Cognitive dysfunction and disturbed daily activities of people with dementia impact the psychological stress in family caregivers depending on their anxiety and depression severity.

Care for individuals with dementia, predominantly provided by family members, was associated with significant physical and emotional stress. Existing guidelines for supporting caregivers were frequently based on limited evidence. A cross-sectional clinical study involving 104 pairs of caregivers and individuals with dementia was conducted.

Build-a-Bio-Strip: An Online Platform for Rapid Toxicity Assessment in Chemical Synthesis.

The increasing need to understand and control the environmental impact of chemical processes has revealed the challenge in efficient evaluation of toxicity of the vast number of chemical compounds and their varying effects on biological systems. In this study, we introduce "Build-a-bio-Strip", a novel online service designed to carry out a quick initial analysis of the toxic impact of chemical processes. This platform enables users to automatically generate toxicity characteristics of chemical reactions using their own data on cytotoxicity or median lethal doses of the substances involved or computational predictions based on SMILES strings.

Recognition of Molecular Structure of Phosphonium Salts from the Visual Appearance of Material with Deep Learning Can Reveal Subtle Homologs.

Determining molecular structures is foundational in chemistry and biology. The notion of discerning molecular structures simply from the visual appearance of a material remained almost unthinkable until the advent of machine learning. This paper introduces a pioneering approach bridging the visual appearance of materials (both at the micro- and nanostructural levels) with traditional chemical structure analysis methods.

Determining the orderliness of carbon materials with nanoparticle imaging and explainable machine learning.

Carbon materials have paramount importance in various fields of materials science, from electronic devices to industrial catalysts. The properties of these materials are strongly related to the distribution of defects-irregularities in electron density on their surfaces. Different materials have various distributions and quantities of these defects, which can be imaged using a procedure that involves depositing palladium nanoparticles.
