A Systematic Reflection on the Challenges in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Education and Careers in the United States

The relationship between education in acupuncture and Chinese medicine (ACM) and its professional practice can be conceptualized as an integrated “factory–product–market” industrial chain. Within the education sector, ACM schools face a significant predicament. Their core mission...

Acceptance of Digital Health and Well-Being: The Development of the UTAUT2-Screener

Abstract Extending conventional health and well-being services with technology has proven to be acceptable and effective. However, implementing such technology in routine care requires contextual tailoring to ensure successful uptake. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of T...

Harnessing of Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) Pomace Powder on Growth Response and Haematological Indices of Sonali Chickens

ABSTRACT Background Tomato pomace, a processing by‐product rich in lycopene and polyphenols, has not yet been systematically evaluated as a functional dietary supplement for Sonali chickens in Bangladesh. Objective This study assessed the dose‐dependent effects of dried tomato po...

Novel Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Translational Prospects from Seronegative Breakthrough to Precision Diagnosis and Treatment

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic, erosive synovitis. While significant progress and breakthroughs have been made in disease diagnosis through basic research and clinical practice, approximately 30%–40% of seronegative RA patients still e...

A Statistical Thermodynamic Lattice Model for Cu–In Coupled Substitution in Sphalerite

This record contains the complete reference implementation, the numerical results underlying every figure and table, and the manuscript for a statistical thermodynamic lattice model of copper-indium coupled substitution in sphalerite. Indium in sphalerite is almost invariably acc...

A randomized noninferiority trial comparing tegoprazan triple therapy and bismuth quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication

Abstract Rising antibiotic resistance has compromised the efficacy of standard Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) eradication regimens. This multicenter trial aimed to evaluate whether a simplified tegoprazan-based triple therapy (TAD) is non-inferior to tegoprazan-based bismuth q...

Globalization and Technological Innovation in Emerging Economies: Examining Non-Linear Threshold Effects and the Moderating Roles of Institutional Quality and Human Capital

Despite the significant role of globalization in driving economic growth, innovation, and technological adoption, limited research has explored its influence on technological innovation.To address these research gaps, this study investigates the moderating impact of institutional...

A training data reduction scheme for electromyography, force myography, and their combination under varying limb positions and loading conditions

Abstract Devices that rely on hand gesture recognition as a form of control require accurate and reliable classification performance to ensure effective use. Two techniques used for this purpose include electromyography and force myography, which rely on consistent muscle activit...

From shunt to gut: managing a ventriculoperitoneal shunt–associated abdominal pseudocyst causing bowel obstruction – a case report

Introduction and importance: Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocysts (APCs) are a rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts, occurring in 1–4.5% of cases and potentially causing abdominal symptoms, bowel obstruction, or shunt malfunction. We present a case of a VP s...

Conflict Dynamics and Marital Resilience in Minangkabau

<ns5:p>This study examines the dynamics of marital conflict and resilience among couples in Minangkabau society, where matrilineal kinship and adat norms shape family interactions. Not all couples choose divorce; many maintain their marriages by developing social practices that s...

Evaluation of Dimensional Deviations Across a Digital-to-Physical Workflow for Orthodontic Appliance Fabrication Using CAD Surface Inspection

Digital-to-physical orthodontic workflows combine intraoral scanning, 3D printing, rescanning and thermoforming, but each step may introduce dimensional deviation affecting final appliance geometry. This pilot methodological study evaluated relative dimensional deviations across...

Life beyond 6,000 genes: From sequence to synthesis in a post-genomics era

Abstract The publication of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequence thirty years ago marked a defining shift in modern biology, establishing yeast as the first fully sequenced eukaryotic model cell. Access to a complete reference genome has catalysed a renaissance in experim...

Mechanical Performances of CFRP Rods Under Tension‐Bending Load: Experimental and Theoretical Analysis

ABSTRACT Carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods with the advantages of lightweight, high strength, corrosion, and fatigue resistant have a promising application prospect in the field of engineering structures. Due to the lack of mechanical performances and theoretical predic...

Semantic alignment and professional formation in shaping expert perceptions of the shadow economy’s size

Purpose This study examines whether semantic alignment with a standardized definition and professional formation are associated with expert perceptions of the shadow economy’s size. It addresses a neglected measurement issue in perception-based shadow economy research: whether re...

The impact of livelihood transitions on rural India through the lens of five capitals: A systematic and bibliometric review

This study assesses livelihood transitions among smallholder farmers in rural India using the five capital asset frameworks focusing on natural, physical, human, social, and financial capital. Through a systematic and bibliometric review of 41 articles, we analyze the socio-econo...

Single‐Molecule Real‐Time Sequencing Reveals Hidden Diversity and Corrects Misdiagnosis in α‐Thalassemia

ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional methods for α‐thalassemia gene diagnosis, such as Gap‐PCR, are primarily designed for common deletions. However, their limitations in detecting complex rearrangements that maintain the total copy number of α‐globin genes can lead to misdiagnosis,...

This record contains the structured dataset and analysis code accompanying the systematic review "Toward clinical-grade deep learning in coronary angiography". The dataset comprises extracted study characteristics and quality appraisal results for the included studies, together w...

The Effect of Modified Extended Shield Grafts on Nasal Tip Aesthetics: An Evaluation Using the Integrated Nasal Tip Aesthetic Score (INTAS)

ObjectiveShield grafts are widely used in rhinoplasty to improve nasal tip projection, definition, and overall aesthetic harmony. However, objectively assessing their contribution remains challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the aesthetic impact of shield graft application u...

Topological Genesis of Quantum Chaos: Multifractality and the Poisson–GOE–Poisson Crossover in Anderson Lattices

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 We present numerical evidence that macroscopic quantum chaos can emerge without nonlinear dynamics in the evolution equation. Instead, it appears as a continuous phase transition driven solely by the topological degradation of the underlying spatial substrate. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐚...
