Occupational access to firearms and firearm-related suicide among US workers.
Objective: To examine the association between occupational access to firearms and firearm-related suicide, adjusting for worker demographics and rural residence. Methods: We conducted a mortality case-control study using National Violent Death Reporting System data (2013-2023). O...

Fluorine-InducedElimination Drives Mechanism-BasedInactivation of Isocitrate Lyase
Abstract Fluorinated succinate analogues were evaluated as mechanistic probes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isocitrate lyase (MtICL). However, 2,2-difluorosuccinate (1; Ki = 6.1 mM) and 2,2,3-trifluorosuccinate (2; Ki = 23.5 μM) act as reversible noncompetitive inhibitors and mes...

Cancer-associated myositis: a single-centre 20-year experience
BACKGROUND: Malignancy identified around the onset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is referred to as cancer-associated myositis (CAM), but population-specific data remain relatively limited. AIM: To describe the prevalence, clinical features, and risk factors for CAM ov...

ECL₃^Q as an Instance of a General Logical Framework: Preliminary Results
This note reports preliminary results from an ongoing effort to place ECL₃^Q — a three-valued epistemic causal logic with an ontological (not epistemic) third value U, developed independently in Paper I — inside a more general classificatory framework for many-valued and non-clas...
