PrEP Use and Willingness Cascades Among Transgender Women in 11 Asian Countries: Findings From the PrEP APPEAL Cross-Sectional Online Survey

The 2022 PrEP APPEAL online survey included 1,178 transgender women in 11 Asian countries. Awareness was 80.0%; among those aware, 62.6% had ever used PrEP, and 78.1% of ever-users were current users. Among higher-risk PrEP-naïve respondents, 60.0% were willing to use it, but only 34.0% of those willing would pay. Healthcare discrimination was associated with lower lifetime use; causality cannot be inferred.

Food process and formulation evidence13 Jul 2026

Pectinase optimization prioritized bioactive recovery before developing a three-fruit beverage

Date juice was extracted with 0.1% pectinase at 50-80°C for 60-240 minutes. Fifty degrees for 60 minutes was selected for functional quality, yielding 326.33 mg GAE/100 mL phenolics, 1.08 mg beta-carotene equivalents/100 mL carotenoids and strong DPPH/FRAP activity, although maximum 81.25% yield occurred at 60°C for 240 minutes. Six simplex-lattice beverage blends were developed; the 70% date and 15% each of two companion fruits scored highest at 6.50. All blends improved measured bioactives versus control with stable pH and acidity.

Laboratory electrolyte evidence13 Jul 2026

Alginate-lignin raised ionic conductivity in a biobased gel electrolyte by nearly fourteenfold

A green gel polymer electrolyte combining sodium alginate, lignin and Na2SO4 was compositionally optimized. Conductivity reached 2.91×10^-4 S/cm versus 2.09×10^-5 S/cm in the baseline, about a 13.9-fold increase. Dielectric and electric-modulus analysis indicated shorter relaxation and improved carrier dynamics, ionic transference reached 0.98, and the stability window reached 2.85 V. Excess salt caused ion association and reduced transport.

Technology review evidence13 Jul 2026

Nanophotonics is converging with wearables, microfluidics and AI for point-of-care diagnostics

This review traces optical point-of-care biosensors from plasmonic materials, quantum dots, MOFs and MXenes that amplify signals and lower detection limits to integration with microfluidics, AI and the Internet of Medical Things. Discussed formats include lab-on-chip, hospital-on-chip, wearable, skin-embedded and tattoo sensors for continuous monitoring. Green nanotechnology and self-powered triboelectric systems are proposed to reduce energy and environmental burdens, while a large prototype-to-clinic gap remains.

Sensors and Physics-Informed AI73IMPACT SIGNAL

Interdisciplinary review evidence13 Jul 2026

Embedding physics in machine learning can make sensor-driven models more robust

Networked nanosensor data are high-dimensional, incomplete, noisy and nonlinear, challenging both first-principles and purely data-driven models. This review presents physics-informed supervised learning that embeds conservation laws, stochastic noise and network dynamics into regression and classification. It also covers cleaning, feature engineering, fusion, Kalman filtering, Fourier transforms and weighted-variance methods across environmental, biomedical and industrial cases, aiming to improve interpretability, robustness and generalization.

Viridian corrected pandemic-wide waves of systematic error across 4.47 million SARS-CoV-2 genomes

Most SARS-CoV-2 genomes were produced with tiled amplicons. Software unaware of primer schemes and error modes, together with outdated primers as variants evolved, generated systematic errors and false phylogenetic structure in waves. Viridian was developed for rigorous amplicon-aware reconstruction and applied to all public data through June 2024, producing high-quality consensus sequences and a global tree of 4,471,579 samples, supported by simulation and empirical validation and openly viewable online.

Critical review evidence13 Jul 2026

Thermoplastic composites improve recyclability, while long-term durability remains a bottleneck

Thermoplastic composites can be remelted and reshaped, offering better recycling and repair potential than thermosets. This review compares matrices, reinforcements and compression molding, thermoforming, automated tape placement and in-situ consolidation. Processing heat and pressure govern voids, crystallinity, interfaces and mechanical performance. Despite circular-economy potential, viscoelastic damage, fatigue, moisture, hygrothermal exposure and residual stress make service-life prediction difficult.

