Motor Competence in Autistic Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Background/objectives: Children with autism exhibit deficits in fundamental motor skills, which are intensified when associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Objective: To correlate motor competence in children with autism, autism levels according to the CARS scale, and the association with ADHD.

Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed motor competence using the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA), the severity of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), and the presence of clinical signs for ADHD using Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham (SNAP-IV) questionnaire.

Pregnancy and Nursing Management for Embryo-Transferred and Genetically Modified Rabbits.

With the advancement of scientific research, the demand for gene-edited rabbit models is increasing. However, there are limited pregnancy and feeding management systems for gene-edited rabbits, leading to low survival rates among gene-edited rabbits prepared by many inexperienced researchers. Therefore, proper guidance is essential.

Assessment of extracellular polymeric substances production and antioxidant defences in periphytic communities exposed to effluent contaminants.

Periphyton is frequently used in the evaluation of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems using diatoms as a proxy. However, periphyton has a particularity, the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which might play a protective role against exposure to harmful environmental contaminants. Effluents originating in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) constitute some of the most complex mixtures of contaminants, to which aquatic ecosystems are frequently exposed, often containing tens to hundreds of different chemicals.

QuIP: 2-Bit Quantization of Large Language Models With Guarantees.

This work studies post-training parameter quantization in large language models (LLMs). We introduce quantization with incoherence processing (QuIP), a new method based on the insight that quantization benefits from weight and Hessian matrices, i.e.

A Rare Lung Malignancy in a Case of Systemic Sclerosis.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is one of the chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by the infiltration of excess collagen in various organs, especially the skin. It is found to be associated with a higher prevalence of internal malignancies, particularly lung carcinoma. Herein, we report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma confining within the lung in a patient who had long-standing SSc.
