Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2880-2896, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

Comparison Between Respiratory‐Triggered and Free‐Breathing Signal Acquisition Methods for Single‐Voxel Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of the Liver on a Clinical System

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 702-711, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The optimal protocol for clinical liver 31P‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) remains unclear. Single‐voxel 31P‐MRS using image‐selected in vivo spectroscopy (ISIS) employs respiratory‐triggering (RT) or free‐breathing (FB) acquisition.

Quantitative Spatiotemporal Analysis of Ultrasound Images of Fasciculations in ALS

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 644-655, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Fasciculations are a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), yet quantitative description of individual events on muscle ultrasound (MUS) is limited. We characterized the spatiotemporal kinematics of individual fasciculations to determine whether they differ between ALS and other neurogenic conditions.

Society for Maternal‐Fetal Medicine Special Statement: Reducing the risk of transmitting infection during ultrasound examination—Updated 2026

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Ultrasound examinations have the potential to transmit infections between individuals. The risk can be reduced by following certain well‐described procedures to clean and disinfect ultrasound transducers between examinations. However, surveys have shown widespread lapses in the cleaning and disinfection of transducers and other equipment.

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 9, Page 6-23, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Factors Associated With Female Adolescent Usage of Modern Contraceptives in Northern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Survey of a Rural Municipality

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Among 408 sexually active adolescent girls in rural northern Ghana, modern contraceptive use was low (20.8%) despite high awareness (75.2%). Maternal education and information from health workers/teachers were associated with lower use, whereas clinic availability increased use. Interventions must move beyond awareness to address social norms and youth‐
