Mapping basal ganglia circuitry in altered states of consciousness: from pathology to pharmacology
The precise neuromodulatory mechanisms underlying consciousness and its disorders, despite growing evidence in both animals and humans, remain poorly understood at the subcortical level. The basal ganglia, a key component of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop, are kn...

An unexpected pleomorph: a case report of a rare back lipoma in a female
Pleomorphic lipomas are rare, benign adipocytic neoplasms most commonly arising in the subcutaneous tissues of the posterior neck, upper back, and shoulders. They show a strong predilection for middle-aged to elderly men; however, occasional cases have been reported in women and...

Community metabolism in dynamic redox landscapes
Microbial communities are fundamentally shaped by the diverse metabolic processes through which microbes extract energy from the chemical and light-driven potential gradients in their environment. Thus, predicting microbial community dynamics requires a quantitative framework gro...

Observed CTIT onset timing is associated with platelet surveillance schedules in a real-world cohort
Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CTIT) is detected through platelet testing, so routine-care estimates of onset and recovery may depend on surveillance schedules. We characterized within-cycle timing and assessed whether apparent differences among drug categories persisted...

Triaxial Compressive Properties of Graphene Oxide-Modified Concrete
Thirty specimens of graphene oxide-modified concrete (GOMC) were prepared with curing age, graphene oxide (GO) dosage, and lateral confining pressure as the test variables. Complete stress–strain curves under triaxial compression were obtained, elucidating the failure mechanism a...

Systemic influences on orthodontic tooth movement: mechanisms and clinical implications
Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a complex biological process involving bone remodeling, which can be significantly affected by systemic diseases and systemic factors. This review comprehensively examines how systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction,...
