Influence of the Uncertainty in the Dam‐Breach Hydrograph on the Flood Hazard Assessment in a Valley Area

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

Can diabetic peripheral neuropathy influence the final outcome of physical performance after a combined training program in older adults? A double‐blind quasi‐experimental study

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Illustration of the main findings of the study. Abstract This study investigated the influence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on physical performance in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following a combined training (CT) program. A total of 51 older adults participated in the study divided into DPN (n = 24) and non‐DPN (n = 27)

Sprayable Polymer Blends With Short‐Chain Surface Segregation for Preventing Postoperative Abdominal Adhesions

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 19, 22 May 2026.
Adhesions’ high occurrence rates and high morbidity render them a critical challenge to be addressed. Current prevention methods, such as physical barriers, have many limitations, resulting in inconsistent safety and efficacy. This study demonstrates the potential for sprayable polymeric materials as an adhesion barrier.

Methodological Appraisal of the Munro Scale: Psychometric Properties and Diagnostic Accuracy in Adult Surgical Patients: A Methodological Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pressure injuries during the perioperative period can adversely affect postoperative outcomes and patient recovery. An essential component of prevention and patient care is systematic risk assessment. The Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale is a perioperative‐specific tool designed to evaluate patients' risk for pressure ...

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 3155-3173, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design
