The IGF-II/S1P1 receptor transactivation axis: a novel neuroprotective mechanism in Parkinson’s disease models

This study demonstrates that IGF-II exerts neuroprotective effects in Parkinson's disease models by activating the SphK1/S1P/S1P1 signaling axis, which preserves mitochondrial function, enhances antioxidant defenses, and reduces α-synuclein accumulation.

Semantic Visual Representations Emerge from Embodied Self-Supervised Learning

This paper introduces Embodied Self-Supervised Learning (E-SSL), a model that leverages temporal consistency and sensorimotor contingencies from natural human interaction to generate high-level semantic visual representations that outperform existing models, align more closely with pre-verbal children's visual cortex, and offer new insights into the origins of human visual development and stream specialization.

Spatiotemporal Scattering and Interference at an Interluminal Interface between Synthetic Lattices

This paper experimentally realizes tunable interluminal interfaces in a synthetic Floquet temporal lattice, demonstrating how the interplay between classical interluminal scattering and Floquet band-matching enables complex spatiotemporal interference and order-selective transmission in a generalized Fabry-Pérot resonator.

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Portuguese Maternal Health Literacy Inventory in Pregnancy (MHELIP)

This study successfully cross-culturally adapted and validated a shortened, 23-item Portuguese version of the Maternal Health Literacy Inventory in Pregnancy (MHELIP), demonstrating satisfactory psychometric properties, including a robust four-factor structure and excellent internal consistency, making it a suitable tool for assessing maternal health literacy in antenatal care and research.

Acceptability and Feasibility of Implementing a Telehealth Kit for Older Adults with Diabetes in an FQHC Clinic

This pre-post quasi-experimental study demonstrates that implementing a telehealth kit for diabetes monitoring among older adults in an FQHC setting is acceptable and feasible, provided that barriers related to connectivity, platform usability, authentication, and the need for ongoing technical and caregiver support are adequately addressed.

Complex Presentation of Schizophrenia-Spectrum Psychosis with Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms: A Psychiatric Case Report from Somaliland

This case report from Somaliland describes the successful 12-week management of a 24-year-old male with schizophrenia-spectrum psychosis and severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms through an integrated multimodal approach combining risperidone, fluvoxamine, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, demonstrating that meaningful clinical improvement is achievable in low-resource settings.

StrokeID-NER : A Stroke Named Entity Recognition Dataset for Indonesian Patient- Generated Health Queries

This paper introduces StrokeID-NER, a publicly available Indonesian dataset of 1,742 patient-generated health queries annotated for stroke-related named entities, which was used to demonstrate that fine-tuned transformer models significantly outperform zero-shot baselines in recognizing informal and regional medical terminology, while highlighting that future performance gains depend primarily on expanding lexical coverage rather than model architecture.
