When Thrombosis and Hemorrhage Coexist: A Case of Pediatric Septic Pulmonary Embolism

A limitation of this report is the absence of coagulation parameters at the time of pulmonary hemorrhage.Although anticoagulation may have led to bleeding risk, the fatal hemorrhage was most likely multifactorial, resulting from the combined effects of severe MRSA infection, sept...

Prevalence of Delayed Healthcare Presentation and Associated Factors in Patients with Predominantly Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background/Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global burden and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Delayed healthcare presentation is significantly associated with poor outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to estimate the prevalence of...

Anion‐Transferring Electrolyte Enables In Situ Construction of Uniform LiF‐Rich Interphases for Long‐Cycling Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Stabilizing electrode/electrolyte interphases is crucial for high‐performance lithium–sulfur batteries; however, simultaneously fabricating robust interphases on both the lithium anode and sulfur cathode is challenging. Here, we report an anion‐transferring functional el...

Candida Bloodstream Infection in Left Ventricular Assist Device Recipients: Case Series and Review of the Literature

Abstract Candida bloodstream infection (C-BSI) is a rare infection in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). We aim to describe the characteristics and outcomes of C-BSI. We performed a retrospective search for C-BSI in patients with LVADs at our institution from...

Exploratory Research Into Competitive Intelligence Practices of Small Local Businesses

Small businesses are similar to larger businesses in that they should be able to gather information about their competitors, market, and customers. However, they also have unique circumstances (lack of resources, closer community connections, etc) that require different methods o...

EVALUATION OF HANDS-ON ANATOMICAL MODELLING FOR TEACHING THE FIBROUS CAPSULE OF THE ELBOW JOINT AMONG FIRST-YEAR MBBS STUDENTS

Background: A sound understanding of three-dimensional anatomical relationships is fundamental to learning grossanatomy and clinical medicine. Traditional seminar-based teaching is often associated with passive learning and may not besufficient to learn the complexity of anatomic...

Effect of NPS and Urea Fertilizer Rates on Phenology, Growth and Yield Components of Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) in West Guji Southern Oromia

Bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major food crops cultivated in West Guji and plays a significant role in ensuring food security in Ethiopia. However, low soil fertility and inadequate fertilizer application are among the major constraints limiting wheat producti...

Exact dimer ground states of long-range spin chains and ladders

Interacting spin chains and ladders are known to support a plethora of quantum phases withcomplex ground-state phase diagrams. In this work, we study a large family of such models anddetermine precise, explicit conditions under which an exact dimer state is guaranteed to be thegr...

HAFN: a federated learning framework for privacy-preserving stress detection

Abstract Stress detection using wrist-worn physiological sensors offers an optimistic pathway toward unobtrusive and continuous health monitoring. Traditional centralized training paradigms come with limitations due to the inherently sensitive nature of physiological data. Federa...

Multimodal Evaluation of Surface Topography and Color Stability in Pediatric Restorative Materials Exposed to Antihistamine Syrups

Background/Aim: Restorative materials in pediatric dentistry are frequently exposed to acidic oral liquid medications, which may alter their surface properties and color. This in vitro study compared the surface roughness, three-dimensional topography, and color stability (ΔE00)...

Family Leisure and Emerging Adults' Well‐Being: The Mediating Role of Family Cohesion

ABSTRACT Objective This study examined whether family cohesion and family adaptability mediate the associations between core (i.e., everyday, inexpensive, home‐based) and balance (i.e., less common, novel) family leisure activities and emerging adults' well‐being, as indicated by...

Japanese Font and Character Pitfalls — Handling JIS2004, Ideographic Variation Selectors, and Gaiji in Business Apps (archived 2026-09-08)

Separate character codes (data) from fonts (appearance) and character trouble in business systems sorts out. Covers JIS2004 glyph changes, IVS, and gaiji. Archived version of https://comcomponent.com/en/blog/japanese-fonts-jis2004-ivs-gaiji-business-apps/, as published on 2026-09...

Ligand Recognition Directs Functional Ionic Layer Construction on Metal Nanoclusters for Electrocatalysis

Abstract Cation effects are central to electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, but freely dissolved cations lack positional control, defined function and persistent coupling to surface motifs. Precise regulation of such ionic microenvironments remains difficult in ligand-stabilized metal...

Bridging Meaning and Form: An Integrated Ardalan-Pirnia Framework for Critical Regionalism in Contemporary Iranian Architecture

Contemporary Iranian architecture faces a disconnect between meaning and spatial form, often leading to formal imitation or alienation. Although Nader Ardalan and Mohammad-Karim Pirnia are key references in defining Iranian architectural identity, their ideas are usually studied...

Diagnostic yield and impact of internal transcribed spacer sequencing from clinical specimens on antifungal management in patients with suspected fungal infection

Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing has been increasingly used for the diagnosis of fungal infection. However, data on its real-world clinical utility are limited. We retrospectively evaluated the diagnostic yield from direct clinical specimens using the final diagnosis...

A.R.E.S. Geological Vortex Anomalies: Large-Magnitude Volcanic Risk, the 0.218-Hz Resonance Hypothesis, and a Falsification-First Research Framework

A.R.E.S. Scientific Boundary Note / Hypothesis Framework v0.1-ZENODO-RC3. This independently authored technical note converts a project architecture briefing on large-magnitude volcanic risk, low-frequency resonance, Model D regime states, lunar/tidal modulation, and volcanic-ash...

Multi-Temporal Phenology–Spectral Feature Optimization and Decision Tree Classification for Estuarine Wetland Vegetation Mapping

Estuarine wetlands are highly dynamic ecosystems, and the vegetation serves as a critical indicator of ecological health. Accurate mapping of different vegetation types remains challenging due to spectral similarities and the high dimensionality of time-series data. This research...

The Gap Between Recognizability and Formal Verification: A Perspective on P vs NP Formed Through Human–Machine Collaboration

Abstract This research note presents a personal perspective on the conceptual distinction between finding, recognizing, verifying, formalizing, and proving. It emerged from the author's study of physics, mathematics, technology, and iterative human–AI collaboration in the PCS pro...

Light in the King's Hand? Rock Crystal, Gold and the Visual Construction of Tutankhamun's Dagger

Tutankhamun’s meteoritic-iron dagger combines a transparent rock-crystal pommel with a gold-covered tenon in its central opening and four gold fastenings. The technical publication emphasises the pommel’s near-perfect symmetry. This paper treats its carefully worked form and the...

Critical for Whom? Reassessing European Union Critical Raw Materials from the Perspective of Chile, Brazil, and Peru for Sustainable Resource Governance

Critical raw material (CRM) lists are published almost exclusively by import-dependent economies, most notably the European Union (EU) and the United States, while many of the countries holding the world’s largest mineral reserves lack official CRM frameworks of their own. This a...
