Pharmacokinetic Variability of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Calcium Channel Blockers: A Comparative Analysis of Exposure Data from Clinical Studies

Background/Objectives: Interindividual pharmacokinetic (PK) variability remains a daunting challenge for effective and safe drug therapy. Despite the widespread use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs), a substantial number of adverse drug rea...

Essential oils: A review of ex vivo studies on aortic smooth muscle contractility

Essential oils, known as volatile oils, are valuable odoriferous substances from plants. The popularity of essential oils has significantly increased due to numerous therapeutic properties, including antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antidyslipidemic, and antiplatelet activities. A...

Proposing a Role for Maternal Positive Empathy in the Caregiving Relationship

ABSTRACT When mothers empathize with their children, they are motivated to respond in an attuned manner that prioritizes their children's well‐being. A substantial body of research links maternal empathy and attuned caregiving to adaptive socioemotional development in young child...

Numerical Investigation of the Thermal Performance of a PCM-Filled Glazing Cavity in a Trombe Wall System

Trombe walls are widely used passive solar heating systems for cold winter climates, but suffer from large diurnal temperature swings and limited heat delivery after sunset. This study numerically investigates replacing the air in the double-glazing gap of a Trombe wall with a ph...

Quality and engagement of Instagram content related to mouthguard use in the prevention of sports-related dental trauma: a cross-sectional content analysis

Social media platforms have become major sources of health-related information, particularly among children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Instagram, one of the most widely used platforms, hosts a large volume of user-generated content on preventive health topics. Mouthguard...

Occurrence and Characterization of Graft-Transmissible Pathogens of Citrus in Orchards and Urban Citrus in Chile with a Focus on the Apscaviroid nanocitri

Apscaviroid nanocitri (citrus dwarfing viroid, CDVd) is a graft-transmissible pathogen that frequently coexists with other citrus viroids and affects tree vigor. This study evaluated the occurrence of citrus viroids in small growers and commercial orchards in Chile and characteri...

The impact of eco-compensation policies on the ecological product value realization rate in compensated areas

Abstract The realization of ecological product value serves as a vital link between socioeconomic development and environmental resources. A high ecological product value realization rate effectively captures the synergy between economic growth and ecological conservation, ultima...

Dystonia 3×3: A Training Guideline for Beginners in Botulinum Neurotoxin Treatment of Cervical Dystonia

Cervical dystonia (CD) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions leading to abnormal postures of the head and neck. The injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) into the muscles involved is the treatment of choice for CD. BoNT-A...

Remote Recruitment to Diversify Infant Research Participation: Lessons From the Infant Vaccine Biepository

AIM: To determine whether remote recruitment, electronic consent and at-home blood collection enabled enrollment of a geographically and socioeconomically diverse infant cohort in the United States (US). METHODS: We describe the demographics of 256 infants included in this analys...

Romantic Attachment and Symptoms of Depression and PTSD Among Incarcerated Men: A Longitudinal Study

Abstract With the rise in incarceration and negative mental health symptomology, the need to identify protective factors that can buffer psychological distress within carceral settings has become increasingly clear. In response to this, there has been growing interest in examinin...

Assignment of 39K NMR signals for potassium–graphite intercalation compound KC8

Abstract Potassium–graphite intercalation compounds (K–GICs) have potential applications in potassium-ion batteries. Although previous research has reported solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on K–GICs, the assignment of their 39K NMR spectra remains unclea...

The interaction between the ERG responses to sinusoidal modulation and flashes in mice

Abstract Purpose To study the interaction between responses to a sinusoidal modulation and a flash in the mouse ERG. Methods We recorded responses to pulses on a 1 Hz sinewave background (Pulse on Sine Stimuli: PoS) in mice. Flashes were presented at 8 different temporal phases r...

Artificial Intelligence Integration in Teacher Education: Institutional Readiness and Curriculum Pathways in a Fourth Industrial Revolution Context

Despite growing global interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, limited empirical research has examined how teacher education institutions in developing-country and resource-constrained contexts can sustainably integrate AI into their curricula. This gap is particul...

Study on the Performance Degradation and Three-Dimensional Pore Structure Evolution of Synchronous Grouting Material for Subsea Shield Tunnels Under Long-Term Natural Seawater Corrosion

The synchronous grouting layer in subsea shield tunnels is continuously exposed to seawater during long-term service. Sustained migration and diffusion of seawater ions can induce deterioration of the pore structure and degradation of mechanical properties, thereby diminishing th...

Pilot evaluation of pathogen isolation using targeted amplicon next-generation sequencing on sonication fluid for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections

Abstract Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains difficult to diagnose due to the limited sensitivity of conventional culture, which frequently yields false-negative results. Targeted amplicon next-generation sequencing (tNGS) offers a method capable of identifyin...
