Pharmacological Strategies to Enhance Bone Graft Integration: Emerging Agents and Molecular Pathways

Received: 15 May 2025;  Published: 31 December 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2504262

Abstract

Bone grafting remains a cornerstone technique in orthopedic and reconstructive surgery, yet achieving successful graft integration continues to pose significant challenges, particularly in conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, and large bone defects. Traditional graft materials such as autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetics, often encounter limitations including immune rejection, poor vascularization, and insufficient osteogenic support. Emerging pharmacological strategies have shown promi [...]

Maladjustment in Minority Youth from Community Network Disparities in the COVID-19 Lockdown Environment

Received: 17 April 2024;  Published: 04 August 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2503295

Abstract

Pandemic lockdown orders resulted in closures to critical community networks. One such infrastructure was community recreation centers/parks. This infrastructure serves a critical role in building psychosocial wellness for youth. Socioeconomic minority youth face baseline disparity in center/park distribution and services. Youth recreation activity declined 50% as result of lockdown orders with corresponding decline in youth mental health status. Despite overall youth activity decline, White and high socioeconomic [...]

Fabrication of CuO-Decorated Fe2O3 Nanoparticles as Efficient and Durable Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Received: 09 August 2025;  Published: 07 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2504009

Abstract

The electrochemical water oxidation application of CuO@Fe2O3 materials as potential catalysts is being reported for the first time. A series of CuO@Fe2O3 with different molar ratios of CuO (5, 7, 10, 12, and 15%) was fabricated through precipitation followed by the impregnation method. Structural and electrochemical studies were carried out by using different analytical platforms, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive [...]

Nursing Care for a Patient with a Risk of Suicide Due to Depression Using the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Approach: Case Study

Received: 11 September 2025;  Published: 17 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2504309

Abstract

Adolescent depression is linked to suicidal ideation and attempts. Nurses are well-positioned to deliver brief, supportive interventions. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes solutions and the activation of personal resources. To describe the feasibility and clinical utility of SFBT, delivered alongside pharmacotherapy, for reducing suicide risk in an adolescent with depression. Single-case report using a nursing process approach in a 17-year-old female inpatient with a major depressive episode and high [...]

Deep Learning Approaches for Predicting Strain Energy in Heterogeneous Materials

Received: 15 July 2025;  Published: 24 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpm.2504016

Abstract

This paper investigates data-driven strain energy prediction for heterogeneous elastic materials using the Mechanical MNIST benchmark dataset (60,000 28 × 28 stiffness maps by precomputed finite-element results). The results by classical regression models (linear regression, random forest, and gradient boosting) using hand-crafted features were compared with the results by the deep learning models (Convolutional neural network (CNN) and residual network (ResNet)) trained end-to-end on images. In held-out tests, CNN [...]

Network Topology Similarities Across Cancer Types: Identifying Central Protein Hubs for Drug Discovery

Received: 18 June 2025;  Published: 13 October 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2504312

Abstract

A molecular-level understanding of cancer is essential for the development of effective therapies. Constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks offers a valuable approach to identifying dysregulated driver genes and potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we modeled cancer PPI networks as metric spaces and applied mathematical and computational algorithms to analyze their structural and functional properties. Our findings reveal that these networks share a conserved architecture across different ca [...]

Evaluation of the Transitional Pain Service Specialized Iyengar-Informed Yoga Program for Chronic Post-Surgical Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Received: 29 April 2025;  Published: 30 September 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2503041

Abstract

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a specialized Iyengar-informed yoga intervention for individuals who experience chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). This prospective, multi-wave pilot RCT was pre-registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03460028) and designed in accordance with the 2010 CONSORT statement. Participants (N = 21) with CPSP were out-patients or community members affiliated with a Toronto hospital. Participants were randomized to an 8-wee [...]
