Drug allergy de-labelling with a direct oral challenge in outpatient hospital visits

Abstract Although direct oral challenge has been adopted by numerous clinicians worldwide in the context of drug hypersensitivity, drug allergy de-labelling remains largely confined to inpatient or outpatient hospital-based care,mostly for penicillins. In this study, we aim to pe...

Exploring Romanian Misinformation with GraphRAG: Community-Level Narratives of COVID-19

Predefined thematic taxonomies can obscure how misinformation narratives emerge, overlap, and change over time. One way to address this limitation is by developing bottom-up data-driven approaches that identify narratives directly from data. We present a pipeline that extracts en...

Intelligent Retrieval of Corresponding Engineering Standard Clauses for Cross-Border Construction Projects

Cross-border construction projects increasingly involve heterogeneous engineering standards from different national systems, creating challenges for standards comparison and compliance assessment. Existing approaches largely rely on textual similarity or syntactic matching, which...

Harmonization, interoperability and an open architecture for all the stakeholders of a pan-European electrical system: the vision of the project OneNet

This work offers an overview of the essential findings of the project OneNet, which aims to enable a pan-European electrical system where the heterogeneous landscape of stakeholders, markets and platforms across Europe can openly participate at all levels. The paper outlines the...

A Demand-Side Benchmark for Consumer-Facing Construction Cost Questions: Price-Figure Span, Output Consistency, and the Case for a Verifiable Reference Layer

Consumers facing home-renovation quotes operate in a credence-goods market: they cannot verify whether a quoted price is fair, and general-purpose large language models (LLMs) are now a zero-cost place to ask. Whether LLM answers are actionable for this purpose is untested. Deman...

The Application Potential and Future Challenges of Plant-Derived Exosome-like Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Liver Diseases

Liver disease is a serious global health challenge, with high morbidity and mortality that put significant socioeconomic stress on society. Despite therapeutic advances, current regimens have been limited by rapid drug resistance and insufficient targeting accuracy, and there is...

Autism in Criminal-Justice and Forensic Settings: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis with an Exploratory Bidirectional Synthesis

Background: Estimates of autism in criminal-justice and forensic populations vary widely, while studies involving autism-defined populations report heterogeneous justice outcomes. Broad pooling can obscure differences in recruitment, diagnostic ascertainment, legal context, and o...

A Lightweight Vision-Guided Framework for Multi-Object Robotic Grasping and Polynomial Spatial Mapping

Robotic grasping based on monocular vision remains challenging due to perception uncertainty, pixel-to-world mapping errors, and a tight per-frame budget. This paper presents a lightweight vision-based multi-object robotic grasping framework that integrates object detection, poly...

Phase-Dependent Spectral Induced Polarization Signatures During DNAPL Transport in Porous Media

Dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) pose persistent challenges for subsurface characterization because their migration, retention, and phase partitioning are difficult to resolve using conventional monitoring approaches. Spectral induced polarization (SIP) provides a non-inv...

Self-reported Sleep Quality and Perceived Sleep Disruptors among Hospitalized Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract Introduction: Sleep disturbance is common among hospitalized patients and may adversely affect recovery and well-being. This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients hospitalized for at least 3 days, with unsatisfactory sleep, describe perceived sleep disrupto...

Infrastructural hospitality from below: coping with state abandonment in Lithuania

This article examines forms of shelter provision that took shape in Lithuania in summer 2022 following the mass release of illegalised migrants from detention centres and their arrival in the cities of Vilnius and Kaunas. Focusing on the grassroots initiative Sienos Grupė (Border...

Early-Life Presentation and Phenotypic Variability of the IGF1R c.3595G>A (p.Gly1199Arg) Variant: A Case Report

Most infants born small for gestational age (SGA) achieve spontaneous catch-up growth within the first two years of life; however, a subset remains growth-restricted and warrants further evaluation. Persistent short stature accompanied by microcephaly should prompt consideration...

Biomass Burning in Australia: No Evidence for Carbonyl Sulfide (OCS) Enhancement in Fire Plumes From In‐Situ Measurements During SouthTRAC

Abstract Determining the atmospheric abundance and the emission sources of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) plays a crucial role for the sulfur budget in the atmosphere. In addition to its main anthropogenic and biogenic sources, biomass burning is assumed to be an essential, but not well...

Vision-based quantification of WC loss during Ni-WC MMC overlay deposition across various GMAW transfer modes

Ni–WC metal matrix composite (MMC) overlays deposited by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) are widely used for wear-resistant hardfacing, but conventional measurements of retained-WC cannot distinguish physical particle loss during deposition from WC dissolution within the molten pool...

Sex‐Disaggregated Condition and Reproductive Investment in Sardina pilchardus Reveal a Decadal Reversal and Non‐Stationary Climate Responses in the Southern Alboran Sea

ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish are highly sensitive to environmental variability, yet sex‐disaggregated assessments of condition and reproductive investment remain rare in Mediterranean fisheries science and absent for the Southern Alboran Sea (SAS). Here, we report a decadal revers...

Increased baseline depression symptomology is associated with worse patient-reported pain and function following PRP for knee Osteoarthritis (OA): a retrospective longitudinal study

Abstract Objective Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is increasingly used to treat knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but variability in reported outcomes has limited broader adoption. Patient-specific psychosocial factors, including depressive symptoms, may be associated with patient-reported...

Pregnant Women’s Experiences of Obstetric Abdominal Ultrasound: A Qualitative Study Exploring Emotional, Cognitive, and Relational Dimensions

Aim: This study aimed to explore pregnant women’s experiences of obstetric abdominal ultrasound and examine the emotional, cognitive, and relational dimensions of these experiences. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted with 20 pregnant women attending routine ob...
