Physical workload and task efficiency across four mannequin towing techniques in water rescue

Direct in-water rescue is a safety-critical task in which towing technique and rescue-support equipment may influence both rescuer workload and task output. This study compared physical workload, towing performance and physiological economy across four mannequin towing techniques...

A brucellosis-associated vasculopathy presenting with focal neurological deficit: a case report in a pediatric patient with unique imaging

Brucellosis is the most prevalent bacterial zoonosis worldwide. While neurobrucellosis occurs in 5–7% of the affected adults, it is a rare pediatric complication, with an estimated incidence of 0.8%. Limited knowledge of its presentations, diagnosis, and management leads to a sig...

Impact of a multi-strain probiotic in real-world women with perimenopause symptoms: a single-arm, virtual pilot study

Perimenopause is characterised by fluctuating ovarian hormones and a heterogeneous, multisystem symptom profile that can substantially impair quality of life (QoL). Non-hormonal management options remain limited for those unable/unwilling to use hormone replacement therapy. Emerg...

Opening editorial for the BMC Anesthesiology collection: recent advances in anesthesia for congenital cardiac diseases

Congenital cardiac anesthesia has evolved substantially over recent decades, contributing to improving outcomes and survival for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). BMC Anesthesiology has initiated a new Collection, Recent Advances in Anesthesia for Congenital Cardiac D...

State Viability as a Criterion for the Quality of Domestic and Foreign Policy: Real and Informational Dimensions

This article examines State Viability as a possible complementary criterion for evaluating the quality of domestic and foreign policy within the framework of Vitology. Contemporary policy evaluation commonly considers economic performance, institutional effectiveness, national se...

Identification of key genes related to phagocytic regulatory factors in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: transcriptome and single cell combined analysis

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease. Disturbed phagocytic regulation may affect lipid clearance, inflammatory balance, and cell-cell communication during disease progression, but phagocytosis regulatory factors (PRFs) in NAFLD have not been...

Delayed diagnosis of intrauterine tuberculosis during mid-pregnancy leading to fetal loss and maternal disseminated tuberculosis: a case report and literature review

Atypical pregnancy symptoms lead to delayed diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), resulting in serious harm to both the fetus and mother. We reported a patient with recurrent vaginal bleeding in mid-pregnancy accompanied by persistent low fever. Labor was induced after failed preservat...

A narrative review of Zika virus cardiotropism and atrial fibrillation from pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges to inflammation aware management

Systemic inflammation is a key driver of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the mechanisms linking specific viral triggers to arrhythmogenesis are not fully understood. Zika virus (ZIKV) infection, which can induce a significant inflammatory response, provides a compelling clinical mo...

Geospatial insights into urban heat dynamics from Gurugram’s land use transitions

Gurugram, on the southern fringe of the Indian National Capital Region, has changed in two decades from an agrarian periphery into one of the densest concentrations of corporate-led built-up land in northern India. This study discusses how that transition has reshaped the city’s...

Development and multicenter validation of a predictive nomogram for infection risk in patients with multiple myeloma

To explore the key influencing factors of the risk of nosocomial infection in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), to construct a prediction model to effectively assess the risk of infection, and to provide a basis for individualized infection prevention and control. 245 patients...

The impact of environmental, social, and governance uncertainty and economic growth on green energy management in the United States

Green energy is no longer merely an environmental priority for the United States; it has become a strategic pathway for sustainable development shaped by environmental, social, and governance uncertainty (ESGU) and economic growth (ECG). Against this background, this study examin...

Crestal total tissue thickness as a potential predictor of early gingival recession after anterior immediate implant placement and provisionalization: a retrospective study

To preliminarily evaluate total tissue thickness at the level of the alveolar ridge crest (TT RC ) as a potential preoperative predictor of early gingival recession (GR) following immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) in the maxillary aesthetic zone. This retr...

ESC / HSC — Energy Stabilization Cycle / Human Stabilization Cycle: A Unified 4-Stack Framework (Perspective)

Traditional models treat biological, psychological, and social stability as separate domains (Schrödinger, 1944; Prigogine and Stengers, 1984). We propose a single thermodynamic law operating across scales: the Energy Stabilization Cycle / Human Stabilization Cycle (ESC/HSC). ESC...

Knowledge of and preferred legal grounds for abortion in Kenya: a national cross-sectional telephone survey

Inadequate knowledge of abortion law in restrictive settings impedes women’s access to safe services and engenders poor abortion perception and stigma among the general population. There is limited understanding of the public’s knowledge and support for abortion in Kenya. This st...

Need-responsive accessibility supports equitable sustainable development and reshapes migration as evolving human needs

Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals’ commitment to “leave no one behind” requires accessibility that responds to evolving human needs, yet prevailing accessibility assessments remain static and sector-specific, overlooking hierarchical need evolution and behavioral feedba...

Association between high triglyceride-glucose index status and one-year all-cause mortality in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm: a MIMIC-IV cohort study

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is widely used as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance and has been associated with a range of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, its role in the longer-term prognosis of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), particularly on...

Exploratory cumulative genetic scores for mathematical ability moderate the relationship between parental educational involvement and children’s mathematical ability: a four-wave longitudinal study

This study investigated the concurrent and longitudinal interaction effects of parental educational involvement and the cumulative genetic scores (CGS) of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) potentially related to mathematical ability on children’s mathematical ability, a...

EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE HAUSDORFF DERIVATIVE FRACTIONAL THERMISTOR PROBLEM

In this work, we examine the existence of solutions for the fractional thermistor problem involving the Hausdorff derivative. Our approach leads to a generalized thermistor model formulated within the framework of Hausdorff fractional calculus. To establish the existence of solut...
