DMSTG-AD: an SDN intrusion detection method based on dynamic multi-scale spatio-temporal graph neural network
Abstract Software-defined networking (SDN) centralizes control, simplifying network management and configuration while simultaneously increasing vulnerability to attacks, such as large-scale Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks or network topology spoofing. Conventional intrusion detection methods that rely on feature engineering or static graph modeling often fail to capture the complex topological dependencies and dynamic temporal patterns inherent in network traffic.
Association between dietary inflammatory index and cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic syndrome risk: a cross-sectional study - Nutrition Journal
An analysis of data from 24,071 participants in the 2001–2020 NHANES revealed a significant increase in the risk of developing CKMS among individuals with higher DII scores. The RCS curve indicated a nonlinear positive association between the DII and the risk of developing CKMS. We also examined the potential sex-specific effects of the DII on the risk of developing CKMS. In women, the relationship was nonlinear, with a sharper increase in the risk of developing CKMS when the DII exceeded 2.

Is It Possible to Prevent Hair Loss?
Will I lose my hair?” is one of the first questions people ask when they hear they will receive chemotherapy. Understandably so; hair loss (also called alopecia) and the emotions surrounding it is one of the most prevalent concerns people report when receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Many people view the loss of their hair as a public announcement of their health status; an announcement that prevents them from telling others about the cancer and its treatment in their own time.

When You Don't Feel Like Eating
Treatments for cancer, and sometimes even the cancer itself, can cause poor appetite, difficulty eating, or challenges with digesting food. Staying adequately nourished can be a challenge when dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Inadequate nutrition can cause weight loss, muscle loss, muscle weakness, low energy, fatigue, and delayed healing. I know there are times when you just don’t want to eat. You’re nauseated, and food just doesn’t sound good.
Supplement Savvy? The Role of Supplements in Your Cancer Journey
A cancer diagnosis usually prompts people to look for ways to improve their health, minimize treatment side effects, and decrease their risk of recurrence. In this situation, you might find friends, family members, and strangers trying to be helpful by flooding you with information about “miracle cures” and “natural” therapies. You may even find ads popping up in your social media feeds. Many of these so-called cures or therapies are sold as supplements; some may seem tempting.
Soy and Cancer Risk
I’ve been asked often about the connection between soy and cancer risk. And with good reason; there is conflicting information regarding soy-based foods and cancer diagnoses that leaves many people feeling confused. Some people may have been told when diagnosed with cancer that they should avoid soy; others are told they can eat whatever they want. So, what does the latest science say about soy?

Mismatch in Urban Construction Land Use and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from China
1. Introduction A scarce resource, land is essential to facilitate sustainable urban development. Urban areas host more than half the total world population and are centers of economic activities [1].
