Myasthenia gravis complicated by myocarditis associated with anti-titin and anti-VGKC antibodies: a case report

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular junction disorder primarily affecting skeletal muscles. Although myocardial involvement is rare, MG-associated myocarditis can be life-threatening and may be overlooked because symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue overlap with...

Integrated Metagenomic and Untargeted Metabolomic Analyses Characterize Enramycin-Associated Colonic Microbial and Metabolic Changes in Weaned Rabbits

Enramycin is used as a dietary antimicrobial in young animals, but its effects on rabbit colonic ecology remain insufficiently characterized. This study evaluated the effects of enramycin in 60 weaned rabbits randomly assigned to a control or enramycin-treated group (60 mg/kg) fo...

‘My dog is my life’: One Health approaches to healthcare for people and their companion animals experiencing homelessness in the United Kingdom

Around one in ten people seeking shelter from homelessness in the United Kingdom have a companion animal, most commonly a dog. Dog ownership when homeless can pose a barrier to accessing healthcare and accommodation, and may force individuals to sleep on the streets. People exper...

Anti-MDA5-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis with secondary invasive pulmonary Aspergillus flavus infection after aggressive immunosuppressive therapy: a case report

Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) positive rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a life-threatening condition. Prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy is crucial for improving outcom...

THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF AGNIKARMA WITH GUD DAGDHA IN FROZEN SHOULDER – A SINGLE CASE STUDY

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition marked by stiffness and restricted shoulder movement. It can be correlated with the Avabahuka in Ayurveda. Agnikarma (therapeutic cauterization), using Gud (jaggery) as a medium, presents a safe and effect...

Utilization of Guarana Agroindustrial Waste as a Source of Antimicrobial Compounds for Human Pathogenic Bacterial Removal in Wastewater Sample

The guarana seed peel (GSP), an agroindustrial waste, was characterized for its chemical composition and evaluated for its antimicrobial activity as a potential source of antibacterial compounds for wastewater disinfection using UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis. UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis of GSP...

Workforce development experiences among older youth and young adults with foster care experience: A qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis

Approximately 19,000 young people age out of foster care annually without achieving permanency in the United States. Young people with foster care experience face disproportionately high rates of unemployment and underemployment, creating barriers to achieving self-sufficiency. U...

Survival of adolescent and young adult cancer patients in North Malabar: A hospital-based cancer registry data

Objectives: Cancer burden varies by age group. Most cancers affect older adults, including cancers of the colorectum, breast, lung, and prostate. The incidence and patterns of this disease in adolescents and young adults are poorly understood and rarely reported in the literature...

Establishment of Reference Values for Selected Spatiotemporal and Kinematic Running Parameters in Healthy Adult Recreational Runners from Barranquilla, Colombia

Background and Objectives: Running-related musculoskeletal injuries remain highly prevalent among recreational runners, and the absence of population-specific biomechanical reference values limits clinical and sports interpretation in Latin American populations. This study aimed...

Associations of Green Space and Air Pollution Mixture with Heterogeneous Biological Aging Patterns

Abstract Evidence on associations between green space, air pollution mixture, and heterogeneous biological aging patterns remains limited. We investigated the opposing effects of green space and air pollution mixture on biological aging patterns using an accelerated longitudinal...

Initial Z-Drug Prescription Duration and Long-Term Use

This cohort study evaluates the association between the days’ supply of an initial Z-drug prescription and subsequent long-term use.

Fractionated Ablative Laser-Assisted Methyl Aminolevulinate Photodynamic Therapy with 532-nm KTP Activation for Multiple Basal Cell Carcinomas in Gorlin Syndrome: A Case Report

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in Gorlin syndrome are often numerous, recurrent, and difficult to manage with repeated surgery because cumulative procedures may produce substantial morbidity, scarring, and disfigurement. Methyl aminolevulinate photodynamic therapy (MAL-PDT) is an e...

Minimally invasive cardiac surgeries in 2023–annual report of the Japanese association for minimally invasive cardiac surgery

Abstract Objective To establish updated nationwide perioperative benchmarks for minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) in Japan by presenting the 2023 annual report and summarizing procedural trends from 2021 to 2023. Methods Data on mitral valve (MV) surgery, aortic valve rep...

Geometric Standard Model: Part VI. Higgs Vacuum Elasticity, Isometric Rigidity, and the Manifold Rupture Threshold

In the constrained 3+1+2 multitemporal framework, the Higgs boson is not treated as an independent scalar particle, but as the macroscopic yield strength of the vacuum constraint field itself. Under the principle of Local Time Freezing, topological knots act as absolute rigid bod...

Frugal culture and sustainable performance in small and medium enterprises: The role of human resource appraisal and innovative behavior

Abstract In view of the growing emphasis on purpose‐driven strategies and the scarcity of studies on their relationship with organizational outcomes, the present study aims to investigate the neglected impact of culture on a company's sustainable performance. In particular, it in...

Metabolic and Physiological Associations with LMD-Based Enteric CH4 Concentration in Early Lactation Dairy Cows: A Multivariate Approach with Parity-Specific Insights

Understanding cow-level factors associated with enteric methane (CH4) is important for precision-based methane mitigation in dairy systems. This study evaluated associations between laser methane detector (LMD)-based CH4 concentration, relative CH4 concentration-based indices, bi...

ABSTRACT In many public self‐segregating/segregated Black spaces—cookouts, family reunions, wedding receptions, fraternity and sorority gatherings, birthday parties, HBCU and Divine 9 professional conferences, some workplaces, and even cruises—803Fresh's 2024 “Boots on the Ground...

Temporal, Spatial, and Environmental Variation in Virus-like Particle Abundance in the Northwestern Arabian Gulf

Marine viruses are important components of microbial communities and influence their structure and dynamics, yet their variability remains poorly documented in the northwestern Arabian Gulf. Virus-like particle (VLP) abundance was monitored over four years at three coastal sites...

Topological Cloaking Device based on Rough Operator Algebra and Seonggil Tensor Calculus

This paper presents a novel topological cloaking mechanism that transcends the limitations of conventional metamaterials by integrating Rough Operator Algebra (ROA) and Seonggil Tensor Calculus (STCT). By manipulating dynamic refractive index manifolds and collapsing the scatteri...

Targeting Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels: Discovery of a Multi-Pest Insecticidal Activity Compound with Negative Cross-Resistance to Pyrethroid Resistance

Abstract The resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is becoming increasingly severe, while the number of insecticides with negative cross-resistance (NCR) remains extremely limited. Thus, the development of novel targets and candidate compounds is urgently required. To exploit NCR...
