Arthroplasty surgery is a common and successful end-stage intervention for advanced osteoarthritis. Yet, postoperative outcomes vary significantly among patients, leading to a plethora of measures and associated measurement approaches to monitor patient outcomes. Traditional approaches rely heavily on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are widely used, but often lack sensitivity to detect function changes (e.

DNA transfer events have been well researched in the context of commonly found items at crime scenes. However, whilst animals are a common feature of most households, transfer events involving companion animals have been understudied. Recent research has shown that dogs and cats are a reservoir of human DNA that can transfer to a hand or sterile object after a short contact.

We report a novel and highly effective UV-Vis sensing platform based on plasmonic copper (II) sulfide-capsulated polystyrene nanoparticles (PS@CuS NPs) for the rapid, ultrasensitive, and selective detection of Hg . The detection mechanism is driven by a specific anion-exchange reaction between Hg and CuS, resulting in the in-situ transformation of plasmonic CuS into non-plasmonic HgS, which induces a distinct and quantifiable shift in UV-Vis absorption. This structural and optical evolution enables the platform to achieve an exceptionally low detection limit of 20 pM within just 5 min, far below most regulatory thresholds, and a wide linear detection range from 20 pM to 30 nM.

Exposure to traumatic events is common amongst children from refugee backgrounds. Given the restricted access of refugee children to formal specialist resources and disrupted parental support mechanisms in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), teachers are increasingly expected to be the primary responders to the complex psychosocial needs of trauma-exposed refugee children. However, despite LMICs hosting over two-thirds of the world's refugee children, our current knowledge of how teachers respond to these needs is predominantly drawn from studies conducted in well-resourced, high-income countries, which fails to capture the unique experiences of teachers in inadequately resourced schools in LMICs.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread signaling mechanism in bacteria that coordinates collective behaviors according to population density. A foundational assumption in this field is that QS functions as a gene expression switch that synchronizes responses at the population level. While some studies indeed report homogeneous on/off transitions, others report heterogeneity at the cellular level, challenging the canonical view.
