From silence to sharing: A six-month prospective study on adult disclosure of childhood sexual abuse

Background Disclosure of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is often assumed to be beneficial. However, prospective research examining outcomes associated with disclosure remains scarce, limiting evidence-based guidance for adults considering disclosure. Objective The primary aim was t...

National initiative targets maternal mental health care gaps

Guided by priorities that include expanding postpartum care through the first year, addressing stigma and care gaps, and advancing state and federal policy and research, a new national initiative is bringing together more than 100 organizations to improve access to maternal menta...

Descriptive analysis of dairy cow imports from the United States into Ontario, Canada between 2009 and 2019: implications for the risk of H5N1 introduction

Since first being identified in March 2024, infections of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) have been reported in over one thousand dairy herds in the United States. Canadian dairy cattle have remained free from H5N1 infection, due in part to the testing regulations for in...

Implications of Site-Neutral Rate-Setting Methods for Medicare Spending

Importance Medicare pays more for some procedures in the hospital outpatient department (HOPD) setting than it does for the same procedures in physician offices because of the facility fees paid to HOPDs under Medicare’s Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS). In recent yea...

Radical Passivation to Incubate Closed Pore Structure and Surface Functionalities of Hard Carbon for High‐Efficiency Sodium Storage

ABSTRACT Biomass‐derived hard carbon anodes receive remarkable prospects for use in sodium‐ion battery technology. However, precise regulation of carbon crystallites is extremely critical yet formidable, which seriously retards its scale‐up industrialization. Herein, a versatile...

NIR-II-Accelerated 2D-on-2D Silicene/MOF Heterointerfaces Disrupt Tumor Redox Homeostasis for Targeted Ferroptosis

Abstract Catalytic ferroptosis therapy provides an attractive approach for tumor treatment, but its practical efficacy is often limited by insufficient reaction kinetics and the strong redox buffering capacity of the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we report an interface-engineer...

Diagnosis–Treatment Discordance in Suspected Lyme Neuroborreliosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study from a Romanian Tertiary Centre (2008–2025)

Background: European and Romanian recommendations for Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) emphasise cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis and a positive intrathecal antibody index (IAI) for diagnostic confirmation. We assessed whether antibiotic treatment in suspected LNB aligns with dia...

ERGA-BGE genome of Valencia hispanica (Valenciennes, 1826): a critically endangered Iberian toothcarp

The reference genome of Valencia hispanica , a critically endangered actinopterygian species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, is key to unravelling its genetic architecture and adaptation to freshwater ecosystems. This genomic resource will enable targeted conservation efforts a...

Disorder-Driven Metal-Topological Insulator Transition: Critical Exponent ν ≈ 2.7 — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Topological insulators are gapped bulk materials with gapless, symmetry-protected surface states; disorder-driven metal-TI transition exhibits critical exponent ν ≈ 2.7. MATH: - Bulk gap Δ > 0; surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry (TRS) with Z₂ topological...

Lite-BiAttn: A Lightweight CNN-BiLSTM Attention Model for Accurate Solar Radiation Forecasting

Reliable short-term prediction of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is essential for maximizing photovoltaic (PV) power generation, improving grid reliability, and enabling efficient integration of renewable energy sources. This study proposes Lite-BiAttn, a lightweight hybrid d...

Asymmetric interactions in the Hawk–Dove game enhance evolutionary complexity and resource utilization efficiency

The Hawk–Dove game is one of the most important theoretical models in evolutionary game theory. To reveal the coupling effects of symmetric and asymmetric interactions on the Hawk–Dove game, we investigate the evolutionary dynamics of a newly constructed Hawk–Dove game composed o...

Telemedicine and physicians’ work–life integration: a scoping review of benefits, risks, and organizational conditions

Work–life integration is central to physician well-being, workforce retention, and sustainable healthcare delivery. Telemedicine may increase flexibility and autonomy but can also extend clinical work beyond scheduled hours and blur work–life boundaries. We conducted a scoping re...

Prevention workforce assessed for the first time: SAMHSA and NASADAD uncover barriers to retention

People who choose to work in substance use prevention do so out of “altruism,” according to the first‐ever assessment of the prevention workforce. But the pay is so low and the job security so poor that substance use prevention workers are hard to recruit and retain in the workfo...

A telomere-to-telomere reference genome for Rosa roxburghii reveals lineage-specific diversification of triterpenoid biosynthesis

Abstract Rosa roxburghii ( RRT ) is a nutritionally and medicinally important Rosaceae species that accumulates diverse bioactive compounds, making it an excellent system for investigating the genetic basis and evolutionary diversification of specialized metabolism. Here, we repo...

Regional effect of population-based programs promoting salt reduction and potassium intake in Hokkaido: a post hoc analysis of the PoSPIP

Abstract The Population-based Sodium/Potassium Improvement Program is a nonrandomized population-based intervention implemented by the Japanese Society of Hypertension across multiple municipalities and workplaces in Japan. This post hoc regional analysis focused on two municipal...

Multiscale Method for Estimating the Thermal Properties of Sandwich Materials Using Infrared Thermography

Characterizing the thermal properties of sandwich materials remains complex because it demands a method that can independently analyze both the thin and thick layers within the same sample. We propose combining flash and step thermography methods with analytical modeling based on...

Mechanistic Interpretability and Explainable AI (XAI) in Foundation Models: Reverse-Engineering Circuits, Superposition, and Safety Bounds

Abstract—Foundation models, particularly autoregressive Transformer Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs), have exhibited unprecedented reasoning and generative capabilities across computer science and engineering. However, their internal representations...

Influence of Coefficient Arguments on the Maximum Modulus of Entire Functions of Several Variables

This paper investigates how the phases, or arguments, of coefficients in multiple power series influence the maximum modulus of entire functions of several complex variables. While classical complex analysis often emphasizes the absolute sizes of these coefficients, this study hi...

Recognition by design: Territorial legibility and the stratification of sovereign opportunity after empire

This article argues that the postcolonial international order is stratified not only by material power but also by inherited classificatory position. I introduce the concepts of territorial legibility and recognition by design to explain why some colonially governed territories r...

Unusual Switch of Cell Death Mode by Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) via Enhancing Endoplasmic Reticulum Peroxidation Induced by Lipophilic Iron Complex

Although ferroptosis is a programmed iron-dependent cell death, many lipophilic iron complexes fail to induce ferroptosis through iron overload. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we found that a typical lipophilic iron complex 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ)-Fe(III) (1: 1,...
