Prevalence of Pathogenic Transthyretin Gene Variants in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Introduction/aims: Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is a genetic condition caused by pathogenic variants in the transthyretin (TTR) gene resulting in multisystem amyloid deposition, especially in peripheral nerve and heart. Information on the prevalence of ATTRv in the United States is limited. The objective of this study was to understand the prevalence and genetic ancestry in the Val142Ile population in a large regional US population.

Rate adaptive compressed sampling based on region division for wireless sensor networks.

Image acquisition and transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSN) are core issues for some resource-deficient multimedia sensing applications. Reducing sampling rates and data transmission lowers sensor node costs and energy, addressing communication bottlenecks. Block compressed sampling (BCS) can meet the above requirements.

Multifunctional nanocomposites utilizing ruthenium (II) complex/manganese (IV) dioxide nanoparticle for synergistic reinforcing radioimmunotherapy.

Radiotherapy (RT) stands as a frontline treatment modality in clinical breast oncology, yet challenges like ROS reduction, high toxicity, non-selectivity, and hypoxia hinder efficacy. Additionally, RT administered at different doses can induce varying degrees of radioimmunotherapy. High doses of radiation (>10 Gy) may result in immune suppression, while moderate doses (4-10 Gy), although capable of mitigating the immune suppression caused by high-dose radiation, are often insufficient in effectively killing tumor cells.

Blind Recognition of Frame Synchronization Based on Deep Learning.

In this paper, a deep-learning-based frame synchronization blind recognition algorithm is proposed to improve the detection performance in non-cooperative communication systems. Current methods face challenges in accurately detecting frames under high bit error rates (BER). Our approach begins with flat-top interpolation of binary data and converting it into a series of grayscale images, enabling the application of image processing techniques.
