A 10-month pilot study in urban Tamil Nadu demonstrates that the STAMP digital system effectively bolsters medication adherence to 97% and improves clinical outcomes for non-communicable disease patients in resource-constrained primary care, supporting the need for a larger randomized controlled trial.
This study developed and validated the 15-item Delivering Online Counseling Attitudes Scale (DOCAS) as a psychometrically sound, essentially unidimensional measure of school counselors' attitudes toward online counseling, demonstrating strong reliability and validity through a cross-validation design with 420 Turkish counselors.
This study develops and externally validates a clinically anchored, shock-aware informatics workflow for dynamic risk modeling of acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock across MIMIC-IV and eICU databases, demonstrating that framing the problem as a dynamic transportability challenge yields clinically meaningful predictions while highlighting the necessity for local recalibration and prospective evaluation before bedside implementation.
This longitudinal analysis of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study reveals that while physical function decline increases depressive symptoms among adults aged 45 and older, age significantly moderates this relationship, with the psychological impact being stronger below a threshold of approximately 57 years and more pronounced in women, highlighting the need for age- and sex-specific interventions.
This study analyzed 137 soil samples from all 16 administrative districts of Beijing between 2019 and 2025, finding that natural radionuclide concentrations (²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, ⁴⁰K) were generally consistent across years but higher in mountainous areas, while artificial ¹³⁷Cs levels remained low, indicating no significant industrial releases and overall values within global ranges.
This paper presents a two-stage framework for assessing urban earthquake vulnerability in Siliguri, India, by integrating a city-wide Social Vulnerability Index with a detailed Built Environment Vulnerability Index to reveal critical mismatches and compound risks, particularly highlighting the strong correlation between social disadvantage and post-earthquake road inaccessibility.
This prospective study of 103 late preterm and term infants reveals that while both end-tidal carbon monoxide corrected for ambient levels (ETCOc) and fetal hemoglobin (HbF) decrease over the first three days of life, a significant positive correlation between them exists only in non-haemolytic infants, suggesting that elevated HbF may be a key risk factor for non-haemolytic neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
This study presents a monolithic multifocal diamond metalens with exceptional thermal stability and high-power tolerance, demonstrating superior performance in maintaining focal precision under intense laser irradiation compared to conventional systems, thereby expanding the capabilities of transmissive meta-optics for high-power photonic applications.
This study demonstrates that anting behavior in the Japanese thrush (*Turdus cardis*) provides adaptive advantages by chemically altering the bird's plumage with the ant-specific compound dendrolasin, which effectively repels and removes ectoparasites like louse flies and dipteran insects, thereby offering protection against vector-borne diseases such as avian malaria.
This study characterizes the high prevalence of HTLV infection among hospital-based populations in Ningde, China, and evaluates the performance of ELISA screening, revealing a 1.30% initial reactive rate with 91.49% sensitivity and 95.19% specificity, while highlighting the need for PCR confirmation and optimized cut-offs in high-endemic settings.
