The reliability of an artificial intelligence tool, ‘Decision Trees’, in emergency medicine triage

Abstract Purpose: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a significant challenge worldwide. Triage systems categorize patients according to the urgency of their clinical conditions to ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of clinical errors. The aim of this study was to...

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction following amitriptyline overdose: a case report

Background Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome) is a rare but serious condition characterized by marked colonic dilatation without mechanical obstruction. Anticholinergic medications, including tricyclic antidepressants, have been implicated as potential causes.Cas...

The Operator Geometry of Absolute Custodianship: Triadic Field Projection, the Marian Boundary Condition, and Structural Admissibility

This manuscript constructs a rigorous operator-theoretic framework that unifies triadic theological field projections with the mechanics of structural admissibility and spectral stability. Classical dogmatic models often treat triadic structures (Source/Father, Word/Son, Spirit/B...

(Short Paper09) Optimization Model of Sexual Differentiation and Clock Frequency Modulation (FM Modulation) in the In Vivo Analog Quantum Synchronizer (Bio-QPU) Paradigm

In the early development of mammals and humans, the fertilized egg develops its initial stages using a “fundamentally female morphology” as the standard prototype, regardless of genetic sex (XX/XY). In this paper, overcoming the metaphor that regards the biological system as a “d...

Confined Phase Transition Infiltration Coupled With In Situ Pore Sealing: Constructing Hard Carbon Rich in Closed Pore for Plateau‐Capacity‐Dominated Sodium Storage

Biomass‐derived hard carbon (HC) is a promising candidate for anode materials in sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, abundant open pores generated during activation process often lead to severe proliferation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and irreversible Na + consum...

Controlled Hydrogen Delivery by Single‐Atom Ru Accelerates Electrocatalytic Ammonia Synthesis

ABSTRACT Electrocatalytic nitric oxide reduction to ammonia (NORR) offers a dual opportunity for NO remediation and decentralized NH 3 production, yet its efficiency is often limited by competing pathways and unclear structure–function relationships. Here we introduce a reactant‐...

From Consumption Relief to Women-Led Productive Investment: Reframing Direct Cash Transfers, Women's Empowerment, and Electoral Welfare in India: A Theoretical Secondary-Data Research Framework

India's rapid expansion of women-targeted direct cash transfers has altered the interface between social protection, women's financial inclusion, and electoral competition. The central problem is not whether transfers provide immediate relief—they often do—but whether recurring c...

Staged Orthoplastic Soft-Tissue Reconstruction of Complex Tibial Fracture-Related Infection Using a Chimeric Anterolateral Thigh Free Flap After Failed Soleus Muscle Flap: A Case Report

A complex tibial fracture-related infection (FRI) after local-flap failure may require staged source control, dead-space management, and vascularized soft-tissue reconstruction. A 60-year-old man with type 2 diabetes developed FRI after an industrial injury causing a localized in...

Partnering With Generative Artificial Intelligence for Quantitative Data Analysis in Nursing Research: A Practical Workflow for Ethical Collaboration

Reproducibility and replicability are our scientific and ethical mandate, and the foundation of trust in nursing science and research. Both rest on transparent documentation of how data were actually analyzed. The rising use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in resear...

LABORATORY STUDY OF THE MEAN PLATELET VOLUME IN PATIENTS WITH LARYNGEAL CANCER BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY

The larynx is the area most affected by cancer in the head and neck, with an incidence rate of 100,000/5, and the number of deaths is estimated at 82,000 annually. The research aimed to study the laboratory parameters of the mean platelet volume (MPV), by studying the difference...

Hydrolysis of 1,4‐Butanediol‐Derived Polyesters Into Tetrahydrofuran and Dicarboxylic Acids Over Lewis Acidic Ionic Liquids

Chemical transformation of discarded polyesters into high‐value chemicals is of great significance for advancing circular economy and sustainable development. Herein, we report a facile and efficient strategy for one‐pot conversion of 1,4‐butanediol‐based polyesters (BDPs) via eq...

Physiological and Whole Blood Transcriptome Signatures Associated with Post-Release Residence in Female Yangtze Sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus)

Yangtze sturgeon is a rare and endemic sturgeon in China whose population restoration depends heavily on artificial propagation and stock enhancement. However, the physiological status of hatchery-origin broodstock after prolonged residence in natural river environments remains p...

The Narcissism, Entitlement, and Self-Esteem Conduit to Quiet Quitting

Quiet quitting has become a focus of employee engagement research, yet its psychological antecedents remain understudied. Trait grandiose narcissism (i.e., an inflated sense of self-importance) may be one such antecedent, driving entitlement (i.e., the belief in deserving prefere...

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Southwest Nigeria: A Data Gap at the Heart of Routine Urological Practice

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a histological diagnosis defined by unregulated proliferation of connective tissue, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelium within the prostate gland [...]

SPONTANEOUS INTRAVESICAL KNOTTING OF A CYSTOCATHETER IN A 75-YEAR-OLD MAN

Intravesical knotting is a rare complication of urinary catheterization that can make catheter exchange difficult. We report a case involving a 75-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus and recurrent urethral stricture after several unsuccessful endoscopic procedures. The pat...

Feasibility of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Children With High Grade/High Risk Cancer and Their Caregivers: Lessons Learned From a Pilot Randomized Control Trial

Background Children and young adults diagnosed with a high-grade/relapsed-refractory cancer face a poor prognosis given limited curative options. Recent research has indicated that this population of children and adolescents/young adults (AYAs), alongside their parents, experienc...

Insulation performance of polyimide/epoxy resin interface modified by silane coupling agent

High-frequency transformers use a composite insulation of epoxy resin (EP) bulk and polyimide (PI) inter-turn coating. The PI-EP interface is a weak point. To enhance interfacial stability, KH550 silane coupling agent is employed as a molecular bridge to form Si-O-C chemical bond...