Smart Tourism and AI73IMPACT SIGNAL

Associational modeling evidence13 Jul 2026

Perceived generative-AI transparency is linked to more responsible travel engagement

The study tested a cognitive-affective-behavioral sequence in AI-enabled smart urban destinations. Perceived AI transparency strongly related to digital reflexivity, which connected to place reinterpretation and AI-enabled co-creation. Co-creation related more strongly to ethical travel citizenship than reinterpretation, while ethical citizenship predicted post-travel AI engagement. Necessary Condition Analysis treated each construct as a prerequisite at some level, but these are modeled associations rather than experimental behavior change.

Aging and Data Systems73IMPACT SIGNAL

Systematic landscape evidence13 Jul 2026

Asia is aging rapidly, but longitudinal data remain concentrated and poorly harmonized

The team mapped community-based longitudinal aging studies in East and Southeast Asia. Eligible cohorts followed community-dwelling adults with mean baseline age at least 50, were nationally representative or covered two geographic areas, focused on health and had English documentation. Thirty studies across ten countries or territories were found, concentrated in Japan, mainland China, Singapore and South Korea. Newer studies include biomarkers and performance measures, but physical frailty is rarely assessed, access is inconsistent and no multinational study met criteria.

Laboratory bifunctional-material evidence13 Jul 2026

MgZnFe-LDH removed arsenic and dye together, then repurposed the spent adsorbent for urea oxidation

TM-LDH/TZ was synthesized by co-precipitation and triazole grafting to remove As(V) and Congo red simultaneously at pH 5 and 25°C. Maximum Langmuir capacities were 204.75 mg/g for As(V) and 499.72 mg/g for dye. Kinetic models supported chemisorption and AMM analysis indicated spontaneous adsorption under tested conditions. The pollutant-loaded material then produced a UOR peak current density of 184.67 mA/cm², nearly twice the fresh material, with 1.19-ohm resistance and over 85% removal after three regeneration cycles.

Lancet Haematology Commission proposes ten actions for equitable blood-disorder care for women, with a Thai haematologist among the authors

The Lancet Haematology Commission on global female health and haematology draws on evidence from clinical care, research, public health, and policy to identify gaps that delay diagnosis or lead to inconsistent care for women and girls across menstruation, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and later life. Its ten proposed actions include faster diagnosis, screening for heavy menstrual bleeding and iron deficiency, stronger postpartum haemorrhage and thrombosis care, and equitable representation of women in research and clinical guidance.

Tb3+/Eu3+ phosphate glass approached commercial BGO spatial resolution for X-ray imaging

Phosphate glasses with fixed Tb2O3 and varying Eu2O3 were produced by melt quenching. XRD confirmed amorphous structure and FTIR identified bridging and non-bridging oxygen. Green Tb3+ and red Eu3+ emissions, together with lifetime behavior, supported Tb3+ to Eu3+ energy transfer. Orange-red chromaticity and 2,000-3,000 K correlated color temperature were observed. In scintillation testing, spatial resolution reached 11.6 LP/mm, close to 13.2 LP/mm for commercial BGO, suggesting potential in light emission and X-ray conversion.

Phase 3 survival evidence12 Jul 2026

Amivantamab-lazertinib improved survival in EGFR-mutated NSCLC but increased severe toxicity

MARIPOSA enrolled patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC carrying EGFR exon 19 deletion or L858R. The amivantamab-lazertinib and osimertinib groups each included 429 participants. At 37.8 months median follow-up, the combination reduced the hazard of death to 0.75 and raised three-year survival from 51% to 60%. Grade 3 or worse adverse events occurred in 80% versus 52%, particularly skin toxicity, venous thromboembolism and infusion reactions, making this both a survival advance and a higher-burden treatment.
