Midventral skin glands secrete odors that mediate social contexts and are commonly found in rodents in the Cricetidae family rather than those in the Muridae family. African spiny mice (Acomys cahirinus) are rodents in the family Muridae known for their remarkable regenerative ab...

Living Labs (LLs) are often described as top-down, formally designed innovation spaces, and literature about LL research highlights scarce reports of LLs in Latin America. However, grassroots territorial-innovation spaces exist in Latin America, and we hypothesized that some of t...

Designing Clinical Evaluation: Moving From Traditional Grading to Competency Determination
Background: Competency-based nursing education requires clinical evaluation approaches that support defensible competency determination. Although existing literature describes assessment tools and psychometric properties, limited guidance exists on designing evaluation systems al...

Point-of-care ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology: latest advancements and evolution
Abstract Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in obstetrics and gynecology has evolved from a pragmatic bedside adjunct into a rapidly expanding clinical, educational and technological field. Since the publication of earlier narrative reviews, the discipline has been reshaped by hand...

Assay-Dependent Variability in HBV DNA Quantification: An Illustrative Case Report
Abstract Introduction Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection affected approximately 254 million people worldwide in 2022 and remains a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Hepatitis Report 2024. Regular mo...

Chronic bronchitis in outpatient practice: unsolved diagnostic problems and therapeutic challenges
Chronic non-obstructive bronchitis (CB) represents an independent clinical condition characterized by high prevalence and a considerable contribution to respiratory morbidity, alongside a significant economic burden. Despite its seemingly benign nature, the management of patients...

Tekmeria: Server-Issued Citation Handles and a Deterministic Audit for Biomedical LLM Answers
Language models that answer biomedical questions with citations can cite papers that do not exist, misquote the ones that do, and cite retracted work. Most checks run after the answer is written and must judge whether an imperfect bibliographic match is the right work. We describ...

By mapping the 240 E8 root vectors onto a harmonic oscillator driven at 132 Hz and imposing a golden‑ratio (φ) modulation on inter‑root spacings, a quasi‑periodic phonon spectrum emerges whose line spacing follows φ‑scaled multiples of the base frequency. This φ‑comb spectrum ove...

ABSTRACT Color matching functions (CMFs) serve as the fundamental basis for deriving tristimulus values and chromaticities, which are essential for color specification, calibration, and reproduction. With the rapid advancement of display technologies, modern commercial devices in...

Analysis of metabolic interactions in an artificial consortium including butyrogenic gut microbes
ABSTRACT Cross-feeding interactions shape gut microbial communities and contribute to the establishment of bacteria associated with beneficial fermentation products such as butyrate. However, many gut microbes involved in fiber degradation and butyrate-associated trophic networks...

Directional Muscle-to-Bone Crosstalk via the Muscle Secretome: A Systematic Review
Skeletal muscle communicates biochemically with bone via a secretome consisting of soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This secretory activity is regulated by mechanical stimuli and the muscle’s metabolic state. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the...

This study presents the design and experimental validation of an embedded edge artificial intelligence (AI) camera system for intelligent vision applications. The developed system integrates a multicore edge computing processor and a dedicated AI engine into a compact smart camer...
- Health & MedicineOpen access
Background: The historical fracture between biomedical positivism and social constructivism has perpetuated an epistemic schizophrenia, reducing the human body either to a molecular machine (Körper) or to a discursive epiphenomenon, thus obscuring the structural roots of illness....

Clinical outcomes of epiretinal membrane surgery in patients with good baseline visual acuity
PURPOSE: For patients with symptomatic epiretinal membrane (ERM), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ERM peel is often performed to improve their distortion. However, there is no clear consensus on visual acuity threshold for performing surgery, nor evidence of potential likelihood...

Advancing Global Short-Term Wildfire Forecasting with Wildfire-Specific Spatiotemporal Deep Learning
Abstract Reliable daily wildfire forecasting is essential for early warning, air-quality management, and reducing smoke-related health exposure. However, global approaches generally emphasize either fire-weather danger or pixel-wise occurrence prediction and do not explicitly rep...
