Restoring microbial relations and landscapes: a relational conceptual framework for fermentation, culture, and health equity

Introduction: Biodiversity decline in both external environments and internal human microbiomes indicates disrupted relationships between humans, microbes, food systems, and ecological landscapes. These interconnected landscapes are important for global health and sustainability...

A synthetic 3D human cerebrovascular model informed by histology for simulating the cortical depth-dependent BOLD fMRI signal

Recent advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using the blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) signal at ultra-high field (≥7T) permit mesoscopic investigations of neurovascular function. However, interpreting the BOLD signal remains challenging because it is...

A meta-analysis of the relationship between circulating microRNA-126 and coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Circulating microRNA-126 (miR-126) has been implicated in vascular biology, yet evidence regarding its association with CAD remains inconsistent. Previous studies were limited by small sample s...

Predictive factors of hospital case-fatality in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal subtype of stroke, accounting for approximately 20% of all stroke cases, and has a high early mortality rate, largely because effective acute treatments are limited compared with ischemic stroke. Identifying reliable predictors of...

Unilateral isolated fallopian tube torsion: a rare case report from Syria

Importance and introduction: Fallopian tube torsion is a rare gynecologic emergency that often mimics other causes of acute abdominal or adnexal pain. Its diagnosis is challenging because symptoms and imaging findings are typically nonspecific, especially in women with previous p...

The evolution of genetic drift over 50,000 generations

Abstract Random variation in reproductive success–genetic drift–profoundly shapes genetic diversity and evolutionary trajectories. The strength of drift depends on the variance in descendant number, σ2d, which governs key evolutionary outcomes: for instance, the establishment pro...

The Discipline That Cannot Be Delegated

Three essays preceded this one. The first argued that ideology does not destroy intelligence but captures it, turning a capable mind to the service of a premise it is forbidden to examine. The second distinguished a mistake, the mis-grasp of something already held, from an error,...

Considerations from a pilot study: Informing future research on gender and sexuality diverse autistic students' perspectives of Internet threats

Abstract Autistic students often face unique challenges related to Internet threats. When intersected with gender and sexuality diversity, challenges can compound and lead to increased risk of bullying, discrimination, marginalisation and exclusion. Although there is an intersect...

Evaluation of Photovoltaic Module Enhancer Performance: Examining a New Factor for Cost and Energy Effectiveness

Photovoltaic (PV) enhancement technologies, including cooling systems, reflectors, and tracking mechanisms, are widely employed to improve the electrical performance of PV systems. However, the effectiveness of these technologies should be evaluated not only in terms of performan...

Asymptomatic Hirata syndrome with thionamide use – An underdiagnosed entity

ABSTRACT Hirata syndrome or autoimmune hypoglycemia is a rare cause of hypoglycemia. Patients usually present multiple episodes of postprandial hypoglycemia, usually associated with neuroglycopenic symptoms. This condition has been previously described with multiple drugs such as...

Experimental Verdict Governance for Quantum Traction Theory

When does an experimental null actually count against a theory? An experimental verdict is meaningful only when the intended physical object was built, ordinary alternatives were controlled, the covariance and power were adequate, and the analysis was frozen before the target was...

Hypertension Management in Pregnancy and Postpartum

Abstract Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 9% of pregnancies in the United States and are a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. For nephrologists, these conditions sit at a critical intersection: chronic kidney disease is among the strongest...

Global Optimization Design of Large-Scale Constellations for Maritime Target Detection Based on Circular Scanning Radar

Traditional Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation design methods, primarily driven by geometric coverage, fail to satisfy the non-uniform and dynamic tracking requirements of moving targets. To address this, a multi-objective optimization framework for large-scale satelli...

Multistream Vision Transformer Fusion with Stain-Physics Priors for Reliable Colorectal Histopathology Classification

Discriminating hyperplastic polyps from sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) in colorectal histopathology is clinically consequential, with documented interpathologist agreement of only κ≈0.56. Existing deep‑learning approaches treat hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images as entangled RGB...

Investigating Mycoplasma wenyonii and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematobovis coinfection patterns in cattle from southwestern France reveals strain-specific traits

Abstract Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) infecting cattle were first detected in France in 2019 during a clinical outbreak, but their prevalence both at the species and strain levels remains unknown. This study therefore aimed to determine the prevalence of hemoplasmas and t...

The effect of digital literacy training for women in menopause on health literacy and quality of life: A randomized controlled trial

Menopause is a critical stage in a woman’s life and is often accompanied by multiple physical and psychosocial challenges. Access to accurate health information is essential for symptom management and well-being; however, increasing reliance on digital platforms may expose women...

Education in a World of Broken Feedback Loops Haynes’ Keynote, PESA 2025

This essay uses “feedback” in the ecosystem sense of a flow of information, energy, or matter from a system’s output that, in a closed system, affects the input. Most of the systems in which we liv...

Helicopter Ditching According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency CS-29

This paper outlines the methodology and results of scale-model tests of a helicopter ditching maneuver. The experimental campaign aims to support the study and certification of helicopters for maritime operations, in accordance with the requirements set by the European Union Avia...
