The competition between on-site Coulomb repulsion and Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) is studied on two-leg ladders by numerical techniques. By studying persistent currents in closed rings by exact diagonalization, it ...

Spin currents – flows of spin angular momentum without net charge – are central to next-generation spintronic technologies but remain difficult to generate and control efficiently. Magnetic metamaterials provide a po...

Helicity-dependent ultrafast spin current generated by circularly polarized photons in topological materials holds the crux to many technological improvements, such as quantum communications, on-chip communication proces...

Background and objectivesPostoperative recurrence after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) remains a clinically relevant challenge, complicating pre...

ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI), which is a severe complication of spinal fractures, often causes the dysfunction of the spinal cord and results in sensory and motor abnormalities. Current clinical treatments—includi...

Background: The rehabilitation experience can influence the transition back to home and community life. With impending National Health Insurance reform and limited rehabilitation guidelines in South Africa, there is a n...

Abstract Amaranthus spinosus L. is a member of the Amaranthaceae family, commonly known as the spiny amaranth, or spiny pigweed. It is native to the tropical Americas, but is present on most continents as an introduced s...

Sexual conflict may influence the shape and evolution of body structures that males use to grasp females during mating. Not only sexual coercion but also intersexual cooperation may be involved during clasping behavior. ...

Abstract Background In the Netherlands, approximately 20,000 older adults sustain a hip fracture every year. Most of these patients are frail, institutionalised, have limited postoperative mobility and a high mortality r...

Time-reversal-invariant topological superconducting (TRITOPS) wires are known to host a fractional spin /4 at their ends. We investigate how this fractional spin affects the Josephson current in a TRITOPS-quantum dot-TRI...

Abstract Two-dimensional ferromagnetic materials hold great promise for advancing low-power, high-integrated spintronic devices due to their atomic flat surfaces and versatile interfacial modulation. However, achieving a...

Background Challenges in accessing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and care leave many individuals with spina bifida (SB) vulnerable to unmet SRH needs, risking unfulfilling sexual experien...

Abstract Background Antemortem diagnosis of degenerative myelopathy (DM) in dogs is presumptive and there are no accepted guidelines for the management of this condition. Hypothesis/Objectives Describe current practices ...

We investigate the electronic transport at the internal interface within a selection of metallic bilayer nanostructures using the contact-free, all-optical method of THz time-domain spectroscopy. The Ru/Co, Ru/Pt, and Ru...

Introduction: Neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) are prevalent among military helicopter pilots. Although there have been few studies on sex differences in the NP/LBP prevalence in this population, females are shown ...

Abstract Compared with conventional forming processes, ultrasonic-assisted forming technology with a high frequency and small amplitude can significantly improve the forming quality of materials. Owing to the advantages ...

We report an extremely rare X-ray active blue straggler star (BSS) in Collinder 261, undergoing ongoing Roche-lobe overflow in a semidetached binary in an Algol-type configuration with an orbital period of P _orb  ∼ ...

The treatment of paediatric low-grade gliomas has been previously controversial as to whether upfront surgery or a conservative approach should be utilised, with a recent paradigm shift favouring biopsy or resection, if ...

Abstract Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the spine and sacroiliac joints, associated with a considerable functional and psychosocial burden. This study aimed to investigate the inte...

Abstract Background Early detection of renal involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is crucial, as functional changes often precede anatomical damage. Current diagnostic standards, such as the measurement of ser...

Background: Scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) is a key metric for evaluating shoulder joint function. Current established methods of SHR analysis involve 3-dimensional (3D) to 2-dimensional (2D) registration, which requires si...

Depression represents a significant global public health problem, negatively affecting patients’ quality of life and social functioning. Despite the increasing availability of effective pharmacological and psychotherap...

ABSTRACT: Background: Anoikis plays an important role in cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, research that focuses on the prognostic values of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still sc...

Abstract Intervertebral disc (IVD) degenerative disease is a prevalent and debilitating spinal disease. Current treatments only focus on symptomatic relief but fail to halt disease progression or restore the native biome...
