As our results show that very few published variants could currently be considered causative of DFNB due to lack of precise clinical studies, strict and uniform criteria should be applied by authors publishing on USH/DFNB genes.

ABSTRACT Background The assessment of stable coronary artery disease has been performed using the first‐phase ejection fraction (EF1) in previous research. However, the use of EF1 has seldom been employed in the evaluation of early left ventricular systolic dysfunction among pati...

The 5-Bit Eisenstein-Norm CRT: A 96 Ops/Cycle Inference Engine for Binary Silicon
This document presents a reduced arithmetic representation for the Eisenstein-Norm CRT framework. By decreasing the lane width from 10 bits to 5 bits (3 mantissa bits and 2 exponent bits), the number of independent lanes per 64-bit word doubles from 6 to 12, achieving a peak thro...

De-familialization of care and the emerging crisis of unmet needs among older adults in South Korea
Unmet long-term care (LTC) needs are a critical policy indicator for aging societies. Using repeated cross sectional data from the nationally representative National Survey of Older Koreans (2014 and 2023), we examined changes in unmet LTC needs among community-dwelling older adu...

Abstract Background Organisational culture, defined as the shared values, assumptions, and norms that influence behaviour within organisations, is widely recognised as a key determinant of patient safety in healthcare systems. Within acute care settings, medication safety represe...

Gut Microbiomes of Two Bamboo Locusts Reveal Divergent Metabolic Potentials
ABSTRACT The yellow‐spined bamboo locust ( Ceracris kiangsu ) and the green‐spined bamboo locust ( Ceracris nigricornis ) are two common bamboo‐feeding forestry pests in China. C. kiangsu has stronger migratory capacity and causes greater damage, yet comparative studies of their...

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective surgical intervention for morbid obesity, yet early hormonal changes contributing to metabolic adaptation remain underexplored. The objective of this study was to evaluate the early postoperative changes in the energy-regulati...

FINDING: Sunflower phyllotaxis is governed by the golden angle (≈137.507°), producing Fibonacci spiral counts (13, 21, 34) that maximize seed packing efficiency; Voronoi tessellation of such patterns yields near-hexagonal cells, bridging discrete growth rules to continuous geomet...

A Control-Barrier-Certified Zero-Escape Safety Clamp for a Compact Spherical-Tokamak Breeder
A deterministic, control-barrier-certified safety clamp providing a provable zero-escape guarantee for the compact spherical-tokamak breeder operating envelope. A robust, disturbance-tightened control-barrier-function filter with a closed-form separable solution wraps an arbitrar...

On the Finiteness of Relative Equilibria in Celestial Mechanics and Smale's 6th Problem
This preprint provides an exhaustive 8-page mathematical monograph on Smale's 6th Problem (Steve Smale, 2000), dedicated to the finiteness of relative equilibria (planar central configurations) in the Newtonian N-body problem. Smale's 6th problem asks whether the number of relati...

ABSTRACT Scour development around offshore monopiles in the Eastern Mouth Tidal Delta (EMTD) of the Qiongzhou Strait was investigated based on field observations of bathymetry, hydrodynamic conditions and sediment grain size. The results reveal pronounced spatial variability in s...

The universe operates as a dynamic geometric substrate, a continuous, tension-bearing field whose stable and metastable configurations produce every particle, force, and interaction catalogued by modern physics. All quantum phenomena historically labeled "weird," "probabilistic,"...

Placebo and nocebo effects on pain provide a model for investigating how cognitive and contextual factors modulate the physiological processes underlying nociception and its regulation. However, existing accounts remain fragmented and lack a unifying mechanistic framework linking...

Metamodernism Manifesto is a short illustrated essay that defines metamodernism through a single organising question: how much trust does an artist place in reality? Its opening claim is deliberately plain — reality has not become more complicated; we have simply begun to notice...

Managing AI Projects Under Deep Uncertainty: An Adaptive Governance Framework for Project Managers
Artificial intelligence (AI) projects are frequently managed as if uncertainty were concentrated in execution: schedule, cost, resources, and delivery risk. Yet AI initiatives can remain uncertain at more fundamental levels, including whether the problem is correctly framed, whet...

Five years ago, at the age of 50, I received the diagnosis of Myhre Syndrome. A lifelong search for answers finally had a name. I thought getting this information would give me a clear treatment plan and prognosis. I was wrong. Instead, out of around 200 people worldwide, I becam...

Green synthesis of substituted imidazoles using oxalyl chloride
A novel, convenient and efficient approach to the synthesis of pyrrole and imidazole derivatives via the reaction between primary amines, isothiocyanate and oxalyl chloride is described. The method offers several advantages including high yields of products and performing reacti...
