This in vitro study exposed rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to a 50 Hz, 5 mT sinusoidal EMF and assessed migration and signaling mechanisms. The authors report increased MSC migration that depended on extracellular Ca²⁺ influx and was abolished by SOCE inhibition, alongside increased Orai1 expression…

This pilot clinical trial evaluated a portable helmet system delivering electromagnetic field stimulation at gamma oscillation frequencies (70100 Hz) in patients with cognitive impairment. Sixteen patients were included, with ten receiving stimulation after protocol refinement. MMSE scores increased on average from…

This controlled plant study evaluated extremely low frequency (ELF) non-ionizing radiation treatments (TA and TB) on soybean morphophysiological parameters under varying nutrient solution strengths (50%, 75%, 100% Hoagland). The authors report that ELF significantly increased chlorophyll index, with TB producing the…

This study used panel data from South Korea's 2023 Smartphone Overdependence Survey to build and compare machine-learning models predicting smartphone overdependence among adults aged 60+. Among evaluated classifiers, XGBoost had the best reported predictive performance (accuracy 0.925). The most important predictors…

This tank-based animal study examined whether realistic electromagnetic fields (AC up to ~15 μT RMS; DC up to ~19.6 μT) affect flatfish behavior near simulated subsea power cable exposure. The authors report no attraction or avoidance of the EMF zone and no behavioral differences inside versus outside the exposed…

This paper reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of a marine wood borer specimen collected in Beihai, Guangxi, China. It describes genome length, gene content, and nucleotide composition, and presents a phylogenetic analysis. The Beihai specimen clusters with conspecifics from Hainan, China, and is distinct…

This case report describes a 21-year-old man presenting with four days of painful priapism who was subsequently diagnosed with sickle cell disease by laboratory testing and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Standard initial urologic interventions failed, requiring shunt surgery, and a recurrence resolved after red blood…

This cross-sectional analysis used 2021–2023 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to describe intake levels and characteristics of artificially sweetened beverage (ASB) consumers. Among 320 adults who consumed ASBs, those with higher intake were younger, more often male, and had higher BMI.…

This prospective observational pharmacokinetic study in geriatric inpatients (≥75 years) assessed whether standard IV dosing of amoxicillin-clavulanate and piperacillin-tazobactam achieved a 100% fT>MIC target. Target attainment was lower for amoxicillin-clavulanate than for piperacillin-tazobactam in this cohort.…

This study functionally characterizes two rare intronic SPAST (SPG4) variants found in two independent families (Brazilian and Japanese). The authors report that both variants affect splicing and provide segregation and clinical descriptions of affected individuals. They also report co-segregation of symptoms…

This study reports the design and synthesis of seven carbazole-aniline hybrids and evaluates their cytotoxicity in breast (MCF-7) and colon (SW480) cancer cell lines. Compound 5e was identified as the most potent in vitro candidate and was supported by docking and molecular dynamics results suggesting binding to…
