The risk of not imaging: a three-scenario framework for justification

Abstract A recurring argument in radiological protection holds that the radiation risk of an imaging examination must be weighed against the clinical risk of not performing it. The argument is applied inconsistently, and evidence on that clinical risk remains sparse compared with...

IGFBP2 attenuates high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction through PI3K/Akt/eNOS pathway activation

Endothelial dysfunction induced by hyperglycemia is a key event in diabetic vascular complications and is closely associated with impaired PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) has been implicated in metabolic regulation and cell survival,...

The Original Model - Golden Balance: Hurricane Formation as Earth Battery Discharge and Void Aggregation Mechanism

This research presents a practical, not theoretical, framework for hurricane formationbased on the Golden Balance model: Variable Energies 3-6-9 and Fixed 7 (Mizan Dahab -Asl Mosh Far' - Origin Not Branch). The Earth is modeled as a battery that charges anddischarges, and excess...

A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY OF YASHTIMADHU GHRITA MALAHARA AND KARPOORA GHRITA MALAHARA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PARIKARTIKA WITH REFERENCE TO FISSURE IN ANO

Parikartika is an anorectal disorder marked by cutting and burning anal pain, often radiating to the nabhi, medra, and basti shira, with anila avarodha. It corresponds clinically to fissure-in-ano, a painful linear ulcer extending from below the dentate line to the anal verge, ty...

Effect of amaranth flatbread on maternal anthropometry during pregnancy: Evidence from a cluster-randomized controlled trial in Southern Ethiopia

Introduction Maternal undernutrition and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remain major public health challenges in Ethiopia, contributing to adverse pregnancy outcomes and poor maternal health. Amaranth, a nutrient-dense pseudocereal, has demonstrated potential to improve maternal nu...

Improved Photocatalysis in Diisocyanide-Supported Heteroleptic Four-Coordinate Copper(I) β-Diketiminate Complexes

Abstract Developing robust, sustainable molecular photosensitizers that combine strong visible-light absorption, long excited-state lifetimes, and potent redox reactivity remains a fundamental challenge in photoredox catalysis. Cu(I) complexes are promising earth-abundant alterna...

Can Artificial Intelligence Falsify or Independently Rediscover Verumika?

This paper develops a stricter second version of a research program linking verumika, artificial consciousness, and autonomous scientific discovery. The central methodological problem is that the statement “AI consciousness would falsify verumika” is scientifically meaningful onl...

LTNE Analysis of Unsteady MHD Flow and Heat Transfer in an Expanding/Contracting Porous-Medium-Filled Pipe with Wall Injection/Suction

This study investigates magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heat transfer in a semi-infinite expanding or contracting porous pipe under local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) conditions with wall suction and injection. The governing momentum and energy equations for the fluid and so...

Occupational and Environmental Hazards in Pediatric Home Healthcare: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Home healthcare workers (HHCWs) face challenges related to hazard exposure and disease prevention. The Home Healthcare Environmental Assessment Survey (HHEAS) was developed as a mobile-friendly version of the Home Healthcare Observation tool (HHCWO) to assess occupati...

Reaction‐Specific Ultralow‐Pt‐Integrated CuCo Carbonate Hydroxide Nanoneedles for Durable Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts that combine high activity, low noble‐metal usage, and durability in alkaline seawater‐containing electrolytes is important for sustainable hydrogen production. Herein, Pt‐integrated copper cobalt carbonate hydroxide nanoneedle ar...

Quasispecies Diversity and Amino Acid Variation at the Fusion Protein Cleavage Site of Newcastle Disease Virus Isolated from Cormorants in Central Asia

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) remains a major threat to poultry production worldwide, and wild waterbirds are recognized as reservoirs of virulent strains. To characterize fine-scale quasispecies diversity at the virulence-determining fusion (F) protein cleavage site, amplicons e...

SrZrO3 Polyhedra with Lattice Variations Showing Efficient Piezocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract SrZrO3 cubes with two different sizes as well as octahedra and rhombic dodecahedra have been solvothermally synthesized. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the possession of an orthorhombic crystal structure, with cubes and octahedra having greater ce...

Per-zero exclusion bounds free of assumptions on the zeros above the band, sharpened by a formally verified zero-free half-plane

A positive value λ of the Weil quadratic form, truncated to the window [−h,h], h=½log13, evaluated at its pole-conditioned minimiser and computed on the geometric side independently of the zeros, is converted into a bound |Re ρ_k − ½| ≤ δ*_k for individual zeros of ζ(s), with no...

Three-Dimensional Tongue Reconstruction Using a Trishul-Pattern Sensate Suprafascial Anterolateral Thigh Flap

Background: Tongue reconstruction after oncologic glossectomy requires restoration of 3-dimensional contour, palatal contact, sensation, and floor-of-mouth support. A flat fasciocutaneous inset may close the defect but may not recreate the functional anatomy of the tongue. We des...

Cysteine-based molecular switches: a focus on KEAP1 and BACH1 in regulating the antioxidant response

Due to the chemical properties of their thiol groups and the surrounding amino acid environment, specific cysteines in proteins serve as the principal intracellular sensors for oxidants and electrophiles. In this review, we focus on the ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor Kelch-li...

Estimating within-patient sagittal pelvic tilt change from routine anteroposterior hip radiographs in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty

Aims Changes in sagittal pelvic tilt influence functional cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although lateral spinopelvic radiographs are the reference standard, they are not routinely obtained, whereas anteroposterior (AP) hip radiographs are widely used. This stud...

Beyond Tokenism: The Role of Critical Mass of Female Directors, Female Chair Leadership, and Stakeholder Orientation on CSR Reporting Tone

ABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the association between the critical mass of female directors, female chair leadership, and the linguistic tone of CSR narratives, and whether country‐level stakeholder orientation moderates these relationships. Using a dictionary‐based textual...

Self‐Responsive Plastron Maintenance on a Superhydrophobic Mesh via Locally Integrated Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Underwater superhydrophobic surfaces can retain an interfacial gas layer (known as plastron), enabling functions such as drag reduction and antifouling. However, the plastron suffers from inevitable instability under hydrostatic pressure and flow‐induced shear. Current e...
