Recent Advances in Photonic Bound States in the Continuum: From Fundamentals to Engineering and Implementation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent progress in meta‐photonics with a focus on bound states in the continuum (BICs) as a powerful platform for light confinement and control. It covers fundamental concepts, design strategies across optical regimes, symmetry breaking for practical quasi‐BICs, tunable and AI‐assisted BIC devices, and emerging applications in ...

Association of the weight-adjusted waist index with hypertension in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine

EPMA Journal
Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent global health concern. From the standpoint of preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM), early detection of HTN offers a crucial opportunity for targeted prevention and personalized treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and HTN risk.A case-control ...

Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Association between sarcopenia and weight-adjusted waist index in male patients with type 2 diabetes

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background The Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) has emerged as a predictive factor for a range of metabolic disorders. To date, the predictive value of the WWI in relation to sarcopenia in individuals with diabetics has not been extensively explored ...

Impact of a low‐carbohydrate diet on cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes: An 8‐year longitudinal study within the ELSA‐Brasil cohort

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low‐carbohydrate diets (LCDs) are widely adopted for metabolic management, but their long‐term cardiometabolic effects in diverse populations remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association between self‐selected moderate LCD adherence and cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes.

Maternal corticotropin-releasing hormone is associated with LEP DNA methylation at birth and in childhood: an epigenome-wide study in Project Viva [PDF]

BackgroundCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) plays a central role in regulating the secretion of cortisol which controls a wide range of biological processes. Fetuses overexposed to cortisol have increased risks of disease in later life.
