Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) converts vascular anastomosis time into an incompletely measured thermal exposure. We mapped how grafts are cooled and how temperature is measured, reported, and linked to outcomes during RAKT. Following a prespecified protocol and a d...

Genetic characterization of suspected hereditary melanoma in a Central Italy cohort
Approximately 5–12% of cutaneous melanomas arise in a familial context, suggesting hereditary predisposition. Our analysis aims to investigate the clinical and genetic background of melanoma patients living in the Lazio area with a personal and/or family history of melanoma or ot...

Link-adaptive edge-cloud inference for UAV-based plastic mulch residue assessment
Plastic mulch residue assessment from UAV imagery is jointly constrained by segmentation accuracy, end-to-end latency and uplink bandwidth, since onboard inference loses boundary fidelity on fragmented film while cloud inference is throttled by the link, and these constraints hav...

Speciation in parasites of marine mammals represents an important yet relatively understudied facet of marine research.Evolutionary and ecological interactions between the trematode family Brachycladiidae and their cetacean definitive hosts have previously been investigated at fa...

Perception of a communication workshop with patient partners by dental students: a qualitative study
Communication skills are vital for good patient-dentist relations. At Brest Dental University, a communication workshop for fourth-year undergraduate dental students involving role-playing with patient partners was devised and ran. The objective of this study was to explore perce...

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) remains a critical medical emergency with rising healthcare burdens in China. This study aimed to analyze its epidemiological shifts and risk factors over the past decade. A retrospective analysis included 3,523 inpatients with GIB at Renji Hospita...
- Society & EconomicsOpen access
The stress on environmental systems of the involved economies has increased due to the fast rate of economic integration encouraged by the Belt and Road Initiative. The massive infrastructural spending, intensifying trade movement, and quickening urbanisation have simultaneously...

Heart rate control by listening to light
The auditory-cardiac interplay enables sound perception to modulate cardiac rhythm and homeostasis. However, its underlying regulatory mechanism and therapeutic potential remain largely underexplored, due to fundamental limitations in acoustic stimulation precision. Here we prese...

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) clinical heterogeneity leads to inconsistent documentation of multiple, institution-specific pattern labels, creating an imbalanced multi-label phenotyping challenge. We developed an interpretable hybrid model, the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory-Convo...

Self-supervised graph attention networks for community-engaged lead contamination risk assessment
Lead contamination in residential water infrastructure poses a persistent public health risk, yet current assessment approaches rely on sparse homeowner sampling and tabular models that do not explicitly capture spatial dependencies in shared urban systems. Here we present a self...
