Molecular dynamics is an essential tool for studying the formation of surface patterns in their early stages under low-energy bombardment. Recently, it has been shown that semiconductor surfaces such as Si can reorganize under ultra-low-energy conditions to form surface patterns. In this work, we investigate the formation of patterns on metal surfaces under these conditions. To accelerate the process, a longitudinal substrate model was employed, with clusters selected as projectiles. As is well known, pattern forma [...]

This study explores the use of plant extract to reduce corrosion on low-carbon steel reinforcement embedded in concrete. It is globally known that structures exposed to corrosive environments can collapse due to deterioration of the steel rods embedded in the concrete. The corrosion-inhibition potential of leaves, bark, and root extracts of Boswelia dalzelia (BD) on concrete reinforcement was investigated using a half-cell potentiometer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The half-cell potential readin [...]

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy with genetic and clinical characteristics. Recent advances in multi-omic technologies, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, immunomics, microbiome profiling, and both spatial and single-cell analyses, have greatly enhanced our understanding of AML pathobiology. Substantial multi-omic studies show that recurrent driver mutations not only impart traditional genomic lesions but also participate in chromatin re [...]

Stress is a multifaceted response involving physiological, psychological, and behavioural processes, with neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine playing key modulatory roles. This study aimed to map global research trends on stress and neurotransmitters, identify thematic clusters, and highlight emerging frontiers relevant to health and disease. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on 4,132 publications indexed in Scopus between 2000 and 2023. Data were retrieved and processed using Exce [...]

Waste-derived briquettes offer a promising alternative to fossil fuels and are characterised by low production costs, high volumetric calorific value, robust mechanical strength, and excellent durability. To optimize their adoption, four variants of waste-derived briquettes were produced with different mass ratios of sawdust to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) using high-pressure compaction without binders. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the Coats-Redfern method were e [...]

Kidney transplantation is the preferred therapy for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), but long-term success is greatly influenced by the selection and safety of immunosuppressants. Local data on prescribing patterns and the incidence of drug side effects in Indonesia are still limited. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate induction therapy patterns, immunosuppressant maintenance, and the incidence of drug-related side effects among kidney transplant recipients at a tertiary hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Mater [...]

Perinatal mental health challenges are the number one complication of pregnancy and childbearing. Despite the growing need, substantial barriers to addressing perinatal mental health exist, including lack of infrastructure, policies, and workforce. Baby Talk, a free prenatal education program, sought to address this growing need through a brief intervention for those with a positive screening. Baby Talk partnered with a local suicide prevention program to develop a tool to enhance access to care and to support emot [...]

Patients with severe neurological sequelae often experience profound motor deconditioning that, combined with impaired mucociliary clearance, reduced lung volume, and the presence of tracheostomy, predisposes them to pulmonary infections and serious respiratory complications. A 24-year-old male with spastic quadriplegia secondary to childhood cerebral hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation, tracheostomy with a cuffed cannula under mechanical ventilation, and hydrocephalus treated with a ventriculoperitoneal [...]

The textile industry is a major source of environmental pollution due to the discharge of highly colored and chemically complex wastewater containing toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic compounds that are often resistant to conventional treatment. Although conventional chemical coagulants and flocculants such as alum and synthetic polymers are effective, their application raises concerns about excessive sludge generation, residual toxicity, and long-term environmental impacts. This short review critically evaluates [...]

Cancer remains one of the major global challenges due to its complex and heterogeneous molecular nature across individuals. Recent advances in technology have enhanced the understanding of cancer’s molecular mechanisms, paving the way for the development of effective therapeutics. These include small-molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, used to interfere with the oncogenic signaling pathways. Immunotherapy has also emerged as a promising area in cancer therapy, with approaches such as immune checkpoint in [...]
