Abstract Soil acidity and nutrient deficiencies limit sustainable sugarcane production in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, where small-scale growers (SSGs) often lack access to lime and fertilizers, leading to progressive soil degradation. This study assessed the potential of V...

Placental sphingolipids are altered by maternal obesity and GDM and associated with fetal overgrowth
Maternal obesity and GDM increase the risk of fetal overgrowth. It has been shown that maternal adiponectin, decreased with these pregnancy pathologies, stimulates ceramide synthesis regulating placental nutrient transfer and fetal growth. We hypothesized that placental sphingoli...

We report two inequivalent exact algorithms for the product of a 5×7 by a 7×7 matrix, each using 176 multiplications in which every coefficient is −1, 0 or +1. Rank 176 is the best rank published for ⟨5,7,7⟩ in any coefficient domain; the rank-176 scheme in the public catalogue c...

Abstract Background HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and viral suppression to an undetectable level (“Undetectable=Untransmittable” or “U = U”) are highly effective at preventing sexual HIV transmission between serodifferent partners (partners with different HIV statuses). The...

Laboratory and wild Drosophila sechellia have conserved niche specialization phenotypes
Abstract Many studies investigating the proximate causes of evolutionary adaptations dissect potentially adaptive phenotypes under laboratory conditions where organisms are more easily experimentally manipulated. For such models, it remains unclear if organisms maintained long-te...

This study examines the effects of the sodium complex of quercetin-5′-sulfonic acid (NaQSA) on Candida albicans yeast cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed a concentration-dependent decrease in viable cell numbers after incubation with NaQSA, indicating reduced cellular viabilit...

The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) continues to rise in India, and globally. However, uncertainty remains regarding its diagnosis and optimal management. We explored how clinicians in India navigate GDM-related care to identify where additional guidelines or tr...

The rapid growth of biomedical literature has rendered traditional systematic reviews unsustainable. Although large language models (LLMs) offer automation potential, citation fabrication and unreliable evidence discrimination remain critical barriers. Here, using PubChat as a Pu...

Abstract Background As populations age, it is becoming more important than ever to understand how older people’s care needs can be met and to ensure that local care providers are coordinated effectively. Describing older adults’ demographic characteristics, functional status, hea...

A GIS-based analysis of landscape functions in Selcuk District, Türkiye
Identifying landscape functions is one of the fundamental components of ecological planning, as it reveals the spatial distribution of natural and cultural processes and supports the development of planning decisions aimed at achieving a balance between conservation and land use....

William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition Celebrates Medical Student and Physician Poets
Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED)'s annual poetry competition was named for and envisioned in the spirit of the iconic American poet and pioneering patient-centered physician William Carlos Williams. It honors his legacy by celebrating contemporary clinician writers-both...

Firelight and the origins of spoken language
Language and fire are hallmarks of the human condition, but most scholars treat them as independent traits. We develop a theory for the origin of language that links both touchstones of human evolution. First, we show that precursors to language were probably rooted in the gestur...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂, R744) has emerged as a leading natural refrigerant alternative owing to its negligible ozone depletion potential, unity global warming potential, chemical stability, and favourable heat transfer characteristics. However, the low critical temperature (31.1 °C)...
