Allostatic load (AL), a composite measure of multisystem dysregulation associated with chronic stress, has been linked to lung cancer risk. However, its joint effects with genetic susceptibility and the biological pathways underlying this relationship remain unclear. We conducted...

In clinical practice, the differential diagnosis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains challenging. Differences in the serum proteomic profiles of patients with asthma and COPD may serve as a basis for identifying disease-specific markers. Objective....

Renewable power generation plays a central role in the transition toward sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. However, selecting an appropriate technology remains challenging because technical, economic, environmental, and operational criteria may conflict, while expert judgme...

Abstract Pathogen-induced disease causes heavy post-harvest losses and threatens food safety, yet routine inspection rarely identifies an infection before it becomes visible. This study evaluates multimodal sensing, threshold-based early warning and plasma-based decontamination f...
- Society & EconomicsOpen access
Abstract In this paper, we introduce an annotation scheme for other-addressed complaints, listing and exemplifying the most important parameters that emerged from our analysis of three datasets: historical correspondence data (seventeenth to nineteenth century), present-day e-mai...

Breast cancer burden risk attribution and productivity loss in Chinese women aged 25 to 49
Breast cancer among Chinese women aged 25–49 years has substantial clinical and societal consequences. We integrated Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 estimates for 1990–2023 with Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2022, United Nations population projections, International La...

Fenestrated Microneedle Biosensor for Continuous In Vivo Lactate Monitoring in Interstitial Fluid
ABSTRACT Lactate is a key biomarker of tissue metabolism and oxygenation, yet clinical assessment still relies on intermittent blood tests that overlook rapid metabolic dynamics and disrupt clinical workflows. Continuous transdermal monitoring of lactate in interstitial fluid (IS...

ABSTRACT Small inspection robots are highly desirable for detecting damage within confined spaces. By vibrating a disk on a surface, a thin air layer with negative pressure—known as acoustic adhesion—is generated, which offers a strategy for creating compact yet strongly climbing...

Why Anthropologists Should Study Dogs
While primates have traditionally been a focus of evolutionary anthropologists, the domestic dog represents a valuable complementary model due to its long shared evolutionary history with humans. The advantages of studying dogs are particularly evident in four key areas: (1) anal...

Neutrino Flavors on the Helix: Neutrino oscillation and the Dirac CP phase in the Euler lens
Neutrino flavour oscillation is written in the language of the Euler circle. Each mass eigenstate is a unit-modulus phasor whose time derivative is the phasor turned through a right angle, ψ′ = −iEψ; lifted along a time axis the phasor becomes a helix, and the three eigenstates b...

African American (AA) men experience disproportionately high prostate cancer incidence and mortality. Despite this disparity, current genomic repositories are predominantly derived from European populations, and studies using archived tissues are often limited by stromal contamin...

Objective Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and trichoblastoma/trichoepithelioma (TB/TE) are skin tumors that may exhibit similar histopathological features. This study aimed to examine the immunoreactivity of suprabasin (SBSN), isthmin-1 (ISM-1), and podocalyxin (PODXL) BCC and TB/TE,...

Eccentric payloads redistribute wheel loads and change the forces and moments required to maneuver heavy mobile robots. This study combines torque-based center-of-mass (CoM) estimation with global and local motion planning. During aligned, quasi-static creep, normalized wheel tor...

The effect of social robot authority on epistemic vigilance in early childhood
Social robots are increasingly deployed as tutors and learning partners, yet their authority cues may discourage children from questioning or verifying information. We investigated whether robot authority influences Chinese children’s epistemic vigilance and which source of autho...

Awareness of Community Members in Sudan Toward Stroke in 2024
ABSTRACT Background Sudan ranks 27th globally in stroke‐related deaths, with an age‐adjusted death rate of 136.47 per 100,000 people. Adequate knowledge among the population, particularly during times of conflict, can improve stroke outcomes. Objectives To assess the Sudanese pop...
