A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Physiotherapy: Improving Elbow Rehabilitation in Baseball Pitchers.

Background And Purpose: Throwing a baseball involves intense exposure of the arm to high speeds and powerful forces, which contributes to an increasing prevalence of arm injuries among athletes. Traditional rigid exoskeletons and rehabilitation equipment frequently lack portability, safety, ergonomic design, and affordability. Traditional rehabilitation approaches frequently require therapist monitoring, resulting in therapy delays.

The Diagnostic Utility of PRAME in Primary Cutaneous Dedifferentiated and Transdifferentiated Melanomas.

Melanomas show a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features, which can impact treatment and prognosis. Dedifferentiated and transdifferentiated melanomas (DTM) are defined as melanomas which have lost conventional melanocytic morphologic and immunohistochemical features, showing sarcomatous morphology and/or immunohistochemical staining of other cell lineages, and as such, can be mistaken for other entities such as collision tumors and undifferentiated spindle cell tumors. In this series, we highlight the utility of preferentially expressed antigen in melanomas (PRAME) in diagnosing undifferentiated/dedifferentiated melanomas.

Identifying Promising Immunomodulators for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Islet Transplantation.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disorder that damages beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and results in hyperglycemia due to the loss of insulin. Exogenous insulin therapy can save lives but does not stop disease progression. Thus, an effective therapy may require beta cell restoration and suppression of the autoimmune response.

Molecular biomarkers associated with TBI outcome in individuals of Black racial identity or African ancestry: a narrative review.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and a major global health concern. In the United States (US), individuals of Black or African American racial identity experience disproportionately higher rates of TBI and suffer from worse post-injury outcomes. Contemporary research agendas have largely overlooked or excluded Black populations, resulting in the continued marginalization of Black patient populations in TBI studies, thereby limiting the generalizability of ongoing research to patients in the US and around the world.

Search for Soft Unclustered Energy Patterns in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV.

The first search for soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected in 2016-2018 by the CMS detector at the LHC. Such SUEPs are predicted by hidden valley models with a new, confining force with a large 't Hooft coupling. In events with boosted topologies, selected by high-threshold hadronic triggers, the multiplicity and sphericity of clustered tracks are used to reject the background from standard model quantum chromodynamics.

Global Environmental and Toxicological Data of Emerging Plasticizers: Current Knowledge, Regrettable Substitution Dilemma, Green Solution and Future Perspectives.

The global plasticizer market is projected to increase from $17 billion in 2022 to $22.5 billion in 2027. Various emerging/alternative plasticizers entered the market following the ban on several phthalate plasticizers because of their harmful effects.

Comparative evaluation of pain rating scales for dental pain among the Saudi population: A cross-sectional study.

Pain, being a subjective phenomenon, is perceived in different manner by individuals based on various factors including age and gender. Various scales are available in literature to assess and record the pain perceived by an individual. Comparison of commonly used pain perception scales among Saudi Arabian population is scarce.

Synergetic Modulation of Electronic Properties of Cobalt Oxide via "Tb" Single Atom for Uphill Urea and Water Electrolysis.

Exploring single-atom (SA) catalysts in hybrid urea-assisted water electrolysis offers a viable alternative to both Hydrogen (H) generation and polluted water treatment. However, the unfavorable electronic stabilization, low SA content, intrinsically slow kinetics, and imbalanced adsorption-desorption steps are the bottleneck for its scale-up implementation. Herein, a rare-earth Terbium single atom (Tb) is topologically stabilized on defect-rich CoO (Tb@d-CoO) by Tb─O co-ordination for urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and H evolution reaction (HER).

Machine learning-based optimal temperature management model for safety and quality control of perishable food supply chain.

The management of a food supply chain is difficult and complex because of the product's short shelf-life, time-sensitivity, and perishable nature which must be carefully considered to minimize food waste. Temperature-controlled perishable food supply chain provides the highly crucial facilities necessary to maintain the quality and safety of the product. The storage temperature is the most vital factor in maintaining both the quality and shelf-life of a perishable food.

Neurosurgery in Pakistan: Past, Present, and Future.

Background And Objectives: Since its independence from India in 1947, Pakistan has struggled with economic crises such as global debt, corruption, constant regime change, and a decades-long war against terrorism. The resulting socioeconomic barriers have stymied efforts to develop a comprehensive and equitably accessible healthcare system, especially regarding safe, timely, and affordable surgical care. This article evaluates neurosurgery's development, current state, and prospects in Pakistan, a lower-middle-income country.

Bimodal functions of calcitonin gene-related peptide in the brain.

Aims: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a pluripotent neuropeptide crucial for maintaining vascular homeostasis, yet its full therapeutic potential remains incompletely exploited. Within the brain, CGRP demonstrates a distinct bimodal effect, contributing to neuroprotection in ischemic conditions while inducing neuronal sensitization and inflammation in non-ischemic settings. Despite extensive research on CGRP, the absence of a definitive determinant for this observed dichotomy has limited its potential for therapeutic applications in the brain.

Comparative Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Moderate-Risk Patients With Aortic Stenosis: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a prevalent condition among the elderly, characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve, which, if untreated, can lead to heart failure and decreased quality of life in terms of reduced activity and high mortality in one to two years. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) has long been the standard treatment for AS. However, it poses significant risks, particularly in older patients with comorbidities.

Enhanced anaerobic digestion of freezing and thawing pretreated cow manure with increasing solid content: kinetics and microbial community dynamics.

High solid anaerobic digestion has proved the mainstream technology for the treatment of organic wastes. However, the high molecular weight and complex lignocellulosic structure of cow manure (CM) make it indigestible and inefficient, leading to limit the hydrolysis step of anaerobic digestion at high solid content. To mitigate this bottleneck, an improved cost-effective freezing and thawing pretreatment technique was proposed in this study.

Feeding and Growth Response of Fall Armyworm towards Different Host Plants.

A novel strategy of co-expressing CXCR5 and IL-7 enhances CAR-T cell effectiveness in osteosarcoma.

Background: Solid tumors are characterized by a low blood supply, complex stromal architecture, and immunosuppressive milieu, which inhibit CAR-T cell entry and survival. CXCR5 has previously been employed to increase CAR-T cell infiltration into CXCL13+ cancers. On the other hand, IL-7 improves the survival and persistence of T cells inside a solid tumor milieu.
