Liquid water still remains an ubiquitous liquid whose molecular organization requires careful investigation. In this work, we present a study of the second harmonic scattering (SHS) intensity for two different scattering angles, namely, the forward and the right angle geometries. This method performed at optical wavelengths is indeed selective toward long correlation lengths.

Methods: We designed a retrospective study using the CureGN database to compare individuals with adolescent-onset glomerular disease relative to individuals with older and younger age at onset.
This study investigates the emergence of prepositions in Hebrew-speaking children aged 2;6-6;0 years, analyzing a peer talk corpus of 75 children across five age groups. Across 45-minute triadic conversations, we examined the distributions, semantic functions, and form-function relations of prepositions. Two results sections are presented.

Preparation and Rationale for a Fluid Overload in Nephrotic Syndrome Clinical Outcomes Assessment Set for Drug Development (Prepare-NS, 5UG3FD007308) was funded by the US Food and Drug Administration to develop a core set of patient-reported and observer-reported (for young children) outcome measures of fluid overload for use in pharmaceutical trials across the lifespan.
Methods: The Prepare-NS study team developed the proposed context of use with input from stakeholders.
18F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a useful paraclinical exam for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this narrative review, we report seminal studies in clinically probable AD that have shown the importance of posterior brain metabolic decrease and the paradoxical variability of the hippocampal metabolism. The FDG-PET pattern was a sensitive indicator of AD in pathologically confirmed cases and it was used for differential diagnosis of dementia conditions.
