Open approach septoplasty and closed endonasal septoplasty: a comparative analysis of surgical outcomes, postoperative pain, and quality of life

Abstract Background To compare the surgical outcomes, postoperative pain levels, operative time, and improvements in quality of life between open approach (OAS) and closed endonasal septoplasty (CES) techniques in patients with nasal septum deviation. Methods A prospective compar...

Turkish adaptation of the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT): a validity and reliability study

Abstract Background One of the major challenges in clinical practice in Türkiye is the lack of objective criteria for the early identification of patients requiring palliative care. The Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT™), developed by Murray SA and colleagues...

Lived Experiences of Visitors in Laguna Province: A Phenomenological Study of Tourist Experiences and Cultural Appreciation

This study explored the lived experiences of visitors in Laguna Province, Philippines, focusing on their tourism experiences and cultural appreciation. Specifically, it examined how tourists described their most memorable experiences, the meanings they attached to these encounter...

SRE Dynamics: Rigorous Reconstruction of Maxwell's Field Equations via Purely Dimensionless Graph Cohomology and Global Evolutionary Steps

This paper presents a formal, background‑independent topological reconstruction of Maxwell's field equations entirely decoupled from continuum space‑time manifolds, pre‑imported empirical physical constants, and empirical differential metrics. Grounded in Status‑Relational Entrop...

Multiscale finite element modeling of macro-encapsulated phase-change material in 3D-Printed concrete walls under Riyadh climatic conditions

Phase-change materials (PCMs) are widely used in building systems to control indoor temperature fluctuations and improve energy efficiency. This study conducts a multiscale finite element investigation of the thermal performance of three-dimensional (3D) printed concrete walls in...

SRE Dynamics: A Foundational Reconstruction of Classical Electrodynamics via Discrete Graph Topology and Bidirectional Causality

This paper presents a paradigm shift in fundamental physics, replacing continuum spacetime background, continuous electric charges, and scalar energy fields with Status‑Relational‑Entropy (SRE) Dynamics. Macro‑physical phenomena are mapped onto a discrete graph network of infinit...

Photovoltaic panel failure detection using class-conditioned generative adversarial networks

Abstract Detection of defects and failure in photovoltaic (PV) modules increasingly relies on multi-modal data. Artificial intelligencemodels trained on imaging data can help identifying PV defects and failures. However, the effectiveness of these imaging-baseddiagnostic models i...

pH‐Driven Actuation of Unmodified DNA Origami Rectangles

ABSTRACT DNA origami is a versatile method for constructing molecular machinery, yet many designs rely on responsive motifs or added components to achieve dynamic behavior. Here, we show that unmodified DNA origami rectangles—one of the most widely used DNA origami structures—exh...

Targeting NF-κB Signaling in Preterm Labor: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

Preterm labor is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with inflammation playing a central role in its pathogenesis. This structured literature review summarizes the role of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in term and preterm labor and critical...

Tunnel field-effect transistors exhibiting performance beyond the Boltzmann thermionic limit

The International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) has identified the tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) as the most promising next-generation logic device that enables sustainable downscaling in driving voltage and power consumption. Demonstrating an acceptable sub–Bolt...

Dense and Cold Magnetized Quark Matter: A Review of Magnetic-Field-Independent Regularization and the Medium Separation Scheme

We present a comprehensive review of regularization schemes for magnetized dense quark matter within effective models of quantum chromodynamics, focusing on the Magnetic-Field-Independent Regularization (MFIR) and the Medium Separation Scheme (MSS) at finite chemical potential an...

Comparison of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins in Cancer Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Insights from a Single-Center Experience

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently encountered in patients with cancer and poses challenges for anticoagulant management. The present study was conducted to compare clinical outcomes associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and low-molecular-weight hepar...

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal glycolytic remodeling and ENO1-associated metabolic vulnerability in hepatoblastoma

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common malignant liver tumor in children; however, the contribution of glycolytic metabolic reprogramming to HB development and progression remains incompletely characterized. We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic data...

Erythropoietic protoporphyria life impact and genetic health trajectory (LIGHT) study in Europe: a cross-sectional online questionnaire

Abstract Background Erythropoietic protoporphyria and X-linked protoporphyria (collectively, EPP) are rare inherited metabolic disorders of the heme biosynthetic pathway characterized by severe photosensitivity and painful phototoxic reactions upon sunlight exposure. This study s...

From Seconds to Seasons and Days to Decades: Timescales in Development

Developmental processes unfold across timescales ranging from seconds to decades, yet temporal assumptions often elude direct theoretical scrutiny. This review illustrates that decisions about timescale, including how time is defined, the density and duration of observations, the...

Impact of Movement Amplitude in Dynamic Visual Cues on Motor Imagery Ability and BCI Classification

Motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) is an important research topic in the field of motor function rehabilitation. Although dynamic visual cues can modulate motor imagery (MI) performance, the role of movement amplitude remains underexplored. This study investiga...

Microbiome Dynamics of Camel Meat During Cold Storage Revealed by 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Camel meat is an important red meat source, but culture-independent evidence of its bacterial community during refrigerated storage remains limited. No prior study has applied 16S rRNA sequencing to camel meat under aerobic chilled storage. Samples from three butcher shops were e...

Logrolling affects the relative performance of majority and unanimity rule

Abstract We consider a committee facing binary decisions on a number of proposals. If members vote sincerely and payoffs are symmetrically distributed, we show analytically that simple majority rule is the best q-majority rule in an aggregate or expected payoff sense. We argue th...
