Major adverse cardiac events and mortality associated with ADHD and its treatment in adults with type 2 diabetes: a multi-national cohort study

Abstract Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been linked to elevated risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the impact of ADHD and ADHD medication use on prognosis and health outcomes in T2D remains unclear. This study investigates the associations of...

Strategies for integrating artificial intelligence and cognitive assessment to predict disability progression in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: A model development study

Serial cognitive assessment in multiple sclerosis can help identify patients at higher risk of disability progression, but high dimensionality of reaction-time data makes analysis challenging. We developed a method to convert longitudinal reaction-time data into images and applie...

Fifteen years of regional climate downscaling in CORDEX-Australasia

Regional climate modelling plays a central role in understanding and projecting climate change across Australasia, a region characterised by complex topography, diverse climate regimes, and high exposure to climate extremes. Over the past fifteen years, CORDEX-Australasia has coo...

Modular Metalloprotein Nanowires With Semiconductor‐Scale Conductivity and Tunable Redox Behavior

The creation of structured protein assemblies with tailorable electronic conductivity and electrochemical behaviors would be transformative for diverse applications, including bioelectronic interfaces, redox‐active biosensors, and energy conversion systems. However, engineered pr...

Connected Social Media

Abstract We examine whether and how firms use connected social media outlets to counteract negative coverage in traditional media. Employing a sample of Chinese listed firms with ties to social media outlets, we find that connected outlets portray firms more favorably than unconn...

Governing Social Media as a Public Utility

A case for sovereign digital infrastructure.

Can Depression Polygenic Risk Score Predict Postinfective Fatigue Syndrome (PIFS) in the Dubbo Infection Outcomes Study (DIOS)?

Abstract Prospective cohorts show that a postinfective fatigue syndrome (PIFS) meeting criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) develops in roughly 1 in 10 people after diverse acute infections, independent of the triggering pathogen. Whether constitutional liability to affect...

Piezo1 footprint nanoarchitecture: from individual channels to collective behaviour and from outward to inward curvature

Piezo1 acts as a key architect of the cell membrane, generating a curved nanodome that extends beyond the protein trimer itself. Although Piezo1 intrinsically favours an outward (convex) membrane footprint, recent high-resolution studies have revealed that clustered channels can...

An Equity Analysis of the Prevalence, Costs and Coping Mechanisms of Informal Payments in the Utilisation of Healthcare Services in Nigeria

ABSTRACT Background Informal payments in healthcare facilities increase the cost of services, negatively impacting access and utilisation, particularly for poor and vulnerable populations. However, those affected may adopt various coping strategies to alleviate the financial burd...

Conservation genetics of the Brolga (Antigone rubicunda) across eastern Australia reveals genetic structure and potential loss of adaptive capacity

Abstract Globally, urban expansion and agriculture have driven widespread wetland degradation and loss. The Brolga ( Antigone rubicunda ), a wetland-dependent crane species distributed across northern and eastern Australia, is threatened in south-eastern states. In Victoria, cens...

Statistical Methods for Assessing Non-Replicable, Outlying, and Influential Studies

Quantitative evidence synthesis has become a central tool for integrating findings across multiple studies, multi-centre trials, and multi-source cohort data. However, the identification and interpretation of non-replicable, outlying, and influential studies remain insufficiently...

The role of fenestration in acute canine thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion: Part 2—The biological and biomechanical effects of fenestration

Abstract Background Prophylactic fenestration is widely performed to prevent recurrence of canine acute thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE); however, there is a paucity of specific data regarding the biological and biomechanical effect of this procedure on the inte...

Spatio-temporal modeling and forecasting with Fourier neural operators

Spatio-temporal process models are often used for modeling dynamical physical and biological phenomena that evolve across space and time. These phenomena may exhibit environmental heterogeneity and complex interactions that are difficult to capture using traditional statistical p...

Adaptation of a maternal and child mHealth programme: an example from Aotearoa New Zealand

INTRODUCTION: Evidence for mHealth in the delivery of public health messages is growing. Cultural adaptations of existing mHealth programmes may be an efficient way to extend their reach to new target populations, but best practices for such adaptations are unclear. AIM: This pap...

Supplier development and buyer’s relative relationship value – a dyadic examination in an emerging market

Purpose Fierce competition in many industries has prompted buying firms to participate in supplier development by sharing information (SDI) and by improving suppliers’ capabilities (SDC). Building upon transaction cost theory and social exchange theory, this study aims to examine...

Interrogating the Escherichia coli Epitranscriptome Via CRISPR Interference and Nanopore Native RNA Sequencing

Epitranscriptomics has recently gained significant momentum due to technological advances and translational applications; however, studies on bacterial RNA modifications remain limited. Bacterial RNA is notoriously prone to degradation, and methodologies to investigate the epitra...

What Exactly Is Being Supported? Target-Specific Responses to AI-Generated Political Videos on TikTok

Abstract Responses to AI-generated political videos can evaluate different objects. This qualitative study uses Content–Behaviour–Network (CBN) to examine six TikTok videos and 360 selected responses. Close readings distinguish appreciation of performance, informational commitmen...

Unpacking stigma, health and wellbeing needs of women partners of men who have sex with men

Many women may not know they are women partners of men who have sex with men (WPMSM) until a crisis occurs, such as an unexpected discovery of their partner’s same-sex activity. WPMSM have distinct and intersectional care needs; however, they remain an often-invisible population,...

A Silent Killer in an Unlikely Place: Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Breast

Background: Primary necrotizing fasciitis (NF) of the breast is a rare, life-threatening soft tissue infection that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its non-specific early presentation and uncommon anatomical location. Objective: We report a case of primary NF of the breast to h...
