online communities? A mixed methods study of influencing factors

Purpose This study identifies and examines the perceived importance of influencing factors shaping Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) university students’ information seeking and sharing in queer online communities on social media. Design/methodology/approach...

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Health-Related Outcomes: An Intersectional Analysis of Race/Ethnicity, Economic Status, and Sex

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are distributed unequally across population subgroups in the U.S. with economically disadvantaged and historically marginalized populations bearing a disproportionate burden. It is unclear, however, whether the health-related consequences of A...

Generalized Nonlinear Bayesian Pulsar Timing with ENTERPRISE

Abstract We use the Bayesian methods in the ENTERPRISE package to examine the fully general parameterization of pulsar timing models in tandem with noise. We investigate four pulsars, PSRs J1600–3053, J2043+1711, J0740+6620, and J1640+2224, through the lens of Bayesian timing. We...

Brain structure correlates of circulating endocannabinoids and related lipids in early adolescents

Abstract The endocannabinoid (eCB) system underlies many biological processes and is thought to be critical in adolescent brain development. However, the eCB system’s contributions to brain morphometry during adolescence remains understudied. Here we investigated cross-sectional...

A Cycle of Gendered Vulnerability: Understanding Violence, Poverty, and Systemic Failure Among Refugee Women in Malawi

Gender-based violence (GBV) is an urgent global health and social problem. GBV has implications for women's health outcomes and causes disruption to an individual's ecosystem, including their educational attainment, economic stability, and safety. Refugee women are an underserved...

A strategic framework for pathology faculty onboarding

Effective oversight of talent acquisition, integration, management, and retention in an academic pathology department is critical to sustaining its tripartite mission of clinical service, research, and education. Despite substantial focus on these areas, the crucial initial trans...

Recognition of noise-vocoded accented speech by non-native listeners

Abstract This study examined 1) how spectral degradation and talker accent strength interact to influence non-native speech perception; and 2) how sentence context contributes to non-native listeners’ perception of spectrally degraded foreign-accented speech. Twenty-eight Mandari...

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease

RATIONALE: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death globally. CHD mortality rates remain steady in low- and middle-income countries but are declining in high-income countries, meaning more people are living with CHD and need support to manage their symptoms and...

“I Will Never Be Enough Because My Skin Color Isn’t Right”: Structural Racism and Healthcare Access Following Nonfatal Strangulation Among Black Women Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence

Background: Nonfatal strangulation (NFS) is one of the most lethal forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) that is associated with increased risk of future homicide, yet it frequently goes unrecognized within healthcare settings. Black women experience disproportionately high ra...

Data Issues in AI Applications for Public Health — An Application of the C-E-A Framework: Compliance, Efficacy, and Autonomy

Data concepts relevant to AI applications in public health — such as availability, relevance, and representativeness — are usually explained in their general, basic sense for a broad readership of engineers and public health professionals alike, without being organized by what ki...

Long-Term Average Impulse Control with Mean Field Interactions

Abstract This paper analyzes and explicitly solves a class of long-term average impulse control problems with a specific mean-field interaction. The underlying process is a general one-dimensional diffusion with appropriate boundary behavior. The model is motivated by application...

The impact of footwear on human talar trabecular architecture

The evolution of habitual bipedalism was a defining milestone in human history, yet fossil evidence indicates substantial variation in how bipedality was practiced. Trabecular bone, which responds throughout life to joint loading and orientation, offers a powerful way to investig...

The GMRT High-resolution Southern Sky Survey for Pulsars and Transients. VIII. Orbital Variability and the Evolution of a 1 day He-WD Millisecond Pulsar J2101–4802

Abstract We present timing and orbital phase-resolved polarimetry of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) J2101−4802, having a spin period of 9.48 ms and dispersion measure (DM) 25.05 pc cm −3 discovered with the Giant Meter Radio Telescope (GMRT). From the phase-connected timing of this...

From creation to dissemination: a lifecycle-based evaluation of AI guidance policies in health-related journals

Abstract Background The rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence into health sciences research has prompted major advisory bodies to establish ethical guidelines governing AI use in scholarly publishing. However, practical implementation at the journal level remain...

Wilms tumor: diagnosis and updates

Although Wilms tumor is the most common malignant renal tumor of childhood, it is an overall rare malignancy with a variety of histological appearances. As clinical trials have sought to further identify groups of patients who can benefit from escalation or de-escalation of thera...
