Assessment Approaches for Asymptomatic and Painless Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Scoping Review

This registration documents a scoping review examining assessment approaches for asymptomatic and painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The review aimed to map how asymptomatic, painless, subclinical, sensory-loss, loss-of-protective-sensation, and related clinically silent ne...

Gut–Brain–Skin Axis: From Mechanistic Insights to Translational Applications in Neurocosmetics

The gut–brain–skin axis is a proposed integrative framework describing interactions among the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and nervous system through neural, endocrine, immune, and microbial processes. Accumulating evidence has redefined the skin as a sophisticated neuro-immune-...

Viscoelastic Response of Crosslinked Rubber: Coarse‐Grained Molecular Dynamics and Time‐Temperature Superposition

ABSTRACT The viscoelastic response of crosslinked rubber was investigated using coarse‐grained molecular dynamics simulations combined with time‐temperature superposition. Crosslinked polymer networks containing different numbers of crosslinkers were generated using a dynamic rea...

ARTICLE VII — THE AVICENNA PROTOCOL: Edge-Level Autonomy, Quantum Biological Synchronization, and the Predictive Pacification of Oncological Anomalies

CONTEXT AND RUPTURE: Standard clinical frameworks fundamentally model physiological nodes (human organs) as passive, subordinate architectures and categorize macroscopic colonization (helminthic presence) strictly as localized secondary pathology. This manuscript executes a defin...

Non-Destructive Classification of Ataulfo Mango Ripeness Using Color Images and Machine Learning

Automatic classification of Ataulfo mango (Mangifera indica L.) ripeness is essential to ensure consistent quality, standardize post-harvest processes, and reduce the subjectivity of traditional visual inspection, which is unreliable and error-prone. This paper aims to develop a...

Disease-specific tau polymorphs are associated with unique protein networks across proteinopathies

Abstract Tau protein aggregates adopt distinct conformations across tauopathies, yet the protein interactions engaged by disease-specific polymorphs remain poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that conformationally distinct tau polymorphs associate with disease-specific int...

Giant esophageal schwannoma mimicking a mediastinal tumor: a case report and review of the literature

Introduction: Esophageal schwannomas are rare, benign tumors arising from Schwann cells in the esophageal wall. Giant forms are particularly rare and can resemble mediastinal tumors, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. Case presentation: Herein, we present the case of a 55-y...

Superior Leaf Deposition and Subsequent Uptake: Nanocarrier Boosts Cyproflanilide for Enhanced Pest Control

Abstract Chemical pesticides remain indispensable for crop protection, but inefficient delivery and overapplication lead to resistance and environmental risks. Cyproflanilide is a novel meta-diamide insecticide active against a broad range of agricultural pests. Here, we develope...

A Compact DGS-Assisted Koch-Fractal U-Slot MIMO Antenna for Sub-6 GHz 5G and WLAN Applications

Compact sub-6 GHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas require broad impedance coverage and low inter-port coupling within limited footprints. This work presents a two-port Koch-fractal U-slot antenna with a defected ground structu...

Evaluation of the Electrochemical Performance of MXene-Based Nanocomposites for Supercapacitor Applications

Supercapacitors offer high power density, fast charging/discharging capability, and long cycle life, yet their relatively low energy density limits broader deployment in electric vehicles, portable electronics, and grid storage systems. MXenes, a family of two-dimensional transit...

Next Generation Indoor Airport Wayfinding Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Localization and Pedestrian Physics: A Theoretical Framework

Navigating crowded indoor environments like airport terminals is difficult because satellite GPS signals cannot pass through dense concrete and steel buildings. Additionally, current indoor navigation apps rely on static shortest-path algorithms that ignore real-time crowd conges...

CREM Marks TCR-Driven T-Cell Activation and Associates with Favorable Prognosis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Single-Cell and Bulk Transcriptomic Study

Although papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is widely considered an immunologically cold tumor, detectable T-cell infiltration can influence disease progression in selected patients. Previous bulk analyses have linked cAMP-responsive element modulator (CREM) expression to a favora...

From Host–Guest to Crystal Interactions: Proposing Crystallization Mechanisms for a Novel β-CD/TTA-H Structure and Related Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes

Abstract Cyclodextrin inclusion complexes (ICs) have been extensively studied for their capacity to modulate the physicochemical properties of guest molecules, albeit their solid-state organization has been comparatively less explored. In particular, the relationship between host...

Post-Recurrence Outcomes Associated with a Bevacizumab-Containing First-Recurrence Strategy in Glioblastoma: A Propensity-Weighted Single-Center Cohort Study with Competing-Risk Analysis

Background/Objectives: Bevacizumab is widely used at recurrence in glioblastoma, but comparisons are complicated by multimodal treatment selection and progression assessment. We examined outcomes associated with a bevacizumab-containing first-recurrence strategy and explored the...

Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Automated Insulin Delivery in Infants with Type 1 Diabetes: Real-World Evidence to Support Future International Guidelines

To evaluate efficacy and safety of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID) in infants. A retrospective multicenter study (13 centers) of 76 children diagnosed with antibody-positive type 1 diabetes before age 2. Outcomes at 12 months were compared...

Project CHRONOS: A Fully Homomorphic Ephemeral AI Agent with Provable Self Termination and Remote Verifiability

We present CHRONOS, the first autonomous AI agent that simultaneously achieves plaintextblindness (all data is processed under fully homomorphic encryption without ever beingexposed), cryptographically enforced time bound existence (the agent’s own decryption key islocked behind...

When I Care More Than the Department Does: Research Value (In)Congruence and Faculty Epistemic Exclusion Experiences

Academia values research that is quantitative, generalizable, or viewed as “objective” (centered research values), while research that is qualitative, concerned with marginalized groups, or social justice focused (marginalized research values) is often dismissed as subjective or...

Prediction and Progression Stratification of Type II Endoleak After EVAR Using Clinical, Anatomical, and Ultrasound Parameters

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with type II endoleak (T2EL) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and to stratify sac progression risk in patients with established T2EL using clinical, anatomic, and ultrasound-derived parameters. METHODS: This ambispective cohort s...

Efficacy of Concentrated Growth Factors in Regulating Macrophage Immune Responses and Promoting Wound Healing After Plastic Surgery

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on postoperative wound healing after plastic surgery, and to explore its association with changes in local immune-inflammatory markers and macrophage-related indicators. METHODS: Ninety-six patients wi...

Myoglianin coordinates hormonal and nutrient signaling to control metamorphosis and tissue growth in the fall armyworm

The transition from larval to pupal stage in holometabolous insects is a critical developmental decision regulated by hormonal and nutritional cues. The studies reported here revealed a central role for the TGF-β ligand Myoglianin (Myo) in integrating these signals in a major lep...
