Abstract Background Malnutrition and reduced muscle strength are prevalent among patients with cancer and are both linked to impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Although the individual impacts of these condi...

Background: Anaemia remains a major public health concern in pregnancy and is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Low-dose aspirin (LDA) is widely prescribed to reduce the risk of preeclampsia (PE),...

Abstract Wireless bioelectronics demand transduction strategies that are simultaneously sensitive, noise-resilient, and biologically safe. Conventional wireless sensors typically rely on dielectric capacitors with inhere...

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare genetic disorder that results in fragile bones and frequent fractures, often causing lower limb deformities. Surgical correction is challenging due to poor bone quality....

Abstract Background Serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) hormone is a well-established biomarker used for pregnancy monitoring and prognosis in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. After embryo transfer, a hi...

Combined diquat and paraquat poisoning is a rare but clinically significant form of poisoning, associated with severe oxidative stress and multiorgan failure. Historical case series have reported high case fatality, part...

Abstract Accurate assessment of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry (IHC) expression, particularly the precise identification of “HER2 ultra-low” status, is critical for guiding antib...

Abstract This study characterizes the seasonal variations and cross-boundary aerosol transport in central Thailand using a combination of low-cost PM2.5 sensors, sunphotometer observations, and Himawari-9 satellite aeros...

Abstract Background Enhancing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is essential for sustainable agriculture. Stress response pathways play a significant role in regulating NUE across various growth stages and organs. Therefore,...

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and patient’ prognosis of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) via anterior tibial vein and popliteal vein approaches in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep ve...

ObjectiveTo examine whether China’s Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payment reform is associated with low-value inpatient admissions—defined as entire hospitalizations of questionable necessity—and to identify the pr...

This describes a low-energy voltage level shifter (LS) architecture. We further introduce a regulated cross-coupled (RCC) pull-up network to achieve a considerable reduction in dynamic power consumption with higher switc...

Quantumized Hall resistance (QHR) provides a traceable absolute reference for resistance measurement. However, the traditional transfer system based on super-conducting current comparator (CCC) relies on cryogenic liquid...

BackgroundEstrogen receptor (ER)-low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer shares similar pathological and molecular features with triple-negative breast cancer, yet the utility of the 21...

Abstract Background Low back pain and temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) have a coexistence in clinical practice. To find the effect of temporomandibular exercises (TME) along with conventional physiotherapy in patient...

HER2-low breast cancer, defined as immunohistochemistry (IHC) 1+ or 2+ with negative in situ hybridization (ISH), has emerged as a clinically relevant therapeutic subgroup. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with ...

Abstract The Internet plays a pivotal role in tackling global climate challenges, particularly in facilitating a transition toward low-carbon behavior. However, the mechanisms by which the Internet shapes low-carbon beha...

Abstract Objective In many contexts, individuals can purchase low-carbon products, making low-carbon purchasing a highly visible and relatively accessible behavioral option. This study aims to examine whether low-carbon ...

Abstract BackgroundThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to eradicate poverty and inequality while ensuring that all individuals enjoy good health. Among these, target 3.1 seeks to reduce the global ma...

This study examines the implications of fuel subsidy removal on the living standards of low-income households in Osun State, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was employed, and a sample of 500 respondents was select...

BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend endocrine evaluation for infertile men; however, those with normal sperm concentration (≥15 million/mL) may be under-referred for comprehensive assessment. This study aimed to inv...

Abstract Inadequate intake of dietary folate is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth, but evidence is limited in low-income settings, including the study area. This study examines the association between ma...

ABSTRACT Background Managing biomedical waste (BMW) effectively is a pressing public health challenge, particularly in low‐resource settings in accordance with the World Bank classification of low‐ and middle‐incom...

Abstract Objective Photon-counting CT (PCCT) combines improved dose efficiency with spectral imaging, enabling dynamic functional imaging at chest CT dose levels. Dual energy CT typically uses perfused blood volume (PBV)...
