An Unusual Presentation of Pleural Effusion in an Elderly Woman Post-COVID-19 Infection: A Case ReportAbstract
Pleural effusions are defined as accumulations of fluid in the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs. They are often secondary outcomes of underlying conditions, such as congestive heart failure, malignancy, or pneumonia. Acute cases of COVID-19 pneumonia have been linked to episodes of pleural effusion, but these cases are often rare. In this report, we analyze a case of pleural effusion in a 71-year-old female patient who had been declining after a recent COVID-19 infection and later died in the hospital. It is no [...] 1021 5461 |

Battlefield Acupuncture: Remembering a Pioneer and a Friend—In Memory of Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow, MD PhD MPH (1942–2025)Abstract
This contribution honours the life and legacy of Dr. Richard C. Niemtzow (1942–2025), the founder of Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) – a method that combines military medicine and traditional Eastern healing principles. Developed in the early 2000s for rapid, drug-free pain relief, BFA has since gained international recognition for its effectiveness and simplicity. The author reflects on the scientific collaboration with Dr. Niemtzow, which included advanced neurophysiological studies demonstrating BFA’s impact on pa [...] 723 5458 |
An Application of Excess Solar and Storage Capacity Optimization for Grid Servicesby
Abstract
This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency of utility demand response (DR) operations by coordinating and integrating behind-the-meter (BTM) photovoltaic systems (PV) and energy storage (ES) using innovative machine learning software applications embedded in a distributed control architecture. The project is in the process of creating distributed energy resource (DER) learning agents and optimization engine within a hierarchical and layered distributed control architecture (DCA). These components work together [...] 978 5456 |
Treatment Choices and Healthcare Services Utilization Amongst Lumbosacral Radiculopathy Patients: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trialby
Abstract
Lumbosacral radicular pain (LRP) is a common sequelae of low back pain, the world’s leading cause of years lived with disability. LRP typically causes numbness, weakness, and tingling into the lower extremity and is associated with high rates of pain and impaired function. Despite its prevalence, there is significant heterogeneity among clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of LRP, which may contribute to poor patient outcomes. The aim of the present study was to identify treatments that participants [...] 2108 5448 |

Potential CRISPR-Cas9-based Antiviral Activity Against Hepatitis C Virus in Liver CancerAbstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a primary global health concern, and though therapeutic options have improved, no very effective vaccine is available despite decades of research. The health and vitality of the organism are related to the result of homeostatic regulation of the internal environment. In contrast, it follows that disruption of homeostatic mechanisms leads to disease, particularly in liver cancer. Since HCV can rapidly mutate to evade the immune response, an effective HCV vaccine must rely on the identifica [...] 1143 5433 |
Olanzapine-Induced Hypothermia: A Case Report in an Elderly Black Male Patient Diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Type DisorderAbstract
There are few reports that describe incidence of hypothermia in patients treated with olanzapine. We report a case of an elderly 83-year-old black male, readmitted to the state psychiatric hospital December 2023 due to psychiatric exacerbation after 6 months of successful discharge to community, who experienced a fall and profound hypothermia with bradycardia that resulted in a 10-day acute hospitalization in January 2024. Medical workup was unrevealing except for multivessel disease found on CT stroke study of the [...] 611 5429 |
A Tail Within a Tale, Within a Tale: An Autoethnographic Account for Dog Lovers, Cat Lovers, and Story LoversAbstract
It was March-April 2020. The first few weeks of the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown had just begun. Anxiety levels were high, and being locked up at home was an unfamiliar and eerie situation. A music therapist sent her clients (elementary school children on the autism spectrum) daily videos of her dog, Robben, during his daily routines. She dubbed the dog as if he told the children a story about a tail-less cat. This endeavor resulted in a series of 27 storytelling episodes titled “Robben’s Pandemic Adventures”, [...] 1010 5426 |
Elaboration, Structural and Optical Characterization of the New Ternary Chalcogenide SnSb2S5by
Abstract
In this study, tin antimony sulfide (SnSb2S5) thin films with 200 nm, 312 nm, and 431 nm thicknesses were successfully fabricated using thermal evaporation. These films' structural, optical, and photoanode properties were meticulously characterized to assess their suitability for photovoltaic applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of an orthorhombic symmetry phase within the Pnma space group, ensuring the crystalline quality of the films. Raman spectroscopy further validated the cryst [...] 913 5414 |
