Elf autoencoder for unsupervised exploration of flat-band materials using electronic band structure fingerprints.

Two-dimensional materials with flat electronic bands are promising for realising exotic quantum phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity and nontrivial topology. However, exploring their vast chemical space is a significant challenge. Here we introduce elf, an unsupervised convolutional autoencoder that encodes electronic band structure images into fingerprint vectors, enabling the autonomous clustering of materials by electronic properties beyond traditional chemical paradigms.

The role of ferroptosis in colorectal cancer and its potential synergy with immunotherapy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent and deadly malignancies worldwide. Recently, ferroptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death characterized by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation, has garnered significant attention from researchers. The mechanisms underlying ferroptosis, including intracellular iron levels, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant system regulation, offer new insights into cancer treatment strategies.

Cross-cultural validation and reference norms for the DCDDaily-Q questionnaire Chinese version (DCDDaily-Q-CN): evaluating children's motor performance in activities of daily living.

Background: The DCDDaily-questionnaire (DCDDaliy-Q) evaluates children's performance and participation in motor-based activities of daily living (ADLs), meeting diagnostic criterion B for developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Currently, there are no Chinese translations or growth references available. Thus, this study aimed to culturally adapt, validate, and establish reference norms for the DCDDaily-Q in Chinese children.

Social-structural barriers to primary care among sex workers: findings from a community-based cohort in Vancouver, Canada (2014-2021).

Background: Due to social-structural marginalization, sex workers experience health inequities including a high prevalence of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections, mental health disorders, trauma, and substance use, alongside a multitude of barriers to HIV and substance use services. Given limited evidence on sex workers' broader primary healthcare access, we aimed to examine social-structural factors associated with primary care use among sex workers over 7 years.

Methods: Data were derived from An Evaluation of Sex Workers Health Access (AESHA), a community-based open prospective cohort of women (cis and trans) sex workers in Metro Vancouver, from 2014 to 2021.

An interventional study on the application of heart-collateral-based enlightenment words intervention in anxiety and depression of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: To study the effect of heart-collateral-based enlightenment words intervention on anxiety and depression in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: In this class experimental study, one hundred patients who were hospitalized after PCI from May 2020 to October 2021, were included in this interventional study. They were divided into the test group (n = 50) and the control group (n = 50) based on the random number table.
