Model-development and benchmark evidence

Two-Stage Model Classifies 46 Produce and Vegetable-Dish Categories at 92.43% Top-1 Accuracy, but Lacks On-Device Validation

The study developed a two-stage ThaiSook pipeline: a binary model first rejects non-produce images, after which a multiclass model identifies 43 fruit and vegetable types and three vegetable-heavy dishes. The 40,595-image dataset contained 11,210 labelled and 29,385 unlabelled user images. With label smoothing and temperature scaling, the pipeline reached 92.43% top-1, 94.56% top-3, and 94.91% top-5 accuracy; Noisy Student raised top-1 accuracy to 92.59%. However, results rely on one train–test split, without real on-device testing or evidence that classification improves dietary measurement or health outcomes.

CXCR2 blockade potentiates HDAC3 deletion mediated antitumor immunity in colorectal cancer

HDAC3 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis. This study reveals that HDAC3 deletion dually regulates chemokine expression through epigenetic mechanisms, promoting CD8⁺ T cell infiltration (via CXCL10) on one hand, while enhancing the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) (via CXCL1/2/3/5) on the other. The latter, mediated through CXCR2 signaling, counteracts the intrinsic anti-tumor effect of HDAC3 deletion. We further demonstrate that combining a CXCR2 inhibitor effectively blocks MDSC infiltration and significantly enhances the immunotherapeutic efficacy mediated by HDAC3 deletion. This study systematically elucidates the "double-edged sword" role of HDAC3 in the CRC immune microenvironment and provides a theoretical and experimental basis for an HDAC3/CXCR2 dual-targeting therapeutic strategy.

The Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology ( APLAR ) Consensus Statements for the Management of Reproductive Issues in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases

BACKGROUND: The management of reproductive health in individuals with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) has evolved into a primary clinical priority. Wide variations in clinical practice and drug availability in the Asia-Pacific regions necessitate localized frameworks. These consensus statements, developed by the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) Special Interest Group for Women's Health & Reproductive Issues in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases, aim to bridge the gaps within the region, foster multidisciplinary collaboration, and address regional knowledge deficits. METHODS: An expert panel comprising 16 members of the 13 APLAR member nation organizations formulated 23 research questions using the PICO framework. A systematic review of English-language literature up to July 2025 was conducted across the MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library databases, supplemented by a manual search of journals from the APLAR regions. Evidence from the APLAR region was appraised using the GRADE system. A modified Delphi online voting process was employed to reach consensus, pre-defined as ≥ 75% agreement. RESULTS: The panel approved four overarching principles and 86 statements, organized into 16 broad categories. These statements cover all three phases of pregnancy in AIRDs, the safety of medications during pregnancy and lactation, contraception, assisted reproductive techniques, fertility preservation, and hormonal replacement therapy, covering both female and male aspects as relevant. CONCLUSION: In a field often lacking high-quality data, these consensus statements from APLAR provide expert opinion-based guidance to support clinical decision-making. It is envisaged that it will assist in educational and training purposes and…

GRB 241030A: A bright afterglow challenging forward shock emission

Context. Gamma-ray burst GRB 241030A ( z = 1.411) exhibited a particularly bright afterglow (similar to the ‘BOAT’, GRB 221009A), detected across gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, and optical bands. The extensive, multi-wavelength observations of this remarkable event provide a valuable opportunity to advance our understanding of GRB afterglow physics. Aims. We aim to constrain the physical properties of the jet, its microphysics, and the characteristics of the circumburst environment in the context of forward-shock emission. Methods. We compiled multi-wavelength observations spanning from a minute to a week after the prompt emission, processing the data through a unified photometry pipeline. Leveraging this comprehensive dataset, we analysed the observations both analytically and using Bayesian inference with two independent models. Our models assume that the afterglow emission arises from the strong forward shock of a laterally structured jet, with possible contributions from synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) scatterings. Results. We find that our models do reproduce the afterglow observations accurately, from the X-rays to the optical, favouring a jet propagating into a constant-density interstellar medium, with a viewing angle within the jet core. However, both analyses – with and without the inclusion of SSC scatterings – require parameter values that are extreme compared to expectations from standard theory. In particular, our results imply extremely energetic jets despite regular prompt energy, leading to a very inefficient prompt emission. Furthermore, the jets are particularly inefficient at accelerating particles, with low ϵ e and ϵ B , leading to significant SSC emission. Finally, our analyses indicate that the jets have large opening angles and propagate in high-density…

