17-4PH stainless steel fastener for high salt fog open-air marine coupling
The C01 type diaphragm coupling demonstrates effective performance in high-concentration seawater salt fog environments. However, the fastener material for this coupling must possess high mechanical p...
Spinal Calcrl+ neurons amplify mechanical itch signaling via synaptic plasticity in chronic itch model
Chronic itch, a devastating dermatological disorder, lacks targeted therapies due to incomplete understanding of its neural circuitry. Building on seminal studies that identified neuropeptide Y (NPY)...
Box breathing or six breaths per minute: Which strategy improves athletes post-HIIT cardiovascular recovery?
Post-exercise recovery strategies are critical for athletic performance, yet the acute effects of controlled breathing techniques (box breathing vs. 6 bpm [6 breaths/min]) following high-intensity int...
Cross-domain correspondence intensity modulation based on Bayesian-decision for remote sensing image pansharpening
Pansharpening usually improves the resolution of low-resolution multispectral (LRMS) images with spatial information from corresponding high-resolution panchromatic (HRPAN) images to produce high-reso...
Profile of analgesic prescription by medical specialties: A comparative study of symptomatic management in emergency care between orthopedics and other specialties–A retrospective observational brief report
Study objective This study aims to analyze whether specific medical specialties are associated with potentially inappropriate analgesic prescriptions by examining and identifying v...
Incorporating wellbeing into general factor models: A more complete mental state?
Purpose This study aimed to understand whether incorporating wellbeing as another dimension within general factor models of mental health is (a) feasible and (b) useful....
Serum albumin and gamma gap levels, and combined effect for risk of mortality in a Japanese population from the J-MICC study
Although the clinical importance of serum albumin and gamma gap levels is well established, it is unclear how these levels are associated with health risks in the general population. This cohort study...
Cognitive fatigability and neuronal correlates in chronic pain – A cross-sectional fMRI study
Objectives Fatigue is common in patients with chronic pain. However, there is a knowledge gap concerning performance fatigue, cognitive fatigability, and its neural correlates in t...
Efficacy of various survey methods to detect an experimental population of spot-tailed earless lizards: A case study
Plateau ( Holbrookia lacerata ) and Tamaulipan ( Holbrookia subcaudalis ) spot-tailed earless lizard (STEL) populations...
Classifying complex multimorbidity using latent class analysis and machine learning to generate insights into clustering of mental and cardiometabolic conditions
Machine learning techniques earn higher accuracy and robustness in multimorbidity prediction at this moment in time. Among various forms of multimorbidity, complex multimorbidity, especially the inter...
Correction: Chronic exercise effects on overall depression severity and distinct depressive symptoms in older adults: A protocol of a systematic and meta-analytic review
Human asymmetries in AI art: Syntax and writing direction effects on agent position in AI-generated images
The present study investigates positional patterns in visual representations generated by two artificial intelligence (AI) models in response to textual prompts describing interactions between two ani...
Optimized real-time path planning for micro UAVs in dynamic environments aided by reciprocal velocity obstacle algorithm
With the rapid deployment of autonomous micro-UAVs in dynamic environments, path planning must ensure both safety and real-time performance under stringent onboard computational constraints. This pape...
The impact of day care attendance on antibiotic use among children aged 0–12 years: A population-based register study
Day care attendance is known to be an important source of infection transmission in children. Having older siblings has also been shown to increase the risk of recurrent infections. We use comprehensi...
The insidious degeneration of white matter and cognitive decline in Fabry disease
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked deficiency of lysosomal alpha-galactosidase that causes glycolipid accumulation in tissues, including the brain. The most common neurologic sequelae of Fabry are cogni...
Prediction of disability levels and research on nursing economic costs for elderly people in China
This study aims to solve the problem of the shortage of professional nursing staff and the inability of the quality of nursing services to meet the needs of the elderly. Therefore, a longitudinal rese...
Analysis of categorical data from biological experiments with logistic regression and CMH tests
The choice of appropriate statistical tests in experimental biology is critical for scientific rigor and can be challenging in the case of categorical data analysis. Using example datasets from...
Association of ambulance and helicopter response times with patient survival: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Background Only sparse scientific evidence supports the notion that the shortest possible response time relates to improved patient outcomes in acute conditions, other than out-of-...
