Intestinal fructose catabolism promotes obesity and insulin resistance via ileal lacteal remodeling

High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumption is a risk factor for obesity and diabetes, yet the underlying mechanisms, especially at the specific organ level, are incompletely understood. Catabolism of dietary fructose primarily occurs in the small intestine and liver, with fructo...

From Leaves to Roots: Seasonal Dynamics of Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Use of Understory Plant Resources in a Forest–Agricultural Landscape of Central Poland

Wild boars (Sus scrofa) forage on plant resources located both above and below the soil surface, but it remains unclear whether these resources are exploited simultaneously or used as complementary food pools according to season. This study examined seasonal changes in the use of...

Revisiting the role of danazol in the contemporary management of endometriosis-related pain: a systematic review

INTRODUCTION: Danazol is a synthetic steroid approved in 1976 for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. Despite its established efficacy, its clinical use has markedly declined due to androgenic and metabolic adverse effects, prompting reconsideration of its role in cur...

Effects of ketone supplementation on metabolic and hormonal profiles in polycystic ovary syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by metabolic dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and reproductive hormone imbalance. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of ketone supplementation on anthropometric, metabolic, and h...

Designing a School-Based, Complex Public Health Intervention to Improve Iodine Awareness in Adolescents in Six Countries

Background: Iodine is an essential micronutrient required for foetal development, cognitive function, and metabolic regulation; however, suboptimal iodine status remains a public health concern in Europe and other regions. Improving food literacy related to iodine may support hea...

Leukocyte glycemic index associated with 30-day mortality in sepsis patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation: insights from the MIMIC-IV database

This study aimed to examine whether the leukocyte glycemic index (LGI), a compact marker linking inflammatory burden with stress-related glucose disturbance, is associated with 30-day mortality among patients with sepsis complicated by new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF). This r...

Outcome Evaluation of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention vs Medical Therapy Alone in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndrome

This study provides real-world evidence by comparing the long-term clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus medical therapy alone in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) diagnosed non-invasively, given the lack of evidence in this population....

Communication support for older adults with age-related hearing loss in acute care settings

Age-related hearing loss is frequently overlooked in acute care settings despite its negative effects on communication, care experience and patient safety. This literature review synthesises recent evidence on interventions, practices and approaches relevant to supporting older a...

Science and the Common Good: Reconceptualising the Relationship

Abstract Science routinely appeals to the idea of serving the common good, at least in part to justify public funding. Yet, there is growing recognition that current research structures and incentives impede the fulfilment of this ideal. This paper argues that this shortfall stem...

High-Precision Inversion of Forest Aboveground Biomass in Karst Regions Based on Multi-Scale Synergy and Geomorphological Zoning Modeling

Accurate quantification of forest biomass in the karst mountainous region of Southwest China is critical for regional carbon sink accounting. However, remote sensing-based inversion of forest biomass in this region is subject to the dual constraints of scale effects and spatial h...

Rescue transseptal percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty for early bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis during VA-ECMO support: a case report

Abstract Background Early bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis (BPVT) is a rare but life-threatening cause of acute prosthetic obstruction after mitral valve surgery. Management is particularly challenging in postcardiotomy shock requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane o...

A Scalable Low-Cost Epoxy-Based Porous Coating for High-Performance Radiative Cooling Prepared via a Pickering High-Internal-Phase-Emulsion Approach

Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology with high solar reflectance and high infrared emissivity has been increasingly applied in green buildings. However, current PDRC designs are either high-cost or require additional multi-step fabrication processes, and both facto...

Recent Advances in Biomimetic Hydrogels for Bioelectronics and Human–Machine Interactions

Biomimetic hydrogels have emerged as versatile bioelectronic interface materials for bioelectronics and human–machine interfaces (HMIs), enabling mechanically compliant and multifunctional interactions between electronic devices and biological tissues. Inspired by the structures...

Fixed-excess simple paths in multidimensional king graphs

Let K_{d,n} = P_n^{⊠d} be the d-fold strong product of a path, with opposite corners s and t. For k ≥ 0, let C_{d,k}(n) count simple s–t paths with n − 1 + k edges. Coordinate deficits show that every such path has at most dk moves other than the positive main diagonal. We prove...

Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii, Brandt, 1869) the Relationship Between Genetic Resources and Acclimatization: Ecology, Conservation, and the Nutritional Significance of Meat and Caviar

The Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii, Brandt, 1869) is a potamodromous freshwater species with major ecological and commercial importance. Natural populations across the main Siberian River basins have declined so severely that the species is now classified as Critically Endan...

Dispersion-informed structure–property relationships in carbon nanotube–reinforced polypropylene thermoplastic composites

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic nanocomposites were systematically investigated to examine how CNT dispersion and CNT–matrix interfacial interactions influence the coupled mechanical, rheological, and electrical behavior of multifunctional thermo...