Global disparities in hearing care services and infrastructure: findings from a 47-country international provider survey

OBJECTIVE: Access to audiological services and support for individuals with hearing loss varies widely across low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs). This study examines disparities in the availability of audiological services across World Bank income groups. DESIGN: An international cross-sectional survey was developed and distributed by the Global Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Initiative. The survey evaluated the availability of audiology and support services across countries. Multiple responses from one country were combined into one entry. Statistical significance between groups was assessed using chi-squared tests.Study Sample: A total of 135 responses were received from 47 countries (30 LMICs and 17 HICs). RESULTS: Significant disparities were identified across most service categories. HICs reported greater availability of newborn hearing screening, diagnostic tests, paediatric and adult hearing assessments, vestibular services, and hearing technologies compared to LMICs. Advanced diagnostic tools and hearing devices such as cochlear implants were significantly more accessible in HICs. CONCLUSIONS: Substantial differences were observed in audiological and rehabilitative services across HICs and LMICs. Efforts to bridge significant gaps are essential for achieving equitable hearing health care worldwide.

Resolving CYP2D6 Structural Complexity with Long‐Read Sequencing: Implications for Tamoxifen Precision Dosing in Thai Breast Cancer Patients

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6)-mediated bioactivation of tamoxifen to endoxifen is a key determinant of therapeutic efficacy in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In Asian populations, the high prevalence of structurally complex CYP2D6 alleles complicates conventional genotyping, limiting accurate genotype-phenotype correlation. To address these gaps, long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing was applied to resolve CYP2D6 structural complexity and evaluate its impact on endoxifen metabolism. The study cohort included 492 Thai breast cancer patients, with multivariable analysis performed on 361 individuals receiving standard-dose tamoxifen to determine the association between CYP2D6 activity scores and plasma endoxifen concentrations. Long-read sequencing identified 82 distinct diplotypes and successfully resolved complex structural variations, including the prevalent CYP2D6*36 + *10 non-identical duplication. Overall, 46.55% of patients were classified as having decreased enzyme function, primarily intermediate metabolizers (45.53%). CYP2D6 activity score emerged as the strongest determinant of endoxifen exposure (P < 0.001). Decreased-function genotypes were significantly associated with lower endoxifen levels (using an exploratory benchmark of ≤5.97 ng/mL), independent of parent drug concentration. These findings demonstrate that long-read sequencing enables the precise resolution of CYP2D6 structural complexity. By accurately capturing rare and complex CYP2D6 alleles, the results indicate that standard genotyping may misclassify certain patients, potentially placing a large portion of the studied population at an unrecognized risk of low tamoxifen exposure.

Membranous remodeling of basal infoldings in attenuated epithelial cells of dilated renal tubules under unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in adult mouse kidney.

Under unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) in mouse kidneys, comparing proximal and distal tubules and collecting ducts, the distal tubules exhibited the most pronounced dilation and epithelial attenuation. Basal infoldings, typically well-developed in normal distal tubule cells, were infrequently present. Instead, the cell base was predominantly covered by flat-contoured plasma membranes interspersed with clusters of palisade-aligned thin cytoplasmic processes. These processes resembled the mitochondria-free terminal portions of cytoplasmic processes normally enclosed by basal infolding membranes in normal distal tubule cells. Some process clusters were enclosed by internal extensions of adjacent flat-contoured membranes, forming process-containing membranous sacs partially open to the basal interstitial space. Similar membranous bodies were observed deep within the cells, with some opening to intercellular spaces through fusion with lateral cell membranes. These membrane modifications likely represent the morphological sequence of membrane dynamics, providing additional membranes to compensate for the increased basal surface area in dilated tubules. Similarly, the collecting ducts dilated with attenuated epithelia and the basal surfaces were covered by flat-contoured plasma membranes with sparse clusters of palisade-aligned processes, suggesting basal infoldings, which also serve as a membrane supply to basolateral surfaces in these cells. However, membranous sacs containing thin processes were less frequent in collecting duct cells, indicating a less extensive membrane remodeling process compared with distal tubule cells. On the other hand, the proximal tubules exhibited the lowest luminal dilation and epithelial attenuation, and the replacement of the diminished…

