Traditional cognitive screening often relies on total scores, which can easily mask asynchronous impairment patterns across different cognitive domains. In particular, calculation ability, a sensitive indicator of executive function, is frequently misattributed to normal aging an...

To evaluate whether lateral lobe enucleation time is associated with postoperative urethral stricture after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). We retrospectively reviewed 519 HoLEP procedures performed between January 2023 and January 2025. To minimize operator- a...

Emergency Departments (EDs) and Burn Intensive Care Units (BICUs) frequently care for critically ill patients who may require comfort-focused, end-of-life support. Yet palliative care integration in these traditionally non-palliative environments remains limited. This gap raises...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a significant public health challenge in Iraq, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of the national hepatitis B control plan. This study aimed to assess the epidemiological trends of HBV in Iraq from 2015 to 2022 and evaluate the implementation...

Development of a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach for monitoring marine port environments
Monitoring is an essential tool to understand the environment, periodically check processes in place, and highlight the occurrence of natural or human-induced changes, especially in case of anthropic environments, such as ports and their water bodies. To ensure that as much infor...

The present study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative pathological upgrading in patients with biopsy Gleason score 6(bGS6), and to explore whether relevant clinical parameters can stratify patients at high risk of upgrading. A total of 241 patients wh...

Maize ( Zea mays L.) is the second most cultivated cereal worldwide, covers approximately 27% of global cereal acreage, and remains a cornerstone of global food security. Climate warming increasingly threatens its yield in rainfed systems, driving the need for agronomic and genet...
- Health & MedicineOpen access
Accidental extubation remains a significant clinical concern in airway management, particularly in emergency and anesthetic settings. While commercial tube holders have shown improved fixation stability over adhesive tape, cost and availability limit their use in many healthcare...

Ciliary body cysts are common incidental findings during preoperative screening for implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation. Although their presence is generally not considered a contraindication to surgery, cysts extending into the ciliary sulcus may influence haptic seatin...

Cochlear implants (CIs) provide effective rehabilitation for severe-to-profound hearing loss, yet their success is limited by secondary degeneration of auditory neurons. Direct transdifferentiation, which enables lineage conversion of somatic cells into neural stem cells without...

A framework for sharing images with limited regions of sensitive information
This paper introduces a novel framework that integrates image encryption and secret sharing to facilitate the secure sharing of confidential images, such as identification documents, financial records, medical images, and traffic violation images, which often contain limited regi...

Celangulin V is a widely used biopesticide derived from Celastrus angulatus, and features antifeedant and insecticidal properties as a dihydro-β-agarofuran (DHβAF) sesquiterpenoid. Its biosynthesis remains largely unexplored. Here, we assemble a chromosome-level and haplotype-res...

Infected peanuts were subjected to various radiation doses (0–10 kGy) to evaluate their effects on microbial populations, physicochemical parameters (including phytosterols, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds, total soluble protein, and malondialdehyde levels), and aflato...
- Health & MedicineOpen access
Clinical periodontal parameters are widely used to evaluate treatment outcomes in intrabony defects, but they do not directly reflect post-treatment radiographic trabecular texture changes. This retrospective longitudinal study aimed to evaluate clinical periodontal outcomes and...
