Network Analysis of Medical Claims Data Suggests Network-Based, Regional Targeting and Intervention Delivery Strategies to Increase Access to Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Opioid overdose and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) statistics underscore an urgent need to significantly expand access to evidence-based OUD treatment. Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) has proven effective for treating OUD. However, limited ...

Item analysis: basic concepts of physics students in geometric optics

The purpose of this study was to analyze students' items and abilities—the analysis for mapping test instruments and students' basic concepts regarding optics subjects before lectures are held. The test participants were 35 physics students...

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECT OF BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA VIRUS- II INFECTION IN DAIRY CATTLE

The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical and virologic features of the mucosal and thrombocytopenic BVDV infection in infected dairy cattle. Strategy of examination included clinical examination of diseased animals, serum ...

How <i>Phytophthora</i> Effectors Disrupt Post-Translational Regulation in Plant Immunity: Canonical and Non-Canonical Mechanisms

Plant–pathogen interactions are shaped by dynamic regulatory processes that control immune signaling. Among these, post-translational modifications (PTMs) play central roles in modulating protein activity, stability, and interaction network...

Editorial: Optical imaging and neurorehabilitation strategies after stroke

Water mites (Acari, Hydrachnidia) of riparian springs in a small lowland river valley: what are the key factors for species distribution?

This paper examines the impact of disturbance factors—flooding and intermittency—on the distribution of water mites in the riparian springs situated in the valley of a small lowland river, the Krąpiel. The landscape factors and physicochemi...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)—Roles in Regenerative Therapies, Disease Modelling and Drug Screening

The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has made an invaluable contribution to the field of regenerative medicine, paving way for identifying the true potential of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Since the controversy aro...

Genome-wide association studies for the identification of cattle susceptible and resilient to paratuberculosis

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's disease or paratuberculosis (PTB), with important animal health and economic implications. There are no therapeutic strategies to control this disease, and vaccination with in...

Current Trends in Tolerance Induction in Cow's Milk Allergy: From Passive to Proactive Strategies

This review addresses the current strategies of inducing tolerance development in infant and childhood cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). The change in prevention strategies for CMPA has been emphasized based on the lack of evidence to supp...

Family and community resilience: a Photovoice study

Abstract Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), in combination with adverse community environments, can result in traumatic stress reactions, increasing a person’s risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions. Family res...

Microenvironment‐adaptive nanodecoy synergizes bacterial eradication, inflammation alleviation, and immunomodulation in promoting biofilm‐associated diabetic chronic wound healing cascade

Abstract The presence of bacterial biofilms and the occurrence of excessive inflammatory response greatly imped the healing process of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. However, effective strategies to simultaneously address these issues...

Exploring innovation landscapes: a national cross-sectional study of Swedish primary care from the viewpoint of primary care managers

Abstract Background Innovation is increasingly necessary in primary care policy, and healthcare managers play a pivotal role in translating policy ambitions into practice and shaping organisational conditions that foster innovation. The aim...

Solving Composite Fixed Point Problems with Block Updates

Various strategies are available to construct iteratively a common fixed point of nonexpansive operators by activating only a block of operators at each iteration. In the more challenging class of composite fixed point problems involving op...

Genomic Organization and Expression of Iron Metabolism Genes in the Emerging Pathogenic Mold Scedosporium apiospermum

The ubiquitous mold Scedosporium apiospermum is increasingly recognized as an emerging pathogen, especially among patients with underlying disorders such as immunodeficiency or cystic fibrosis (CF). Indeed, it ranks the second among the fil...

Bone Metastasis and the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies.

Exploring language learning and corrective feedback in an eTandem project

Many studies about eTandem and language learning stem from learners in Western institutions of higher education. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research investigating the telecollaboration regarding language development between learners ...

Enhancing sentiment classification on small datasets through data augmentation and transfer learning

Abstract Small-scale sentiment classification often suffers from data scarcity, which limits the generalization ability of the models. This study evaluates and compares the effectiveness of three data augmentation strategies: Easy Data Augm...

Quantifying Gender Bias in Large Language Models Using Information-Theoretic and Statistical Analysis

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing across diverse domains, yet they also raise critical fairness and ethical concerns, particularly regarding gender bias. In this study, we conduct a systematic, mat...