Constitutive DUSP2 expression enhances lymphoid cell proliferation by activating CDK1 and promotes lymphomagenesis

DUSP2 is known as a nuclear dual-specificity phosphatase, highly restricted to immune cells. Its expression is induced by antigenic and mitogenic stimuli and has been implicated in immune cell differentiation and functions. However, its role in immune cell mitotic proliferation and hematologic malignancies has not been rigorously examined. Here, we show DUSP2 is highly expressed in human B-cell, T cell, and other hematologic malignancies. Ablating DUSP2 expression in lymphoma cell lines decreases growth and viability. In mice, transgenic Dusp2 expression promotes B-cell and T cell proliferation, and malignant transformation. Mechanistically, DUSP2 promotes cell cycle progression by activating CDK1 through dephosphorylation at inhibitory Tyr15 and Thr14, which is mediated not by its own phosphatase activity, but instead by a structural motif that recruits CDC25 phosphatases. This work reveals an unexpected oncogenic role for DUSP2 in lymphoid malignancies and the function of a structural motif, which represents an appealing target site for therapeutic intervention.

Influence of Alloy and Alloy Composition on Dendrite Formation and Electrochemical Performance in Aluminum Metal Batteries

Interfacial instability and sluggish kinetics of high-purity aluminum (Al) anodes remain major bottlenecks for rechargeable nonaqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) to achieve high electrochemical performance. This study systematically evaluates the effects of alloying compositions on dendrite formation in commercial AA1235, AA3003, and AA8006 Al alloys as scalable, high-performance and low-cost anodes in chloroaluminate-based electrolyte AIBs. Comprehensive results demonstrate that the commercial Al alloys achieve superior cycling stability over pure Al metal benefited by leveraging a balanced intermetallic distribution that promotes uniform Al plating and suppresses vertical dendrite propagation. In contrast, high-purity Al exhibits limited long-life cycles due to its inhomogeneous native oxides. Our findings reveal that tailored commercial alloys can outperform their high-purity materials, offering a strategic pathway for durable and cost-effective energy storage based on multivalent metal-ion chemistries.

Adolescent sexual and reproductive health assessment in clinical practice in India: a qualitative study triangulating clinician practices and young adults’ experiences

OBJECTIVES: To characterise current practices in adolescent sexual and reproductive health (SRH) assessment during routine clinical encounters in a tertiary care setting and to triangulate these findings with young adults' experiences of adolescent healthcare, identifying gaps between recommended assessment approaches and real-world clinical practice. DESIGN: Qualitative study using semistructured in-depth interviews (IDIs) and group discussions with clinicians, followed by a sequential triangulation phase involving IDIs with young adults. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis. SETTING: A tertiary care hospital in South Karnataka, India. PARTICIPANTS: 33 clinicians across six departments participated in four IDIs and five group discussions (focus-group or small-group discussions). 10 undergraduate young adults were recruited for IDIs in the triangulation phase. Sampling was guided by the information power principle. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Current patterns and practices of SRH assessment, perceived barriers and challenges and concordance between clinician-reported practices and young adults' experiences of care. RESULTS: Three domains emerged: current assessment practices, contextual challenges and improvement strategies. SRH assessment was largely symptom-driven and reactive rather than routinely integrated into consultations. Clinicians described practices shaped by sociocultural stigma, parental presence, privacy limitations and medicolegal uncertainty. In response, many relied on informal strategies such as rapport-building, indirect questioning or referral pathways. Triangulation with young adults' experiences confirmed the reactive nature of SRH enquiry, but revealed critical mismatches: young adults…
