ASSESSMENT OF PREGNANT WOMEN'S KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES REGARDING ANTENATAL CARE AT AL-QUDIS PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTER, MOSUL CITY

Background: Antenatal care is an essential component of maternal healthcare that aims to promote the health of both the mother and fetus through early detection and management of pregnancy-related conditions, health education, and preventive interventions. Pregnant women's knowle...

The Syntax of Creation: Logic, Formal Limits, and the Nature of Rational Faith

This essay explores the intersection of analytical philosophy and Augustinian rational theology, taking the concept of the Logos as an invariant ontological structure of reality. By analyzing the phenomenon of formal independence in set theory—exemplified by the Continuum Hypothe...

Hantavirus Infections in Children

Hantaviruses are rare but deadly pathogens. New World hantaviruses, primarily present in North and South America, cause hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, which leads to death in up to one-third of affected patients. Old World hantaviruses, primarily endemic to Europe and Asia,...

Point-of-Care Ultrasonography by Advanced Practice Providers for Patients With Undifferentiated Shock

BACKGROUND: In this evidence-based practice project, point-of-care ultrasonography by advanced practice providers was implemented in a central Florida intensive care unit. The project was guided by the following question: Does implementation of point-of-care ultrasonography by cr...

A Dual-Output Physiology-Informed Neural Network Architecture for Continuous Cuffless Blood Pressure Waveform Estimation: A Proof‑of‑Concept

Abstract This pilot study introduces the first subject‑specific, physiology‑informed neural network approach for accurate estimation of the full blood pressure (BP) waveform. The method builds on a nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous inputs (NARX), implemented through a...

Paternal age and sperm DNA fragmentation independently affect embryonic ploidy but not euploid embryo implantation potential

To systematically evaluate the associations between paternal factors (age, semen parameters, body mass index, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and leukocyte count), embryonic ploidy, and the clinical implantation potential of euploid embryos.

STRUCTURE-BASED DRUG DESIGN FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE: MOLECULAR DOCKING ANALYSIS OF NOVEL COMPOUNDS

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by dopaminergic neuron destruction and misfolded proteins. Current treatments focus on motor symptoms, but do not target neuronal degeneration. Recent studies suggest a connection between lipid metabol...

No Test, No Claim: Untested Code Is Vibed Code

When a large language model writes code we do not trust, we tend to blame the author: a machine wrote it, so it must be suspect. This paper argues that the instinct points at the wrong variable. What makes code trustworthy is not who wrote it but whether reproducible evidence exi...

The Structural Audit of Civilization: A structural catalogue of where the built world violates the conditions of its own persistence - and what would meet them

This is the audit proper. Its companion, The Grammar of Structural Diagnosis, derived that a world of reflective persisters must build civilization and set out the language in which its structures can be judged. This work turns that grammar on the structures, practices, and syste...

ACCELERATED FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER SUPRASPINATUS TENDON REPAIR USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE THERAPY: A CASE REPORT

The rotator cuff comprises the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis muscles.[1] The tendons of these 4 muscles connect with the shoulder capsule when passing through the upper, back, and front of the shoulder joint; they form a similar sleeve like structur...

Financial Liquidity as an Independent Buffer Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease–Related Income Vulnerability in Mixed-Species Smallholder Farms

Complete reproducibility package for a study testing whether farm-household financial liquidity (cash relative to debt) is associated with reduced FMD-attributable income vulnerability independently of off-farm income diversification, using survey data from 286 mixed-species smal...

In degenerate, compensated and viscous - crystalline alloy, , the Global Einstein -and- Van Cong relations, as those given in Equations (24, 31), and various optical-electrical-thermoelectric laws, enhanced by: the optico-electrical phenomenon (O-EP) and the electro-optical pheno...

The Relationship Between Family Emotional Support and Students' Academic Outcomes Evidence from a Secondary School in Nepal

Family emotional support plays an important role in shaping students' learning experiences and academic development. However, limited research has examined how students' perceptions of family emotional support relate to their academic outcomes in the Nepalese secondary school con...

Comparative host–graft biomechanics of osteoarticular allografts and allograft–prosthesis composites after distal femoral tumor resection

Abstract Background Distal femoral reconstruction after tumor resection can be performed using osteoarticular allografts (OCH) or allograft–prosthesis composites (APC). Although both techniques restore bone stock, complications such as nonunion, graft fracture, and hardware failu...

Foot & Ankle

The August 2026 Foot & Ankle Roundup 360 looks at: Total ankle arthroplasty appears to reduce the long-term burden of symptomatic hindfoot degeneration compared with ankle arthrodesis; A simplified two-part classification for fifth metatarsal base fractures improves reliabili...

UNC5B regulates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition through a SRC-ZEB1 signaling axis to facilitate pancreatic cancer metastasis

Metastatic dissemination is the principal cause of death in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), yet the molecular determinants that enable this process remain poorly understood. Here, we identify the axon guidance receptor UNC5B as a central regulator of PDAC metastasis. Usi...
