Kinetic principles of living anionic polymerization of isocyanates for constructing complex primary structures in helical polyisocyanates

Abstract Living anionic polymerization of isocyanates enabled the synthesis of well‐defined helical polyisocyanates. However, its potential to generate complex primary structures remained largely unexplored. The possibility that polyisocyanates could serve as artificial models of...

The impact of global influence on peace and stability conditions in G20 countries

Peace, cooperation, and stable relations among nations are essential for maintaining global stability. This study applies Power Transition Theory (PTT) to examine how global factors influence peace and stability conditions among G20 countries. It uses 16 years of data (2008–2023)...

An international multicentre observational cohort study of the clinical presentation of acute arboviral infection (ARIA): a study protocol

Abstract Background Despite the growing global burden of diseases caused by arboviruses, there remain substantial gaps in our understanding of the clinical presentation and natural history of arboviral infections, especially in the acute phase. There is a critical need for robust...

Safety and Outcomes of Image-Guided Transthoracic Lung Biopsy: Experience from a Single-Center Cohort Study

Objective: Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) under image guidance is a cornerstone technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Despite its high diagnostic accuracy, procedure-related complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, diagnostic yield,...

An Improved Droop Control Strategy for Primary Frequency Regulation in Islanded Microgrids Using Distributed Energy Storage

The large-scale integration of renewable energy generation into the grid has led to increased frequency fluctuations in the power grid. Distributed energy storage systems, with their rapid response times, serve as a critical resource for primary frequency regulation. Traditional...

Addiction recovery is more than abstinence—our metrics should be too

Value-based payment is reshaping U.S. healthcare by linking reimbursement to patient outcomes. Approximately 70% of health plans anticipate growth in value-based payment models over the next two years, with nearly 45% of their healthcare payments in 2024 already using value-based...

Real‐World Outcomes of Olaparib in Japanese Patients With BRCA ‐Mutated Metastatic Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer: Exploratory Analysis of BRCA2 Loss and Microsatellite Instability Status

OBJECTIVES: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer has a poor prognosis. Although olaparib has demonstrated efficacy in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations, real-world data in Japanese patients remain limited. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of olaparib in patie...

Spatial variation of the fish community in a mine tailings dam

Abstract It is expected that the spatial distribution of ichthyofauna in reservoirs within mining areas will be affected by environmental changes imposed by damming and the progressive deposition of tailings. In this context, we evaluated variations in the taxonomic and functiona...

Optimising body weight categories for para powerlifting using a modified evolutionary strategy

Objectives In select sports, bodyweight categories (BCs) serve to increase competitiveness and fairness. We aimed to analyse current Para Powerlifting BC impacts on performance-related factors and refine these for each sex. Methods Retrospective records; 2013–2023 ( n = 6802 athl...

Trop-2 overexpression as a prognostic marker in early triple-negative breast cancer: results from the GEICAM_CIBOMA trial

Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2) is a key therapeutic target in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its prognostic significance in early-stage disease remains poorly defined. We evaluated Trop-2 expression and its clinical impact within a sub-cohort of...

From Environmental Fate to Ecological Risk: A Review of Nitenpyram's Behavior, Degradation Pathways, and Ecotoxicity Impacts

Nitenpyram (NIT), a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, has gained attention due to its extensive use in agriculture and veterinary medicine and frequent detection in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Although considered relatively short-lived, evidence suggests NIT exhibi...

Association between disease awareness and prognosis in patients with glioblastoma

This study aimed to evaluate whether disease awareness among Chinese patients with glioblastoma was associated with prognosis. This single-center, retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients diagnosed with glioblastoma between February 2009 and August 2020. Disease a...

From informal hawkers to state employees: newspaper vendors’ labor incorporation and identity reconstruction in Shanghai, 1911–1956

This article examines the transformation of Shanghai’s newspaper vendors from marginalized hawkers to state workers between 1911 and 1956. Vendors operated in a guild-based, hierarchical system dominated by powerful wholesalers, functioning largely beyond state control through in...

The pseudonymous art of VTubing : an ethnographic study of indie VTubers performing in English-speaking contemporary online spaces

Although independent— “indie”—VTubers make up the majority of the VTubing subculture, they are collectively studied alongside corporate VTubers as part of the existing entertainment industry. As such, previous research has been primarily concerned with how the content produced th...

HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG CLIMATE-INDUCED COASTAL MIGRANTS IN BANGLADESH - A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Climate-induced displacement is driving millions of Bangladeshis to ecologically precarious char lands, yet health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among these migrants remains empirically underexamined. To quantify HRQoL across four WHOQOL-BREF domains and identify its key demogr...

Factors Affecting Postoperative Delirium in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

Background/Aim: As the population ages, the number of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing. It is also said that older adults are at higher risk of delirium. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for delirium after CRC surgery, and its impact on per...
