Meningioma of the foramen of Luschka choroid plexus presenting as glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A case report and review of the literature

Background: Meningiomas arising from the choroid plexus of the foramen of Luschka (CPFOL) without dural attachment are an exceedingly rare subtype of intracranial tumor. They present a significant diagnostic challenge, as their clinical and radiological features can mimic more co...

Adaptive Terrain Memory Navigation: A Modular Fail-Safe for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Satellite-Navigation-Denied Environments

Tactical unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) rely almost exclusively on GPS and a radio-control (RC) link for navigation and recovery. Either link can fail independently — through deliberate jamming or spoofing, terrain and weather blockage, or physical damage to the receiver hardwar...

Multicenter retrospective study on perceived effectiveness, reported side effects, and cognitive outcomes of SSRIs in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) markedly increases risk of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and mood disorders, and is associated with a spectrum of cognitive impairment, from borderline functioning to intellectual disability, with cognitive decline frequently reporte...

Collecting for Catherine the Great : Empire and the Assembling of New Granada’s Indigenous Language Texts (1785–1791)

Abstract In 1787, King Charles III of Spain ordered each of his viceroys to collect dictionaries and manuscripts in languages Indigenous to Spanish America that would be sent to Saint Petersburg for use in Catherine the Great’s universal dictionary. While scholars have examined t...

Risk Factors for Estrogen Receptor Subtype‐Specific Contralateral Breast Cancer in Women Under Age 55 Years

Women with estrogen receptor negative (ER-) contralateral breast cancer (CBC) are 50% more likely to die of CBC compared to women with estrogen receptor positive (ER+) CBC. We comprehensively investigated risk factors for ER subtype-specific CBC using the Women's Environmental Ca...

Borderline Personality Disorder: Assessment from an Integrative Dimensional and Categorical Perspective

Abstract This study examines the psychometric properties of the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) subscale of the Scale of Externalizing Behavior Problems in Adults (SEPBA-BPD). This instrument is designed to assess BPD from an integrative perspective, incorporating both cont...

A Cigarette Tax and Childcare Mitigate Nicotine Exposure in Young Children

OBJECTIVES The detrimental effects of tobacco smoke on children’s health are well known. Although evidence suggests that cigarette excise taxes can reduce adult smoking, it remains unclear whether they reduce the nicotine levels of infants and toddlers—a developmentally vulnerabl...

Mast cell–derived SPP1 promotes colorectal cancer liver metastasis by suppressing BTG1-mediated JUN degradation

The role of mast cells in colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the effect of mast cells on the CRC liver metastasis and the underlying mechanism. The bulk-seq, scRNA-seq datasets and clinical samples were integrated to identi...

Associations between parental feeding practices, maternal stress, and body mass index in children aged 3–11 years

Childhood obesity remains a major public health concern, with early-life nutritional environments and family-related factors playing important roles in children’s weight outcomes. Parental feeding practices and maternal psychological well-being have been associated with children’...

Microbiological and genomic approaches to study and characterize co- and cross-resistance to antimicrobial peptides in Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19,111 variants

Abstract Background Antimicrobial peptides are considered a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics for controlling Listeria monocytogenes , a major foodborne pathogen. However, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, including co- and cross-resistance between struct...

Atlantoaxial dislocation in a patient with Neurofibromatosis type 1: Case report and review

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or von Recklinghausen’s disease is a complex multi-system genetic disorder characterized by neurocutaneous manifestations, nervous system affection, and various skeletal dysplasia. Rarely, this disorder might be associated with atlantoax...

Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes in patients with breast and gynecological cancer—a case series and structured literature review

Abstract Purpose Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) occur in less than 1% of patients with cancer but carry a significant clinical burden. Prognosis strongly depends on timely diagnosis and treatment. This study presents an illustrative case series and a structured revie...

The implementation of wide angle and UWB retrodirective linear Van Atta array

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of a broadband 1×16 Van Atta reflector array based on compact antipodal Vivaldi antennas. The proposed structure achieves wide azimuthal coverage in addition to ultra-wideband operation, ensuring stable retr...

Spectrofluorometric and spectrophotometric assay of anticancer drug ensartinib using ion-pair complex formation reaction with eosin Y

Abstract Two simple, sensitive, and eco-friendly spectroscopic methods were developed for the determination of ensartinib through ion-pair complexation with eosin Y. Method A represents the first reported spectrofluorometric assay for the studied drug and it is based on fluoresce...

TDCOSMO XXVI: Uniform Lens Modeling of Eight Doubly Imaged Quasars

We present the first uniform gravitational lens modeling analysis of eight doubly imaged quasars from multi-band observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. Previous time-delay cosmography analyses by the TDCOSMO Collaboration have primarily relied on quadruply imaged quasars,...

Dual-targeted bioengineered bacterial extracellular vesicles ameliorate senile osteoporosis via SAE1-mediated NAT10 SUMOylation and ac4C-dependent glycolysis

Senile osteoporosis (SOP) is an age-related skeletal disease characterized by progressive bone loss and the deterioration of bone microarchitecture. Promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is a potential strategy for SOP intervention...

Patterns of failure in metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC treated with crizotinib: implications for consolidative stereotactic body radiotherapy

Acquired resistance limits durable control with crizotinib in metastatic ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We characterized residual disease and initial progression patterns and identified predictors of candidates for consolidative stereotactic body radiation thera...

The Relationship Between Maternal Ambivalence and Readiness to Discontinue Breastfeeding: A Descriptive and Correlational Study Among Mothers in Türkiye

Background: Breastfeeding is widely recognized as the optimal method of infant feeding and provides substantial biological, psychological, and relational benefits for the mother–infant dyad. However, the transition from breastfeeding to weaning remains insufficiently explored, pa...

Early pre-symptomatic and sex-specific cardiac remodeling precedes heart failure in zebrafish with human actin mutation

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure with notable sex differences in susceptibility and progression. Although sarcomere mutations such as cardiac actin ACTC1 p.T126I contribute to familial DCM, the in vivo effects and sex-specific consequences remain u...
