Article Abstract
Introduction: Connecting individuals to recovery support services such as recovery community centers and mutual help organizations can be crucial for sustaining recovery from addiction. However, there may be barriers to engagement with recovery support services on individual (e.g., limited motivation) and structural (e.g., limited information on recovery resources) levels. This pilot study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel online social support intervention (Let's Do Addiction Recovery Together!, abbreviated as LDART) that uses pre-recorded videos created by members from several recovery support services to help individuals in early recovery from hazardous alcohol use sustain motivation during recovery and introduce them to freely available recovery support services in the community.
Methods And Analysis: This will be a non-randomized mixed-method pilot study. We will recruit 30 adults who engaged in past-year hazardous alcohol use and have some desire to cut down or quit to use LDART every night for a month. A subset of these participants will be invited to participate in a semi-structured qualitative interview after completing the study. Primary outcomes will be feasibility parameters such as recruitment and retention rates, and acceptability measures such as frequency of intervention use. Secondary outcomes will include self-reported changes in alcohol use, engagement in recovery support services, and quality of life at one-month post-intervention relative to baseline.
Discussion: Results of this pilot study will inform a randomized controlled trial to examine efficacy of this intervention, with the goal of creating an accessible and scalable intervention that has direct benefits on individuals who want to cut down or quit problematic alcohol use.
Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06022107.

Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant (mIDH) gliomas are malignant central nervous system tumours. After initial resection, patients with mIDH gliomas with favourable prognosis may live without receiving oncologic treatment for years, but ultimately patients will experience recurrence and require radio- and/or chemotherapy (RT/CT). Cost-utility analyses (CUA) can explore the value of treatments that delay recurrence and initiation of RT/CT.

Wetlands play a crucial role in global greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics, yet their response to climate change is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigate how increasing temperature and oxygen availability interact to regulate wetland GHG emissions through combined analysis of biogeochemical and functional gene measurements. We found distinct temperature-dependent shifts in carbon emission pathways, with CO emissions unexpectedly declining as temperature rose from 15 to 25 °C, while increasing consistently at higher temperatures (25-35 °C), reflecting a transition to more thermally-driven processes.

Food contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), especially ultra-short-chain (USC) compounds, poses a growing concern due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks. Despite the developing regulatory framework, analytical challenges persist in quantifying polar USC-PFAS in complex content food matrices. This study presents the development and validation of a novel high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the accurate determination of USC-PFAS (carbon chain length from one to four, C1-C4) in tomato-based products (i.

This study explores the integration of traditional Chinese "Fu" culture into the moral education system for students with disabilities across K-12 and higher education through artificial intelligence. By leveraging soft computing to handle cultural ambiguities, it constructs an adaptive educational framework that aligns students' cognitive characteristics with curriculum demands, thereby enhancing their identification with Chinese culture. Guided by the theory of the "Second Combination," the research employs AI-powered soft computing to analyze the semantic and cognitive dimensions of "Fu" culture.

Molecular recognition and determination of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and natriuretic peptide C-type (NPPC) are essential for the early prognosis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, especially in young obese populations. Highly sensitive and selective devices characterized by low Limits of quantification are required for their determination in whole blood. Therefore, a 3D stochastic sensor was developed by immobilizing a chitosan hydrogel onto a carbon paste electrode (used as the support matrix for the hydrogel), which was subsequently modified with gold nanoparticles, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD/AuNPs@MWCNT/CS/CPE).
