An Adolescent With Neurosyphilis

Neurosyphilis is a central nervous system (CNS) infection that has become exceedingly rare in the postantibiotic era, especially in children and HIV-negative persons. It can develop during any stage of an untreated syphilis infection and is known as "the great imitator" for its h...

Whole-genome sequencing of an in-house isolated Prevotella intermedia strain Pre.in-GSH

An anaerobic Prevotella intermedia isolate (strain Pre.in-GSH) was obtained from mouse fecal samples using selective culture-based isolation. Mice were orally administered with 3-methylhistidine (3-MH) for 7 consecutive days, and fecal samples were collected under sterile conditi...

Shotgun metagenomic profiling of gut microbiota in control and time-restricted feeding human cohorts

A prospective human cohort study was conducted to investigate the effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF) on the gut microbiota. Participants were assigned to either the control (CTRL) group or the TRF group. The TRF group underwent a 21-day time-restricted feeding intervention,...

Individual Five-Dimensional Witnesses in SInC

The Witness sector is taken to comprise individual five-dimensional entities; wavefunctions and densities describe those entities without constituting their ontology. This supplement selects one explicit massive-worldline completion and includes the distinct ECO gravitational car...

Data-driven stochastic reduced-order modelling of parametrized dynamical systems

Abstract Modelling complex dynamical systems under varying conditions is computationally intensive, often rendering high-fidelity simulations intractable. Although reduced-order models (ROMs) offer a promising solution, current methods often struggle with stochastic dynamics and...

Little evidence for cultural differences in automatic imitation

Individuals tend to automatically imitate others' actions. Such imitative behavior is often assumed to be a universal phenomenon. However, most prior research has focused on Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) populations, leaving open whether people a...

Sympatric pikas partition microhabitats differently across a spatial-elevational gradient

Abstract How closely related, ecologically similar species co-occur and navigate competition remains a central question in community ecology. Microhabitat partitioning in patchy environments can support the co-existence of sympatric species on small spatial scales. We quantified...

Ploidy is associated with multielemental reorganization across soft and mineralized body compartments

Polyploidy alters nuclear DNA content, gene dosage and cellular organization, but its consequences for organismal chemistry remain poorly resolved, particularly in animals. Because nucleic acids and associated cellular machinery require coordinated allocation of multiple elements...

Coupled CFD–DEM analysis of soil cavity formation and gas diffusion during buried pipeline leakage

Abstract After the leakage of a buried pipeline, the overlying soil structure deforms under the high-speed impact of escaping gas, influencing both leakage and diffusion behaviours. This deformation typically appears as a soil cavity above the leakage port, especially in medium-...

Why No One Has Implemented the Turing Test: Identifying Turing’s Design and Putting it into Practice

Abstract In October 1950, Alan Turing proposed that a machine’s success in an imitation game provides a criterion for thinking. Turing’s test became one of the philosophical foundations of AI, but three-quarters of a century later, it is widely claimed that generative AI models p...

Uncovering the role of biogeography, resources, food web composition and time during microbial primary succession

Ecological succession is shaped by multiple processes that operate simultaneously across spatial and temporal scales. While classical succession theory generally focuses on a single trophic level within a single location, often in plants or other macroscopic organisms, recent eff...

Genome report: sequencing of Helicoverpa- infecting Ophryocystis sp. confirms cryptic diversity and changes in gene content of Lepidoptera-infecting apicomplexan parasites

Apicomplexan parasites of insects represent a largely unexplored branch of the tree of life. Their small size and lack of informative phenotypic traits can obscure their diversity and many lineage-specific adaptations to different host species. To better understand how these para...

Aquatic vegetation promotes prey diversity but not the diversification of predator phenotypes

Freshwater fish have evolved to forage in a range of habitats, from open water in lakes to benthic shorelines and streams. Much research has focused on how prey differences, such as zooplankton versus benthic macroinvertebrates, might select for divergence in predator traits acro...

Designing Guidelines for Bragg Coherent Nano Diffraction in Crystalline Thin Films

Abstract Recent constructions and upgrades of fourth-generation light sources have dramatically improved the feasibility of Bragg coherent nano diffraction experiments. However, obtaining physical information from these experiments is dramatically different from measurements in t...

Mathematical simulations of paediatric haemodynamics in isolated ventricular septal defect

Computer modelling of the cardiovascular system has the potential to revolutionize personalized medical care. This is especially promising for congenital heart defects, such as ventricular septal defect (VSD), a hole between the two ventricles of the heart. However, relatively fe...

Advanced oxidation processes for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in aqueous media: evidence gaps, mechanistic insights and emerging directions

Abstract The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) remains a relevant aquatic contaminant because parent-compound disappearance does not imply mineralization, detoxification or treatment readiness. This systematic review synthesizes recent evidence on advanced oxidatio...

Multiple-Staged Versus Single-Stage Surgical Excision for the Reconstruction of Congenital Melanocytic Nevi: A Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Safety

AIM: Systematic evidence comparing multiple-staged and single-stage excision strategies for the excision and reconstruction of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) remains limited. Because direct comparative evidence remains scarce, we pooled available studies to determine whether m...

Every archived record an RO-Crate: A storage contract for enrichment on Fedora 6/7

The Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR) is the national information system for archaeological fieldwork. It runs on Fedora 6.5 (F7 just being implemented), and each record is one Archival Group, so one OCFL object. In the Horizon Europe project ATRIUM we are adding ma...

Understanding the Psychosocial Factors Affecting Hypertension Management in Vulnerable Populations

This study conducted, was cross-sectional and carried out using a mixed approach to explore psychosocial determinants associated with the treatment of hypertension among vulnerable individuals in Uzbekistan. From March to August 2025, 320 patients suffering from hypertension with...

When relocation moves more than a market

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comme...
