Introduction: Top-down mechanisms that regulate attentional control are influenced by task demands and individuals' goals, while bottom-up processes are influenced by salient stimuli. Analogous networks are involved in both processes (e.g.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a rare event in children and does not usually trigger investigation for malignancy. We report the case of a previously healthy female teenager presenting with unilateral leg swelling. Colour-Doppler ultrasound confirmed deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and the thrombophilia workup was negative.

We analyze the structures of the low-spin (LS) ground state and the high-spin (HS) lowest excited state of the iron-(II)-tris bipyridine complex ([Fe(bpy)]) using density functional theory PBE methods, modeling the solvent interactions with conductor-like polarizable continuum model. These calculations are globally benchmarked against a wide range of experimental observables that include ultraviolet-visible linear absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra and Fe K-edge x-ray absorption near edge spectra (XANES). The calculations confirm the already established D geometry of the LS state, as well as a departure from this geometry for the HS state, with the appearance of inequivalent Fe-N bond elongations.

Article Synopsis
  • A case study of a 52-year-old man showed he developed right ocular myositis and dacryocystitis, treated successfully with intravenous acyclovir and oral steroids; literature review of 29 patients shows a median age of 61 and a female predominance.
  • Effective treatment typically involves intravenous antiviral therapy within 72 hours and may include systemic corticosteroids, with a full resolution of symptoms achieved in about 51.7% of patients.

HO transforms to two forms of superionic (SI) ice at high pressures and temperatures, which contain highly mobile protons within a solid oxygen sublattice. Yet the stability field of both phases remains debated. Here, we present the results of an ultrafast X-ray heating study utilizing MHz pulse trains produced by the European X-ray Free Electron Laser to create high temperature states of HO, which were probed using X-ray diffraction during dynamic cooling.
