Updated Practice Patterns for Adjuvant Treatment of Recurrent Laryngeal Papillomatosis

OBJECTIVES: Adjuvant medical treatments are used to reduce recurrence rates of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Prior consensus statements on initiation of adjuvants may not reflect current practices, particularly given safety data published in the interval. The object...

ARTICLE 8. MEMORY THEORY: ABIOGENESIS – HOW THE FIRST CELLS WERE CREATED

According to the Non-Information Theory of Life (NJT), life is defined as the ability of a supramolecular ensemble to maintain its identity in a continuous exchange of matter and energy. Previous works in the series described the physical mechanisms of recording (tetrasignatures...

LAB #1093 PROMISING: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION — improves win rate from 31.7% to 44.2% ( — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Quarterly phase = ACCUMULATION — improves win rate from 31.7% to 44.2% (+12.5pp, n=120) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying the ACCUMULATION phase filter would have excluded all trades opened outside t...

Conditional Viability of Refurbished EV/PHEV Batteries: A Risk-Informed Decision Framework for Circular Pathway Selection

End-of-life electric-vehicle and plug-in hybrid (EV/PHEV) battery packs pose a recurrent decision: refurbish, redeploy in second-life storage, recycle, or reject. Technical condition, safety, economics, regulation, traceability, and environmental benefit interact, making pathway...

A Modular Desert Archipelago Architecture for Integrated Solar-Driven Water Production, Thermal Management, Agriculture, and Resource Recovery: A Concept Paper

This concept paper proposes a modular, distributed desert architecture for integrated freshwater production, thermal management, agriculture, and resource recovery. The system is organized as an artificial functional archipelago of physically separated units rather than a single...

ROS-Responsive, Water–Oil Biphasic Hydrogel-Based Separable Microneedle System for Intra-Articular Delivery in Osteoarthritis Therapy

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by a chronic inflammatory microenvironment with excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and progressive cartilage degeneration. To address these challenges, we developed a ROS-responsive, water–oil biphasic separable microneedle patch...

“Don’t Hesitate to Take Decisions Against France and the UN”: A Content Analysis of Anti-French Sentiment in Local Côte d'Ivoire Newspapers

This study is a content analysis of five local newspapers published during Côte d'Ivoire’s national election crisis in 2010–2011, where journalists working in the partisan press wrote about France’s ongoing military interventions in the presidential crisis. I examine how the role...

Initiation or continuation of oral labetalol versus extended‐release nifedipine in expectant management of preeclampsia with severe features

Abstract Introduction Preeclampsia with severe features remains a major contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity. In select patients <34 weeks, expectant management may safely prolong pregnancy and improve neonatal outcomes. Oral labetalol and extended‐release nifedipine...

Accelerating SMAUG‐T using the number theoretic transform on modern high‐end CPUs

Abstract We enhance the performance of SMAUG‐T, the winning algorithm of South Korea's Post‐Quantum Cryptography competition, by applying an NTT‐friendly ring homomorphism tailored to x86/64 and AVX2/AVX‐512. This paper makes two main contributions: (i) We integrate the NTT into...

Electromagnetism, Gravity, and Inertia in One Medium

Preprint — not peer reviewed. Two companion papers began from a single continuous medium carrying a complex deformation field Ψ = A·e^(iΘ), calibrated two quantities — the speed of light and the electron mass — and obtained the electron as a topological defect, then the pion and...

Assessment of Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System in Terms of Documentation and Reporting Mechanisms

Abstract Background: The adverse events following immunization (AEFI) surveillance programme in India was initially launched in 1986; however, reporting remained sporadic and systematic efforts to streamline the process began only in 2005 with the introduction of the first Operat...

Delineating Urban Growth Boundary Using Remote Sensing and Cellular Automata–Neural Network (CA-ANN) Model: A Case Study of Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Rapid and unplanned urbanization in Dhaka is reshaping land use, intensifying peripheral expansion, and increasing pressure on urban and ecological resources. Understanding these growth dynamics is essential for effective urban growth boundary delineation and sustainable planning...

The Role of Ankyloglossia as a Protective Factor in Management of Infants With Robin Sequence

OBJECTIVE: Robin sequence (RS) is an anomaly of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction. This study aims to assess the role of ankyloglossia as a protective factor in infants with RS. STUDY DESIGN: Single institution and population-based inpatient registry analysis. SE...

Unnatural Sexual Offenses and Indian Laws: Historical Context, Current Position, and Future Outlook

Historically, the colonial origin of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) became the question of intense legal and social dispute as it criminalized not only non-consensual but also consensual carnal intercourse applicable to everyone irrespective of gender. Indian legislat...

Integrated morphological, phenolic, and transcript profiling reveals responses associated with colchicine-induced tetraploidy in Viola odorata L.

Viola odorata L. (sweet violet) is an ornamental and medicinal species valued for its attractive flowers and diverse phenolic constituents. Although colchicine-induced polyploidization has been widely employed to improve ornamental and medicinal plants, the molecular responses as...

Tracking air volumes for assessing the effect of urban aerosols on convective precipitation: a multi-member modeling study

Abstract. Urban emissions impact aerosol–cloud interactions and thereby modify precipitation patterns, yet whether realistic emission perturbations from a mid-sized European city produce detectable effects above internal meteorological variability in a high-background aerosol env...

The Quantum Consensus Principle: A Thermodynamic Information Principle for Quantum Measurement

We introduce the Quantum Consensus Principle (QCP), a first-principles framework that provides a dynamical derivation of quantum measurement within standard open-system quantum mechanics, without modifying the Schrödinger equation. By treating the system–apparatus–environment com...

From Product Disclosure to Brand Trust: How Voluntary Negative-Attribute Disclosure Shapes Cross-Product Responses in Digital Food Interfaces

Digital food interfaces increasingly enable brands to foreground decision-relevant information at the point of choice, including attributes that may disadvantage a focal product. This emerging practice raises a counterintuitive question: can voluntarily revealing a negative attri...

Use and perceptions of Artificial Intelligence among adolescents in Bradford, England: Evidence from Born in Bradford: Age of Wonder

<ns5:p>Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are increasingly used by adolescents in academic contexts, yet population-level evidence from community samples remains limited, particularly among under-represented populations. We described quantitative data collected in t...

Pre-service sex education training and teaching practices among special education teachers: a cross-sectional survey

This study aimed to determine the current status of school-based sex education for children with disabilities (SECD) in Sichuan Province and to examine the association between pre-service sex education learning experience and SECD practice. A stratified random cluster sampling wa...
