Association of left atrioventricular coupling index with mortality in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Background The left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) is a novel echocardiographic parameter reflecting atrioventricular interaction and cardiac remodelling. However, its association with mortality in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unclear. We...

Research of CO2 Mineralization Mechanism in Coal Mine Backfill: Experimental Characterization, Molecular Simulation, and Engineering Knowledge Transfer

Abstract The escalating global climate crisis necessitates innovative solutions for CO 2 mitigation, particularly within resource-intensive industries. This study develops a high-performance CO 2 mineralized backfill to address the dual challenge of carbon sequestration and indus...

The Relationship Between Vitamin D Level and Cardiovascular Parameters in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background & Objective: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, often associated with metabolic complications. Vitamin D deficiency is frequently observed in PCOS women and is associated with multiple effects. This study wa...

Metagenome shotgun sequencing allows insights into the functional potential of the vaginal microbiome associated with pelvic organ prolapse in sows

Abstract Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a leading cause for sow mortality in the United States. Recent work has evaluated biological factors associated with POP, and differences have been observed within the vaginal microbiota of sows at high risk using 16S rRNA gene amplicon seq...

Consciousness Valence and Moral Admission

Consciousness, Valence and Moral Admission presents a bounded framework for assessing how organizational evidence may support experiential attribution, how felt valence may be evaluated, and when an experience can enter moral comparison. Its central methodological principle is th...

Directing the Labor Market: Shared Directors and Employee Flows

Abstract Using résumé data on over 20 million U.S. workers, we find that the flow of employees between a pair of firms sharply drops by about 20% during periods in which the firms share a board director. This relationship is stronger in settings where firms have greater potential...

Extended follow-up of in vivo BCMA CAR-T therapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma

Data on long-term outcomes of in vivo chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR‑T) therapy remain scarce. We previously reported preliminary safety and efficacy data of in vivo B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR‑T (ESO-T01), in four patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myelom...

Comparison of visual outcomes following ray-tracing-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis with different optical zone sizes

To evaluate the impact of different optical zone (OZ) size on clinical outcomes following ray-tracing-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). A total of 126 eyes of 63 patients were stratified by intended OZ size: 6.5- group (6.0 - 6.5 mm) and 6.5+ gr...

Association of Baseline Serum DKK-1 Levels with Subsequent Bone Metastasis in Stage III Breast Cancer

Background and Objectives: Bone metastasis is the most frequent site of distant spread in breast cancer, yet reliable biomarkers capable of identifying patients at increased risk before metastatic disease becomes clinically evident remain limited. We investigated whether baseline...

Towards Common Ground: Perspectives on Energy Transitions in Canadian Oil and Gas Producing Municipalities

Abstract Oil and gas producing municipalities host Canada's highest‐emitting industries while facing economic and social risks as the country pursues carbon neutrality. Understanding how these communities envision their economic futures, and the barriers and enablers they encount...

Non-Hermitian 𝒫𝒯 symmetric Klein-Gordon fields in Lorentz-violating wormholes spacetime background

We investigate a [Formula: see text]-symmetric Klein–Gordon (KG) oscillator in a [Formula: see text]-dimensional Lorentz-violating (LV) traversable wormhole spacetime. The geometry is characterized by a smooth throat of radius [Formula: see text] and a constant lapse function, [F...

Re-presenting the body: Eusebia Cosme’s performative revisions of modernist aesthetics in Negrista poetry

This article examines the career and critical reception of the Afro Cuban declamadora (poetry reciter) Eusebia Cosme during the 1930s–1940s, focusing on her stage performances of poesía negrista (negrista poetry), also known as poesía afroantillana (Afro Antillean poetry). This l...

A qualitative study of organisational support and staff stress in intellectual disability services: Left to cope alone

BACKGROUND: Support from frontline managers and the organisation is crucial for staff wellbeing and the ability to cope with behaviours that challenge services. The aim of this study was to identify organisational factors impacting staff wellbeing and service quality in Swedish g...

Electrostatic Regulation of Sulfur Spatial Evolution for Dimensionally Stable Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are promising for high‐energy storage but are limited by complex multistep sulfur redox reactions that induce polysulfide migration, sluggish conversion kinetics, and severe cathode swelling. Here, we report a boron nitride/carbon nanotube...

Differential gene expression in Glisson’s capsule associated with liver abscesses in feedlot cattle

Liver abscesses (LA) in feedlot cattle are associated with reduced growth performance, increased liver and offal condemnations, and carcass value losses; however, potential animal welfare impacts, including pain, remain poorly understood. Although liver parenchyma lacks pain rece...

When the fat is missing: a fat-free spindle cell lipoma in a young woman

Dear Editor, Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a benign adipocytic neoplasm first characterized by Enzinger and Harvey, classically arising in the posterior neck, shoulder, and upper back of middle-aged to older men. Histologically, it is defined by a variable admixture of mature adip...
