Patient-reported outcomes of symptom burden and quality of life in patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia in Korea

This cross-sectional survey aimed to identify factors affecting quality of life (QoL) in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Participants comprised 189 patients with PV or ET receiving outpatient treatment in Seoul. Data were collected using a...

Animal-Assisted Therapy in Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Outcomes

Background/Objectives: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are common and represent major drivers of caregiver burden and healthcare utilization. Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is used as a non-pharmacological intervention in dementia care, yet quantitative ev...

Quantum Mechanics as Substrate Vibration

Standard quantum mechanics works. Its predictions are accurate to more decimal places than almost any other physical theory, and the mathematical formalism, Hilbert spaces, operators, Born rule, Schrödinger evolution, is clean and internally consistent. The problem is not the mat...

Boundary Spanning at Major Soccer Events: The Roles and Competences of Safety and Security Officers

This article is about the day-to-day boundary-spanning activities of safety & security officers (SSOs) employed by professional soccer organizations in the Netherlands. Drawing on Williams, we examined how SSOs perform their roles as reticulists, communicators, entrepreneurs, and...

We Should Be Planning for a World Without Jobs — Not Just Fearing It: From a Work-Based Society to a Purposeful One

This article proposes a framework for a post-work "purposeful society" enabled by AI, robotics, and automation — where labor becomes optional rather than mandatory, funded through a non-transferable monthly credit system rather than traditional wages. It addresses the central obj...

Advanced hyperspectral snow and glacier classification using fully connected autoencoders

The accurate classification of snow and glacier surface features is essential for glacier monitoring, mass balance estimation, melt-runoff modeling, and climate impact assessment in high-mountain regions. Hyperspectral imagery provides rich spectral information that enables fine...

Liquidity Power or Liquidity Trap? Governance, Institutional Quality, and the Value of Corporate Cash Holdings

Corporate cash holdings provide firms with financial flexibility, yet their economic value depends on the conditions under which liquidity is accumulated and deployed. This study examines how financial risk, corporate governance, and institutional quality jointly shape corporate...

Cross-Round Aggregation in Interactive Whole-Body PET/CT Lesion Segmentation: a Training-Free Study Alongside a Baseline Submission to autoPET V

autoPET V scores interactive whole-body PET/CT lesion segmentationby the area under the Dice-versus-interaction-round curve, so thetrajectory across rounds matters as much as the final state. Wesubmit the organisers’ nnU-Net interactive baseline withoutmodification, and report al...

Dietary protein density, cholesterol, egg consumption and mortality in US adults with type 2 diabetes

Dietary management constitutes a fundamental component of type 2 diabetes (T2D) care. However, the long-term associations of dietary protein, cholesterol, and egg intake with mortality outcomes in the T2D population remain controversial and inconsistent. This study aimed to inves...

Immersive virtual reality for practical clinical skills training in undergraduate medical education: a systematic review

Fully immersive virtual reality (VR) delivered through head-mounted displays is increasingly used for practical clinical skills training in undergraduate medical education, but the certainty of its educational effectiveness remains unclear. This systematic review evaluated its ef...

A Frequency-Domain Method for Determining Joint Stiffness in a Rock Mass Using Stress Wave Response

Abstract Accurate determination of joint stiffness is crucial for evaluating the deformation and stability of rock mass in geotechnical engineering. This study proposes a novel method for determining joint stiffness by analyzing the frequency characteristics of the stress wave. P...

Neural Network Driven by Electrochemical Performance Data for Predicting the Discharge Termination Time of Seawater Electrolyte-Based Metal-Air Batteries

Seawater electrolyte-based metal-air batteries exhibit great promise for marine energy supply systems. However, conventional statistical analysis methods, though applicable to seawater metal-air battery lifetime prediction, have inherent limitations of insufficient prediction acc...

A nicotinic-dopaminergic hybrid probe enhances D2-like autoreceptor-mediated inhibition of dopamine release

β2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and dopamine D 2 receptors (D 2 Rs) cooperate to shape striatal dopamine (DA) output, yet the mechanisms by which nicotinic-dopaminergic crosstalk influences D 2 -like autoreceptor-mediated inhibition of DA release remain u...

Basolateral transport of the fluorescent organic cation tetramethylammonium by insect renal tubules

Organic cations (OCs) include a diverse class of endogenous metabolites and xenobiotics whose excretion is essential for animal homeostasis. The vast majority of insects the Malpighian tubules (MTs), hindgut and midgut serve as the primary epithelial organs responsible for OC exc...
