AI for Analyzing Mental Health Disorders Among Social Media Users: Quarter-Century Narrative Review of Progress and Challenges.

Background: Mental health disorders are currently the main contributor to poor quality of life and years lived with disability. Symptoms common to many mental health disorders lead to impairments or changes in the use of language, which are observable in the routine use of social media. Detection of these linguistic cues has been explored throughout the last quarter century, but interest and methodological development have burgeoned following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two codependent routes lead to high-level MRSA.

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA), in which acquisition of [which encodes the cell wall peptidoglycan biosynthesis component penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a)] confers resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, is of major clinical concern. We show that, in the presence of antibiotics, MRSA adopts an alternative mode of cell division and shows an altered peptidoglycan architecture at the division septum. PBP2a can replace the transpeptidase activity of the endogenous and essential PBP2 but not that of PBP1, which is responsible for the distinctive native septal peptidoglycan architecture.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Radiomics of Axial and Sagittal Orientation in Pregnant Patients with Suspected Placenta Accreta Spectrum.

Rationale And Objectives: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Current radiomic analysis of PAS magnetic resonance (MR) images is often performed on a single imaging plane. However, depending on the chosen imaging plane, radiomic features extracted from the same patient may vary due to the differing orientations and anatomical contexts, potentially leading to inconsistent results.

Cryo-tomography and 3D Electron Diffraction Reveal the Polar Habit and Chiral Structure of the Malaria Pigment Crystal Hemozoin.

Detoxification of heme in depends on its crystallization into hemozoin. This pathway is a major target of antimalarial drugs. The crystalline structure of hemozoin was established by X-ray powder diffraction using a synthetic analog, β-hematin.

Hierarchical segmentation of surgical scenes in laparoscopy.

Purpose: Segmentation of surgical scenes may provide valuable information for real-time guidance and post-operative analysis. However, in some surgical video frames there is unavoidable ambiguity, leading to incorrect predictions of class or missed detections. In this work, we propose a novel method that alleviates this problem by introducing a hierarchy and associated hierarchical inference scheme that allows broad anatomical structures to be predicted when fine-grained structures cannot be reliably distinguished.

Differences in neuroinflammation in people who started antiretroviral treatment during primary versus chronic HIV infection: an 18kDa Translocator protein (TSPO) positron emission tomography (PET) study.

Persistent inflammation is described in people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral treatment (ART). Early ART initiation is associated with reduced inflammation. We aimed to evaluate neuroinflammation, using translocator protein (TSPO) [C]PBR28 PET neuroimaging in PWH who initiated ART during acute HIV (aPWH) versus chronic HIV infection (cPWH) versus a control population.

Cargo selective vesicle tethering: The structural basis for binding of specific cargo proteins by the Golgi tether component TBC1D23.

The Golgi-localized golgins golgin-97 and golgin-245 capture transport vesicles arriving from endosomes via the protein TBC1D23. The amino-terminal domain of TBC1D23 binds to the golgins, and the carboxyl-terminal domain of TBC1D23 captures the vesicles, but how it recognizes specific vesicles was unclear. A search for binding partners of the carboxyl-terminal domain unexpectedly revealed direct binding to carboxypeptidase D and syntaxin-16, known cargo proteins of the captured vesicles.

Repurposing an endogenous degradation domain for antibody-mediated disposal of cell-surface proteins.

The exquisite specificity of antibodies can be harnessed to effect targeted degradation of membrane proteins. Here, we demonstrate targeted protein removal utilising a protein degradation domain derived from the endogenous human protein Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Recombinant antibodies genetically fused to this domain drive the degradation of membrane proteins that undergo constitutive internalisation and recycling, including the transferrin receptor and the human cytomegalovirus latency-associated protein US28.

Comparing the Pathology, Clinical, and Demographic Characteristics of Younger and Older-Onset Multiple Sclerosis.

Objective: Older people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a less active radiological and clinical presentation, but many still attain significant levels of disability; but what drives worsening disability in this group?

Methods: We used data from the UK MS Register to characterize demographics and clinical features of late-onset multiple sclerosis (LOMS; symptom onset at ≥50 years), compared with adult-onset MS (AOMS; onset 18-49 years). We performed a pathology study of a separate MS cohort with a later onset (n = 18, mean age of onset 54 years) versus AOMS (n = 23, mean age of onset 29 years).

