The 5G communication system has experienced a substantial expansion of the spectrum, which poses higher requirements to radio frequency (RF) filters in enhancing their operating frequencies and bandwidths. To this end, this work focused on solving the filtering scheme for challenging 5G n77 and n78 bands and successful…

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic testing is overused in emergency departments, and clinical decision support may reduce unnecessary ordering. We examined the effects of nudge-based clinical decision support interventions on test ordering among emergency department clinicians. METHODS: This triple-blind four-arm parallel (1:1:1:…

The microbial-mediated anaerobic digestion (AD) process represents an efficient biological process for the treatment of organic waste along with biogas harvest. Currently, the key factors structuring bacterial communities and the potential core and unique bacterial populations in manure anaerobic digesters are not comp…

MOTIVATION: Converting the vast quantity of free-format text found in journals into a concise, structured format makes the researcher's quest for information easier. Recently, several information extraction systems have been developed that attempt to simplify the retrieval and analysis of biological and medical data. M…

The front cover artwork is provided by the Mosquera group at Montana State University, Bozeman. The image shows theoretical elements involved in the density-functional calculations that are free of spurious fractional charges. Read the full text of the Research Article at 10.1002/cphc.202200592.

The imperative to re-analyze existing public sequencing data is central to modern biology, driven by new hypotheses and advanced analytical methods. However, this effort is critically hampered by the profound heterogeneity of repository data, particularly the non-standardized, free-text descriptions of biological exper…

Mid-infrared (IR) spectral region is of immense importance for astronomy, medical diagnosis, security and imaging due to the existence of the vibrational modes of many important molecules in this spectral range. Therefore, there is a particular interest in miniaturization and integration of IR optical components. To th…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate ChatGPT's ability to perform thematic analysis of medical Best Practice Advisory (BPA) free-text comments and identify prompt engineering strategies that optimize performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed 778 BPA comments from a pilot AI-enabled clinical deterioration intervention at Stan…

Background The prevalence of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and napsin A expression are poorly characterized in lung core biopsies of small cell carcinoma. Locally, the TTF-1 clone is 8G7G3/1 (Agilent/Dako), and the napsin A clone is IP64 (Leica Biosystems). Methods All in-house lung core biopsy reports for cas…

BACKGROUND: In the diagnostic process of monogenic genetic disorders, identifying pathogenic variants is a crucial step. Thanks to the widespread adoption of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, diagnostic efficiency has been significantly enhanced. However, with the increasing demand for diagnostic accuracy in…

INTRODUCTION: Posterior urethral valves (PUV) remain the most common cause of severe congenital lower urinary tract obstruction in boys and a leading pediatric cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Despite decades of research, management decisions across antenatal counseling, postna…

BACKGROUND: Smoking remains a leading cause of preventable death and illness. Internet interventions for smoking cessation have the potential to significantly impact public health, given their broad reach and proven effectiveness. Given the dose-response association between engagement and behavior change, identifying s…

We report here on focusing of a probe IR (λ = 1.55 μm) laser beam in silicon. The focusing is done by a second pump laser beam, at λ = 0.775 μm and 30 ps pulse width, with a donut shape that is launched collinearly and simultane…

The aim of the article is to explain in more detail the biomechanical methods used in determining bone quality as well as to describe basic characteristic bone qualities resulting from the application of these methods. Mechanical properties of biomaterials are characterised by stress-strain curves, produced on the basi…

OBJECTIVE: To asses the complex anti-reflux treatment of pure venous ulcers on all levels of venous system. PATIENTS: In the last 20 years the authors treated 793 patients with venous ulceration and compared the therapeutic results of 4 groups of patients treated either surgically (Linton+v.v. surgery) or with sclerot…

Despite the amount of theorization on the forms and effects of participation, relatively little research directly examines what the concept of workplace participation entails in the minds of employees, and whether employees across cultures think positively when the concept of participation is activated in their mental…

MOTIVATION: Controlled vocabularies such as the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus and the Gene Ontology (GO) provide an efficient way of accessing and organizing biomedical information by reducing the ambiguity inherent to free-text data. Different methods of automating the assignment of MeSH concepts have been…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the validity of recorded diagnoses of ischemic cerebrovascular events requiring hospitalization within The Health Improvement Network (THIN) UK primary care database. METHODS: We identified 15 397 individuals aged 40-84 years with a first recorded ischemic event in 2000-2004. Of these, 4239 had a…

GaSb-based single-transverse-mode narrow ridge waveguide (RW) lasers with high power and simultaneous good beam quality have broad application prospects in the mid-infrared wavelength region. Yet its design and formation have not been investigated systematically, while the beam characteristics that affect their suitabi…

Dengue fever, a rapidly expanding mosquito-borne viral disease, poses a significant global public health challenge due to complex transmission dynamics influenced by human behavior and environmental factors and continues its relentless global expansion, with approximately 390 million annual infections straining health…
