Article Synopsis
- Magnesium imbalances are common in septic patients, but the link between serum magnesium levels and mortality is still unclear.
- This study analyzed data from over 10,000 patients in the U.S. and China to explore the relationship between magnesium levels and 28-day mortality rates in septic patients.
- Results showed that higher serum magnesium levels correlated with an increased risk of mortality, suggesting that monitoring magnesium levels could help identify septic patients at greater risk of death.
Homochirality is an important feature in biological systems and occurs even in inorganic nanoparticles. However, the mechanism of chirality formation and the key steps during growth are not fully understood. Here we identify two distinguishable pathways from achiral to chiral morphologies in gold nanoparticles by training an artificial neural network of cellular automata according to experimental results.

However, the reported relationship of COPD with dyslipidemia, an important component of metabolic syndrome, is ambiguous. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the association between COPD and the serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG).
