Hepatitis A virus (HAV) typically causes a self-limiting illness in children. Rarely, it can progress to fulminant hepatic failure (FHF), and even less commonly, may be followed by features suggestive of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The diagnostic overlap can be particularly challenging in tropical regions, where endemic infections such as dengue and malaria may present with similar clinical features.

Significant progress has been achieved in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs) by concentrating on structural engineering, band-alignment engineering, and enhancing the interfacial functionality of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). Nonetheless, designing a durable and efficient photovoltaic device still represents a considerable obstacle for scientists in this domain. The present work demonstrates that the photovoltaic performance of PbS CQDSCs can be increased by adding 1-5 wt % yttrium into the zinc oxide (YZO) ETL.

We employ three analytical methods: the Kumar-Malik method, the generalized Arnous method, and the energy balance method to derive novel closed-form solutions. These solutions exhibit diverse solitonic phenomena, including multi-wave solitons, complex solitons, singular solitons, periodic oscillating waves, dark-wave, and bright-wave profiles.

Fusarium species from diseased tubers were isolated based on morphological features. 18 S-Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and Translation Elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) based analysis followed by phylogenetic tree constructed using ITS, TEF1-α and RNA polymerase II subunit B (RPB2) identified Fusarium isolates as Fusarium verticilloides, Fusarium soloni, Fusarium falciforme and Fusarium oxysporum.

To address this challenge, this study introduces the novel concept of the Hesitant Fuzzy Tensor (HFT), a multidimensional extension of hesitant fuzzy sets, capable of representing multiple opinions across complex criteria spaces. The proposed HFT framework captures hesitation more effectively by organizing hesitant fuzzy data within tensorial structures, enabling more comprehensive analysis in group decision-making scenarios.

Despite its significance, current video analytics rely on manual indexing, a time-consuming process. Advances in computer vision, particularly deep learning, offer automation potential, yet progress is limited by the lack of publicly available, densely annotated surgical datasets.

While recently several methods have been reported in the literature that have demonstrated impressive detection performance on standard benchmarks, they necessarily rely on computationally intensive CNN architectures and post-processing techniques, necessitating access to high-end GPU hardware and limiting practical deployment in resource-constrained settings. In this study, we introduce a novel anomaly detection framework that leverages feature maps from a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) backbone, MobileNetV2, and cascaded detection to achieve notable accuracy as well as computational efficiency.

Wave propagation in shallow water, fluid movement in dynamic systems, and wave propagation in nonlinear media are just a few of the physical processes it replicates. We derive new closed-form solutions for travelling waves, including a range of soliton waveforms, such as periodic, bell-type, kink-type, solitary kink, and multiple kink waves, by using the extended direct algebraic technique.

Many neurodevelopmental defects are linked to genes involved in housekeeping functions, such as those encoding ribosome biogenesis factors. How reductions in ribosome biogenesis can result in tissue- and developmental-specific defects remains unclear. Here we describe variants in the ribosome biogenesis factor AIRIM/C1orf109 that are primarily associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) represent a diverse and heterogeneous group of conditions, including neurodevelopmental delay (NDD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and neurodevelopmental encephalopathy with epilepsy (NDEE). While these disorders often share phenotypic similarities, their underlying genetic causes can vary widely, making clinical diagnosis challenging.
Methods: In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on a family having an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder.

Background: Polydactyly is one of the most common hereditary limb malformations, characterized by presence of additional digits in hands and/or feet. It is present either in isolated form or in combination with other features. Preaxial polydactyly with extra digit on the outside of the thumb or big toe, and postaxial polydactyly with extra digit on the outside of the little finger or little toe are the two main forms of polydactyly.

We compare the effectiveness of β-fractional and M-truncated fractional derivatives in solving the complex fractional GPE. This comparison reveals that while both fractional derivatives enable the construction of diverse optical soliton solutions-including hyperbolic, periodic, Jacobi elliptic, and exponential forms-the β-derivative provides smoother soliton profiles with computational simplicity, whereas the M-truncated derivative captures richer oscillatory dynamics due to its enhanced memory effects.
