Prevalence of stigmatizing language in outpatient primary care medical records of middle and older aged adults: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Objective To examine prevalence of stigmatizing language (SL) in outpatient primary care clinical notes of middle and older age adults and examine its associated sociodemographic and clinical factors. Materials We conducted a retrospective analysis of free-text notes fro...

Advancing nanomaterials for treatment of eye diseases: a review

Ocular diseases involving both the anterior and posterior segments-such as dry eye disease, keratitis, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and ocular tumors-remain major contributors to global visual impairment. Conventional topical and systemic the...

Conservation of Quantum Information in Gapped Baths: The Duality-Depleted Regime

In a bath with a hard gap, dephasing does not destroy quantum information. We demonstrate that the tripartite complementarity relation P² + V² + C² = 1 acts as a strict conservation law. For a central spin with conserved populations (P = 0), the local interference visibility V an...

Spontaneous isolated mesenteric fibromatosis complicated by small bowel perforation: a case report and literature review

Mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) is a mesenteric form of desmoid-type fibromatosis, a locally aggressive fibroblastic neoplasm without metastatic potential. Sporadic isolated MF presenting with acute small bowel perforation is exceptionally rare and poses significant diagnostic chall...

Bats, wild rodents, and marsupials as ecosentinels of antimicrobial resistance: a systematized narrative review of resistance genes, mobile genetic elements, and One Health implications

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major One Health challenge, yet wildlife remains underrepresented in surveillance systems. This systematized narrative review synthesized studies published between 2011 and 2025 on antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in bats, wild rodents...

Sharp Interpolation for Equidegree Hilbert–Burch Curves

Let H(t,a) be the Hilbert component of curves in projective three-space defined by the maximal minors of a (t+1)-by-t matrix of degree-a forms, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that its interpolation number is t(t+1)(binom(a+3,3)-2)/2, exactly h...

Multi-objective optimization of an immersion hybrid preheating system for large-capacity lithium-ion batteries at low temperatures

Low-temperature thermal management, which relies on high-efficiency preheating techniques to avoid performance attenuation and safety risks, is a critical bottleneck for the commercial application and stable operation of large-capacity lithium-ion battery energy storage systems....

Insights into morbidity and mortality in Gaucher disease: a cohort study

Background Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare lysosomal disorder classified, on the basis of neurological involvement, into type 1 (GD1, non-neuronopathic) and types 2 (GD2) and 3 (GD3) (neuronopathic). Data on morbidity and mortality in Latin American cohorts remain scarce. Aims To...

When does an oscillation count as a return? Entropy budgets in an isolated thermomechanical model

Preprint (version 1.0), not peer reviewed. Repeated crossings of a coordinate can conceal irreversible changes in the rest of a system. We develop an upper-undergraduate computational activity that distinguishes crossings, finite-amplitude returns and recurrence of the complete t...

Buckling behavior and interpretable machine-learning of CFRP-strengthened circular steel tubes under axial compression

This study develops a physics-informed and interpretable data-driven framework for predicting the axial buckling capacity of circular steel tubes strengthened with longitudinal CFRP strips. A validated finite element (FE) model against test results was used to generate 196 parame...

Vomiting-induced bilateral pneumothorax in a patient with MEN1-associated Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

Abstract Background Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant tumor syndrome characterized by involvement of the parathyroid glands, pancreas, and pituitary gland. Pulmonary manifestations of MEN1 are uncommon. We report a patient with MEN1 who developed...

E8 Resonant Dark Matter Halo Geometry from Triadic Root Sector Phase — E8 Intelligence Research

By treating the three Galois-conjugate 80-root sectors of E8 as phase-locked oscillators at the 132Hz phi³ base, their mutual interference pattern generates a discrete standing-wave lattice whose nodes define a spherical harmonics expansion of order 8. This lattice predicts a dar...

Microplastic contamination in commercially important marine fishes from the Sohar Coast, Sea of Oman: occurrence, characterization, and polymer composition

Microplastic (MP) pollution is an increasing concern in marine environments because of its persistence, bioavailability, and potential implications for marine ecosystem health and seafood safety. Despite growing global attention, information on MP contamination in commercially im...

Predicting void fraction for boiling steam-water two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels with enhanced modeling of net vapor generation and drift-flux parameters

The investigation of boiling two-phase flow in vertical narrow rectangular channels is important due to their widespread use in advanced thermal systems, such as compact heat exchangers and plate-type fuel reactors, where accurate void fraction prediction is critical for thermal-...

Polygenic risk for schizophrenia predicting age-specific fluctuations in depressive symptoms: Findings from the Young Finns Study

Background A well-established connection exists between psychoses and depression, with one presentation being depressive symptoms before psychosis. However, the predictive power of preceding affective symptoms is reported to be low, raising the question whether depressive symptom...

Physics-constrained dual-path acoustic-emission monitoring of material removal and surface roughness for robotic CFRP belt grinding

In-process monitoring of robotic CFRP belt grinding is hampered by low-contrast acoustic-emission (AE) spectrograms and signal-distribution drift under belt wear, with fewer than 100 labelled samples per campaign. This paper presents a physics-constrained dual-path framework that...

Self-Healing Workflow Orchestration Framework Using System-Aware Adaptive Recovery for Fault-Tolerant Distributed Systems

This research presents the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a modular self-healing workflow orchestration framework for fault-tolerant distributed systems. Developed using Go, Redis, and PostgreSQL, the framework integrates asynchronous task queuing, persist...

Data-Driven Engineering of MnCoMo Electrocatalysts: Predictive Modeling and Experimental Validation for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Abstract The development of sustainable green hydrogen through the use of catalytic processes demands a very active and earth-abundant electrocatalyst capable of facilitating the kinetic difficulties of the oxygen evolution reaction. Conventional trial-and-error and solely comput...

Bacterial Composition and Metabolic Pathways Differ in Six-Month-Old Infants from Peru and California, USA

The infant gut microbiome rapidly develops with age and is influenced by various factors. The potential influence of an infant's geographical origin on these adaptations should be considered. We compared six-month-old infants from two distinct locations — Iquitos, Peru, and San D...

Machine learning in battery management systems: a two-tier scoping review of 799 eligible studies with in-depth classification and validation audit

Machine learning (ML) has become a load-bearing component of modern battery management systems (BMS), yet the validation practices behind the literature's accuracy claims have never been systematically measured. This deposit contains the complete evidence base and analysis pipeli...
