The shift toward sustainable and intelligent buildings has accelerated the demand for advanced maintenance strategies that reduce energy waste, downtime, and improve reliability. Traditional maintenance approaches (react...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore the facilitative and obstructive factors of self-management in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis to provide a reference for improving patient self-management in C...

This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated the efficacy and safety of thiamin and folic acid for cognitive impairment in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. A total of 215 MHD ...

Key Points. Approximately half of people on maintenance hemodialysis exhibited impairment on a standardized, performance-based assessment of functional cognition. The functional cognitive test correlated strongly with a ...

We consider the problem of optimizing rolling stock operations, including preventive maintenance, to enhance technical availability. Our approach accounts for various types of rolling stock and their multi-level maintena...

Abstract The precise forecasting of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL, expressed in hours) of aircraft engine-like systems using a synthetic dataset designed to mimic real engine degradation patterns is a key factor in sett...

Abstract Large-scale mining equipment operates under extreme conditions, making accurate fault prediction and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation essential for predictive maintenance strategies. This paper proposes a ...

Reliable prognostics in predictive maintenance requires not only accurate remaining useful life (RUL) estimation but also robustness under distribution shift and support for decision-making under uncertainty. However, mo...

Abstract Background Tobacco cessation markedly improves cancer treatment outcomes. As part of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Moonshot, the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) funded 52 U.S. National Canc...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims To investigate the effects of a 6‐month supervised, personalized combined aerobic and resistance training program on oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, infection‐related biomarkers, ...

Test-based automated program repair (TB-APR) techniques automatically fix buggy programs by relying on a failing test suite. This test suite serves a dual purpose: pinpointing bugs and evaluating the validity of potentia...

IntroductionDevelopmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both the structural and pragmatic aspects of language. Conversational abilities—including topic initiation, mainte...

Abstract This study examines the widening gap between the availability and actual utilization of digital infrastructure in teacher training institutions, particularly within the Ghanaian context. Despite significant nati...

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate whether Mycoplasma pneumoniae resistance gene detection can independently guide antibiotic therapy for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children and to identify key predictors for...

BackgroundSevere alopecia areata in children is difficult to treat, and conventional therapies often show limited efficacy and substantial adverse effects. Dupilumab has shown potential in patients with alopecia areata a...

Infrastructure construction and maintenance is very critical in supporting a robust and sustainable transportation system. The primary goal of transportation infrastructure is to ensure safe and efficient movement. Howev...

BackgroundTranscription factor forkhead box protein N1 (FOXN1) is the master transcription factor required for differentiation and maintenance of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and is not only required for embryonic thym...

The aim of this study is the early detection of developing insulation defects in high-voltage oil-filled bushings based on the analysis of the temporal behavior of diagnostic indicators rather than only their comparison ...

Modern software evolves rapidly, accumulates architectural debt, and develops cross-module dependencies that complicate reliable maintenance. We present EvoGraphCoder, an evolutionary graph-reasoning framework for self-a...

Key Points. We evaluated the association between the four categories of left ventricular geometry and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Concentric hypertrophy was the most prevalent, followed by co...

Abstract Background Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) are the standard of care for primary ovarian cancer (OC), yet adverse events (AEs) frequently necessitate dose modifications. The prognostic impact of ...

Maintenance of sewage systems requires workers to enter confined manholes, where hazardous gases can build up. These toxic, flammable gases create a serious safety risk. To address this problem, a portable gas monitoring...
