Comparison of the Usefulness of Covered and Uncovered Laser‐cut Metal Stents
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of laser‐cut self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) and to compare the outcomes between covered and uncovered laser‐cut SEMS for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO). Methods A multicenter retrospective analysis was conducted across eight Japanese university hospitals ...

Abstract Dissolved silicate (DSi) export from rivers is shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Using long‐term observations at Lijin station combined with chemical weathering and reservoir silicon cycling models, we reconstructed annual DSi fluxes and source‐sink dynamics in the Yellow River Basin since the 1980s.

Abstract Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a persistent pollutant with potential long‐term effects on the environment and on health. Recent studies using ice core records report large increases (up to tenfold) in Arctic TFA deposition since the 1970s, and trends suggest long‐lived chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) replacements may be a major source.

Trend of North African Dust Storms and Potential Link to Climate Change
Abstract Over recent decades, North African dust storms have undergone marked variability, reflecting complex interactions between regional climate processes and environmental change. Using four decades (1984–2023) of visibility‐based observational records, we examine regional and seasonal trends in dust storm frequency across the Sahel and the Sahara,

ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder with structural brain alterations; however, the roles of cortical surface area (CSA) and cortical thickness (CTh) during adolescence remain unclear. Building on frequent reports of gray matter reductions in the cingulate cortex and precuneus, this study assesses CSA, CTh, and ...

ABSTRACT Background Vancomycin (VCM), a first‐line treatment option for infections caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, has been reported to cause nephrotoxicity even within therapeutic concentration ranges. Traditional therapeutic drug monitoring strategies rely primarily on the area under the concentration–time curve (AUC), without ...
