Five-year skeletal and dental stability following bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular advancement in Class 2 malocclusion

Background Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) is widely used for mandibular advancement in patients with skeletal Class 2 malocclusion; however, long-term postoperative stability remains an important clinical concern. Purpose To evaluate long-term skeletal, dentoalveolar,...

Automation of Reporting Tasks and Its Impact on Bandwidth for Customer Experience Managers

Organizations increasingly automate reporting to reduce the manual effort of collecting, verifying, and circulating operational data, a burden that falls heavily on Customer Experience (CX) managers in Software-as-a-Service firms. This study examines whether employee perceptions...

A deterministic coordinate-based closed-loop robotic manipulator for reliable low-cost pick-and-place automation

Purpose This study aims to design, fabricate and experimentally validate a low-cost robotic manipulator capable of executing flexible point-to-point pick-and-place operations based on user-defined motion. This study focuses on improving the positioning accuracy and operational re...

MZB1 marks a B-cell-associated stromal-immune microenvironment in cervical squamous cell carcinoma: a multi-omics analysis

BACKGROUND: Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is a common gynecologic malignancy with a heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). The role of MZB1, a B-cell-specific molecular chaperone, in CSCC remains poorly characterized. METHODS: We performed an integrative mu...

Enjoying contradictions: The spectacular fantasy of tourism authenticity in southern Africa

This article uses Debord's ‘spectacle’ and Lacanian psychoanalysis to theorize tourism authenticity as a fantasy (i.e. a story we tell ourselves to make sense of the world). Some tourism types sell ‘authenticity’ by offering experiences of ‘pristine’ nature and ‘exotic’ people. O...

Hall Shift Current and Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in Gapped Dirac Fermion Systems

We discuss a new mechanism for the nonlinear anomalous Hall effect in tilted two-dimensional gapped Dirac fermion systems. This mechanism originates from a side-jump displacement associated with Landau–Zener tunneling across the mass gap. In lightly doped tilted Dirac systems wit...

Manipulatable Cascade Pumping Single-Photon Upconversion

Photon upconversion (UC), while promising for infrared photonics, is fundamentally constrained by limited spectral response range, low efficiency, and slow response speeds. Here, we present a machine learning-guided single-photon UC strategy based on cascade pumping that implemen...

The extended pink esthetic score (E-PES): a reliability and multidirectional score-behavior study for peri-implant esthetic assessment

OBJECTIVES: The Pink Esthetic Score (PES) is widely used to assess peri-implant soft-tissue esthetics around single-tooth implant restorations; however, frontal-view assessment may incompletely capture three-dimensional peri-implant features such as buccolingual contour, emergenc...

Behavioral changes preceded by subthalamic nucleus activity alterations in a progressive macaque model of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is diagnosed after motor symptoms appear, although non-motor symptoms emerge years earlier. Following years of pharmacological treatment, high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a key hub in goal-directed behaviors, can...

Perceived learning curve of the nursing team using the da vinci XI surgical system in a Brazilian university hospital

This qualitative exploratory study evaluated 25 nursing team members experienced in Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) at a Brazilian university hospital. Data collection used a validated instrument (CVI = 1.0), and Bardin's thematic analysis identified three competency domains: clin...

Mechanically Dynamic and Immuno-Instructive Biomaterials: Converging Strategies to Direct Cell Fate in Regenerative Microenvironments

Tissue regeneration is influenced by the dynamic interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), in which the repair outcomes are collectively determined by the evolving mechanical properties and strictly regulated immune responses. Conventional biomaterials, which...

GC_scRNAseq

Single-cell sequencing data of primary lesions, adjacent cancerous tissues, and normal gastric tissues from gastric cancer patients.

Post-injury high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to lymphocyte ratio and nonunion risk in adult extremity fractures: evidence from a multicenter retrospective cohort

Early immuno-inflammatory response serves a critical role in the process of fracture healing, and both excessive and insufficient activation after injury may predict adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the association between post-injury high-sensitivity C-reactive...

Pharmacologic Treatment Response in Panic Disorder with Comorbid Medical Conditions: A Systematic and Narrative Review

Panic disorder frequently co-occurs with medical conditions, complicating diagnosis and treatment.Although pharmacotherapy is a first-line treatment for panic disorder, pharmacotherapeutic evidence for patients with medical comorbidities is limited.Therefore, this review systemat...

Oral cavity cancer knowledge and clinical practices among medical students and interns in the West Bank: a cross-sectional study

Oral cavity cancer (OCC) remains a major global public health challenge, with disproportionately high morbidity and mortality in developing regions. In the West Bank, OCC incidence and mortality are among the highest in the Middle East and North Africa. As primary care physicians...

A Coupling-Strength-Based Recursive Multi-Resolution Token-Chain Language Model

언어 모델은 일반적으로 인접한 토큰들이 예측 가능하고 재사용 가능한 단위를 형성하는 경우에도 토큰 해상도 단계에서 연산을 할당합니다. 본 독립적인 기술 제안서에서는 재귀적 다중 해상도 토큰 체인 모델(RMTC)을 제안합니다. RMTC는 토큰 주소 지정이 가능한 아키텍처로, 강력하게 결합된 스팬...

Exposure-informed lung transcriptomic analysis links predicted NNK targets to cell type-specific remodeling programs in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is associated with cigarette smoking, yet the relationship between the tobacco-specific nitrosamine nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK) and IPF-associated lung transcriptional remodeling remains incompletely understood. Here, we developed...

Scaling the blue gold: process challenges and scale-up constraints in fish skin-derived collagen bioproducts

Collagen is a widely studied biomacromolecule valued for its biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and high water-binding capacity, enabling its use across food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and biomedical sectors. Fish processing by-products, such as skin and scales, offer a rich and...
