Clinical characteristics, diagnostic challenges, and management of pulmonary actinomycosis: a 10-year retrospective cohort study

Pulmonary actinomycosis (PA) is a rare and diagnostically challenging infection because its clinical and radiological manifestations are nonspecific and often mimic malignancy and other chronic pulmonary diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiological, diagnosti...

Predictive value of preoperative esophagram in postoperative outcomes after antireflux surgery

Abstract Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) significantly impairs quality of life. Antireflux surgery (ARS) improves symptoms when medical therapy fails, but postoperative recurrence and dysphagia remain concerns, emphasizing the need for improved preoperative risk...

Dynamic Semantic Prioritisation and Real-Time Voice Reconstruction for Next-Generation VoIP over 6G Networks

The transition to sixth-generation (6G) networks necessitates shifting from bit-level transmission to semantic communication for latency-sensitive Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, ensuring reliable human-centric interactions. However, conventional architectures proce...

IL10RB-AS1 promotes pro-caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis via regulating the oligomerization and nucleation of CARD8 C-terminal domain to suppress acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract CARD8 (caspase activation and recruitment domain-containing 8) senses intracellular danger signals, leading to inflammasome formation and pyroptosis. Recently studies have shown that CARD8 was highly expressed in hematopoietic cells, however, the mechanism by which the r...

Effects of diarrhea and antibiotic-induced microbial elimination on dynamic changes in fecal microbial communities and antibiotic resistance of Hu sheep lambs ( Ovis aries )

Background As a highly reproductive meat sheep breed in China, Hu sheep is an important economic group in ruminant animal breeding. However, research on its intestinal microbiomes under the background of diarrhea and antibiotic treatment remains relatively limited. Methods This s...

Ureaplasma Species in Perinatal Disease: From the Age of Innocence to the Missing Villain

Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum occupy an odd place in perinatal medicine: dismissed for decades as harmless residents of the female genital tract, they are now recognized as pathogens with real consequences for preterm newborns. This review traces that paradigm shif...

Geriatric Fall-Related Facial Fractures: A Nationwide Analysis of Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Outcomes

INTRODUCTION: Falls are the leading cause of facial fractures in the elderly, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the trends, epidemiology, characteristics, and outcomes of facial fractures in the elderly resulting from me...

Metal–Organic Framework–Spinel Fe‐ZIF‐8@NiAl 2 O 4 Heterostructures Enabling Efficient and Durable Alkaline Water Splitting

Spinel metal oxides such as NiAl 2 O 4 are attractive electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting but are often limited by low surface area, poor conductivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we report a bifunctional MOF–spinel heterostructured catalyst, Fe‐ZIF‐8@NiAl 2...

All-Optically Controlled Memristive Reservoir Computing Capable of Bipolar and Parallel Coding

Physical reservoir computing (RC) utilizes intrinsic dynamics of physical systems for efficient data processing. Emerging optoelectronic RC platforms merge the benefits of electronic and photonic computation. However, conventional designs are constrained by the unipolar photoresp...

Sexually Dimorphic Developmental Trajectories of Cortical and Subcortical Subfields in Early Childhood

Chronic socio-economic adversity is associated with altered neurodevelopment. However, its relation to sex-specific brain structure during early childhood remains incompletely understood. We examined structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 79 children aged 6-7 years...

The Signature Principle: Why Intelligence Carries the Architecture of Its Origin and the Implications for Human AI Governance

Current AI governance frameworks share a single implicit assumption, visible across every instrument they deploy such as safety filters, alignment research, output monitoring, risk classification. The AI system is the governance object, and humans are its cognitive overseers. Thi...

Measurement-Induced Entanglement Transitions and Basin Diagnostics Instruments, First Passage, and Protocol Limits

This paper replaces a universal identification of measurement-induced phase transitions, collapse thresholds, basin loss, and Zeno or anti-Zeno behavior by a typed, model-dependent framework. A hybrid monitored circuit is specified by its Hilbert space, unitary layers, measuremen...

Accumulation of Metals and Metalloids in Marine Invertebrates and Macroalgae in False Bay (Cape Town, South Africa)

The concentrations of 18 metal(loid)s were measured in five marine invertebrate species (Oxystele tigrine and sinensis, Marthasterias glacialis, Cymbula oculus and granatina, Parechinus angulosus, and Mytilus galloprovincialis) and five macroalgae/seaweed species (Aeodes orbitosa...

A new species of Cymatodera Gray (Coleoptera: Cleridae) from the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico

Cymatodera orwelli new species (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is described from Arizona and New Mexico, USA and Sinaloa, Mexico. It appears to belong to a group of mostly Mexican congeners that are moderately elongate, have elongate, sexually dimorphic terminal antennomeres, and simple p...

Correlation of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) expressed miRNAs (BART4, BART7, and BHRF1) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia stages

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of several B-cell malignancies, but its role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains unclear. EBV-encoded microRNAs, including BHRF1 and BART families, are thought to modulate host cell survival and...
