Surgical Outcomes of Terrible Triad Injuries of the Elbow in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Consecutive Case Series

Purpose To evaluate surgical outcomes of acute terrible triad injuries of the elbow treated without radial head prostheses or hinged external fixation and to identify factors associated with recovery in a resource-limited setting. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 30 of 151 eli...

Multimodal speech perception in noise after multisensory perceptual training in autistic children and adolescents

Abstract Autistic children and adolescents exhibit alterations in multisensory processing of simple audiovisual stimuli and complex speech stimuli. Multisensory perceptual training improves audiovisual simultaneity perception in typically developed adults, thereby facilitating sp...

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Mixed-species parasite infections are common in wildlife, yet the ecological processes that structure these communities remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that host-mediated and extrinsic environmental filtering, alongside biotic interactions, act concurrently to shape par...

Contrasting wave–surge dynamics under sea-level rise in the northern South China Sea

Typhoon-induced coastal flooding along southeastern China is governed by complex interactions among storm surges, waves, tides, and coastal morphology, while the contribution and response of wave-induced setup to sea-level rise (SLR) remain uncertain. Here, a high-resolution SCHI...

To be is to measure: Bohr and the participatory conditions of objectivity

Abstract Niels Bohr is standardly read as an instrumentalist or a cautious anti-realist. By way of a rational reconstruction, I argue that his philosophy of experiment advances a transcendental account of the conditions under which physical properties can count as objective at al...

Dried Urine Spots for Quantification of C0 (Free) Carnitine Excretion: A Validated Method for Follow-Up and Confirmatory Testing of Primary Carnitine Deficiency

Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD), caused by Organic Cation Transporter Novel 2 (OCTN2) deficiency, is detected by newborn screening (NBS) through low blood free carnitine (C0) concentrations. Confirmation of the diagnosis may be supported by demonstrating increased urinary C0 e...

Trends and disparities in sepsis-related mortality among patients with lung cancer in the United States: CDC WONDER 1999 to 2023

Abstract Background Patients with lung cancer are at increased risk of severe infection and sepsis because of tumor-related immune dysregulation, impaired pulmonary defense, and exposure to anticancer treatment. However, the long-term population-level patterns of sepsis-related m...

School Climate, Victimisation and Anti-Bullying Self-Efficacy: A Multilevel Study of Primary School Students

Bullying is a pervasive issue in schools, negatively impacting students’ psychological well-being, academic performance and social development. Understanding the factors that relate with students’ ability to cope with bullying is crucial for developing effective interventions. Th...

Understanding Firm Dynamics and Performance Under COVID-19

Abstract We use data from the 2020/21 Egyptian Industrial Firm Behavior Survey (EIFBS) to examine the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on firm dynamics and performance. To gain a deeper understanding, our second objective is to explore potential underlying correlates of firm dynamic...

Recurrent fetal holoprosencephaly due to maternally inherited ZIC2 gene deletion- a case report

Abstract Background Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common congenital malformation of the forebrain, caused by impaired cleavage of the prosencephalon. Prenatal ultrasound enables early screening, however, recurrence can be due to genetic causes. This study aimed to investiga...

Physics-Informed Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Joule Heating Activated Shape Recovery in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Shape Memory Epoxy Composites

Shape memory epoxy composites recover a programmed shape when Joule heating drives the matrix through its glass transition, and a key challenge for these smart materials is predicting the recovery angle at drive currents outside the tested range. In this work, three models were c...

Repurposing a commercial artificial intelligence vision platform for automated surgical instrument identification: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Background Retained surgical items are classified as never events but continue to occur, and the count meant to prevent them is often recorded as correct even when an item is retained. Computer vision could provide an independent check on what is on the instrument table,...

Spatiotemporal instability and topological bifurcations of a weakly elastic film flowing down a vertical fibre

This paper investigates the temporal, spatiotemporal and nonlinear instability of a weakly viscoelastic liquid film flowing down a vertical cylindrical fibre. The fluid is described by the Walters’ liquid B model, and the analysis combines long-wave asymptotic modelling, a long-w...

Dual targeting of cytochrome bd and bc1-aa3 terminal oxidases eradicates phenotypically diverse population of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Bedaquiline approval paved the way for the development of drug candidates against energy metabolism pathways of TB-causing organisms, and oxidative phosphorylation was proven to be a relevant target domain. While bedaquiline acts on the F 1 F 0 ATP synthase, Q203 targets the cyto...

Association Between Preoperative Tea Drinking Habits and Postoperative Ileus in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Propensity Score-Matched Study

Objective This study evaluated whether preoperative tea consumption reduces postoperative ileus risk after colorectal cancer surgery, given tea’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Methods In this retrospective cohort of 681 patients, tea drinkers (≥1 cup/day, n = 191)...

Addressing migration-related inequities in health: an expert narrative review of emerging patterns, myths and realities in a rapidly transforming world

Purpose This expert narrative review uses an integrated framework to examine interactions between infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), while challenging prevailing assumptions shaping migrant health narratives and policy. Design/methodology/approach This expe...

Intelligent robot-assisted care in critical care nursing: a concept analysis using Walker and Avant’s method

Abstract Background Robotic applications in critical care vary in capability, purpose and clinical integration, making their nursing-specific meaning difficult to compare. This study aimed to clarify the meaning, defining attributes and practice boundaries of intelligent robot-as...
