Where state, market, and community meet: Village doctors and the governance of rural health in China

Author(s): Wang Z; Gao Z; Zou X; Zhang P; Ma X; Rice K; Bouey J; Liu X;

Introduction: Effective health governance is essential for ensuring accessible, equitable, efficient, and high-quality healthcare services. Yet it is often overlooked or oversimplified in health services studies in rural China. We examine the unique role of village doctors in shaping public health governance in rural China. Methods: A two-phase ethnograp ...

Nature vs nurture of glucose homeostasis trajectories in children from the ALSPAC study

Author(s): Gamache I; Fagbemi K; Harnois-Leblanc S; Greenwood CMT; Henderson M; Van Hulst A; Timpson NJ; Manousaki D;

Aims/hypothesis: Dysglycaemia in youth results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, yet their individual and combined contributions remain unclear. We aimed to: (1) evaluate the predictive performance of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for glycaemic traits from childh ...

Deep learning-based femoral reconstruction from intraoperative point clouds for enhanced knee arthroplasty registration

Author(s): Kafian Safari M; Mirzae M; Gheflati B; Sharifzade M; Zuhars J; Rottoo S; Rivaz H;

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based method ...

An In-Vitro simulator for investigating flow disturbances in the left ventricle during controlled external impact

Author(s): Sweidy D; Mathyssen A; Teimouri K; Wei W; Saleh W; Kadem L; Evin M;

Blunt trauma is a major complication of high-speed motor vehicle crashes, often resulting in injuries of varying severity. Cardiac trauma accounts for about 18% of blunt chest injuries, the third most common death cause. Experimental studies described cardiac consequences after impact; however, none have captured the ventricular flow behavior during the i ...

Interpersonal Capitalization and Unmet Interpersonal Needs Among Adolescents at Varying Risk for Suicidal Ideation: A Daily Diary Study

Author(s): Perezmontemayor Cruz I; MacNeil S; Renaud J; Gouin JP;

Introduction: Adolescents at risk for suicidal ideation tend to report more unmet interpersonal needs, namely perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Interpersonal capitalization-an interpersonal process involving disclosing a positive personal event to others and evaluating others' responsiveness to such disclosure-can promote positive a ...

Probing cognitive reserve with resting state functional connectivity in subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment

Author(s): Gu Y; Hsu CL; Boa Sorte Silva NC; Tam RC; Alkeridy WA; Lam K; Liu-Ambrose T;

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is characterized by white matter hyperintensities (WMH) that contribute to executive dysfunction and increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Cognitive reserve (CR) is the brain's ability to maintain cognitive performance despite pathology. Resting-state functional connectivity ( ...

Synthesis and Characterization of CNC/CNF/rGO Composite Films for Advanced Functional Applications

Author(s): Ramezani G; Stiharu I; van de Ven TGM; Ramezani H; Nerguizian V;

Developing advanced functional materials requires the synergistic integration of nanoscale reinforcements with tailored properties. In this work, composite films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were synthesized using a combination of solution casting, high shear homogenization, vacuum filtra ...

Cross-modal synchrony between music and visual motion modulates vection, urge to move, and comfort in VR

Author(s): Van Kerrebroeck B; Spiech C; Penhune V; Wanderley MM;

Sensorimotor entrainment, the spontaneous alignment of movement with external rhythms, plays a key role in how we experience music and motion. In this study, we introduce a novel method combining musical stimuli, vection, and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) in virtual reality (VR) to investigate how cross-modal rhythmic stimulation shapes self-mot ...

On traits matching and the modular organization of food web and occurrence networks

Author(s): Borzone Mas D; Scarabotti PA; Vaschetto PA; Alvarenga P; Vazquez M; Arim M;

Modularity and nestedness have been observed recurrently across different ecological networks, including food webs and occurrence networks. These patterns emerge from species-level processes, where interactions and occurrences are determined by niche-based and/or abundance-based mechanisms. Abundance-based processes promote nested networks with gradients ...
