IntroductionNeutrophils, the most abundant leukocyte population, play a central role in host defense against group B Streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium that frequently causes severe infections in humans, incl...

Abstract Background Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) is a form of social anxiety spread among university students, negatively affecting both academic performance and overall psychological well-being. Virtual Reality (VR)–...

Abstract Background No available literature supports the claim that the patellar and withdrawal (flexor) reflexes are the only reliable segmental reflexes in dogs. Objective Measure intra‐ and interobserver agreement o...

Abstract Purpose Adenomyosis is a chronic uterine disorder characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, frequently associated with dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), chronic pelvic pain ...

Abstract Background In the neurorehabilitation framework of treadmill-based robot-assisted gait training (t-RAGT), a threefold relationship among physiotherapist (Pht), patient (Pt), and the selected robotic device shoul...

Background and purpose: Dose summation in thoracic reirradiation is challenging due to anatomical changes and limitations of rigid image registration. Deformable image registration offers improved accuracy but requires c...

Abstract A growing body of evidence supports the role of nutrient sensing and metabolism pathways in regulating ageing rate and healthspan, but the diversity of human lifestyles challenges our ability to identify the mec...

By means of time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) spectroscopy, we present a detailed investigation of the carrier relaxation dynamics in a CsPbBr3 bulk sample and microcrystal ensemble at cryogenic temperature on a pi...

The Salado River Basin region is the most important livestock breeding area in Argentina, wherethe Lotus species has been traditionally cultivated as forages. Nearly 60% of their land surface is dominated by salt-affecte...

Abstract Agricultural management is critical in shaping soil carbon (C) stocks, pools and fluxes. The soil priming effect (PE) is known as a key component of the global C cycle that reflects alterations in soil organic c...

The authors demonstrate how a reduction in energy costs was achieved at the SARAS refinery complex. Fil: Diego Ruiz. Soteica Europe SL; España Fil: Serralunga, Fernán José. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científ...

Abstract Background Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSFs) are the pediatric equivalent of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The optimal management of type II fractures remains debated, and both conservative and...

Abstract Background Leg length discrepancy (LLD) has been implicated as a biomechanical factor contributing to hip osteoarthritis (OA), yet the extent of its influence remains unclear. This study examines the correlation...

This study presents the results of a multicentre external dosimetry audit conducted as part of the PROTECT trial, involving nine European radiotherapy centres delivering proton and photon treatments. A dosimetry equipmen...

Abstract The combination of optical fiber and phototheranostic agents has emerged as a promising strategy to address the challenges of limited light penetration depth and systemic toxicity of nanomaterials. However, the ...

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is very sensitive to magnetic and electric fields, strain, and temperature. In addition, it is possible to optically interrogate individual defects, making it an ideal quantum-...

In this opinion, we describe the potential of an emerging class of flat optics known as “nonlocal metasurfaces” to manipulate light in both real space and momentum space. While the ultimate form of a conventional “...

Hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) undergo significant optical, chemical, surface, and mechanical changes upon prolonged ultraviolet (UV) exposure. We assessed a commercial hydrophobic acrylic IOL using an acc...

We present the design for a novel type of dual-band photodetector in the thermal infrared spectral range, the Optically Controlled Dual-band quantum dot Infrared Photodetector (OCDIP). This concept is based on a quantum ...

This article intends to describe a process of transformation recently affecting the whole Europe. It is the progressive overcoming of welfare State traditionally meant as garantuee for all citizens of the essential servi...

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by structural and functional impairments in the kidneys, affecting around 10–15% of the global population. Kidney transplantation from l...

Photonic band structures are a typical fingerprint of periodic optical structures, and are usually observed in spectroscopic quantities such as transmission, reflection, and absorption. Here we show that the chiro-optica...
