A human oral commensal-mediated protection against Sjögren's syndrome with maintenance of T cell immune homeostasis and improved oral microbiota.

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune disease with substantial impacts on women's health worldwide. Although oral Haemophilus parainfluenzae is reduced in SS, its significance remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the pathophysiological role of H.

Sidewall defect suppression of 620 nm AlGaInP-based red µLED devices using HfO ALD passivation.

Micro light-emitting diodes (µLEDs), crucial for advanced displays and communication systems, face efficiency challenges due to sidewall defects. This study investigates the impact of various passivation layers, including SiO, AlO, and HfO, on AlGaInP-based 620 nm red µLEDs. We fabricated devices with two mesa sizes and demonstrated that atomic layer deposition (ALD) passivation, especially with HfO, significantly enhances performance.

Shear-Mediated Stabilization of Spin Spiral Order in Multiferroic NiI.

Type-II multiferroicity from non-collinear spin order is recently explored in the van der Waals material NiI. Despite the importance for improper ferroelectricity, the microscopic mechanism of the helimagnetic order remains poorly understood. Here, the magneto-structural phases of NiI are investigated using resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (RXS) and X-ray diffraction.

Divergent roles of mA in orchestrating brown and white adipocyte transcriptomes and systemic metabolism.

N-methyladenosine (mA) is among the most abundant mRNA modifications, yet its cell-type-specific regulatory roles remain unclear. Here we show that mA methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) differentially regulates transcriptome in brown versus white adipose tissue (BAT and WAT), leading to divergent metabolic outcomes. In humans and mice with insulin resistance, METTL14 expression differs significantly from BAT and WAT in the context of its correlation with insulin sensitivity.

Effects of DELIMA education programme on nurses' knowledge, confidence, attitude, and screening accuracy for delirium in paediatric intensive care units.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a 4-week Delirium Introduction and Maintenance programme based on the knowledge-to-action framework on nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, attitudes, and screening accuracy for delirium in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Research Methodology/design: A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design.

Setting: This study was conducted between January and February 2024 with nurses in two Indonesian PICUs.
