New inventory of glaciers in Tajikistan from 3 m PlanetScope imagery (2024): the Tajikistan Glacier Inventory (TGI).

Scientific data May 23, 2026

Glaciers in Tajikistan serve as a crucial water source in Central Asia. However, existing glacier data products suffer from several limitations, including outdated temporal coverage, coarse spatial resolution, and inadequate mapping of debris-covered... read more

Machine learning-driven optimization of performance and emissions in a butanol/diesel CI engine.

Scientific reports May 23, 2026

A hybrid modeling framework integrating experiments, CONVERGE CFD, and Optuna-optimized ensemble machine learning is developed to predict and optimize performance and emission characteristics of a DI-CI engine fueled with butanol/diesel blends. Machi... read more

Estimating temporal treatment-effect patterns of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in lower-grade gliomas using causal machine learning.

Scientific reports May 23, 2026

Treatment decisions for lower-grade gliomas (WHO grades 2-3) rest on trial averages, which lack temporal resolution. We applied Causal Analysis of Survival Trajectories (CAST), a causal-machine-learning method that builds treatment-effect trajectorie... read more

Application and effectiveness of artificial intelligence in adolescent mental health support and therapy: a scoping review.

BMC psychiatry May 23, 2026

BACKGROUND: Adolescents are highly vulnerable to mental health conditions, yet traditional counseling models may not fully address their evolving needs. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities and challenges for support... read more

Automated measurement of the minimum macular hole diameter based on optical coherence tomography images.

BMC ophthalmology May 23, 2026

BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of minimum macular hole (MH) diameter is essential for diagnosis and treatment. The manual measurement approach by ophthalmologists is time-consuming, poorly reproducible, and exhibits high inter-observer variability.... read more

An interactive anatomy tool to boost clinical reasoning and knowledge retention for preclinical medical students: a preliminary evaluation.

BMC medical education May 23, 2026

INTRODUCTION: Anatomy teaching in preclinical medical education has become increasingly compressed, making it more difficult for students to integrate foundational anatomical knowledge with clinical reasoning. Upper limb nerve lesions are particularl... read more

Phenotype discovery and mortality prediction in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction: a deep learning and stratified modeling approach.

BMC medical informatics and decision making May 23, 2026

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a common and heterogeneous complication in patients with sepsis and is associated with increased mortality. This study aimed to identify distinct clinical phenotypes of SIMD using unsupervised deep lear... read more

Cerebrospinal fluid volume outperforms traditional measures for predicting treatment failure in infant hydrocephalus.

Fluids and barriers of the CNS May 23, 2026

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy with choroid plexus cauterization (ETV/CPC) offers an alternative to shunt placement for infant hydrocephalus, avoiding shunt-related complications when successful. However, approximately 40% of procedures... read more

Microbial systems for azo dye biodegradation: enzymatic mechanisms, microbial consortia, and emerging biotechnological strategies.

Microbial cell factories May 23, 2026

Azo dyes are the most widely used class of synthetic colorants in textile and related industries; however, their discharge into natural ecosystems poses severe environmental and human-health concerns due to their xenobiotic structure, toxicity, and r... read more
