Computational and immunoinformatics approaches for designing phytocompound-based drugs and a multi-epitope vaccine targeting FemA, a cell wall protein of Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus , a bacterial pathogen, is increasingly linked to severe healthcare-associated diseases, from mild skin infections to toxic shock syndrome. Due to limitations...
Optical quality of Fresnel-structured hyperopic implantable collamer lenses: A ray-tracing analysis
To achieve positive refractive power, implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) for hyperopia increase central thickness, which in turn raises the risk of pupil blockage and lens contact in eyes with shallow...
Trends and correlations of infection rates and drug resistance of Escherichia coli among ICU and Non-ICU patients in Guizhou, China
Objective Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) is a common opportunistic pathogen. The objective of...
MAF-Net: Multimodal cross-attention-based fusion network for cardiovascular disease classification
Cardiovascular disease ranks among the leading causes of death globally, posing a severe threat to human health. Consequently, rapid and accurate identification of cardiovascular disease has become a...
Multifaceted bioactivity of brown seaweed-derived fucoidan from the Indian Coastline: A natural health product candidate
Brown seaweeds are rich in bioactive constituents, among which fucoidan a sulphated polysaccharide is particularly noted for its broad-spectrum therapeutic properties. This study explores the multifac...
Muscle activation and intermuscular coordination adaptations to early strength training during maximal force production
Previously untrained individuals tend to increase maximal and rapid strength during the initial resistance training stages. Muscle activation and coordination are neural mechanisms contributing to the...
Expression of Concern: Trends and disparities in dilated cardiomyopathy related mortality among adults in the United States: A CDC WONDER analysis (1999–2023)
RETRACTED: Hybrid deep learning and feature selection approach for autism detection from rs-fMRI data
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that is primarily characterized by deficits in social communication and restricted or repetitive behavioral patterns. Although psycholo...
Correction: A data-driven approach to establishing cell motility patterns as predictors of macrophage subtypes and their relation to cell morphology
Rejection or support? research on labor participation strategy of older adults based on three-party evolutionary game
To address the demographic challenges posed by accelerated aging and shrinking labor force, it is crucial to develop human resources and encourage labor participation among older adults to achieve act...
Bridging theory and behavior for healthcare accessibility modeling: A mobility-driven revision of the E2SFCA
Proximity to a healthcare supplier does not necessarily equate to meaningful access to care. Traditional healthcare accessibility models, particularly the Enhanced Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2...
A study of location selection for large agricultural wholesale markets under the perspective of modern circulation
This study investigates the critical challenges associated with location selection for large-scale Agricultural Product Wholesale Markets (APWMs) under the traditional circulation model. It identifies...
Expression of Concern: The p53 tumor suppressor is stabilized by inhibitor of growth 1 (ING1) by blocking polyubiquitination
Correction: Correlation between self-regulatory fatigue and physical activity in lung cancer patients undergoing comprehensive treatment
Antimicrobial and antibiofilm evaluation of thymol, sodium azide, and sodium lauryl sulfate against multidrug-resistant pathogens: An integrated experimental and computational study
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens represent a major global health challenge, underscoring the urgent need for new antimicrobial strategies that can effectively target both planktonic cells and biofi...
Peer-coaching interventions for stroke survivors - what works and how: A scoping review
Background Peer-led interventions show potential in supporting stroke survivors’ recovery, but are described using inconsistent terms and definitions in the current literature....
Retraction: Influence of pozzolanic addition on strength and microstructure of metakaolin-based concrete
Wavelet-based visual compass
For many ant species, successful visual navigation is crucial for the survival of the individual and the colony, meaning these small-brained insects have evolved to be exceptional navigators. This mak...
A highly accurate Hermite polynomial-based least-squares approach for solving fractional Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equations
This paper presents a comprehensive numerical study on the efficacy of a Hermite polynomial-based least-squares method for solving Volterra–Fredholm fractional integro-differential equations (V-FFIDEs...
Differential associations of mental health, mild traumatic brain injury and substance use between male and female university students
Background More severe substance use, defined as higher scores on validated measures of problematic use, is increasing within young adult populations. Substance use has been associ...
