Accuracy of PSI-based hybrid workflow using a temporary intermediate splint versus conventional splint-based maxillary positioning in orthognathic surgery: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background This retrospective cohort study, adhering to STROBE guidelines, compared the accuracy of maxillary positioning achieved with a patient-specific implant (PSI)-based hybrid workflow, which utilised a temporary intermediate splint to identify and remove posterior...

All-degree polynomial first-integral rigidity on a Darboux locus of a Chazy-type family

We study polynomial first integrals of the two-parameter third-order family $p'''+p p''+(b+1)(p')^2+(q p^2+e)p'=0,\qquad e\in\C^\times.$ After the polynomial change of variables \(y=p'\), \(w=p''+p p'\), the associated three-dimensional vector field contains a distinguished Darbo...

Trends in Pathogens Causing Late-Onset Sepsis in Very Preterm Infants: 2010–2023

OBJECTIVE To examine long-term trends in overall and pathogen-specific late-onset sepsis (LOS) incidence among very preterm infants (VPIs) in a statewide, population-based network. METHODS We analyzed data for infants born at 22 to 31 weeks’ gestation in the California Perinatal...

Ricardian Framework in single-crop modelling for climatic impact assessment: A discrete choice approach of adaptation behaviours for tea economy in India

This paper adopts a two-stage framework by extending the Ricardian approach towards single crop modelling to understand the climatic impact on India's tea plantation sector and evaluate the economic effectiveness of farmer adaptation. The first stage employs a multinomial logit m...

Beyond pedal kickback: analysis and categorization of crank torque in downhill mountain biking

Abstract The interaction of contact forces between the rider and the bicycle, particularly at the feet and hands, is crucial for the riding experience and safety during standing descents in downhill mountain biking. While numerous technical solutions have been developed to mitiga...

‘No, it is a virus, your body will fight it.’ The value of diagnostic testing for managing respiratory viruses in primary care: an observational study from a post-COVID pilot programme

Introduction International studies suggest that advancing diagnostic technologies have the potential to reduce uncertainty and improve management of acute respiratory infections. Aim This study aimed to observe the impact that laboratory-based polymerase chain reaction testing fo...

A novel combinatorial therapeutic strategy using resveratrol and viral oncolysis for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: an in vitro study

Abstract Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors, specifically Diffuse Midline Gliomas (DMG) are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children presenting an unmet need for novel therapeutic development. In this study, we assessed the combined effects of resveratrol (...

Generative and Braid-Based Unification of Magnetic Topology via the Pivot–Null–Braid Architecture

This work presents a generative, braid-based unification of magnetic topology using the pivot–null–braid architecture, showing how helical, frustrated, and skyrmionic structures arise from a single nonlinear sequence governing winding, boundaries, and causal spin organization.

A study of fingerprint ridge density amongst young adults of north India– sexual dimorphism and forensic aspects

Abstract Background Fingerprint analysis constitutes a fundamental component of forensic investigation. Friction skin ridges are highly reliable for human identification because they are distinctive and permanent, making them helpful in criminal investigations for identifying sus...

Oral health behaviours and shift work barriers among Hungarian EMS personnel: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Shift-working emergency medical services (EMS) personnel face structural barriers to preventive oral care, yet national workforce data remain scarce. Objective To estimate prevalence of oral symptoms, behaviours, dental attendance, and psychosocial OHRQoL impa...

Early childhood exposure to commercial snack foods and sugar-sweetened beverages and implications for appropriate complementary feeding in Ibadan, Nigeria: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Commercially produced snack foods and sugar-sweetened beverages are typically energy-dense and nutrient-poor and may displace more nutrient-dense foods during the complementary feeding period. Their growing availability reflects broader dietary shifts associat...

KHALL KII™: The Universal Voice of Intelligence and Value

The convergence of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and blockchain has created a communication crisis: professionals must navigate fragmented applications, wallets, agents, and protocols to accomplish what should be a single action. KHALL KII™ introduces a voice-first com...

The Third Symbolic Power of a Co-Chordal Edge Ideal Is Componentwise Linear

Let G be a finite co-chordal graph and let I(G) be its edge ideal over an arbitrary field. Recent degree bounds leave exactly the degree-five component of the third symbolic power undecided. This preprint proves that the remaining component always has a five-linear resolution and...

Logarithmic Anti-Screening Modulations and the Emergence of Asymptotic Freedom Natively Within the Dewhirst Operator

This monograph adapts the density-dependent screening loop of the Dewhirst Horizon Relation to evaluate the strong nuclear interaction at subatomic scales. Traditional Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) explains asymptotic freedom and quark confinement through complex non-Abelian gluon...

A mathematical framework for the design of scaled experiments featuring turbulence

Abstract Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon that is prevalent in fluid flows and many practical engineering machines and equipment. It manifests in relatively low viscous fluids being the result of an excess of momentum in part of the flow, overcoming viscous forces, leading t...

Theory of Coupled Entity Life: Redefining Life via Functional Coupling and Spatial Securing by Code and Execution Substrates

[Abstract]Conventional biology and cognitive science have long regarded a single living organism—characterized by its own metabolic system and an independent physical body—as the sole paradigm of life. Under this traditional framework, however, it is impossible to integrally expl...

The Third Symbolic Power of a Co-Chordal Edge Ideal Is Componentwise Linear

Let G be a finite co-chordal graph and let I(G) be its edge ideal over an arbitrary field. Recent degree bounds leave exactly the degree-five component of the third symbolic power undecided. This preprint proves that the remaining component always has a five-linear resolution and...

Elevated water temperatures enhance 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene induced stress response of carbonyl reductase in blue mussels (Mytilus edulis): Another environmental impact of climate change?

Abstract Toxic explosives leaking from submerged munitions appear as an emerging marine pollutant in recent years. The nitroaromatic compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is of particular interest in this context. TNT poses a threat to marine environments and organisms. Previous s...
