Respiratory-swallowing Measures and the Impact of Bolus Hold in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract Respiratory and swallowing impairments are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD), potentially disrupting respiratory-swallow coordination. This study aimed 1) to examine respiratory-swallowing phase patterns and respiratory cessation duration in individuals with PD across v...

Lacrimal Secretory Niche Remodeling in Dry Eye Disease: Single-Cell and Spatial Insights into Acinar Dysfunction

Reduced tear output can arise from altered neural regulation, impaired epithelial secretion, or loss of secretory tissue, with different implications for recovery. This focused narrative review integrates physiological, single-cell, spatial, organoid, and mechanistic studies iden...

Informed Consent for the Publication of Case Reports of Deceased Subjects in Medicolegal Journals: A Comparative Review of Editorial Policies and a Proposal

Introduction Case reports and case series are central to forensic pathology, yet they almost invariably concern a deceased subject and often contain potentially identifying material. International publication ethics standards on consent (ICMJE, COPE) were designed for the living...

Russia at the global food market

Russia maintains significant positions in global food markets; however, from H2 2026 onwards, stability of these positions has become increasingly dependent on export logistics. Between January and July, the value of agricultural exports rose by 24.9%, matching the value of impor...

Loving in Many Directions: Faithful Polyamory, Indigenous Epistemology, and Revitalizing Christian Discipleship

Christian discipleship, when rooted in polyamorous principles and Indigenous epistemology, offers a radical recovery of biblical reciprocity and expansive covenant. By reimagining relationships as archetypal webs of kinship rather than exclusive dyads, this paper argues that the...

What Is the Matter? A Role-First Architecture for Matter Identities, Embedded Structures, and Connective Tissue

The science of matter has a language problem. The same words—state, phase, order, and regime—are used for different physical responsibilities, while different fields often use different words for closely related organizations. Matter identities, host-bound structures, mechanisms,...

Carbon tax impact estimation in 15 countries

Pre-registration including Hypotheses, measured variables and data analysis plan to the above titled study.

Distribution and Clustering of Beta-Thalassemia- and Sickle Cell-Related Disorders Among Scheduled Tribes in Tamil Nadu: An Exploratory Multivariate Analysis

Background/Objectives: Beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disorders are among the most common inherited hemoglobin disorders affecting tribal populations in India, with marked ethnic and geographic heterogeneity. Although exploratory multivariate approaches have been used, only lim...

Thermodynamic and structural paradigms of acetylcholinesterase inhibition: Mapping the superior stability of glucosylated eugenol analogues

Eugenol, a phenylpropene found predominantly in clove, is known for its neuroprotective effects, including the inhibition of human acetylcholinesterase (AChE). While early studies identified eugenols as an effective AChE inhibitor, the relative chemical space of its analogues rem...

Who Grades the Grader? The Verification Gap in Self-Testing Code Agents

When a coding agent writes both code and tests, the two can agree while sharing the same mistake. Passing those tests may then conceal a misunderstood requirement. We measure how often code reported as successful fails tests that were not provided to the agent. We call this misma...

Advanced Endometrial Cancer Mimicking Pelvic Inflammatory Disease in a Postmenopausal Woman—A Case Report

Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in high-income countries, with recurrence occurring in approximately 8.3% of endometrioid endometrial carcinoma cases. Recurrence in elderly patients is associated with significantly worse outcomes, compou...

Discovery and Modulation of an Unusual Terminal Mismatch Bypass Activity Involving 3′-Phosphorothioated Primers and Commercial Strand Displacement DNA Polymerases

Abstract Phosphorothioated (PST) oligonucleotides are extensively used in RNA therapeutics and biosensing applications. PST-modified linkages remain part of 13 approved oligonucleotide drug backbones (out of 23 total approved drugs). Despite the widespread utilization of PST link...

Ontology V9.0 Spacetime Quantum Equation

Based on the Ontology V8.0 series of works, the spacetime quantum equation is obtained:\[{\Delta dx = 2 \cdot \frac{1-\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}}{v}\sqrt{\frac{\hbar\,G_\text{eff}}{c}}}.\]

Shifting Patterns of Precipitation Extremes in the S outheast A tlantic Basin— B razil: From Observed Trends to Future Projections

ABSTRACT Understanding the variability and evolution of precipitation extremes associated with climate change is essential to support adaptation strategies, risk management, and civil protection. In this context, this study investigates the climatology, observed trends, and futur...

PEDOT:PSS-Based OECT Common-Source Amplifiers for Electrophysiological Signal Amplification

Stable amplification of weak electrophysiological signals is important for low-voltage bioelectronic interfaces, but the gain and waveform fidelity of organic electrochemical transistor (OECT)-based amplifiers are strongly influenced by device characteristics and bias conditions....

Appetitive Pavlovian conditioned approach to reward location is reduced by both adrenergic and NMDA receptor antagonism at memory reconsolidation

Abstract Rationale Appetitive Pavlovian cues can drive maladaptive reward seeking via stimulus–reward memories. Disrupting memory reconsolidation offers a potential strategy to reduce their influence, but evidence for β-adrenergic blockade with propranolol is inconsistent across...

Philosophy and the Investigation of the Disciplines: Against the Absurdity of Intellectual Separation

This paper argues that disciplinary boundaries are useful divisions of inquiry but should not be mistaken for divisions within existence itself. Philosophy neither replaces nor rules over specialized disciplines; rather, it engages their findings, assumptions, concepts, foundatio...

A Planar Multiport Multi-Circular Patch MIMO Antenna on Flexible Substrate with Defected Ground Structure for Sub-6 GHz

In this proposed work, a flexible planar six-port Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) microstrip antenna is presented that is intended for sub-6 GHz Fifth Generation (5G), wearable, and biomedical wireless applications. The antenna employs a multi-circular radiating patch topol...

Humanity's Seeking: Love Without Possession and Freedom Without Domination

Humanity’s Seeking examines the common human movement toward love and freedom and argues that these are often distorted into possession, attachment, authority, and domination. It proposes love without possession and freedom without domination as a direction for examining conditio...

EVALUATING POTABILITY OF GROUNDWATER USING AI-DRIVEN APPROACHES

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into groundwater quality assessments is a pivotal step toward achieving water resource sustainability and ensuring its safety for human consumption. This is achieved by leveraging the advanced analytical capabilities of these te...
