Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among critically ill children, particularly affecting neonates and children under five.Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) have emerged as significant pathogens in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), contributing to high rates of antimicrobial resistance and complicating treatment outcomes.This systematic review ai
Downclimbing and the evolution of ape forelimb morphologies
The forelimbs of hominoid primates (apes) are decidedly more flexible than those of monkeys, especially at the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints.It is tempting to link the greater mobility of these joints to the functional demands of vertical climbing and below-branch suspension, but field-based kinematic studies have found few differences between c
Wheat growth monitoring and yield estimation based on remote sensing data assimilation into the SAFY crop growth model
Abstract Crop growth monitoring and yield estimate information can be obtained via appropriate metrics such as the leaf area index (LAI) and biomass.Such information is crucial for guiding agricultural production, ensuring food security, and maintaining sustainable agricultural development.Traditional methods of field measurement and monitoring typ
Sexual orientation and functional pain in U.S. young adults: the mediating role of childhood abuse.
Pain without known pathology, termed "functional pain," causes much school absenteeism, medication usage, and medical visits.Yet which adolescents are at risk is not well understood.Functional pain has been linked to childhood abuse, and sexual orientation minority youth (gay, lesbian, bisexual, "mostly heterosexual," and heterosexual with same-sex
