Hospital wastewater-based antimicrobial resistance epidemiology: a scoping review

Abstract Introduction: Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) offers pooled biological samples of defined populations, complementing clinical surveillance for infectious diseases. Hospitals are hotspots for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). We performed a scoping review assessing hosp...

Social Work as an Institution: Explaining Stability, Change, and Contradictions in the Field

This article argues for the value of studying social work as an institution. The field has long grappled with questions of professional identity and legitimacy. Yet we lack a cohesive understanding of how institutional forces have shaped social work’s development, how the field h...

Public Bathhouses in Japan: Information Space, Gendered Economy, and the Transformation of Social Life

This article examines the socio-economic evolution of Japanese public bathhouses (sento) as dual spaces of the gendered economy and cultural exchange. Rooted in Shinto and Buddhist purification rituals, sento evolved from medieval religious sites into Edo-era commercial hubs that...

An Expert-Informed, Four-Stage Algorithm for Early Recognition and Treatment of Cutaneous Vascular Occlusion After Hyaluronic Acid Filler

Abstract Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the most widely used injectables for facial rejuvenation due to their reversibility with hyaluronidase and ease of use. However, despite their favorable safety profile, the risk of vascular occlusion remains. Early recognition and t...

A Bibliometric Analysis of the Top 100 Most-Cited Articles on Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

Background: Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is a progressive scarring alopecia that disproportionately impacts Black women. Although research interest in CCCA has grown over time, trends among the most influential publications and the representation of skin of col...

Clarifying the Concept of “Unanticipated Transfer to the ICU”: A Scoping Review

Unanticipated transfer to the intensive care unit (ICU), typically defined as an unscheduled escalation of care from inpatient general wards, is widely used in clinical research as a marker of adverse events, clinical deterioration, and system failure. However, its conceptual mea...

Validation of the International Working Group 2023 response criteria for higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms using the International Consortium for Myelodysplastic Syndromes VALIDATE database and a randomized phase III trial

Response assessment criteria in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (HR-MDS) have been updated in the 2023 International Working Group (IWG) criteria. However, validation of these criteria has been limited to date. We analyzed overall survival (OS) by be...

A multiomic atlas reveals distinct immune landscapes in preterm and term chronic placental inflammation

Chronic placental inflammation (CPI), an umbrella term encompassing chronic chorioamnionitis, chronic villitis, and chronic deciduitis, is associated with preterm birth (PTB), yet its cellular and molecular determinants across gestation remain poorly defined. Here, we constructed...

An international multicenter analysis of the outcome of pediatric first variceal hemorrhage

Background & Aims: Management of portal hypertension in children including primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding is controversial due to limited understanding of mortality risk after first variceal hemorrhage (1VH). This international multicenter study was designed to advance...

Distant water fishing and its effects on domestic food security

Governments around the world have identified distant water fleets (DWFs) as a key threat to ecosystem health, domestic economic opportunities, and food security. With a high prevalence of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies in countries where DWFs operate, the aquatic f...

Lysosomal Expansion Compartments Mediate Zinc and Copper Homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Zinc is an essential transition metal that participates in many biological processes. In C. elegans, excess zinc is stored in lysosomes in intestinal cells; this process involves increasing the expression of the zinc transporter CDF-2 and remodeling of lysosomes characte...

Neurodiversity among nurses: Consequences for well-being and burnout

Background A particular gap in past research is a lack of understanding of how neurodivergence may impact nurses' workplace well-being. With up to 20% of individuals displaying neurodivergent traits in the workplace, it is important to recognize that those traits could be conside...

Quantifying hybrid electrochemical–biological CO₂ conversion systems

Hybrid electro-biomanufacturing provides an attractive route for converting CO₂ into fuels and chemicals beyond the constraints of natural photosynthesis. However, achieving systems-level high productivity and efficiency while maintaining robust electro-biological (electrobio) op...

Sensitivity to ATR–CHK1 pathway inhibition in MDS/AML is enhanced by SRSF2 mutations and reduced by RUNX1 loss

Abstract SRSF2 mutations occur in 5–15% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and ~15% of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), are enriched in elderly/secondary AML, and lack mutation-directed therapy. We aimed to identify vulnerabilities in MDS/AML with SRSF2 mutations. Ex vivo drug-sensi...

Training the next generation of minimally invasive HPB surgeons: are current fellowships crossing the learning curve?

Abstract Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) improved outcomes in hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) cases, yet adoption is slowed by technical complexity and steep learning curves. This retrospective review sought to characterize MIS training variations across three fellowship...

Maternal healthcare quality, continuity, and experiences among pregnant adolescents and adult women in Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa: A cohort study

The capacity of health systems to provide quality care for pregnant adolescents remains underexplored. This study examined the quality, continuity, and experiences of maternal healthcare among pregnant adolescents (<20 years) compared with adult women (20 + years) in Ethiopia, Ke...
