Inferring energy-composition relationships with Bayesian optimization enhances exploration of inorganic materials.

Computational exploration of the compositional spaces of materials can provide guidance for synthetic research and thus accelerate the discovery of novel materials. Most approaches employ high-throughput sampling and focus on reducing the time for energy evaluation for individual compositions, often at the cost of accuracy. Here, we present an alternative approach focusing on effective sampling of the compositional space.

Why Otolaryngologists Should Be Interested in Psychedelic Medicine.

As psychedelic medicine is becoming mainstream, physicians need to know something about these medications, their indications, contraindications, and potential for research. This article is a brief overview of the subject with some ideas of how psychedelic medicines can impact the practice of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

Observation of a Near-Threshold Proton Resonance in ^{11}B.

A near-threshold proton resonance in ^{11}B at E_{ex}=11.44±0.04  MeV is observed via the reaction ^{10}Be(d,n)^{11}Be→^{10}Be+p in inverse kinematics, measured with a beam of the radioactive isotope ^{10}Be.

Oxidative Stress and Low Glutathione in Common Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions: A Systematic Review.

Context • Oxidative stress and tissue-damaging, oxygen (O2)-related, free-radical formation is inherent in human metabolism, and the tissues of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) have an increased exposure to injury from those substances. Because glutathione (GSH) is a major component in an antioxidant defense against oxidative damage in ENT tissues, a review of the impact of lowered GSH and oxidative stress in conditions associated with the upper respiratory tract is warranted. Objective • The review intended to summarize the role that oxidative stress and GSH play.

Integrative medical approaches to allergic rhinitis.

Purpose Of Review: Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM), formerly known as alternative medicine, is now part of the mainstream management for patients with a host of medical issues. This current opinion focuses on the use of CIM, more specifically, the use of nutritional and herbal therapies and homeopathic medications for patients with allergic symptoms.

Recent Findings: The literature review revealed that naturally occurring substances when compared with placebo more often than not resulted in significant improvement of the allergic rhinitis symptoms.
