The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to poorer cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an indicator of vascular reserve, and cerebral pulsatility (CP), a marker of vascular stiffness, are sensitive biomarkers of early vascular dysfunction associated with ...

Background: Childhood cancer survivors face physical, psychological, and neurological symptoms that contribute to risky health behaviors and increased healthcare utilization. Traditional survivorship care models overlook risk associated with this symptom burden. The current study examined symptom ...

Clonal hematopoiesis, through the age-associated accumulation of somatic mutations in blood, is strongly associated with hematological malignancies and other chronic diseases. These mutations have largely been characterized in individuals of European ancestry or environments, and consequently, it ...

Background: Well child visits (WCV) are fundamental to preventive primary care. We examined trends in WCV attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic and characterised variation by patient and provider characteristics. Methods: Deidentified electronic medical records from two academic practice-based ...

Substituted diphenylamine antioxidants (SDPAs) and synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs), widely used in rubber and consumer products, pose growing environmental concerns. This study evaluated the occurrence and release of 43 SDPAs and 4 SPAs in raw leachate and treated effluent from 18 municipal landfills across China. Results showed 17 SDPAs and 1 SPA ...

Recent data indicate that urban air harbors a complex mixture of industrial chemicals, pesticides, and combustion by-products, many of which may act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). By interfering with the endocrine system, EDCs can affect human health. Hence, there is an urgent need to ...

Microplastics (MPs) have become major contaminants in freshwater ecosystems. While numerous studies have characterized MPs in reservoirs, a comprehensive synthesis focusing on in-reservoir variations and dam-related influences is still lacking. This study investigates the spatial distribution of MPs in reservoir water and sediment based on data synthesize ...

Short-term memory (STM) temporarily stores sensory information, critical for synaptic plasticity, memory, and learning, and is regulated by the glutamate-gated NMDA receptor. While the frontal and parieto-occipital cortices have been implicated in STM, the electrochemical dynamics of the right he ...

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of delayed post-polymerization on color, degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS), and cellular response of a 3D-printed dental interim resin. Methods: Specimens were divided into six groups based on delays of 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, and 10 h before post-polymerization. Color was characterized using ...

Indexable face milling tools are often used to machine workpieces with large axial and radial depth of cuts, and thus, the inserts quickly wear out in machining. A kernel technique of smart machining is tool wear compensation, which is to regularly and automatically measure the insert radius/length with a laser tool setter on the machine table during mach ...

Plants are consumed by a variety of organisms, including herbivores and pathogens, which significantly impact plant biomass, diversity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. While the impacts of vertebrate herbivores are well established, the effects of consumer groups such as insect ...
