Openness is one of the central values of science. Open scientific practices such as sharing data, materials and analysis scripts alongside published articles have many benefits, including easier replication and extension studies, increased availability of data for theory-building and meta-analysis, and increased possibility of review and collaboration even after a paper has been published. Although modern information technology makes sharing easier than ever before, uptake of open practices had been slow. We suggest this might be in part due to a social dilemma arising from misaligned incentives and propose a specific, concrete mechanism-reviewers withholding comprehensive review-to achieve the goal of creating the expectation of open practices as a matter of scientific principle.

Rapid implementation of open-access pandemic education for global frontline healthcare workers.
BMC Res Notes
January 2025
Nurses International, PO Box 114, Anoka, MN, 55303, USA.
Background: The recent global pandemic posed extraordinary challenges for healthcare systems. Frontline healthcare workers required focused, immediate, practical, evidence-based instruction on optimal patient care modalities as knowledge evolved around disease management.
Objective: This course was designed to provide knowledge to protect healthcare workers; combat disease spread; and improve patient outcomes.
Preoperative risk assessment and optimization integrating surgical and anesthetic principles and practices: a national survey for internists.
Perioper Med (Lond)
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
Background: The integration of procedure-specific risks into preoperative patient assessment and optimization are crucial aspects of perioperative care. However, data on internists' knowledge of surgical and anesthetic principles and practices are limited. We thus sought to identify internists' knowledge gaps in terms of surgical- and anesthetic-specific risk factors and characteristics.

Clin Oral Investig
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Klinikum Rechts Der Isar, School of Medicine and Health, Technische Universität München, Ismaninger Str. 22, Munich, D-81679, Germany.
Objectives: The presented study aimed to evaluate the effect of mandibular protrusion with a temporarily applied mandibular advancement device (MAD) on the posterior airway space and to determine a reliable metric constant based on a three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) evaluation.
Materials And Methods: The study population consisted of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who were treated at least six months prior to the follow-up CT in supine position. Each patient received an individually adjusted MAD that was temporarily applied with three different protrusion distances (P = 0 mm, P = 4 mm, and P = 8 mm) during follow-up CT.
N influences on CH accumulation and displacement in shale by molecular dynamics.
Sci Rep
January 2025
School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 2052, Australia.
N is generally employed as a displacement agent to enhance gas recovery in shale gas-bearing reservoirs. However, the primary displacement mechanism in the subsurface still needs to be clarified due to the characteristics of shale reservoirs with low porosity and abundant nanopores. This study employs the Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation method to investigate the effects of N on the CH accumulation and displacement processes by adopting practical conditions in the subsurface environment.

Calcined oyster is a commonly used shellfish traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice in China. During the processing of oysters, their microscopic characteristics are destroyed, and open-fire calcination can damage the DNA of oysters, making it difficult to identify the primary source. The establishment of a specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method for the identification of calcined oysters can provide a guarantee for the safety and clinical efficacy of the medicine and its processed products.
