Evaluation of CD10 Expression in Endometrial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review.

Background & Objective: CD10 is a membrane-bound metalloproteinase that plays a role in tumor progression and differentiation. Its diagnostic significance in endometrial carcinoma, especially in distinguishing between histological subtypes and invasion patterns, is still being st...

Tri-Modal Cytology Excellence: Improving Body Fluid Diagnostic Performance.

Background & Objective: Cytological examination of effusion fluids is a valuable diagnostic tool. In India, conventional smear preparations are widely used, but they are often limited by poor cellularity, overlapping cells, and difficulty distinguishing malignant cells from react...

Response Format and Construct Validity in Medical Students' Word‑Analysis Assessment: A Validity Argument Approach

Response format may influence the interpretation of language assessment scores by engaging different cognitive processes. This study aimed to examine the effects of response format on medical students' word-analysis performance. It further investigated the degree of construct ove...

Evolving Professional Identity of a Teacher Educator: A Longitudinal Case Study

Professional identities of teacher educators are dynamic and play a vital role in shaping future teachers and educational reform; however, there is a shortage of longitudinal studies in non‑Western contexts. This study fills this gap by presenting an intrinsic longitudinal case s...

Synergistic Integration of Multi-Energy Complementary Systems in DC Microgrid-based EV Charging Stations: A Two-Layer Learning Framework for BESS Management

Standalone DC microgrids for EV charging stations are essential for the synergistic integration of energy storage technologies with smart grids and multi-energy complementary systems. However, stochastic dynamic EV charging loads in cold climates often overstress Battery Energy S...

Predictive models of the genetic bases underlying budding yeast fitness in multiple environments.

population. Models revealed that the predictive ability of genetic variants varied across environments, with copy number variants explaining the majority of fitness variation in most cases. Model interpretation showed that different variant types identified distinct gene sets ass...

Baroreflex Activation Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure with a Reduced Ejection Fraction.

A randomized, controlled trial of baroreflex activation therapy (BAT) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction demonstrated that BAT was safe and significantly improved patient-centered symptomatic outcomes, increasing exercise capacity, improving quality of l...

Cardiac Contractility Modulation: Implications in Heart Failure, a Current Review.

Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) is a novel therapeutic approach for heart failure patients, which utilizes nonexcitatory electrical myocardial stimulation in the absolute refractory period of the cardiac cycle. This stimulation has been shown to increase contractility, lea...

Remote Monitoring Devices and Heart Failure.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) in patients with heart failure (HF) involves transmitting physiological data from devices to a health-care provider via a wireless connection with targeted interventions when values exceed the preset threshold. Devices used in telemonitoring range...

Model Generation of Cyber-Physical Power Distribution Systems Using Land-Use and Open Data

The increasing interdependence between electrical power systems and infor- mation and communication technologies (ICT) is changing the operational landscape of modern energy systems. Accurate modeling of regional cyber- physical power systems (CPPS) is essential for assessing sys...

Entrepreneurial Work Engagement among Baristas in Franchise and Nonfranchise Coffee Shop Ventures

This qualitative study examines work engagement among baristas in franchise and nonfranchise coffee shop ventures in Surabaya, Indonesia, viewed through an entrepreneurial lens on small-business human resource management in the food and beverage (F&B) sector. The Job Demands-Reso...

Unusual enrichment of rare C-to-G transversions in the SARS-CoV-2 delta spike

SARS-CoV-2 evolution is typically characterized by strong mutational biases, with C-G transversions being consistently rare. This study investigates a unique violation of this constraint specifically within the Delta variant spike protein. By analyzing nucleotide substitution spe...

Isotopic evidence for slab-derived magmatic water beneath the Kussharo Caldera, Japan

It is well known that water transported by a subducting oceanic plate (slab) plays a key role in the formation of island-arc magmas. However, direct evidence demonstrating that magmatic water is derived from the slab remains limited. To address this, we conducted isotope and diss...

Road-oriented attention and class-balanced learning for post-disaster road damage segmentation

Accurate pixel-level segmentation of post-disaster road damage is important for decision-support applications that require reliable and spatially explicit road-scene understanding. This study proposes a deep-learning framework for localizing visible road-damage regions in post-di...

Relationships between psychosocial aspects of stuttering and self-disclosure of stuttering in a Japanese sample

Purpose: We aimed to psychometrically evaluate a Japanese version of the Disclosure of Stuttering Scale, from Boyle et al. (2018), and identify the psychosocial factors associated with level of stuttering self-disclosure among adults who stutter. Methods: Adults who stutter were...

AI analysis of elastin staining sections reveals the biological implications of cancer-related fibrosis in small-sized lung adenocarcinomas

Objective: Pathological invasion influences patient prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, diagnosis is often associated with high interobserver variability because non-lepidic adenocarcinoma (NLA) and cancer-related fibrosis (CRF) are intricately mixed, and CRF contai...

Protocol update to: Protocol for rapid manipulation of mitochondrial morphology in living cells using inducible counter mitochondrial morphology

Disruption of mitochondrial morphology occurs during various diseases, but the biological significance is not entirely clear. Here, we describe a detailed step-bystep protocol for a chemically inducible dimerization (CID) system-based synthetic protein device, termed inducible co...

MLAC: MicroED-assisted ligand structure analysis in complexes and its application to hERG-ligand complexes

Accurate determination of ligand structures in protein-ligand complexes is essential for elucidating molecular recognition mechanisms and advancing structure-based drug discovery. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as a powerful technique for determining macromol...

Heterogeneous predictability on mutual fund alphas:A sparse clustering GMM approach

Mutual fund managers’ skills, measured by risk-adjusted alphas, are predictable using fund characteristics identified by machine learning (e.g., Kaniel et al., 2023, JFE; DeMiguel et al., 2023, JFE). However, alpha's predictive power varies across funds and periods, with most fun...
