SinoXivThe COVID-19 pandemic had devastating consequences for long-term care facilities (LTCFs), particularly in Quebec where mortality rates were especially high during the early waves. Although the psychol...
Introduction The Hepatitis B third dose (HepB3) vaccination is essential in preventing chronic infections, liver failure, and cancer. Despite progress, global coverage remains uneven, especially in lo...
Purpose Acute appendicitis (AA) is increasingly diagnosed in the elderly due to rising life expectancy. As elderly patients often present with atypical symptoms and are prone to complications, we comp...
Dietary sugars differentially influence hepatic lipid metabolism, yet the metabolism of galactose—the monosaccharide unique to lactose—remains poorly defined in humans. Here, using stable isotope trac...
We report a detailed characterisation of the preparation of 5,6-cellulosene, a poorly investigated reactive cellulose derivative. A key literature procedure is followed, which utilises partially hydro...
Biradical(oid)s are key intermediates in the formation and cleavage of chemical bonds, and their application as molecular switches is of particular interest. In contrast, tetraradical(oid)s remain far...
Anthropogenic activities have increasingly pressured biodiversity worldwide. The cactus Melocactus pachyacanthus, an endemic and endangered species of Brazil´s Caatinga biome, is particularly vulnerab...
The European Union's Green Deal aims to reduce nutrient losses to air and water by 50% by 2030, requiring a substantial reduction in nitrogen (N) surplus from agricultural land. Using Europe-wide data...
Motor imagery (MI) electroencephalography (EEG) decoding remains challenging due to severe cross-subject variability and signal non-stationarity, which significantly degrade model generalization to un...
Raman Spectroscopy Study of Structural Modification in Yb³⁺–Gd³⁺ Co-Doped TeO₂–ZnO Tellurite Glasses
The structural modification of tellurite optical glasses induced by rare-earth incorporation remains an important issue for optimizing their photonic functionality. In this work, TeO₂–ZnO–Yb₂O₃–Gd₂O₃ ...
