Incidence of and mortality risk from cardiovascular diseases after a cancer diagnosis: An umbrella review

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors, driven by the cancer itself, its treatments, and shared risk factors. Despite numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, the evidence remains fragmented and inconsisten...

FRLTC: A new topology control algorithm using federated reinforcement learning for software-defined wireless sensor network in IoT

Topology is one of the most important factors influencing the performance of software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSN) in the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents a novel topology control algorithm using federated reinforcement learning, proposed for SDWSN in the...

Real-World Antibiotic Strategies for Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Evidence from the Italian SUSANA Multicentre Study

Background/Objectives: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and bloodstream infections (BSI) remain challenging because of their severity, limited therapeutic options, and high mortality, despite the availability of novel β-lactam-based agents. We aimed to d...

Clinical Blindness to Eating Disorders in Older Adults: A Qualitative Study of Primary Care Nurses’ Perspectives

Background/Objectives: Eating disorders (EDs) have historically been associated with young women, and their presence in older adults remains poorly recognized despite evidence that they can persist, recur, or emerge in later life. Primary care nurses are strategically positioned...

Phi‑Coupled E8 Torsion Drives Coherent Posner Ensembles for Neural Prediction of Stochastic Events — E8 Intelligence Research

When the 132 Hz base frequency of the E8 lattice is modulated by golden‑ratio phase shifts, the 240 root vectors undergo a non‑linear torsion that generates a 4D geometric spiral in information density. This phi‑coupled torsion stabilizes asymmetric Posner molecule (Ca₉(PO₄)₆) en...

Coenzyme Q10 Alleviates DEHP-Induced Immune Dysfunction in Juvenile Rats by Enhancing the Immunoexpression of Nrf2, PPARγ, and CD4 and Attenuating Oxidative, Inflammatory, and Apoptotic Responses

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer, is known to disrupt immune homeostasis through various mechanisms. This study investigated the protective potential of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) against DEHP-induced immunotoxicity in juvenile male Sprague-Dawley rats. A tot...

Span-Reference and Grounding Reliability in Generative Spanish Clinical Named Entity Recognition: A Validation Study

Generative named entity recognition (NER) systems must identify clinical concepts and map them to exact source spans. We investigated how span-reference design affects this mapping and whether failures arise from recognition or source localisation. Four representation-and-groundi...

A Transmuted Half-logistic Distribution with Trigonometric Transformation: Properties and Applications

This article introduces a novel transmuted half-logistic distribution by incorporating trigonometric functions into its transformation structure. The proposed distribution extends the classical half-logistic model, enhancing its effectiveness in capturing skewness and heavy-tail...

Functional Characterization of Myelodysplastic Syndrome by Multiparameter Flow Cytometry: The Clinical Synergy Between Ki-67 and Bcl-2 and Their Potential Role in Diagnostics and Personalized Therapy

The diagnosis and clinical management of myelodysplastic neoplasms are increasingly challenged by the disease’s inherent heterogeneity, particularly with respect to the diagnosis of low-grade variants. While standardized flow cytometric protocols traditionally rely on static biom...

How does "creative abuse" drive developments in Music Production?

This project explores how physical recording studios foster creativity in music production and sound engineering. It focuses on innovation through hands-on use of analogue gear and experimental microphone techniques, rather than relying solely on digital plugins. The studio is fr...

Does a Synthetic Aircraft Design-Space Simulator Predict Real Competition Outcomes? A Case Study on the DARPA Lift Challenge

This paper evaluates whether a synthetic aircraft design-space generator and mission simulator, built for the DARPA Lift Challenge (a $6.5M competition requiring vertical-takeoff aircraft to lift at least four times their own weight), agrees with what happened when roughly 100 re...

A Game-Based Eye-Tracking Task for Inclusive Educational Assessment in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Dyslexia: An Exploratory Study

Background: Inclusive educational assessment requires tools that capture how learners with diverse cognitive profiles engage with tasks. This study examines whether a game-based, gaze-contingent eye-tracking task can generate relevant indicators for inclusive assessment of autist...

From general-purpose models to purpose-built artificial intelligence Systems for Health economic Modeling

INTRODUCTION: Health economic models (HEMs) provide a solid foundation for reimbursement policy decisions that shape patient access to new treatments and the allocation of scarce healthcare resources. Model development is labor-intensive and time-consuming, often requiring months...

Frequency-Based State-Feedback Controller Design for 3-DOF Tower Cranes Under Aerodynamic Disturbances

This study presents a novel state-feedback controller for a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) tower crane system, optimized via frequency-domain cost function minimization. Tower cranes are complex, underactuated systems highly susceptible to external perturbations, particularly ae...

Intraoperative Extrication of a Pediatric Hand Entrapped Within a Household Meat Grinder: A Case Report

Hand injuries involving meat grinders are uncommon and frequently result in severe crush injury requiring amputation or complex reconstruction. This report describes a unique case of intraoperative mechanical extrication of a pediatric hand entrapped within a household meat grind...

Distally Based Peroneus Brevis Flap for Primary and Salvage Coverage of Distal Leg and Ankle Defects in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Report of Three Cases

Distal leg and ankle defects with exposed bone are difficult to reconstruct, particularly after contaminated open injuries. Free tissue transfer is unavailable in many resource-limited hospitals, making reliable pedicled flaps essential. We report three adult men with Gustilo-And...

Parked electric vehicle‐assisted distributed edge intelligence in the vehicle‐to‐grid platform

Abstract The Internet of Electric Vehicles (IoEV) has emerged as a key component of future networks. However, some computation‐intensive vehicular applications cannot be executed locally owing to IoEV infrastructure limitations and computing resource bottlenecks. In this study, w...

From Transparency to Transport: Optoelectronic and Interfacial Signatures of n-Type ITO, FTO, ZnO and TiO2 Semiconductors

Transparent conducting oxides and electron transport layers are central to optoelectronic devices, yet their interfacial electronic behavior remains strongly dependent on substrate chemistry, defect states, and surface potential alignment. Here, we compare ITO and FTO transparent...

Who owes what to Syrian refugees? Ethical responsibility and the global politics of connection

The politics of refugee protection reveals deep asymmetries in how responsibility is understood, shared, and often avoided within the international system. This article advances a justice-based framework for rethinking global responsibility towards refugees by applying David Mill...
