Prevalence and Characteristics of Mental Health Interventions Following Pediatric Hospitalization

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As survival after pediatric critical illness improves, attention has shifted to post-intensive care syndrome and the long-term mental health of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) survivors, who have high rates of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and dep...

A CFD-driven digital twin for automated mold sandblasting in digital manufacturing

Abstract The manufacturing industry is facing increasing pressure to improve efficiency and sustainability in response to energy constraints and environmental regulations. Within this context mold cleaning represents a critical and energy-intensive step in resin-based component m...

Highly conductive regenerated cellulose fibers containing high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes

Abstract This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of highly conductive regenerated cellulose fibers (RCFs) through the proper mixing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) retaining the high quality at concentration of 1.0–3.0 wt% in the dispersions. The CNT dispersio...

Carbon Storage in Tropical Laterites: Insights into Mineralogical Controls and Sequestration Potential

Lateritic soils are widespread in the tropics but their role in carbon storage has not been well studied. This study reports petrographic, grain-size distribution, XRD, XRF, and total organic carbon (TOC) analyses of selected laterite samples from four representative profiles in...

PRANAVAHA SROTAS: A COMPREHENSIVE AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE CARDIOPULMONARY SYSTEM

Pranavaha Srotas is one of the most vital Srotas described in Ayurveda and is fundamentally associated with the maintenance and continuity of life. The term Prāṇa denotes the vital principle responsible for sustaining physiological functions, and Pranavaha Srotas represents the p...

What is the association between insulin dependence and the incidence of postoperative complications, perioperative glucose control, and five-year reoperation rates after total joint replacement?

Aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with adverse outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet optimal perioperative risk stratification remains unclear. This study evaluated the association of insulin dependence with: 1) 90-day com...

Factors Associated with Persistently Increased IL-6 Levels in People with HIV

BACKGROUND: Individuals with HIV remain at higher risk of non-communicable diseases associated with interleukin-6-specific (IL-6) inflammation compared to the background population. Despite antiretroviral therapy, some individuals exhibit persistent hyperinflammation. We characte...

COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY AND FRONTIER-ORBITAL-BASED REACTIVITY DESCRIPTORS OF GUANINE-INITIATED DNA TRINUCLEOTIDES: AN AM1/MOPAC2016 INVESTIGATION

Guanine (G) is the most readily oxidised of the four canonical DNA bases and represents a major site for hole trapping following one-electron oxidation of DNA. Sequence-dependent electronic interactions can therefore influence the localisation and reactivity of oxidative charge i...

THERAPEUTIC ROLE OF SIRAVEDHANA IN CHRONIC GRIDHRASI (SCIATICA) WITH SHAMANA CHIKITSA: A CASE REPORT

Gridhrasi (Sciatica) is a debilitating neuromuscular disorder characterized by radiating pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility of the lower limb. Despite the availability of various treatment modalities, a significant proportion of patients with chronic sciatica fail to achiev...

Predicting psychiatric drug initiation after craniectomy: a retrospective cohort study

Psychiatric morbidity following craniectomy remains underexplored, with physical disability outcome measures forming the mainstay of follow-up tests used during rehabilitation. There are no predictive models to identify patients at a higher risk of new psychiatric drug initiation...

A Prescribed-Factor Sieve and a Prime-Gap Bound of 216

Let H_1 = liminf_{n→∞}(p_{n+1} − p_n). This preprint develops a prescribed-factor equidistribution theorem and combines it with a certified Maynard sieve weight to derive the bound H_1 ≤ 216. The analytic component treats Type-I convolutions in arithmetic progressions to squarefr...

A CASE REPORT ON EFFECT OF SIRAVEDHA IN AVABAHUKA

Avabahuka is a disease described in the classical Ayurvedic texts, characterized predominantly by pain, stiffness, and restricted movements of the shoulder joint. The term Avabahuka is derived from “Ava” and “Bahuka”, indicating a disorder affecting the shoulder region (Ansa Sand...

Impact pathway: beyond automation and augmentation – a relational ontology of AI in operations and supply chain management

Purpose As companies deploy increasingly agentic forms of AI to coordinate and manage workflows, AI can no longer be understood as a discrete technological tool added to existing operations and supply chains. We propose a relational ontology as an alternative theoretical foundati...

Building a One Health mobile laboratory workforce: strengthening public health preparedness across Europe and Africa

Abstract The emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases remain a major public health threat in Europe. The Horizon Europe-funded MOBILISE project addresses this challenge by establishing a One Health Mobile Laboratory capable of handling risk group 3 and 4 pathogens, while...

A REVIEW ARTICLE ON AYURVEDIC INSIGHTS INTO GUT HEALTH AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disorder associated with psoriasis, characterized by joint inflammation, dactylitis and skin and nail lesions. Although conventional management provides symptomatic relief, it often fails to address root causes suc...

SPECTRUM OF KIDNEY DISEASE IN DIABETIC POPULATION- A 3 YEAR STUDY

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is characterized by persistent proteinuria, hypertension, and a progressive decline in renal function and is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide. About 30%-40% of patients with diabetes usually present with frank diabetic nephropa...

3D digital core reconstruction and phase-field-based fracture modeling at the representative microstructural domain scale

Abstract Natural rocks often contain geometrically irregular, multiscale discontinuous pores, which significantly influence their mechanical behavior. Quantitatively assessing the relationship between pore structures and mechanical properties remains challenging for analytical an...

Material and grinding behavior analysis of cemented carbides with cobalt-reduced and cobalt-free binder materials

Abstract Manufacturing companies require large numbers of high-performance cutting tools, which are often made from cemented carbides due to their high hardness and toughness. Cobalt (Co) is typically used as a binder because of its favorable mechanical properties and the high so...
