Anakinra in Severe RSV-Associated Autoinflammatory Encephalopathy With Delayed ADEM-Like Changes

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated encephalopathy is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication in children. Increasing evidence suggests that infection-triggered neuroinflammation rather than direct viral invasion underlies neurologic injury in a subset of pa...

Manual versus robotic-assisted revision total knee arthroplasty for instability

Aims Revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) is a treatment option for failed primary TKA but is associated with higher complication rates and technical challenges. Robotic-assisted rTKA (rarTKA) is an emerging technique that may improve component alignment and surgical precision...

IntrinsicallyStrain-Stiffening, Conductive, ROS-ScavengingPeptide–Polymer Hydrogel to Promote Neurite Outgrowth

Abstract Neurodegenerative disorders pose a major global health challenge due to impaired electrical signaling in nerve fibers, yet effective regenerative therapies remain limited. Here, we report an injectable hydrogel that integrates intrinsic conductivity, antioxidative capaci...

Examining the relationships between time pressure, challenge and hindrance technostressors and work outcomes in online labour markets

Purpose The antecedents and consequences of technostress are well documented. Yet, one aspect of the technostress process that is not well understood is the role of time in shaping perceptions of technostress. This research investigates the relationships between time pressure, te...

Soft Foam Polyurethane Recycling and Foaming in Reactive Extrusion Using Partial Aminolysis and a Latent Cross-Linking Chemistry

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) foams are widely used as thermosets and yet poorly recycled due to their generally cross-linked nature and the difficulty in recovering their isolated monomers from chemical recycling processes. A mechanochemical recycling process was demonstrated in th...

The influence of age on emotion-regulatory strategies, emotional work demands, and health/work outcomes: a systematic PRISMA literature review with narrative synthesis

BACKGROUND: An increasing age of the workforce necessitates a better understanding of age-related differences in emotions at work to inform age-inclusive workplace policies and practices. This review critically evaluates how age relates to emotion-regulatory strategies at work (e...

Integrating obstructive sleep apnea risk assessment with AI-enhanced lung cancer detection from CT imaging: a narrative review

Abstract Background The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging, accumulating evidence linking obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to lung cancer, and the paradigm of opportunistic computed tomography (CT) screening raises the possibility of transforming single-i...

How leadership shapes workplace outcomes for differently-abled employees: a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis

Abstract Leadership constitutes a critical determinant of organizational success, as it facilitates the optimal utilization of organizational resources in the pursuit of institutional mission and vision. Differently-abled employees represent a valuable segment of the workforce an...

Telemedicine Use in Primary Care for Children: 2019–2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We lack national data on the maturing clinical use of telemedicine (TM) in children’s primary care. This manuscript describes patterns of TM use for problem-based visits overall, across clinical domains, and associations of use with clinic visit volume....

Deubiquitinase USP7 stabilizes the histone demethylase KDM5B and promotes the progression of renal fibrosis through the TSC1/mTOR axis

Abstract Ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) is a deubiquitinase that plays critical regulatory roles in multiple signaling pathways by preventing the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of its substrates. Dysregulated expression of USP7 is implicated in tumor progression; however, i...

Yield-aware generative inverse design of anti-reflection coatings via optimal-transport flow matching with a conditional-value-at-risk objective

Abstract Robustness to deposition error is conventionally treated as a post-hoc Monte-Carlo check in multilayer anti-reflection (AR) coating design: a nominally optimal stack is found first, and its manufacturing tolerance is assessed afterwards. We move robustness directly into...

The Relationship Between Wu 無 and Dao 道 in the Daodejing 道德經: Beyond Nothingness in a Decolonial Direction

Abstract This article examines the relationship between wu 無 and dao 道 in the Daodejing 道德經 to explore its resonances with decolonial thought––understood here first as the dismantling of colonial impositions within the philosophical imaginary, and subsequently as a resource...

Real-time invasion dynamics reveal the drivers of predator spread and prey extirpation on an island

Abstract Non-native predators profoundly restructure island biological communities worldwide, yet their management is hindered by limited empirical understanding of the dynamics of predator spread and prey extirpation. Here, we integrate two decades of field surveys, citizen-scie...

Identification of a pathogenic fungus from naturally diseased Bidens pilosa

A pathogenic fungal strain was isolated from naturally diseased B. pilosa leaves collected in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, China. The strain was identified as Pilidium acerinum based on morphological characteristics and ITS rDNA sequence analysis. The ITS sequence was extracted f...

Discovery of antibacterial and antifungal peptides in the pig microbiome

Novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) needed to combat bacterial and fungal diseases as well as emerging antibacterial and antifungal drug resistance. Characterization of the structural and functional features of the pig gut microbiota improves our understanding of small open readi...

A comparative evaluation of deep learning architectures, loss functions, and ensemble strategies for underwater fish species classification

Abstract The accurate classification of underwater fish species is important for biodiver-sity monitoring, sustainable fisheries management, and aquaculture. However, underwater fish classification remains challenging due to class imbalance, varying imaging conditions, and high v...

Qudit W and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states on a two-photon chip

Abstract High-dimensional quantum entangled states exhibit unique properties. While generalizations like qudit Bell, Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ), and Cluster states have been studied, the qudit W states remain underexplored. We discover that a superposition of qudit Dicke s...
