Development of insulin resistance in women over the menopause transition

BACKGROUND. Body weight and insulin resistance in women increase in midlife. It is not known whether this is driven by the menopause transition or solely by chronological aging. We aimed to determine the role of the menopause transition and menopause-related BMI changes in the de...

Disclosing pollution: causal impacts of key emission unit listings on Shanghai's housing market

Abstract We provide causal estimates of the effect of Shanghai's key emission unit listings on nearby housing prices. Implemented in 2016, the disclosure policy requires annual public disclosure of designated polluting firms and their pollution information. Using repeated cross-s...

A preliminary model for estimating mass-specific oxygen uptake during manual wheelchair propulsion from mechanical power and heart rate

Manual wheelchair users may have reduced physical activity and total energy expenditure, while wearable devices may not adequately capture external mechanical demand during wheelchair propulsion. This pilot study examined whether wheel-level mechanical power combined with heart r...

The Effect of Women's Awareness on the Prevention and Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Background & Objective: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age. Greater awareness and early intervention are necessary to avert the sequelae like infertility, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus. The present...

Neural Achromatic Imaging for Large‐Scale Metalens

ABSTRACT Metalenses leverage subwavelength nanostructures to achieve high‐resolution imaging through phase manipulation, offering a flat alternative to traditional refractive and diffractive imaging systems. However, diffraction‐induced chromatic aberration remains a longstanding...

Articulation of the Higgs Potential: Minima, Stability and the Scale the Weyl Orbit Does Not Set

Volume IV stated the workings of the electroweak Higgs and refused to identify them with the dilatation compensator of the Weyl orbit. Those workings presuppose a potential. Volume V articulates it. At tree level the renormalisable invariant is V = μ²Φ†Φ + λ(Φ†Φ)², with λ > 0 and...

Caspase-Like Proteases as Contributors in the Functioning of Reproductive Barriers During Distant Hybridization in Solanaceae

Distant hybridization is an important breeding strategy that can effectively expand the genetic pool for developing new, high-yielding, and stress-resistant cultivars. However, reproductive isolation often hinders the application of this approach. Intergeneric reproductive barrie...

Macrophage Smad1 drives post-infarction dysfunction by reducing angiogenesis and by promoting matrix remodeling

AIMS: Infarct macrophages undergo dramatic phenotypic changes in response to cytokines and growth factors and serve as central effectors in cardiac repair and remodeling. Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β superfamily members are key regulators of macrophages and signal predomina...

Infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee ( IPACK ) vs. selective tibial nerve block for analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a randomised controlled trial

Summary Introduction Infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) and the selective tibial nerve block both provide analgesia for the posterior aspect of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This randomised controlled triple‐b...

Clinical impact of dual carbapenemase co-production on 28-day mortality in ICU patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae: a prospective study from South India

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a critical priority pathogen associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Although carbapenemase co-production is increasingly recognized, its clinical si...

Fenton-Mediated Surface Modulation of Microplastics: Effects and Mechanisms on the Fluorescence Response of Nile Red Staining

Abstract Nile Red (NR) fluorescence staining enables rapid microplastic (MP) screening, but weak dye affinity and matrix-derived false positives limit quantitative reliability. This study investigated whether controlled Fenton digestion can modulate microplastic surfaces to enhan...

Bidirectional Multi-Scale Cross-Modal Attention Network for SAR–Multispectral Semantic Segmentation

Fusing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral (MS) imagery for semantic segmentation remains challenging because of cross-modal semantic discrepancies, cloud-induced contamination, incomplete integration of complementary details, and the loss of spatial information duri...

Active Commuting and Air Pollution Risk Perception in a Suburban Environment: Evidence from Markham, Ontario

Air pollution is a significant global environmental threat exacerbated by anthropogenic processes, including urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. Active transportation (AT), defined as modes of travel that rely on physical human effort such as walking or cycling,...

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection Prevention Practices in US Hospitals

Importance Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) remains a common and morbid health care–associated infection. Although evidence-based prevention strategies are well established, the degree to which hospitals adopt and sustain these practices over time and whether t...