Results: In the Register cohort, there were 1,608 (9.

Union and Complication Rates After Total Wrist Arthrodesis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) has been performed using various techniques. We aimed to provide pooled prevalence estimates of union and complications of TWA by technique. A secondary aim was to provide estimates of union and complication rates by treatment of the carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) in TWA using plates.

Experimental phasing opportunities for macromolecular crystallography at very long wavelengths.

Despite recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy and artificial intelligence-based model predictions, a significant fraction of structure determinations by macromolecular crystallography still requires experimental phasing, usually by means of single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) techniques. Most synchrotron beamlines provide highly brilliant beams of X-rays of between 0.7 and 2 Å wavelength.

Biomechanical Performance of Total Wrist Arthrodesis Plates With and Without Arthrodesis of the Carpometacarpal Joint.

Background: It is unknown whether total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) should be performed with or without arthrodesis of the carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ). The aim of this study is to compare CMCJ-spanning TWA plates using 3D printed wrist arthrodesis model with and without arthrodesis of the CMCJ.

Methods: Total wrist arthrodesis plates mounted to 3D printed models were tested under a 4-N bending load at 4 Hz for 50 000 cycles, increased by 15% every 10 000 cycles until failure.

Genome-wide identification of transcriptional enhancers during human placental development and association with function, differentiation, and disease†.

The placenta is a dynamic organ that must perform a remarkable variety of functions during its relatively short existence in order to support a developing fetus. These functions include nutrient delivery, gas exchange, waste removal, hormone production, and immune barrier protection. Proper placenta development and function are critical for healthy pregnancy outcomes, but the underlying genomic regulatory events that control this process remain largely unknown.

The human placenta project: Funded studies, imaging technologies, and future directions.

The placenta plays a critical role in fetal development. It serves as a multi-functional organ that protects and nurtures the fetus during pregnancy. However, despite its importance, the intricacies of placental structure and function in normal and diseased states have remained largely unexplored.

Translocator protein PET imaging in temporal lobe epilepsy: A reliable test-retest study using asymmetry index.

Objective: Translocator protein (TSPO) targeting positron emission tomography (PET) imaging radioligands have potential utility in epilepsy to assess the efficacy of novel therapeutics for targeting neuroinflammation. However, previous studies in healthy volunteers have indicated limited test-retest reliability of TSPO ligands. Here, we examine test-retest measures using TSPO PET imaging in subjects with epilepsy and healthy controls, to explore whether this biomarker can be used as an endpoint in clinical trials for epilepsy.

A standard data format for 3DED/MicroED.

Electron diffraction from three dimensional crystals, as a technique for solving molecular structures, is rapidly increasing in popularity. The development of methodology and software has borrowed, to great effect, from macromolecular X-ray crystallography. However, standardization lags behind the development of the technique, and practitioners are forced to work with inadequate data formats that are unable to capture a full description of their experiments.

Enabling Early Health Care Intervention by Detecting Depression in Users of Web-Based Forums using Language Models: Longitudinal Analysis and Evaluation.

Background: Major depressive disorder is a common mental disorder affecting 5% of adults worldwide. Early contact with health care services is critical for achieving accurate diagnosis and improving patient outcomes. Key symptoms of major depressive disorder (depression hereafter) such as cognitive distortions are observed in verbal communication, which can also manifest in the structure of written language.

Longitudinal assessment of placental perfusion in normal and hypertensive pregnancies using pseudo-continuous arterial spin-labeled MRI: preliminary experience.

Objectives: To evaluate longitudinal placental perfusion using pseudo-continuous arterial spin-labeled (pCASL) MRI in normal pregnancies and in pregnancies affected by chronic hypertension (cHTN), who are at the greatest risk for placental-mediated disease conditions.

Methods: Eighteen normal and 23 pregnant subjects with cHTN requiring antihypertensive therapy were scanned at 3 T using free-breathing pCASL-MRI at 16-20 and 24-28 weeks of gestational age.

Results: Mean placental perfusion was 103.
