Long-term back pain recall in Generation XXI adolescents: the role of sensitivity and pain history by Nare Navasardyan, Ana Henriques, Sónia Bernardes, Elsa Mateus, Makram Talih, Raquel Lucas

“…As this issue is underexplored in adolescents, we aimed to quantify the long-term back pain recall and assess its association with other pain-related factors and experiences. Methods:. We analyzed data of 1,089 participants from the Generation XXI birth cohort (Portugal), comparing back pain reported at age 13 (Lübeck Pain-Screening Questionnaire) to recalled back pain at 18 (explicit pain memory), investigating instances of forgetting/under-recalling, over-recalling, concordantly recalling presence/absence of back pain. …”

A Study of the Components of Medical Ethics in Ancient Persian Literature and Its Comparison with Modern Medical Ethics by A Ebrahimi Mehr

“…The society of literature, using their creative and poetic nature, have recounted the relationship between a physician and a patient, sometimes in the form of stories and sometimes in explicit language. Although the field of medical knowledge and technology has made significant progress in recent decades and modern medical ethics has replaced traditional ethics, it seems that some acts and rights related to patients in the contemporary era are the moral heritage contained in ancient works, and in order to develop and complete ethical principles, we can return to this valuable heritage and support. …”

Multispectral Extended Depth-of-Field Imaging via Stochastic Wavefront Optimization by Exequiel Oliva, Nelson Diaz, Samuel Pinilla, Esteban Vera

“…Extended depth-of-field (EDoF) is a desirable attribute for imaging systems where all features in the scene are in focus despite their relative distance. Traditional imaging systems can achieve EDoF by reducing the aperture size at the expense of signal-to-noise ratio, particularly relevant in spectral imaging systems where incoming light is further divided. …”

A KAN-based interpretable framework for prediction of global warming potential across chemical space by Jaewook Lee, Xinyang Sun, Ethan Errington, Calum Drysdale, Miao Guo

“…First, by incorporating molecular descriptors (MACCS keys, Mordred descriptors) and process-level information (process title, description, location), the Deep Neural Network (DNN) model achieved an R² of 86 % on the test data, representing a 25 % improvement over the most comparable benchmark reported in prior studies. XAI analysis further highlights the crucial role of process-related features, particularly process title embeddings, in enhancing model predictions. …”
