Controlled hypotension therapy with isosorbide dinitrate for postoperative bleeding of transurethral resection of the prostate

Introduction: Postoperative bleeding is a well-known complication of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of controlled hypotension using isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) as a treatment for refractory postoperative bleedin...

Beyond the surveillance threat: when and how human-AI collaboration mitigates or magnifies employee privacy concerns

Does human–AI collaboration necessarily heighten employees’ concerns for information privacy? Drawing on cognitive appraisal theory, this study challenges deterministic accounts of AI and privacy by proposing a dual-appraisal mechanism. Using a mixed-methods design (time-lagged s...

Computational Guided Structural Design for Optimized Pore Size and Shape Metal‐Organic Framework Enabling One‐Step CH 4 and C 3 H 8 Purification From CH 4 /C 2 H 6 /C 3 H 8 Ternary Gas Mixture

ABSTRACT Current natural gas upgrading strategies primarily focus on CH 4 recovery, treating C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 merely as impurities, which results in resource wastage. In this work, an advanced industrial operation, simultaneous separation of both pure CH 4 and C 3 H 8 from CH...

The effect of social support on physical activity of hemodialysis patients : the chain mediating role of exercise self-efficacy and barriers to exercise benefits

Abstract Background Maintenance hemodialysis patients exhibit low physical activity, which is associated with sarcopenia, increased risk of cardiovascular events, and elevated all-cause mortality. Social support is an important resource for promoting healthy behaviors. But the me...

Orthopedic Biomaterials in the Clinical Reconstruction of Osteoporotic Atlantoaxial Injuries: A Review

Background: Aging of the population increases the incidence of osteoporosis with atlantoaxial instability. Poor bone microarchitecture causes high rates of screw loosening, implant failure, and revision surgery, which remains a critical challenge for upper cervical surgery. Tradi...

Fe3O4@Au Magnetic–PlasmonicNanoparticles Self-Assembled into Gammadion-Shaped Nanostructuresin a Gradient Magnetic Field for High-Sensitivity Optical Sensing

Abstract Most of the bottom-up approaches, such as light-induced, capillarity-assisted, and electric or magnetic field-assisted assembly methods, have been carried out in fabricating crystalline structures, which can exhibit unique optical, magnetic, or electrical properties. Amo...

Catalytic Performance of AAEM-Loaded Biochars for Regulating Anhydrosugar Formation During Cellulose Pyrolysis

Biochar has attracted increasing attention as a low-cost catalyst for biomass pyrolysis due to its developed pore structure, abundant surface functional groups and tunable physicochemical properties. In this study, biochars loaded with alkali and alkaline earth metal (AAEM) speci...

Multiscale synergistic design for enhanced energy storage performance in Bi 0.5 Na 0.5 TiO 3 -based lead-free dielectrics under various electric fields

Abstract Dielectric capacitors have been recognized as promising devices for advanced pulse power systems due to their high-power density and fast charge-discharge rates. The dielectrics must simultaneously achieve large energy storage density and high efficiency to support the r...

Curbing corporate greenwashing with transparency: the governance role of open government data in China

In the digital economy era, open government data (OGD) has become an important institutional arrangement for improving environmental governance and promoting sustainable corporate development. By increasing the transparency and accessibility of public information, OGD may reduce...

A Light-ControlledDNA Nanoclaw Machine: IntegratedMultiplexed Recognition, Spatiotemporally Programmable Therapy, andReal-Time Electrochemical Signaling for Precision Receptor Regulation

Abstract Cell membrane receptors are pivotal targets in precise therapeutics, yet their ubiquitous expression across tissues remains a fundamental barrier to achieving cell-specific intervention. To overcome the limitations of conventional monotargeting approaches, we developed a...

Lysosome‐Targeted Self‐Adjuvanting Ammonia Nanogenerator Potentiates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Immunotherapy via Ammonia Death

ABSTRACT Ammonia death is a recently identified form of regulated cell death with unique molecular mechanisms and prominent anticancer activity. Nevertheless, its efficacy is severely restricted by the absence of tumor‐targeted ammonia delivery vehicles and poorly defined immunog...

Counterintuitive Temperature-Dependent Interfacial Thermal Resistance in Twisted van der Waals Interfaces

Precise control of interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is essential for thermal management in van der Waals (vdW) devices. Here, we report a counterintuitive temperature-dependent reversal of ITR in twisted PtX2 (X = S, Se, Te) interfaces. At near-commensurate small twist angles...

Exploring the mediating role of willingness to communicate between self-regulation, professor-student rapport, and learner engagement in GenAI-supported learning: A mixed-methods study

The present study investigates the relationships among self-regulation, professor-student rapport, willingness to communicate, and learner engagement in GenAI-supported higher education from the perspective of Social Cognitive Theory. A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantita...

Genetic polymorphism of 24 short tandem repeats in the population of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
