Genomic Characterization of a Type IV Hepanhamaparvovirus Decapod1 (DHPV) Isolated From Cultured Penaeus Vannamei in Thailand
Researchers have sequenced a Hepanhamaparvovirus decapod1 (DHPV) strain from farmed Penaeus vannamei in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis shows the isolate groups with newly identified Type IV variants, distinct from the historic Types I‑III. The study fills a gap in genomic data for emerging DHPV strains in Asia. Results underscore the virus’s evolving diversity and potential impact on shrimp health.
Addressing the Forgotten Dimension: Protocol for a Mixed-Methods Study of Sexual Health in Neurological Rehabilitation Patients and Their Care Team
A mixed‑methods study at a 24‑bed neuro‑rehabilitation unit in Brussels will assess sexual health among inpatients and gauge clinicians' attitudes. Approximately 30 patients will complete validated questionnaires while 10‑15 will join in‑depth interviews, and staff will answer an anonymous survey...
Single-Ion Traps and Cubic Cavities for Field-Deployable Laser-Cooled Optical Atomic Clocks
Researchers have unveiled a compact, transportable strontium‑ion optical clock that outperforms existing microwave atomic clocks in accuracy while dramatically reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP). The design integrates a redesigned single‑ion trap and a dual‑axis cubic optical cavity that stabilizes...
On-Chain Peak Shaving of Ethereum Gas Fees
A new study of 62,142 Ethereum transactions from seven firms between January and March 2026 reveals that gas fees spike at 10 AM ET, driven primarily by speculative arbitrage. Only three firms successfully shift transactions to off‑peak windows, while four continue to...
Butterflies in the Stomach: A Qualitative Study of Patients’ Experiences During the Diagnostic Pathway for Lung Cancer
A qualitative study of 17 Norwegian lung‑cancer patients on fast‑track diagnostic pathways reveals that rapid, transparent communication fosters trust, yet the speed of the process creates emotional strain. Patients describe the diagnostic phase as a family‑wide project, balancing personal coping...
Seed Hijacking of LLM Sampling and Quantum Random Number Defense
Researchers expose SeedHijack, a backdoor that exploits deterministic pseudorandom number generators used in large language model (LLM) token sampling to inject attacker‑chosen tokens without altering model logits. In a 540‑trial benchmark, the attack hits 99.6% exact token injection on GPT‑2...
Comparative Visual Outcomes and Complications of Light Adjustable Intraocular Lens Technology: A Scoping Review
The scoping review examined 20 studies involving 1,645 eyes implanted with light‑adjustable intraocular lenses (LAL). Across six comparative trials, LAL lenses consistently showed lower residual refractive cylinder and better uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) than conventional monofocal IOLs. Safety analysis revealed...
Reduced-Frequency Dosing of FDA-Approved Bispecific Antibodies in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Systematic Review of Maintaining Efficacy While Reducing Infection- Related...
Bispecific antibodies targeting BCMA and GPRC5D have reshaped treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, delivering overall response rates of 61‑70% but causing grade ≥3 infections in nearly half of patients on weekly dosing. A systematic review of 14 studies involving more than...
A Thermodynamic Theory of Splicing
Researchers propose a thermodynamic model that explains splice‑site consensus sequences via binding energy to U1 snRNA. By representing nucleotide sequences as point‑sets, the model reproduces experimentally observed splice‑site patterns and ranks high‑probability motifs with near‑perfect agreement. The approach works best...
A Comprehensive Benchmarking of Spatial Deconvolution andDomain Detection Methods Across Diverse Tissues and SpatialTranscriptomic Technologies
The spDDB project delivers the first unified benchmark for spatial deconvolution and domain detection across 37 datasets spanning brain, cancer, and organ tissues and four major spatial transcriptomics platforms. It evaluates 21 deconvolution and 18 domain‑detection tools, introducing the SynthST...
Energy Potential and Thermochemical Characterization of Sorghum Bicolor and Pennisetum Purpureum Compartments for Bioenergy Generation
Researchers compared the energy properties of Sorghum bicolor and Pennisetum purpureum (elephant grass) across leaves, stems, and whole‑plant samples. Sorghum consistently showed higher calorific values and lower ash content, especially in stems, which recorded the peak energy density. Elephant grass...
Recommendations to Strengthen Collaboration in Treating Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Delphi Study
A three‑round Delphi study of 54 experts—GPs, orthopaedic surgeons and physical therapists—identified 14 actionable recommendations to improve collaboration in conservative knee and hip osteoarthritis care. Participants rated current collaboration at a modest 6.0 out of 10 and highlighted communication gaps,...
Human-Centered Autonomous Drone Deployments: A Comprehensive Survey on Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions
