Effect of odour on prey pattern aversion in jumping spiders

Abstract Many animals defend themselves with toxic chemicals and use multimodal warning displays involving odours and bright colours to advertise their toxicity. Yet, how coloration and odour interact and why they so often evolve together is not well understood. Recent work in ju...

Monograph 27 (Field-14): Autonomous Disaster Suppression Protocols and Life-Preservation Countermeasures in Divine-Responder Embodied Systems

Monograph 27 (Field-14) formalizes autonomous Disaster Suppression Protocols (D_suppression) designed to operate in direct symbiosis with emergency first responders. Grounded in non-violence constraints (sigma_ahimsa) and powered by Dual-Argon spatial-kinetic digital twinning (A_...

A generalized Gurson model for loaded ‘voids’

Abstract The Gurson model successfully solves the problem of void damage within a finite homogeneous matrix. Yet, it is inherently incapable of describing scenarios where the matrix contains inclusions that may trigger the void formation. In this work, we generalize the Gurson mo...

Comparison of Primary Patency Rates and Influencing Factors Between Drug-Coated Balloons and Drug-Eluting Stents in the Endovascular Treatment of Lower Extremity Arteriosclerosis Obliterans

AIM: To compare the 1-year patency rates of drug-coated balloon (DCB) and drug-eluting stent (DES) in the treatment of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO), and to systematically analyze the factors influencing post-treatment patency.METHODS: This retrospective stu...

Risk Factors for Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study Evaluating Axillary Surgical Approaches

AIM: Breast cancer-related lymphedema remains a major complication that follows axillary surgery. This prospective study evaluated the effects of axillary surgical techniques and treatment-related factors on the development of lymphedema in patients undergoing breast cancer surge...

Cell averages of hitting times in harmonic graph condensation

Harmonic extension with its induced mass gives the classical Guyan approximation of graph Laplacian eigenvalues, and its leading error coefficient is a killed-Green quadratic form. We quantify how first hitting times govern this coefficient. For graphs assembled from cells with o...

Sex Differences in Presentation, Management, and Prognosis of Surgically Treated Oral Tongue Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

AIM: Tongue carcinoma is an aggressive subtype of oral cavity cancer. Sex-related differences in disease presentation and prognosis remain incompletely understood.METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included patients with histologically confirmed oral tongue squamous cell ca...

Passive ankle exoskeleton assistance selectively modulates triceps surae neural control during balance

Wearable assistive devices have potential to improve human balance, but their effectiveness remains limited by an incomplete understanding of how mechanical assistance influences neuromuscular control. This study aimed to determine the neural adaptations in the control of lower l...

Self-organized spectral adjustment in echolocation sounds within group-flying bats

Self-organized behaviour has been extensively studied in group dynamics in animals, with a strong focus on movement coordination in species like fish and birds. By contrast, far less attention has been paid to vocal interactions within animal groups. Here, we unveil a self-organi...

Comparison of Postoperative Complications and Perioperative Outcomes Between Endoscopic-Assisted and Open Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study

AIM: To compare the incidence of complications within 90 days postoperatively and perioperative outcomes between endoscopic-assisted and open prosthetic breast reconstruction.METHODS: Data from female patients who underwent total mastectomy and prosthetic breast reconstruction fr...

Evolution of the axial skeleton of early dinosaurs and the role of meristic and homeotic processes

Abstract Changes in the axial skeleton played an important role in dinosaur evolution, with some of the oldest dinosaurs showing evidence of sacralization events. The increased number of early dinosaur discoveries over the last decade provides an opportunity to better characteriz...

Pure Shift 2D NMR with Water Suppression for Structural and Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Molecules

Abstract Achieving high-resolution proton NMR spectra in aqueous media remains a major challenge for structurally complex and conformationally flexible molecules, where homonuclear scalar couplings and limited chemical-shift dispersion lead to severe spectral congestion. Here, we...

Diagnostic Value of FAR, CAR, and PNI in Differentiating Benign From Malignant Endometrial Lesions and Assessing High-Risk Pathological Features

AIM: Benign endometrial lesions and endometrial cancer often overlap in clinical and ultrasonographic features. This study evaluated the ability of the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) to differen...

Stress-correlated stereom organization in the echinoid tubercle reveals hierarchical mechanical integration

Echinoid tests consist of a highly porous skeletal microstructure (stereom) optimized in terms of functional performance. One of the most mechanically demanding components of the test is the tubercle, which forms the mechanical interface between the test plates and spines and is...

Dual cascade of two-dimensional turbulence arising from collective swimming

Abstract Using high-resolution numerical simulations, supported by shallow-water tank experiments, we show that the collective swimming of fish at finite Reynolds numbers can spontaneously generate two-dimensional (2D) turbulence. The resulting flow exhibits a robust dual-cascade...

Association of Early Primary Care Follow-Up With Acute Care Use After ICU Discharge

OBJECTIVE: To determine if early primary care follow-up after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) hospitalization is associated with reduced acute care use. METHODS: Using claims data from publicly and privately insured children, we identified a cohort of PICU hospitalizations f...

Artificial Intelligence for Payer Population Health Risk stratification, care gaps, and intervention prioritization in chronic care

Payer population health requires a distinction between predicting an adverse outcome, identifying a documented care gap, and selecting a response. We organized public evidence on computational approaches to these functions in chronic care, with Latin America as the context of int...

Soft tissue sarcoma unmasked: An atypical presentation of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma

Introduction: Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) is the most common subtype of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma and is typically an indolent malignancy with an excellent prognosis. However, atypical presentations may mimic soft tissue sarcoma or high-grade lympho...
