Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the association of fruit, vegetable, and pulses consumption with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.

Study Design: This prospective study included 66,933 individuals from three Spanish health surveys linked to the national death registry up to December 2022.

Methods: Adjusted Poisson regression models were used to analyze the data, categorizing fruit, vegetable and pulses intake according to Spanish dietary recommendations and using splines to examine non-linear relationships.

Cyclic peptides are valued synthetic targets in organic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report an efficient strategy for the synthesis of unnatural cyclic peptides via the Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethylene ylides. Linear precursors of different lengths and bearing diverse amino acids (26 examples) are shown to be compatible with this method, affording good yields and complete -diastereoselectivities.

Introduction: Fulvestrant demonstrated benefits in overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with advanced breast cancer, who are hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative. The characteristics, evolution, and survival of patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer treated with fulvestrant were evaluated according to the national treatment coverage protocols of the National Resources Fund, with the aim of understanding the efficacy of fulvestrant in patients treated in usual clinical practice and comparing our results with those from pivotal studies.

Methods: A database from the National Resources Fund covering the period from 2009 to 2022 was used.

Article Synopsis
  • Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise in aiding medical decision support and have performed impressively in Medical Question Answering, even passing licensing exams.
  • However, they face significant challenges, including outdated knowledge, generating inaccurate information (referred to as hallucinations), and a lack of standardized evaluation criteria in medical contexts.
  • The paper introduces MedExpQA, a new multilingual benchmark that features reference explanations from medical professionals, aiming to improve LLM evaluation in Medical Question Answering across languages, highlighting that while English results are improving, non-English performance remains notably lower.

We investigated decays of ^{51,52,53}K at the ISOLDE Decay Station at CERN in order to understand the mechanism of the β-delayed neutron-emission (βn) process. The experiment quantified neutron and γ-ray emission paths for each precursor. We used this information to test the hypothesis, first formulated by Bohr in 1939, that neutrons in the βn process originate from the structureless "compound nucleus.
