Background and Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Working Party (WP) on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology (RCI&BGT) held six business meetings between December 2021 and June 2024. This report describes the new blood group systems and antigens ratified during these meetings. Materials and Methods: Candidate systems and antigens were reviewed acco

Objective To delineate organ-specific and systemic drivers of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), we applied integrative causal inference across clinical, imaging, and proteomic domains in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Bayesian network analyses and complementary two-sample Mendelian randomization were used to quantify causal pathways link

The article aims to engage with possible readings of Levinas's scholarship to construct a common theme: a Levinasian account of resistance to power. The article will firstly demonstrate the way Levinas's scholarship challenges the idea of totality in western philosophy and demands an alternative epistemological construction. It will then develop a reading of Levinas's interpretation of a Talmudic

It is a common practice for symmetric-key ciphers is to encode a cryptanalysis problem as an instance of the Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and then run the instance with an efficient solver. For this purpose, it is essential to model the components in a way that is compatible with the MILP formulation while preserving the characteristics of the cipher. In this work, we look at the proble

With the global economic transformation and the advancement of innovation-driven strategies, entrepreneurship education has become a crucial pathway for cultivating innovative talent, driving economic growth, and enhancing national competitiveness. It also provides new avenues for individual career development and societal value creation. This paper systematically analyzes the development trajecto

The lithium extractive industry is expanding, as technological and economic shifts associated with climate change mitigation goals drive global demand for lithium-ion batteries. This article explores the case of the ‘Lithium Triangle’, a region of Latin America (spanning Bolivia, Chile and Argentina) that contains the world’s largest reserves, and where environmental conflicts associated with lith

This article elaborates on the notion of “decarbonisation by dispossession” in order to shed light on the contradictory character of capital-driven energy transitions. First, we suggest conceptualising “decarbonisation” as a “socio-ecological fix” to intersecting, climate-induced crises of accumulation and hegemony, aimed at saving capital rather than the planet. Second, reflecting on the mineral

Simulation methods in breast imaging offer advantages over clinical trials in terms of improved reproducibility, reduced need for patient exposure to radiation, increased flexibility, and more clearly defined ground truth. Simulation also allows for improved representation of anatomical variations and variations in acquisition parameters and breast positioning related to multimodality imaging. The

Active regenerative cooling technology represents one of the effective approaches for reducing combustion chamber wall temperatures. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) have been conducted to investigate the flow and heat transfer behavior of supercritical n-decane within various regenerative cooling channels. The simulation findings demonstrate that in contrast to flat regenerative cooling channels, jet

This study presents a modular approach for the synthesis of multifunctional affinity sorbents, facilitating molecular separation via magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers. A magnetic propranolol-imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposite with superparamagnetic characteristics was synthesized through precipitation polymerization process coupled with coprecipitation methods. Initially, the propranolol-

Yersinia pathogenicity is dependent on polarized translocation of effector proteins via the type III secretion system (T3SS). The tip complex situated on the needle structure of the T3SS is required for contact with the eukaryotic host membrane and is to an extent composed of pentameric LcrV. LcrV is a multifunctional protein that also acts as a regulator of the T3SS by virtue of forming a high-af

Introduction: Maximal safe resection is established goal of WHO grade 2 low-grade gliomas (LGG). Asleep motor mapping offers an alternative to awake surgery for tumors near motor areas and has been shown to be safe and effective in expert centers. Research question: We aimed to identify predictors of postoperative motor deficits, and describe patient selection and intraoperative mapping techniques

The objective of the recently published World Health Organization Reporting System for Lymph Node, Spleen, and Thymus Cytopathology (WHO system) is to standardize the diagnostic approach to fine-needle aspiration biopsies of hematolymphoid tissues. By categorizing specimens into five diagnostic groups—inadequate/insufficient/nondiagnostic, benign, atypical, suspicious for malignancy, and malignant

Expanding health insurance can either increase or decrease pregnancies and births, depending on how it affects access to contraception and the financial costs of childbearing. I study the Affordable Care Act’s Medicaid expansion using difference-in-differences models and state-level data on contraceptive provision, births, and abortions, synthesizing analysis of these outcomes to distinguish the r
