Public Procurement's Long COVID: Emergency Responses and Shifting Corruption Risks in Europe
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic caused an unprecedented surge in spending to combat the pandemic with widespread accusations of corruption. The magnitude, drivers, and trajectory of corruption across the pandemic response remain underexplored. This paper approximates the impacts of the pandemic on public procurement corruption risks and the mechanisms ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

Hypoxia‐induced vulnerability of the somatosensory nervous system
Abstract figure legend Sensory neurons are highly energy dependent and rely on sufficient oxygen availability to maintain metabolic stability and effective neurocommunication. Within the somatosensory system, even modest reductions in tissue oxygen tension impair neuronal respiration, forcing a shift toward less efficient metabolic pathways that ...

Nasal Alar Subunit Reconstruction: A Review of Data
This review summarizes evidence on nasal alar subunit reconstruction, analyzing 35 studies reporting techniques, defect sizes, and outcomes. Local flaps are most commonly used for small defects, while regional flaps, particularly melolabial and paramedian forehead flaps, are preferred for larger or total alar defects, with cartilage support improving ...

ABSTRACT The healing of diabetic chronic wounds is hindered by multiple pathological barriers, including oxidative stress imbalance induced by hyperglycemia, persistent bacterial infection, and impaired neovascular function. This study developed an F127–HA–BiOCl@CeO2 (FHBC) hydrogel dressing with acoustic responsiveness, achieving tissue repair through
