Wherever the Far Right Lands Electorally, Ideas Cast a Long Shadow
ABSTRACT This piece examines three elements of the British far right today: Restore Britain, Reform UK and far‐right street movements. It examines how each element measures success, arguing that although electoral gains look difficult for Restore and Reform is no longer on track...

Rectal Prolapse Associated With Chronic Ketamine Misuse: A Report of Two Cases
Chronic ketamine misuse is a well-recognized cause of ketamine-induced uropathy (KIU), characterized by severe lower urinary tract symptoms and markedly reduced bladder capacity. Its potential association with anorectal dysfunction remains poorly described. We report two young ad...

The role of mitochondrial fusion protein 2 in regulating ER stress in premature placental aging
Advanced maternal age (AMA) is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, which may be attributed to premature placental aging. Previous studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (Mfn2) plays a critical role in aging-related neurodegenera...

*Stress, H. pylori, and NSAIDs in Peptic Ulcer Pathogenesis*
This research analyzes the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the progression from gastric hypersensitivity to peptic ulcer disease. It focuses on the interplay of three key factors: chronic _Helicobacter pylori_ infection, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, and chro...

Critical neuronal avalanches arise from excitation-inhibition balanced spontaneous activity
Neuronal avalanches are sequences of neural activations exhibiting scale-invariant statistics, indicative of critical dynamics. Theoretical studies proposed that the balance between excitation (E) and inhibition (I), along with neuromodulation, are key factors influencing this cr...
