Medicine for the Material World

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 434-439, June 2026.
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Ascorbic Acid Modulates Collagen Properties in Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteoporotic Bone: Insights into Chemical, Mechanical, and Biological Regulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 12, 25 March 2026.
Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

A Novel Area Efficient and High‐Speed BCD Adder Using CFA and Multiplexer in Quantum‐Dot Cellular Automata

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 226-234, February 2026.
This paper proposes a new enhanced Single Digit BCD Adder (SDBA) to perform decimal addition optimally. Quantum‐dot Cellular Automata (QCA) will construct nanostructured arithmetic circuits for future computing. One of the vital structures in arithmetic structures is the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)/Decimal Adder. The existing Decimal Adders require many

Assessing Habitat Suitability and Range Dynamics of Syzygium alternifolium (Wight) Walp Under Future Climatic Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We modeled the current and future habitat suitability of the endangered tree species Syzygium alternifolium using MaxEnt under two climate scenarios (SSP245 and SSP585) for 2050 and 2070. The model showed high accuracy (AUC = 0.93), with significant future range expansion projected outside protected areas, highlighting urgent conservation gaps.

Tuberculosis Masquerading as Behcet's Disease‐Pseudo Bechet's Syndrome: A Case‐Based Review of Literature

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
We report a case of recurrent oral/scrotal ulcers with systemic symptoms in a 33‐year‐old man masked pulmonary tuberculosis: imaging showed cavitary consolidations with effusion, and thoracoscopic pleural biopsy demonstrated acid‐fast bacilli. Anti‐tubercular therapy led to complete resolution, underscoring TB as a key Behçet's mimic to exclude before ...

New Diterpenes From the Soft Coral Xenia macrospiculata, Evaluation of Their Activity Against Fruit Pathogenic Fungi, and In Silico Study of Toxicity to Humans

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The ethyl acetate solvent extract of the soft coral Xenia macrospiculata, collected from the Red Sea coast of Eritrea, has been investigated for novel bioactive compounds against the two most prevalent postharvest fungal pathogens, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus, which damage the fruits and cause significant yield losses and quality ...
