Comparative Evaluation of Prognostic Scoring Systems for Metastatic Spinal Tumors: Utility of the New Katagiri and Skeletal Oncology Research Group Models

Background: Prognostic models for metastatic spinal tumors have evolved from conventional point-based scores to models incorporating treatment, laboratory, and machine-learning variables. However, comparisons in contemporary Japanese surgical cohorts remain limited. Methods: This...

Development of WGL‐1487 (Telangana Vari‐8), a High‐Yielding, Low‐Phosphorus‐Tolerant Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) Variety Possessing OsPSTOL1 ( Pup1 ) Through Marker‐Assisted Backcross Breeding

ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) deficiency remains one of the most critical factors restricting rice yield in India, with popular cultivars like MTU‐1121 particularly vulnerable to low‐P soils. To enhance P‐use efficiency while retaining the preferred grain and agronomic features of MTU‐...

Integrated Proteomic and Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals Dysregulated Inflammatory Signaling Networks in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Aberrant protein phosphorylation orchestrates sustained inflammatory immune signaling in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), yet the coordinated remodeling of proteomic and phosphoproteomic landscapes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) remains poorly resolved via system-level m...

To Lengthen or Revise: Reevaluating Anterior Acetabular Overhang Thresholds in Iliopsoas Impingement After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Background: Iliopsoas impingement (IPI) is a known cause of persistent anterior hip pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Management of IPI has often relied on an 8-mm anterior acetabular overhang threshold to guide operative treatment, favoring acetabular revision for gre...

From Individual Chatbot Interaction to the Virtual Tutor with Physical Presence: Comparing Educational Interaction Models with Conversational AI

Conversational artificial intelligence can provide individual study support, but the educational significance of its responses depends on how they are examined and used. We develop a conceptual framework comparing Individual Chatbot Interaction and Standard Classroom Interaction,...

Multi-decadal assessment of wave power and variability from satellite altimetry observations in Ireland

Thirty years of observations from a calibrated multi-mission satellite altimetry dataset are employed to assess the Irish wave power density (energy flux) as well as its long-term variability. The significant wave height and the back-scatter coefficient measured by the altimeters...

High Coverage Does Not Guarantee Regression Detection: A Target-Blind Audit of Representative Task Panels for Versioned AI Coding Agents

Re-evaluating versioned artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents is expensive, motivating small task panels that represent a full benchmark. We audit whether such representativeness predicts regression-screening value (a regression is a task the previous configuration solved an...

Physical, Chemical, and Organoleptic Characteristics of Udon Substituted with Kimpul Tuber Flour in Various Treatments: Flour Concentration and Resting Time

Udon is kind a type of Japanese noodle made from wheat protein with a larger size and chewier texture characteristic than basic noodle. Optimizing local agricultural commodities by utilizing kimpul tubers as a substitute is an effort to reduce wheat import activities. Udon has sp...

Resilience, self-efficacy, and professional quality of life among emergency department nurses: a cross-sectional study

Nurses, as frontline healthcare providers in crisis and emergency settings, are frequently exposed to high levels of occupational stress. Resilience and self-efficacy are considered important psychological resources that may influence nurses’ professional quality of life and psyc...

Microstructural and Mechanical Characterization of ER310 Stainless Steel Produced by Dual-Wire Laser Additive Manufacturing

Wire Laser Additive Manufacturing (WLAM) has emerged as a promising directed energy deposition technology, combining the high deposition efficiency of wire-fed processes with the localized heat input and dimensional accuracy provided by laser processing. However, studies on heat-...

From microbial tryptophan metabolism to crystal injury: an IPA – AhR checkpoint in calcium oxalate nephropathy

Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis is commonly viewed as a consequence of urinary supersaturation, although crystal retention and renal injury are also influenced by gut microbiota dysbiosis and local tissue environment. In a recent study by Li et al, published in The Journal of Pat...

Competitive Behavior of Polar and Nonpolar Shale Oil During CO2-Induced Mobilization in Water-Bearing Nanopores

Abstract The efficiency of CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in shale reservoirs is critically influenced by formation water and the complex chemistry of the crude oil. However, the roles of components in shale oil and its underlying mechanisms are lacking. In this work, molecular...

An Agent Framework for Land Resource Monitoring and Analysis

This paper proposes an agent framework for land resource monitoring and analysis. The framework organizes and encapsulates domain knowledge and operational workflows into standardized skill units, enabling the agent to perform task planning, execution, and reflection under skill-...

Potassium isotopes reveal lithospheric control on the evolution of deep-sourced carbonated silicate magmas

Kimberlites and related CO2-rich ultramafic rocks such as aillikites commonly show Nd-Hf isotope decoupling (unradiogenic εHf at a given εNd), attributed to either recycled oceanic slabs or interaction with metasomatized continental lithospheric mantle (CLM). We present potassium...

Wavelet-Enhanced Deep Learning for Multi-Variable Meteorological Time-Series Forecasting in Togo

Accurate short-term forecasting of meteorological variables remains a major challenge in tropical regions characterized by strong diurnal variability, seasonal transitions, intermittent atmospheric fluctuations, and highly non-stationary temporal dynamics. This study proposes a h...

Meaningful goal setting for communication disorders in acute hospital care: expanding the FOURC model

Background The FOURC model was developed to guide collaborative goal setting between speech-language pathologists and their adult clients (Haley et al. 2019). It was first implemented in outpatient clinics for clients recovering with poststroke aphasia. Here, we present an extens...

Weaving a theory of change: mapping the pathway for Peer Support implementation in community mental health services in Brazil through co-produced participatory workshops

Abstract Background Peer Support (PS) has gained increasing recognition as a recovery-oriented practice in mental health services by valuing the experiential knowledge of individuals with lived experience of psychological distress. While PS has been widely implemented in high-inc...

Autophagy regulates the hepatic protein acetylation through modulating acetyl-CoA metabolite

Abstract Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for hepatic protein function and signaling. While autophagy regulates the hepatic proteome through degradation and transcriptional control, its role in PTMs remains unclear. Using genetic and pharmacological models, w...

Fault-tolerant control of bionic robotic fish based on a hybrid Bayesian-Northern Goshawk Optimization framework

When bionic robotic fish operate in complex environments, central pattern generator units are prone to lock-up faults, which can severely degrade locomotion controllability. To address these issues, this study proposes a bio-inspired fault-tolerant proportional–integral–derivativ...
