Depressive symptom trajectories after spinal cord injury: a secondary analysis of public-use data

Background Depressive symptoms after spinal cord injury (SCI) are linked with poorer participation and greater health service use, but long-term symptom heterogeneity remains incompletely defined. Objective: To identify model-based depressive symptom trajectories after SCI and ex...

Mapping Natural Disasters Using Social Media Posts with an Encoder-Decoder Model

Abstract. Real-time mapping of social media posts from users in the affected areas during a natural disaster can generate actionable intelligence for disaster response teams. Given the complexities of natural language used in such posts, modern approaches rely on Artificial Intel...

CDGP-Net: Channel-Decoupling and Geographic-Prior Fusion for Spatial Super-Resolution of HIRAS Radiances with Co-Platform MERSI-II

Hyperspectral infrared sounders provide valuable observations for numerical weather prediction (NWP), but their native nadir spatial resolution of approximately 12–16 km is coarser than the approximately 4 km grid spacing commonly used in convection-permitting regional forecastin...

Development and preliminary evaluation of a digital platform for surgical anatomy education

The transition from foundational anatomy education to applied surgical anatomy remains a persistent challenge in medical and surgical training. This study describes the development and preliminary evaluation of Anatomy Unlocked , a mobile-first, clinically oriented digital anatom...

Latent Classes of Proximal Traumatic Exposure Among Portuguese Police and Security Professionals: Associations with PTSD Symptoms and Psychological Distress

Background: Police and security professionals are routinely exposed to potentially traumatic events as part of occupational duties, placing them at increased risk for post-traumatic stress and broader psychological difficulties. This study aimed to identify latent classes of prox...

Nurse-Led Large Language Model Chatbot for Predicting and Preventing Complications After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background Thirty-day unplanned readmission following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) affects 10%-20% of patients and is a key quality indicator, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to cardiac rehabilitation is limited. Existing r...

Combining swim exercise and Ocimum gratissimum leaf extract: a dual approach to mitigate cardiometabolic derangement in obese male Wistar rats

Abstract The mitigative potential of Ocimum gratissimum aqueous leaf extract (OG) in metabolic diseases is well documented. The impact of exercise on its cardiometabolic effect in obese male Wistar rats is however not known, hence the current study. Twenty-five, 4 weeks old, male...

Individual Differences and Task Complexity in Second Language Writing: A Methodological Review

ABSTRACT This article provides a methodological review of empirical studies on second language (L2) writing and task complexity that have investigated the role of learner individual differences (IDs) in L2 writing processes and outcomes. Thirty journal articles published between...

Perceived risks in the acceptance of e-commerce: evidence from Costa Rica

This study examines perceived risks associated with consumer acceptance of e-commerce in Costa Rica, where digital transactions have expanded rapidly but face barriers related to trust and technological reliability. Despite extensive research on e-commerce adoption, limited atten...

Transferrin-Conjugated Polymeric Nanoparticles via Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly for Enhanced BBB Transport and Glioblastoma Therapy

Abstract Transferrin-coated nanoparticles show promise in delivering chemotherapeutic drugs across biological barriers for treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Employing a synthetic approach integrating advanced chemistries and bespoke in vitro biological assays, we developed...
