Brokerage, power and individual innovation:When do brokers act on their structural advantage?

Prior research has found that brokers, those who stand between two disconnected parties, may access non-redundant information that is conducive to higher innovation. However, research has also shown that occupying brokering network positions does not systematically translate into...

UK'37 is unaffected by IODP repository conditions

The alkenone palaeothermometer is one of the principal methods by which past sea surface temperatures are reconstructed on Cenozoic timescales. Alkenone temperatures, produced from the UK’37 ratio of C37:2 and C37:3 alkenones, have been generated in hundreds of studies, many usin...

Dysphagia care processes on acute stroke wards: an ethnographic study of barriers and facilitators relevant to stroke‐associated pneumonia

Introduction Dysphagia is associated with increased risk of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP). The multifactorial pathophysiology of SAP and the interplay of care processes make it challenging to unpack which components are associated with risk of SAP. The aim of the research was...

Is the St. Gallen Algorithm for proximal humerus fractures associated with improved outcomes?

Background Proximal humerus fractures are the fourth most common type of fracture in elderly humans, seventh most common overall, and their incidence is rising. In 2019, the St. Gallen Algorithm (SGA) for treatment of proximal humerus fractures was proposed to improve treatment o...

No Longer Well-Differentiated: Diagnostic Criteria and Clinical Importance of Poorly Differentiated/High-Grade Thyroid Carcinoma.

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma (DHGTC) are uncommon thyroid malignancies, recently (re)codified into distinct entities with overlapping clinical significance. Recognizing them may be challenging for the general pract...

This is Your Thyroid on Drugs: Targetable Mutations and Fusions in Thyroid Carcinoma.

This review aims to provide an overview of the molecular pathogenesis thyroid carcinomas, emphasizing genetic alterations that are therapeutically actionable. The main pathways in thyroid carcinogenesis are the MAPK and PI3K pathways. Point mutations and gene rearrangements affec...

On the Chopping Block: Overview of DICER1 Mutations in Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

Mutational inactivation of the DICER1 gene causes aberrant micro-RNA maturation, which in turn may have consequences for the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, thereby contributing to tumor formation in various organs. Germline DICER1 mutations cause DICER1 syndro...

Preoperative, Intraoperative, and Postoperative Parathyroid Pathology: Clinical Pathologic Collaboration for Optimal Patient Management.

Parathyroid disease typically presents with parathyroid hyperfunction as result of neoplasia or a consequence of non-neoplastic systemic disease. Given the parathyroid gland is a hormonally active organ with broad physiologic implications and serologically accessible markers for...

Para This, Fibromin That: The Role of CDC73 in Parathyroid Tumors and Familial Tumor Syndromes.

CDC73 alterations are associated with three main parathyroid lesions according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the endocrine system. These include hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome-associated adenomas, atypical parathyroid tumors (...

Back to Biochemistry: Evaluation for and Prognostic Significance of SDH Mutations in Paragangliomas and Pheochromocytomas.

There is increasing recognition of the high prevalence of hereditary predisposition syndromes in patients diagnosed with paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma. It is widely acknowledged that germline pathogenic alterations of the succinate dehydrogenase complex genes (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC,...

Optic canal decompression in severe therapy refractory optic neuritis: a case report.

Purpose To describe a unique case of successful optic canal decompression in radiologically confirmed severe optic neuritis involving the optic canal.Observations A 24-year-old woman experienced severe visual loss in the right eye due to retrobulbar optic neuritis (ON), as an ini...

Stabilizing the ground beneath our feet: Reflections on the shifting sands of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)

This invited commentary presents our personal reflections upon the evolving diversity, equality/equity and inclusion (DEI) landscape since the publication of our review, Fletcher and Beauregard's (2022) 'The psychology of diversity and its implications for workplace (in)equality:...

Matrix Ap-weights relative to a pseudo-metric

Matrix weights satisfying a Muckenhoupt Ap-condition relative to a family of anisotropic balls in Rd defined by a pseudo-metric are studied. It is shown that such matrix weights satisfy a doubling condition and a reverse Hölder inequality. In the special case, where the pseudo-me...

Association of diabetes and smoking with stroke subtypes and mortality in a Saudi cohort.

Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Saudi Arabia, with its incidence projected to double by 2030. Diabetes and smoking are major modifiable risk factors. This study assessed their association with stroke type and mortality in a tertiary stroke un...

A compact common weight data envelopment analysis model for efficiency measurement

This paper proposes a novel common-weight DEA model that combines multi-objective linear fractional programming and goal programming to determine a set of common-weights for evaluating decision-making units (DMUs). The model formulates a single linear program (LP) without requiri...

Existence and Ulam-Hyers stability for a singular Caputo-fractional problem with integral boundary conditions

In this article, we study a singular fractional-order Caputo differential problem involving boundary conditions with linear operators. The analysis is carried out in an appropriate Banach space framework. First, by applying the Banach contraction principle, we establish a uniquen...

Quasilinearized Genocchi-polynomial collocation for efficient simulation of a nonlinear SIRV anthrax transmission model

Mathematical models of anthrax transmission often involve strong nonlinearities that challenge standard solvers and can limit robust inference. We present a four-compartment (SIRV) animal anthrax model and an efficient numerical framework that combines quasilinearization with a s...
