Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis and severity assessment increasingly rely on gait analysis. To capture complex gait dynamics from limited sensor data, we propose a novel multi-branch framework integrating a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN), a bidirectional...

Revisiting the Indian Oedipus: The Phallus is (Also) Female
This paper revisits the psychoanalytic concept of the Oedipus complex through the lens of Indian psychoanalytic theory, Hindu goddess traditions, and clinical material drawn from work with Indian and diasporic patients. Challenging Eurocentric models that center paternal interdic...

Bottlebrush Polyolefin Sulfones as Triggerable and Degradable Pressure‐Sensitive Adhesives
ABSTRACT The molecular architecture (topology) of bottlebrush polymers, featuring densely grafted side chains along a polymeric backbone, leads to unique physical properties, enabling their use as functional materials including elastomers and pressure‐sensitive adhesives (PSAs)....

Multiple Myeloma Complicating Breast Cancer During Treatment: A Case Report
Research Background: Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that threatens women’s health. Among breast cancer patients, about 4.2% to 17% may suffer from multiple primary malignant neoplasms. Cases of patients suffering from both breast cancer and multiple myeloma are relatively rar...

Bias in Cohort Studies: The Critical Importance of the “Why” and “When” of Treatment Decisions
When it comes to high-quality, rigorous research, children generally get the short end of the stick. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)—the “gold standard” for clinical research1—are rare in this population.2 RCTs are expensive, time-consuming, and often fraught with ethical con...

Contrary to the current guidelines, pregnant patients with moderate to severe acute cholecystitis (AC) often avoid surgery due to concerns of the potential maternal and fetal risks. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) can serve as an alternative to emergent cho...
- BiologyOpen access
Despite advances in sequencing technologies and variant interpretation frameworks, many variants identified in genetic testing, particularly missense variants, remain classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), posing ongoing challenges in diagnosis and clinical manag...

Geometry-guided 3D Gaussian Splatting
This study proposes a novel 3D Gaussian splatting framework that maximizes the stability of scene reconstruction by integrating metric depth priors from UniDepthV2. While recent Gaussian Splatting-based techniques like self-supervised pose-free 3D Gaussian splatting (SPFSplat) ha...
