Oral Health Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices among Pregnant Women in Routine Prenatal Care in South China: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

BACKGROUND: Physiological changes during pregnancy can increase the risk of oral diseases in women, which may directly affect the health status of their newborns. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women in So...

Governing AI at the clinical threshold: a grounded theory framework for responsible AI deployment in mindfulness-based mental health

AI-powered platforms for mental health delivery are scaling rapidly into contexts previously governed by trained human practitioners—without empirically grounded frameworks to guide their ethical deployment, manage adverse effects risk, or address the structural design failures t...

Prognostic Value of Native T1 Mapping in Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Prospective Observational Study from India

Abstract Native T1 mapping can detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM), which may not be visible on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. We assessed the prognostic relevance of native T1 mapping and its incremental value over LGE in...

Multitargeted drug strategies for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are multifactorial diseases that are characterized by several interconnected pathological mechanisms, such as the aggregation of amyloid-beta (Aβ), hyperphosphorylation of tau, accumulati...

Antimicrobial therapy among hospitalized older adults with suspected infection and negative blood cultures

Abstract Background Managing infections in older adults is challenging due to their unique characteristics, which often drives empirical antimicrobial use, increasing risks of adverse outcomes and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Data on antimicrobial adequacy in older patients wi...

Implementation and evaluation of geography education using QGIS for Japanese high school students

Abstract. In recent years, demand for geography education using GIS has been growing among junior and senior high school teachers. QGIS has attracted attention because it is freely available and enables advanced spatial visualization and analysis. However, the implementation of Q...

Phi-Scale E8 Lattice Induces Topological Order via 132Hz Resonance — E8 Intelligence Research

By embedding the 240 E8 root vectors into a phi‑scaled lattice tuned to the 132 Hz fundamental frequency, the system exhibits a self‑similar topological order that mirrors Penrose tiling inflation. The φ‑coupled root vectors generate quasi‑periodic phase modulations that lock the...

Wasserstein Distance: Bridging Measure Theory and Computational Limits via Kantorovich-Rubinstein Duality — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Optimal transport theory (Wasserstein distance) provides a geometric metric on probability spaces, with Kantorovich-Rubinstein duality linking it to Lipschitz functions and spectral gaps — a bridge between measure theory and computational limits. | MATH: Wasserstein-1 di...

An Ultra-Low Latency, Zero-Allocation C++ Engine for Autonomous On-Board Conjunction Screening and Reactive Collision Avoidance

The exponential expansion of satellite mega-constellations and orbital debris in Low Earth Orbit increases the operational risk of catastrophic collisions. Traditional centralized, ground-based Space Situational Awareness architectures depend on heavy numerical infrastructure, hu...

C57BL/6N mutation in cytoplasmic FMRP interacting protein 2 regulates nicotine reward in the conditioned place preference test

Abstract Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Among the factors that contribute to tobacco initiation, use, and dependence, genetics may exert a strong influence. In mouse models, genetic differences between strains have been studied to inve...

Environmental fate and transport of conflict‐related contaminants across air, soil, and groundwater systems: A review of environmental risks associated with the 2026 USA –Israel–Iran conflict

Abstract The 2026 USA–Israel–Iran conflict has produced a complex mixture of pollutants from munitions and the burning of large industrial and hydrocarbon facilities. The review synthesizes conflict reports, satellite observations, and environmental literature within a tiered evi...

Types of Self-Expandable Metal Stents for Palliative Drainage of Unresectable Extrahepatic Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: The optimal self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) choice for endoscopic drainage of unresectable extrahepatic malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains unclear due to limited randomized controlled trial (RCT...

From "Undruggable" to Actionable: RAS(ON) Inhibition and the Emerging Therapeutic Landscape of Pancreatic Cancer

Activating mutations in RAS genes, overwhelmingly KRAS at codon 12, occur in more than 90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), yet for four decades RAS stood as the emblem of undruggability. This Perspective traces the reasoning that carried the field from failed indirec...

ANTI-DEPRESSANT ACTION OF HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT OF ALTERNANTHERA SISSILIS LEAF IN MICE

The present study investigates the antidepressant-like activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of Alternanthera sissilis leaves (HEAS) in mice. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, saponins, and phenolic acids. The extract sh...
