Adult Cervical Deformity: Contemporary Evaluation, Classification, and Surgical Decision-Making
➢ Standing full-spine radiographs are mandatory for cervical deformity evaluation; key alignment targets include cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA) of ≤40 mm, T1 slope minus cervical lordosis (T1S − CL) of <15°, and a chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA) between −10° and +10° rela...

Words against walls: Prisoners’ letters, lay penology and exceptional confinement
This article argues that exceptional detention functions as an epistemic regime that governs punishment by restricting prisoners’ capacity to interpret, communicate and contest the conditions and justification of their confinement. Drawing on letters written by political prisoner...

Coordination‐Driven Direct Conversion of Layered Metal Borides Into Borophene/MOF Heterostructures
ABSTRACT Engineering robust two‐dimensional material/metal‐organic framework (MOF) heterostructures with well‐defined interfaces remains challenging, largely because conventional routes depend on sequential etching, exfoliation, and self‐assembly steps that are inefficient, reage...
- Health & MedicineOpen access
Abstract Background Emergency-to–intensive care unit (ICU) admissions are high-stakes transitions in care, where delays or documentation errors can compromise patient safety and disrupt operational efficiency. Although digital order systems can support these workflows, traditiona...

Sliding friction-based lateral-gravity decoupling system for concrete modular building
Balancing seismic performance with degree of prefabrication remains a primary challenge in concrete modular buildings. Existing connection methods have difficulty achieving both high prefabrication efficiency and reliable seismic performance. Conventional connections either incre...

Mixture cure rate model with artificial neural network for interval-censored data
Mixture cure rate models represent a valuable tool to delineate the presence of a cured subgroup in the entire population under study. Among the vast literature, a popular research line is to regress the probability of an individual being cured on covariates through a parametric...
- Health & MedicineOpen access
Background/Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition increasingly understood through endotyping, with eosinophilic CRS (eCRS) representing a clinically distinct and often refractory phenotype. Eosinophils exert their pathogenic effects in...

Exploring Family Interactions: Heterogeneity in Family Specific Network Models
ABSTRACT Daily family interactions have a profound impact on children's emotional and behavioral development. While extensive research highlights the detrimental effects of negative parenting practices and the benefits of positive parenting programs, less is known about the compl...

From Colonization to Invasive Disease
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS), traditionally regarded as a pathogen of neonates and pregnant women, is increasingly recognised as an important cause of invasive and noninvasive disease among nonpregnant adults, especially with advanced age and underlying comorbidities....

Heavy metal exposures and constipation among United States adults
Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder that can substantially impair quality of life. Environmental exposure to heavy metals has been implicated in gastrointestinal dysfunction; however, population-based evidence regarding their associations with constipation remains...

Weight Regain After Discontinuation of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: A Systematic Review
Background: Weight regain and loss of cardiometabolic benefit commonly follow the withdrawal of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/GLP-1 receptor agonists, yet maintenance strategies are incompletely characte...
