Integrated Microalgal Wastewater Treatment and Biomass Valorization: A Circular Economy Approach Using Chlorella sorokiniana and Scenedesmus obliquus.

This study demonstrates that cultivating *Chlorella sorokiniana* and *Scenedesmus obliquus* in primary urban wastewater effectively removes nutrients and heavy metals to meet agricultural reuse standards while producing distinct, high-value biomass extracts that function as potent biostimulants for crop growth, thereby validating a sustainable circular economy model.

Three-Dimensional Mapping of Exploratory Priority in a Full-Sphere Workspace Using Immersive Virtual Reality

This study utilizes an immersive virtual reality paradigm to map the non-uniform three-dimensional spatial organization of exploratory priority in healthy adults, revealing distinct patterns of lower-space omissions, leftward asymmetry, and medial-to-lateral scoring gradients within a full-sphere workspace.

Isolation and antigenic characterization of calcareous corpuscle-associated proteins from Taenia solium cysticerci

This study establishes a reproducible two-phase methodology for isolating calcareous corpuscles from *Taenia solium* cysticerci and characterizes their associated proteins as a diverse, immunoreactive set of at least 23 distinct bands, providing a foundational framework for future diagnostic and immunological research in cysticercosis.

Discriminating ability of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and derived inflammatory indices for metabolic syndrome among adults in Eastern Uganda: a case-control study

This hospital-based case-control study in Eastern Uganda demonstrates that elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and derived inflammatory indices, such as the ESR-to-monocyte ratio, are independently associated with and can moderately discriminate metabolic syndrome among adults in this population.

Precision intramedullary delivery paradigms in regenerative spinal cord injury therapies: safety, dose-response relationships and neurological outcomes

This systematic review of eight clinical studies indicates that intramedullary regenerative therapies for spinal cord injury are procedurally safe across diverse delivery paradigms and suggests that neurological recovery is optimized by achieving an intermediate-to-high cellular dose through precision-guided focal delivery rather than simply maximizing injection volume.

Age-Specific Multimorbidity Networks and Key Diseases: A Disease-Disease Network Analysis Using Taiwan Biobank Data

This study utilized disease–disease network analysis on Taiwan Biobank data to reveal that multimorbidity organization among Taiwanese adults becomes increasingly interconnected and less modular with age, identifying hyperlipidemia as a consistent hub and highlighting age-specific key diseases for tailored surveillance.

Bacterial Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles in Respiratory Tract Infections at a Tertiary Hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia

A 2023 cross-sectional study at King Khalid Hospital in Najran, Saudi Arabia, revealed that respiratory tract infections are predominantly caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, particularly *Klebsiella pneumoniae* and *Acinetobacter baumannii*, with alarmingly high rates of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) isolates, especially among ICU patients, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced antimicrobial stewardship and infection control measures.

Long-term responses of butterfly communities to peatland restoration are predictable

Based on a 19-year study of 18 Finnish peatland sites, the research demonstrates that while peatland restoration consistently benefits specialist butterfly species, the magnitude of these community responses is predictable from short-term outcomes and landscape context, offering a valuable opportunity for early evaluation of restoration effectiveness.

Development of a Nomogram Based on CT Radiomics to Predict Long-Term Survival in Patients with Occult Pleural Dissemination of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study developed and validated a CT radiomics-based nomogram that integrates imaging features with clinical factors to accurately predict long-term survival and stratify risk in non-small cell lung cancer patients with occult pleural dissemination.
