Effective Behavior Change Techniques for Successful Weight Loss and Weight Loss Maintenance Among Adults With Overweight and Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Achieving and maintaining weight loss are challenging and require sustained lifestyle changes. This study examined which behavior change techniques (BCTs) support long‐term weight outcomes among adults with overweight or obesity. We synthesized evidence from randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions versus control or alternative

Performing Western Belonging through PVE

Abstract This chapter explores preventing violent extremism (PVE) in Lithuania, Croatia, and Czechia—drawing comparisons with other countries in the central and eastern European (CEE) region. While PVE expanded across western and northern Europe in response to the 9/11 and subsequent terrorist attacks, the CEE region has experienced very

Impact of MRI slice thickness and fiducial marker orientation on geometric accuracy in multi‐echo GRE imaging for prostate radiotherapy planning

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Precise target definition in prostate radiotherapy requires accurate computed tomography (CT)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image registration using gold fiducial markers (GFMs). While multi‐echo gradient recalled echo (ME GRE) sequences facilitate GFM identification, the quantitative impact of acquisition parameters on physical ...

Baseline Regional Cholinergic Denervation Predicts Cognitive Trajectories in Moderate Parkinson Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 8, Page 1569-1580, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive decline is a disabling and variable feature of Parkinson disease (PD). While cholinergic system degeneration is linked to cognitive impairments in PD, most prior research reported cross‐sectional associations. We aimed to fill this gap by investigating whether baseline regional cerebral vesicular acetylcholine transporter ...

A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.

On the Role of Formers in Violent Extremism Tertiary Prevention Programs

Journal for Deradicalization
The question of what roles, if any, former extremists can or should play in PVE efforts is one that has received increased attention in recent years. This article contributes to that conversation by collecting input from preventing violent extremism (PVE)

The Spatial Divergence of Hypometabolism and Atrophy in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Combining 18F‐FDG PET and Structural MRI for Predicting Postoperative Seizure Freedom

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 11, 01 August 2026.
Structural MRI and 18F‐FDG‐PET reveal distinct structure‐metabolism decoupling in temporal lobe epilepsy. A presurgical machine learning model integrating these complementary radiomics with clinical features robustly predicts postoperative seizure freedom, achieving prognostic efficacy that could rival models reliant on actual resection data.

Genome‐Wide Association Study of Lean Body Mass Response to Resistance Training in Young Asians

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Resistance training (RT) is an established intervention for increasing lean body mass (LBM), individual hypertrophic responses exhibit significant heterogeneity, largely influenced by genetic factors. This genome‐wide association study (GWAS) aimed to identify novel genetic variants associated with changes in lean body mass (∆LBM ...
