Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

A two‐step formula constant optimization strategy for minimal standard deviation and zero mean prediction error in IOL power calculation

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page 181-192, March 2026.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the precision and accuracy performance of a two‐step approach for optimizing lens formula constants (FC) with a refractive offset correction (RO) as a second tuning parameter. Methods Using IOLMaster 700 biometric data from 4 datasets (886/613/821/467 eyes treated with the Hoya Vivinex/Johnson&Johnson ZCB00/Alcon SA60AT ...

Childhood Linear Growth and Early Morbidity as Predictors of Adolescent Cognitive Ability in Malawi: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 3, Page 634-642, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Growth faltering and loss of development potential are common in low‐ and middle‐income countries. We aimed to study whether linear growth before and after 2 years, height‐for‐age Z‐score (HAZ) from 1 month until 13 years and morbidity during the first 3 years predict adolescent cognitive ability.

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...
