The effects of micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) on human health are of global concern because MNPs are ubiquitous, persistent, and potentially toxic, particularly when bound to atmospheric fine particles (PM). Traditional quantitative analysis of MNPs by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) is often inaccurate because of false positive signals caused by similar polymers and organic compounds. In this study, a reliable analytical strategy combining HNO digestion and chromatographic peak reconstruction was developed to improve the precision of pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of multiple MNPs bound to PM.

Physiotherapists are critically positioned to integrate education into patient care, including pain science education (PSE) to enhance management and outcomes. Anecdotally, many physiotherapists report difficulty providing PSE in private practice settings. Here, we aimed to explore current PSE use, knowledge, and barriers to implementation.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome characterized by the reduced capacity of the heart to adequately fill or eject blood. Currently, HF remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on global healthcare systems. Recent advancements have highlighted the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in managing HF.

Objective: This study constructed a new conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) model to predict changes in lateral appearance following orthodontic treatment.
Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of adult patients were obtained before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment. The expanded dataset was divided into training, validation, and test sets by random sampling in a ratio of 8:1:1.
