This case study of a 3-month-old infant with severe pectus excavatum utilizes 3D CT imaging to demonstrate that rib hypo-development, rather than the traditionally hypothesized rib overgrowth, may be a primary causative mechanism for the deformity.
Using incidental Japanese panel data, this exploratory study finds that individuals whose self-reported gender changed across survey waves (a measure of reporting instability rather than identity) exhibit significantly lower subjective well-being, social trust, and career autonomy, alongside a reduced endorsement of both traditional norms and women's empowerment policies.
This paper presents a deep learning-based framework using TensorFlow and MediaPipe to enable real-time, contactless hand gesture recognition for diverse applications such as media control, gaming, and accessibility, offering an accurate and cost-effective alternative to traditional input devices.
In a prospective single-arm secondary analysis of 17 breast cancer patients receiving tamoxifen, a 4-week course of venlafaxine significantly reduced hot flash-related daily interference and improved several patient-reported quality of life domains, although these exploratory findings require confirmation in controlled studies.
This single-center randomized controlled trial demonstrates that a modified injection technique involving abdominal muscle relaxation and a 1-minute slow phased administration significantly reduces pain and injection-site reactions in patients with advanced prostate cancer receiving 240 mg degarelix acetate, thereby improving treatment experience and adherence.
This cross-sectional study of 305 tuberculosis patients in Sana'a, Yemen, reveals a high malnutrition prevalence of 60% and identifies that lower education, unemployment, larger family size, passive smoking, and low income are significant risk factors associated with malnutrition among these patients.
This feasibility study demonstrates that computer vision techniques applied to infant video data can effectively predict cerebral palsy by achieving a median ROC-AUC of 0.82 through the analysis of pose-derived kinematic features using deep learning models.
This study utilized 2D-3D registration of CT and X-ray data from 16 healthy adults to quantify the six-degree-of-freedom kinematics of the distal tibiofibular and tibiotalar joints during gait, revealing distinct but coupled motion patterns that provide a crucial in vivo reference for ankle biomechanics.
This study reveals that while social and digital media in Niger State enhance vaccination awareness among young mothers, they simultaneously spread misinformation, necessitating strategic utilization of these platforms to improve childhood immunization acceptance.
This study comprehensively characterizes the 39-member PtoJAZ gene family in *Populus tomentosa* 741 and demonstrates that the overexpression of the MeJA- and herbivory-responsive PtoJAZ10 enhances insect resistance in transgenic tobacco by modulating jasmonic acid/abscisic acid levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, lignin accumulation, and key defense-related signaling pathways.
