Inconsistencies in the identification of predictors for the transition from acute low back pain (aLBP) to chronic LBP (cLBP) may be attributed to the varying definitions of aLBP used in different studies. We investigated how adopting different aLBP definitions affects the set of predictors and th ...

Cancer diagnosis requires alternative techniques that allow for early, non-invasive, or minimally invasive identification. Traditional methods, like tissue biopsies, are highly invasive and can be traumatic for patients. Liquid biopsy, a less invasive option, detects cancer biomarkers in body fluids such as blood and urine. However, early-stage cancer oft ...

Purpose: Image-guided neurosurgery demands precise depth perception to minimize cognitive burden during intricate navigational tasks. Existing evaluation methods rely heavily on subjective user feedback, which can be biased and inconsistent. This study uses a physiological measure via electroencephalography (EEG), to quantify cognitive load when using nov ...

Lorazepam is a fast-acting benzodiazepine that is widely used to manage anxiety symptoms through modulation of GABAergic activity. Despite being one of the most prescribed benzodiazepines, the effects of a single dose of lorazepam on brain functional connectivity at rest is not known. In this pla ...

Background: Lifestyle factors like exercise and cognitive stimulation might help improve cognitive performance in older adults. However, studies investigating this, reported mixed results. Most of the data supporting the benefit of exercise comes from cross-sectional studies, cohort studies, or s ...

Crude oil remains a dominant global energy source but spills from pipelines, and reservoirs pose significant environmental and health risks. Remediating petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated soils is critical yet challenging, especially in fine-grained matrices where conventional methods underperform. In this context, electro-washing (EW), either in-si ...

Due to the oligotrophic marine environment, the lack of phosphorus is one of the key factors limiting the oil biodegradation ability of microorganisms after the oil spill occurs. Overcoming phosphorus deficiency has become an urgent problem. In this study, a phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, named Bacillus subtilis PSB-1, with the crude oil degradation eff ...

Water droplet erosion (WDE) is a critical degradation phenomenon that significantly affects component lifespan and performance in power generation, aerospace, and wind energy industries. The incubation period-the initial phase before visible material loss occurs-is particularly crucial for maintenance planning and material selection yet remains challengin ...

White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers widely interpreted as caused by cerebral small vessel disease, yet emerging evidence suggests that a subset may have a neurodegenerative etiology. Current imaging methods have lacked the specificity to disentangle biological processes ...
