Expression of Concern: Targeting necroptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells: In Silico insights into 8,12-dimethoxysanguinarine from Eomecon Chionantha through molecular docking, dynamics, DFT, and MEP studies
Impact of SETD8/KMT5A overexpression on hepatocellular carcinoma progression and prognosis
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma has poor prognosis due to its high recurrence rate, even after curative surgery. Epigenetic regulators are known to play a critical role in canc...
Effect of different velocity loss thresholds during a resistance training program on jump and sprint performances in trained female athletes
This study aimed to explore the effects of velocity-based resistance training (VBT) using different velocity loss (VL) thresholds on jump and sprint performance in trained female athletes. Fifteen col...
Discrete element method parameter calibration and validation of wheat based on the Tavares model
Existing discrete element studies on wheat predominantly utilize simplified models, which fail to accurately characterize differences in fracture behavior resulting from the anisotropic structure of w...
“It Feels Like My Spine is About to Break”: Experience and support needs of family caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in Ethiopia
Background Due to the complex and long-term care needs of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), caregivers often face an overwhelming caregiving burden, and they experience physical a...

Barriers and facilitators to condom use among People Who Inject Drugs in Georgia: A qualitative study guided by the COM-B model
People who inject drugs (PWID) are at a heightened risk of contracting and transmitting HIV due to shared needles and unsafe sexual practices. Evidence on what shapes condom use among PWID in Georgia...
Comparison of methods for determining parameters related to ankle joint quasi-stiffness during quiet standing
Ankle joint quasi-stiffness is a measure representing the control of quiet standing. Here we investigated three methods for determining parameters associated with ankle joint quasi-stiffness. Eleven h...
Ventricular activation and repolarization in response to physiological and conventional pacing using ultra-high-frequency electrocardiography
Background Physiological pacing targeting the cardiac conduction system is increasingly being adopted as an alternative to conventional right ventricular (RV) pacing for the treatm...
Exploring the association between serum vitamins and CAP-defined hepatic steatosis in lean and non-lean adults with NAFLD: A cross-sectional study
Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent worldwide, yet the role of serum vitamins in hepatic fat accumulation, particularly across lean and non-lea...
Spatial prediction of dog population distribution in Kenya
Free-roaming dogs pose a significant public health concern due to their role in disease transmission. Rabies has been endemic in Kenya for over a century, yet a sustainable and standardized method for...
Effect of dialysate buffer practices on serum parathyroid hormone concentrations in real-life french patients receiving hemodialysis
Background Dialysate composition is crucial for managing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients on hemodialysis. Acetate‐based dialysates elevate serum acetate and trigge...
Multi-task adaptive deep sparse canonical correlation analysis for multi-omics cancer survival prediction
Integrating high-dimensional multi-omics data is essential for uncovering the coordinated molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression and improving survival prediction. DNA methylation and mRNA...
