Too Early to Tell: Why the Evidence Cannot Yet Say Whether AI Is Making Things Better or Worse

Public feeling about AI is strong and mostly fearful, yet the discussion rarely touches measured evidence, and almost all of the evidence that exists describes how AI is built, not what it does. Following the method Hans Rosling used in Factfulness, this study maps the record as...

Machine learning-based prediction of postoperative restenosis risk following direct repair of paediatric coarctation of the aorta

OBJECTIVES: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital cardiovascular disease with focal aortic luminal narrowing, and paediatric patients face a high postoperative restenosis risk. This study aimed to develop and validate an interpretable machine learning model for early predictin...

Prevalence and factors associated with e-cigarettes consumption among adolescents: A cross-sectional analysis in Latin America and the Caribbean

E-cigarette use among adolescents has increased globally; however, there is little evidence about usage patterns and their associated factors in Latin America and the Caribbean. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and evaluate the factors associated with e-cigarette use a...

La atención a la vejez y la estrategia de desarrollo de China

Resumen Mas allá de la situación demográfica particular que se está manifestando en la sociedad china con baja tasa de natalidad e incremento de la ciudadanía con más de sesenta años, la idiosincrasia milenaria del pueblo chino manifiesta un alto cariño y respeto por sus adultos...

Impact of red blood cell transfusion on clinical and hematological outcomes in hospitalized patients

Blood transfusion is a vital healthcare therapy and lifesaving procedure, yet research on its effects has shown mixed results, with some studies in Ghana questioning its appropriate use. This study aimed to assess the clinical and hematological effects of red blood cell transfusi...

Ringing the Bell in Cancer Care: A Scoping Review of Patients’, Caregivers’, and Healthcare Professionals’ Experiences and Implications for Oncology Nursing

BACKGROUND: Bell-ringing rituals mark the end of active cancer treatment in oncology settings worldwide. Despite their growing prevalence, their emotional and clinical implications across patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals remain underexplored. OBJECTIVE: To map a...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Machine-Learning Analyses Identify Shared Na+ Overload-Related Gene Signatures in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exhibit substantial pathophysiological overlap, including dysregulated innate immunity, barrier dysfunction, and Th17-mediated inflammation. However, whether Na+ overload-related genes (NRGs) exhibit sha...

Designing separation and uplift: structural problem-solving in brassiere design, 1890s–1970s

Purpose Breast separation and uplift are frequently cited objectives in brassiere design, yet they are rarely examined as explicit structural design mechanisms within textile and apparel research. Existing studies typically address these outcomes indirectly through evaluations of...

Prospective Head‐To‐Head Comparison of a 10‐Color Single‐Tube Flow Cytometry and EuroFlow Next‐Generation Flow in Multiple Myeloma Minimal Residual Disease

BACKGROUND: Minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment by next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) is an important prognostic tool in multiple myeloma (MM). Although the EuroFlow NGF assay provides highly standardized and sensitive MRD detection, its dual-tube workflow requires larger...

Prognostic significance of isolated tumor cells and nodal tumor burden in endometrial cancer: a population-based cohort study

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Since the introduction of sentinel lymph node biopsy, nodal assessment has expanded to nearly all women with endometrial cancer. However, evidence on the prognostic significance of isolated tumor cells (ITCs) and nodal tumor burden remains limited. We ther...

Can Publicly Available Information Predict the Popularity of Library Materials? A Machine Learning-Based Approach Using Open Loan Data from Public Libraries in South Korea

Recommendation systems in public libraries rely on loan data skewed toward past popularity, making it difficult for unborrowed and newly published titles to reach users. Hence, we propose and evaluate a machine learning-based approach predicting library material popularity using...

A Body Within a Body — Pregnancy, Personhood, and Inner Jurisdiction

This essay examines pregnancy as an embodied relation between unequal scales of life and asks how moral responsibility can recognize developing life without transferring jurisdiction over the pregnant body to another person or the state. It proposes inner jurisdiction—not as abso...

Toward a Metafunctional Theory of Memory: Recursive Triadic Architecture, Temporal Metabinding, and Mnemonic Worldhood

This preprint develops the Metafunctional Theory of Memory (MTM) within the broader Brain Metafunction Framework (BMF). The MTM conceptualizes memory as the organism-level metafunction of continuity organization: the process through which past-derived structures remain operative,...

Managing Osgood-Schlatter disease in an adolescent with homoeopathy: A case report

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a common cause of anterior knee pain in physically active adolescents. OSD typically presents with a gradual, non-traumatic onset of knee pain localised to the insertion of the patella tendon at the tibial tuberosity. This self-limiting condition...

XrayCLIP: A VLM-Based X-Ray Security Inspection System for Railway Safety

Efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation as a therapy for sarcopenia in people on haemodialysis: study protocol for the STIM-HD randomised controlled trial

Abstract Background Sarcopenia is highly prevalent among adults receiving haemodialysis and is associated with reduced physical function, impaired quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality. Although structured exercise programmes can improve muscle health, most peopl...

Estimating the Importance of Floating Surface Material to the Total Phosphorus Transport in Silver Creek, Wisconsin Using Particle Image Velocimetry

Various techniques are used to estimate nutrient delivery in streams that combine flow and water-quality data. However, the transport of surface floating material is difficult to measure, and is therefore typically neglected when stream sampling and in the estimated nutrient deli...
