Connectivism and networked learning continue to resonate as important approaches for advancing digital education. What is rarely considered is how parasitism and semiology underwrite these approaches and how their actualization privileges interpersonal or human collaborations while undervaluing nonhuman actants such as data doubles. As our information surrogates, data doubles manifest as byproduc…

Healthcare is rapidly moving into the home to address the challenges of rising costs of hospital care, shortage of healthcare staff, and patient preferences. Hospital in the Home (HITH) is one model addressing these challenges; however, this model poses new challenges to the home, patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals. Derived from presentations and discussions at a transdisciplinary …

The finding that government policy is, “virtually unrelated to the desires of the low- and middle-income citizens” (Gilens 2005:789), is one of the most influential social science results of the last two decades. This article offers a new perspective on this finding. I show that the seemingly innocuous decision to restrict analyses to data where different income groups’ policy support differs (i.…

The influential “echo chamber” hypothesis suggests that social media drive polarization through a mutual reinforcement between isolation and radicalization. The existence of such echo chambers has been a central focus of academic debate, with competing studies finding ostensibly contradictory empirical evidence. This article identifies a fundamental methodological limitation of these empirical st…

Although osteomas are relatively common in craniofacial bones, the occurrence of a solitary osteoma is relatively more common in the mandible and is rare in the maxilla. Hereby, the authors highlight the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of a solitary osteoma in the left angle of the mandible of a 60-year-old male patient, followed by surgical management and a review of the l…

Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a trace metal that is considered a major contaminant of fresh and marine waters due to natural sources and anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and industrial processes. From a toxicological point of view, Hg is one of the most widely studied elements, especially in the area of food, due to its high toxicity, high absorption levels, and low excretion rates, which lea…

New, durable materials that offer superior mechanical characteristics compared to classic materials have numerous technical and economic advantages today. These materials, such as those based on carbon fibers, offer the possibility of improving the characteristics and properties of new parts or existing products, increasing their resistance to different types of stress or different working condit…

With the advance of higher resolution of organ imaging and diagnostic molecular biology, it is reasonable to assess the remaining value of the physical examination in medical practice. Among interactions with patients, a careful history is most important and results in diagnosis at least 70% of the time. Physical examination, imaging, and laboratory studies contribute another 15% and a combinatio…

Background The main treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is immunochemotherapy. However, the transport of most chemotherapy drugs in the body relies on the participation of the kidneys. For patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the coexistence of severe renal insufficiency undoubtedly poses a significant challenge to treatment. During the treatment process, doctors and pharmacists n…

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently coexist and mutually reinforce one another through shared pathological mechanisms, including insulin resistance, disruptions in lipid homeostasis, and chronic low-grade inflammation. MASLD is now recognized as a major comorbid condition in individuals with T2DM and is associated with su…

Background Currently, there are 537 million patients with diabetes mellitus in the world, with the greatest number of affected people in China. Accumulating studies have found that the lungs are also the target organs of diabetes mellitus. Previous cross-sectional studies on diabetes mellitus and lung function have consistently concluded that people with diabetes mellitus have lower lung function…

Background Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) represents one of the most prevalent and stable multimorbidity patterns. Relative fat mass (RFM), as a novel anthropometric indicator for assessing adiposity, has shown promise as a predictor of individual cardiometabolic diseases. However, evidence regarding its association with the risk of CMM remains limited. Objective To investigate the associat…
