The Impact of Earthquake-Induced Healthcare Disruption on an Established Developmental Hip Dysplasia Screening Program in an Earthquake Zone

Background/Objectives: Pandemics and natural disasters may delay the diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). In this study, we evaluated the effect of 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake-induced healthcare disruption on the DDH screening program. Methods: M...

Objective Evidence for Mind–body Interventions: Selective Modulation of Meridian-wise Bioelectrical Conductance by Yogic Practices

Abstract Introduction: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) describes meridians as channels through which vital energy (Qi) flows, with disturbances in this flow associated with disease. Contemporary research has demonstrated that classical meridian points possess distinctive elect...

Safety and Efficacy of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Posterior Circulation in Latin American and the Caribbean Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in adults with posterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (PCAIS) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAC). Background: While recent studies have shown improved outcomes with EVT in PCAIS, data f...

Between protection and autonomy: a comparative analysis of legal approaches to abortion access for young people

This article analyses national legal frameworks that regulate young people's access to abortion, focusing on how different approaches to decision-making authority can either facilitate or obstruct access to care. It explores how countries that have recently liberalised their abor...

Non-canonical pore architecture underlies constitutive gating of human retinal TRPM1

Transient receptor potential melastatin 1 (TRPM1), a Ca²⁺-permeable nonselective cation channel essential for retinal ON bipolar cell signaling and night vision, and implicated in congenital night blindness, has remained structurally and functionally poorly characterized. Here we...

Atomic-scale engineering of Pt shells on chiral Au nanoparticles for enhanced oxygen reduction

Spin selection in chiral nanocatalysts enabled by the chiral-induced spin polarization (CISS) effect has emerged as a promising strategy for boosting the performance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, achieving atomic-scale control of catalytically active surfaces o...

Combined fibre-optic sensing and nodal recorders for active-source seismic characterization of mine tailings

Abstract As the mining industry shifts toward more responsible and lower-impact practices, mine tailings are increasingly regarded as a secondary resource that can be sourced into the raw-material supply chain. However, limited knowledge of subsurface geometry at many historical...

Co-Benefits of Solar PV Expansion and CCUS Deployment for Carbon and Air-Pollutant Reduction in Guangxi’s Power System: A LEAP-Based Scenario Analysis to 2060

Provincial power systems must decarbonize while sustaining rapid demand growth and improving air quality; yet, few integrated assessments separate the contributions of renewable expansion and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for China’s less-developed regions. We a...

FFT-Based Multiscale Frequency Decomposition for Atmospheric Lidar Attenuated Backscatter Profile Forecasting

Atmospheric light detection and ranging (lidar) measurements of the attenuated backscatter coefficient (ABSC) form high-dimensional vertical profiles that vary across multiple temporal scales. Directly processing the original time-domain sequence with a single prediction structur...

Comparative Flammability and SEM–EDS Characterization of Contemporary, Aged and Charred Oak Wood from Historic Timber Structures

Historic timber combines structural function with heritage value, yet its fire behaviour is inferred from contemporary wood data. This study provides an integrated, condition-based assessment of contemporary oak (Quercus robur L.) and historic oak from a nineteenth-century half-t...

Italian FADN-Based Research: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Directions

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of studies based on the Italian Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) over the period 2015–2026. Following a PRISMA-informed review process, 112 peer-reviewed articles retrieved from Scopus were qualitatively analysed. The revi...

Interim Efficacy Analysis of Different Anticoagulation Regimens in Patients with Long-term Implantation of Inferior Vena Cava Filter

Abstract: To analyze the interim efficacy of different anticoagulation regimens for patients with long-term inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) implantation. From August 2021 to August 2024, a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent long-term IVCF implantation in multiple c...

Exact Enumeration of Free Polyplets in the {4,5} Hyperbolic Tessellation

Exact Enumeration of Free Polyplets in the {4,5} Hyperbolic Tessellation Status: The exact algebraic extension computed by this repository was officially approved and added to OEIS A390200 on June 3, 2026. Goal: Extend OEIS A390200, the number of free n-celled polyplets in the {4...

Why Reflection Should Be Shallow: Contractive Gains, Finite Optimal Depth, and the Rumination Regime — A Cost–Benefit Theory of Iterated Self-Revision, with a Capacity-Gated Crossover

How many times should a system re-read and revise its own answer? Empirical work in the MOBIUS measurement campaign found a consistent answer across thirteen open-weight model capacities: once or twice — never zero above a capacity threshold, never many, and *less than zero* belo...

Phenotypic and Genomic Analysis of Swine-Derived Bacillus subtilis 1BP1Co1 as a Functional Probiotic Candidate to Mitigate Escherichia coli-Associated Diarrhea

Post-weaning diarrhea caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli is a significant economic challenge in global swine production. Rising antimicrobial resistance linked to traditional antibiotics necessitates safe, sustainable alternatives. This study isolated and characterized host-as...

From Data to Decision:A Closed-Loop Framework forCo-Optimizing Energy Recovery and SO2 Control in SludgeGasification

Abstract The rapid expansion of urban wastewater treatment has rendered the sustainable management of sludge a global environmental challenge. Gasification technology is emerging as a promising treatment pathway due to its high conversion efficiency and resource recovery potentia...

A culture collection of bacterial isolates from Lake Erie and Lake Victoria

We present a culture collection of 44 aquatic bacterial cultures isolated from samples collected from Lake Erie's Sandusky and Maumee Bays and Lake Victoria's Winam Gulf. Here, we detail isolation, cryopreservation, and genomic DNA preparation methods and sequences of full-length...

Could this be about the clocks? Rethinking insomnia, sleep bruxism and circadian misalignment

Insomnia symptoms reported in sleep bruxism may partly reflect circadian misalignment rather than insomnia disorder per se, highlighting the need to integrate chronobiological assessment into both bruxism research and clinical practice.

Modification of Surface and Subsurface Properties of Additively Manufactured Inconel 718 Components Through Post-Process and Interlayer Machine Hammer Peening

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables rapid, near-net-shape fabrication with high material efficiency, but the resulting components often exhibit surface roughness, microstructural heterogeneity, and tensile residual stresses that reduce their performance. Machine hammer peening (M...

Intranasal Delivery of Gallium–Quercetin Nanoparticles for Multi‐Target Ferroptosis Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease

ABSTRACT Ferroptosis contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD) through interconnected processes including iron dysregulation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet current therapies targeting single pathways remain insufficient. Herein, we developed gallium–quercetin...
