Modeling of warm dense hydrogen via explicit real-time electron dynamics: Dynamic structure factors.

We present two methods for computing the dynamic structure factor for warm dense hydrogen without invoking either the Born-Oppenheimer approximation or the Chihara decomposition, by employing a wave-packet description that resolves the electron dynamics during ion evolution. First, a semiclassical method is discussed, which is corrected based on known quantum constraints, and second, a direct computation of the density response function within the molecular dynamics. The wave-packet models are compared to PIMC and DFT-MD for the static and low-frequency behavior.

Prolonged Venous Transit on Perfusion Imaging is Associated with Longer Lengths of Stay in Acute Large Vessel Occlusions.

Background And Purpose: Prolonged venous transit (PVT+) is a marker of venous outflow; it is defined as the presence or absence of time-to-maximum ≥10 seconds timing in either the superior sagittal sinus or torcula. This novel perfusion imaging-based metric has been associated with higher odds of mortality and lower odds of functional recovery. This study aims to assess the relationship between PVT on admission perfusion imaging and length of hospital stay in large vessel occlusion strokes successfully reperfused with mechanical thrombectomy.

Customizable hydrospongel based on chitosan microfibers.

Customizable and viscoelastic porous biomaterials are highly desired as implant scaffold for repairing large-volume defects. Herein, we report customizable chitosan microfibers (CMFs)-based hydrospongels with mechanical properties comparable to soft tissues. The CMFs formed under high-speed shearing during crystallization of chitosan, and then they are crosslinked through covalent bond and hydrogen bond to form hydrospongels.

Establishing the measurement and psychometrics of medical student feedback literacy (IMPROVE-FL): A research protocol.

Current feedback models advocate learner autonomy in seeking, processing, and responding to feedback so that medical students can become feedback-literate. Feedback literacy improves learners' motivation, engagement, and satisfaction, which in turn enhance their competencies. However, there is a lack of an objective method of measuring medical student feedback literacy in the empirical literature.

Impact of Punica granatum seeds extract (PSE) on renal and testicular tissues toxicity in mice exposed to iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs).

Recently, nano-manufactured materials have been used to treat many diseases, such as healing wounds and other modern biological applications. This study investigates the positive effect of Punica granatum seeds extract on kidney and testicular toxicities induced by iron oxide nanoparticles. Forty mice were randomly divided into four groups; the 1st group was the control group.

Role of Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio in Vessel Occlusions: A Review on Safety and Clinical Outcomes.

The hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) is a quantitative metric used in vascular occlusion imaging to evaluate the extent of brain tissue at risk due to hypoperfusion. Defined as the ratio of tissue volume with a time-to-maximum (Tmax) of >10 seconds to that of >6 seconds, HIR assists in differentiating between the salvageable penumbra and the irreversibly injured core infarct. This review explores the role of HIR in assessing clinical outcomes and guiding treatment strategies, including mechanical thrombectomy and thrombolytic therapy, for patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs).

Cancer stem cells: Masters of all traits.

Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, which contributes to its rapid progression and therapeutic failure. Besides interpatient tumor heterogeneity, tumors within a single patient can present with a heterogeneous mix of genetically and phenotypically distinct subclones. These unique subclones can significantly impact the traits of cancer.

Development of a selective COX-2 inhibitor: from synthesis to enhanced efficacy nano-formulation.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs are widely used for managing various conditions including pain, inflammation, arthritis and many musculoskeletal disorders. NSAIDs exert their biological effects by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme, which has two main isoforms COX-1 and COX-2. The COX-2 isoform is believed to be directly related to inflammation.

Performance of An Automated Algorithm in Large and Medium Vessel Occlusion Detection: A Real-World Experience.

Background And Purpose: Fast, accurate detection of large (LVO) and medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) is critical for triage and management of acute ischemic stroke. Multiple AIbased software products are commercially available. However, their strengths and limitations for detection of vessel occlusion in the context of expanding indications for mechanical thrombectomy are not entirely understood.

Malaysian Medical Students' Career Intention (MMSCI): a cross-sectional study.

Background: In recent years, there have been many instances of negative sentiments expressed by and resignations observed from doctors working in the Ministry of Health (MOH), Malaysia. However, little is known about the perspectives of medical students and their career intentions. This study aims to determine the current Malaysian medical students' career intentions immediately after graduation and upon completing the 2 years of housemanship and to establish the factors influencing these intentions.

Perfusion Abnormalities on 24-Hour Perfusion Imaging in Patients With Complete Endovascular Reperfusion.

Background: Perfusion abnormalities in the infarct and salvaged penumbra have been proposed as a potential reason for poor clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale score >2) despite complete angiographic reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI3]). In this study, we aimed to identify different microvascular perfusion patterns and their association with clinical outcomes among TICI3 patients.

Methods: University Hospital Bern's stroke registry of all patients between February 2015 and December 2021.

The regulatory effects of water probiotic supplementation on the blood physiology, reproductive performance, and its related genes in Red Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus X O. mossambicus).

Probiotics are becoming increasingly popular as eco-friendly alternatives in aquaculture. However, there is limited research on their impacts on the reproductive efficiency of Red Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus x O. mossambicus) broodstock.

Projections of Endovascular Therapy-Eligible Patients With Stroke for the US Population.

Background: As stroke endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) treatment indications expand, understanding population-based EVT eligibility becomes critical for resource planning. We aimed to project current and future population-based EVT eligibility in the United States.

Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of the physician-adjudicated GCNKSS (Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study; 2015 epoch), a population-based, cross sectional, observational study of stroke incidence, treatment, and outcomes across a 5-county region.

Synthesis, Docking, and DFT Studies on Novel Schiff Base Sulfonamide Analogues as Selective COX-1 Inhibitors with Anti-Platelet Aggregation Activity.

Selective COX-1 inhibitors are preferential therapeutic targets for platelet aggregation and clotting responses. In this study, we examined the selective COX-1-inhibitory activities of four newly synthesized compounds, -, along with their abilities to inhibit platelet aggregation against ADP and collagen. The target compounds - were synthesized using the conventional method, sonication, and microwave-assisted methods.
