Objective. To investigate the clinical and laboratory changes, specifically focusing on liver function tests, echocardiographic parameters, as well as cognitive and emotional status, and to assess the incidence of cardiovascular events over a period of 12 months in elderly patien...

Stakeholder Integration, Ethical Orientation, and Environmental Performance: Evidence From SMEs in Ghana

ABSTRACT This paper offers a novel theoretical account of how and when stakeholder pressures translate into environmental performance. Building on the Natural Resource‐Based View, we develop a moderated‐mediation model showing (a) stakeholder integration mediates the effect of pr...

Progress of three-layer structure RFQ linacs and the applications

The three-layer structure RFQ linac features a simple structure and fabrication method while providing excellent electrical performance. The main components of the four-vane RFQ cavity (four vane electrodes and the cavity body) are divided into three parts, and machined with high...

Anlotinib combined with almonertinib reverses almonertinib resistance in lung adenocarcinoma by inhibiting the c-MET/PI3K/AKT pathway

Almonertinib resistance poses a major challenge in treating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Research indicates that the c-MET/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are closely associated with resi...
