Objective: The aim was to determine the interrater and intrarater reliability of navicular drop (NDP), navicular drift (NDT), and the Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6), and test-retest reliability of the static arch index (SAI) and dynamic arch index (DAI).
Methods: Sixty healthy individuals were assessed for intrarater and test-retest reliability. From 60 participants, 30 individuals were assessed for interrater reliability. A digital caliper was used to measure NDP and NDT. Electronic pedography was used to calculate SAI and DAI. The FPI-6 was also performed. All assessments were performed on the dominant foot. The NDP, NDT, SAI, and DAI were repeated 3 times. The NDP and NDT were analyzed separately using both first measurement and the average, but the SAI and DAI were analyzed using only the average. The NDP, NDT, and FPI-6 were conducted by 2 raters to determine interrater reliability and were repeated by a single rater after 5 days from initial assessment to determine intrarater reliability. The SAI and DAI were also repeated after 5 days to determine test-retest reliability.
Results: Intrarater intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were 0.934 and 0.970 for NDP, 0.724 and 0.850 for NDT, and 0.945 for FPI. Interrater ICCs were 0.712 and 0.811 for NDP, 0.592 and 0.797 for NDT, and 0.575 for FPI. Test-retest ICCs of the SAI and DAI were 0.850 and 0.876, respectively.
Conclusion: Navicular drop is relatively more reliable than other traditional techniques. Also, the FPI-6 has excellent intrarater reliability, but only moderate interrater reliability. The results can provide clinicians and researchers with a reliable way to implement foot posture assessment.

The analysis of connection strengths and distances in the mobility network is pivotal for delineating critical pathways, particularly in the context of epidemic propagation. Local connections that link proximate districts typically exhibit strong weights. However, ties that bridge distant regions with high levels of interaction intensity, termed strong long (SL) ties, warrant increased scrutiny due to their potential to foster satellite epidemic clusters and extend the duration of pandemics.

Article Synopsis
- Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) was shown to significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in Asian patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer compared to chemotherapy in the EVER-132-002 study.
- The study involved 331 patients, where those receiving SG had a median PFS of 4.3 months and an OS of 21.0 months, outperforming the chemotherapy group which had a PFS of 4.2 months and OS of 15.3 months.
- Common severe side effects were neutropenia, leukopenia, and anemia, but SG's safety profile was considered manageable and consistent with earlier research, making it a

Deception is an essential part of children's moral development. Previous developmental studies have shown that children start to deceive at the age of 3 years, and as age increased to 5 years, almost all children were able to deceive for their own benefit. Although behavioral studies have indicated that the emergence and development of deception are related to cognitive abilities, their neural correlates remain poorly understood.

Amdizalisib, also named HMPL-689, a novel selective and potent PI3Kδ inhibitor, is currently under Phase II clinical development in China for treating hematological malignancies. The preclinical pharmacokinetics (PK) of amdizalisib were extensively characterized and to support the further development of amdizalisib. We characterized the plasma protein binding, blood-to-plasma partition ratio, cell permeability, hepatic microsomal metabolic stability, and drug-drug interaction potential of amdizalisib using experiments.
