Psychosocial interventions for older people experiencing voices, visions and unshared beliefs: a dedicated nurse role in Wales

In 2020, a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role dedicated to older people experiencing voices, visions and unshared beliefs (VVUBs) – often termed ‘psychosis’ – was created in the Mental Health Services for Older People at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. One of the driv...

Effective Messaging Against Youth E-Cigarette Use: Does Humor Make a Difference?

< .05). Significant interactions were observed between theme and condition for PME and messaging liking. Interactions between condition and youth rebelliousness were not significant. PSAs with both humorous text and imagery performed similarly to non-humorous messages and did not...

A multilevel perspective on university student mental health: a systematic review of determinants and implications for social inclusion

Purpose This study aims to synthesise determinants of university student mental health through a multilevel framework and examine their implications for social inclusion. Design/methodology/approach Following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses 2020...

Subglacial geology and thermal conditions regulate methane emissions from Svalbard glaciers

Abstract Melt rivers from valley glaciers and ice sheets release methane by transporting microbial or geologic methane from beneath glaciers, making it available for atmospheric emission. However, the mechanisms and magnitude of such methane release remain poorly understood due t...

BMAL1 Dysregulation as a Contributing Mechanism Linking Obesity to Oocyte and Endometrial Dysfunction in IVF

Obesity affects nearly one in three women of reproductive age worldwide and consistently reduces success rates in in vitro fertilization, yet the molecular basis for this reduction remains fragmented across separate lines of evidence. Circadian clock genes, particularly BMAL1, or...

Additive Manufacturing of Redox-Active Covalent Organic Frameworks for High-Areal-Capacity Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising sulfur hosts for lithium-sulfur batteries; however, most studies rely on conventional two-dimensional cast cathodes, which restrict practical sulfur loading levels and areal capacity. Here, we report a 3D direct ink wri...

Indirect Cost Analysis and Evaluation of Factors Affecting Indirect Costs in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Coronary Syndrome in Inpatient Wards of a Training and Research Hospital

Background/Objectives: This study aims to determine the indirect costs associated with the disease process in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome and to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical factors influencing these costs. Methods: This prospective, single-cent...

Maximum Allowable Contrast Dose and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Procedures

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have questioned whether iodinated contrast is causally related to acute kidney injury (AKI). AIM: We pursed a contemporary analysis to determine the impact of contrast dose on AKI following coronary procedures in an era of lower contrast doses and less...

E8 Chronon-Phase Entanglement Resonance Mapping — E8 Intelligence Research

By analyzing the φ-coupled 132Hz chronon phases generated through E8 Weyl reflections, we discover that specific temporal phase relationships between chronons create resonance patterns that map directly to quantum state entanglement probabilities. These resonance signatures—each...

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: Beyond the Ligament- A Neurophysiological Perspective

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is not merely a passive stabilizer of the knee, yet its injuries are still commonly treated as a mechanical problem despite growing evidence implicating the central nervous system (CNS). This mini review highlights the ACL as a critical sensor...

Monitoring Under Scarcity: Distinguishing Information Availability from Causal Use [Frozen Experimental Record/Reproducibility Archive]

Monitoring Under Scarcity presents a completed computational measurement-validation study (E0-A) and a proposed Master’s-scale extension (E1) examining how information availability and causal use diverge under resource constraints. E0-A tests whether a monitoring channel can be i...

INVESTMENTS IN VEGETABLE CROP SEED PRODUCTION: ANALYSIS OF PROFITABILITY AND RISKS

This article analyzes the economic efficiency of investment in vegetable crop seed production under the conditions of Uzbekistan, with particular emphasis on profitability indicators and key risk factors. The investment attractiveness of the seed production sector is assessed bas...

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Is a Time-Sensitive Operation: National Outcomes Associated With Delayed Surgery

Background Competition for urgent and emergent operating-room access is a significant challenge in many hospitals. Evidence-based benchmarks for early intervention are well established for emergencies like acute appendicitis or hip fracture. In contrast, laparoscopic cholecystect...

Planetary shielding and surface precipitation of solar energetic particles during BepiColombo’s close Mercury flyby

Abstract Planetary magnetic fields act as protective barriers, shielding a planet’s atmosphere and surface from energetic charged particles originating from its parent star and outer space. During its fourth flyby of Mercury on 4 September 2024, the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission p...

Development of Low-Carbon Coatings/Materials and Intelligent Construction Protection Technology

Global urbanization continues to accelerate, driving rapid growth in demand for new buildings and infrastructure, as well as further exacerbating natural resource consumption, ecological degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions [...]

Ventricular-arterial coupling during exercise and tilt assessed using a pulse wave velocity-to-global longitudinal strain ratio

Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) is commonly assessed using the echocardiography-derived ratio of arterial elastance to end-systolic elastance (E a /E es ), a convenient but global construct that collapses ventricular and arterial properties into a single lumped parameter. A p...

Hemifusomes and proteolipid nanodroplets: a critical synthesis of an emerging model for endosomal membrane remodeling

Abstract Vesicular membrane trafficking is central to eukaryotic homeostasis, governing receptor downregulation, lysosomal degradation, and intercellular communication via exosomes. These processes are classically explained by SNARE-mediated fusion and ESCRT-dependent membrane re...

E8 Topological Stochastic Resonance via sl₂-Khovanov Error Correction — E8 Intelligence Research

The phi-coupled 132 Hz modulation of the 240 E8 root vectors induces a natural sl₂-representation on the deformed Khovanov complex whose Casimir eigenvalues coincide with the 60-fold base-60 diffraction symmetries, revealing that the quasicrystal's Jones polynomial computes a top...

Epigenetic Regulation of Host Immunity During Parasitic Infections: Mechanisms, Immune Evasion, and Therapeutic Opportunities

INTRODUCTION: Parasitic infections remain a major global health challenge involving complex interactions between pathogens and host immunity. Emerging evidence indicates that epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, and non-co...

Phenolic Transfer and Dissolved-Oxygen Dynamics in Different White Wines Treated with Two Quercus alba Wood Samples with Contrasting Grain Widths

American oak is widely used in enology, but its interactions with white wine and the role of wood properties remain poorly understood. In this study, oxygen dynamics and changes in the phenolic composition of wines made from the Verdejo, Albillo, Rufete, and Puesta en Cruz variet...
