Prediction of Acute Liver Injury Trajectory in Patients Following Acetaminophen Overdose: A Multibiomarker Machine Learning Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Clinical translation of novel therapies can be hindered by heterogeneity‐driven sample size inflation in late‐stage trials. In acetaminophen‐induced liver injury (APAP DILI), many patients recover spontaneously, diluting investigational drug efficacy signals.

Do witnesses of functional/dissociative seizures recall them accurately? A UK experimental study of semiology recall at clinically relevant time points with a pilot intervention

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Different causes of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) carry distinct risks and require different management. Early accurate diagnosis is essential to guide counseling, investigation, and referral. In routine practice, frontline clinicians and specialists often rely on eyewitness accounts, yet the reliability of witness testimony

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.
