Field implementations of fully underground sensor networks face many practical challenges that have limited their overall adoption. Power management is a commonly cited issue, as operators are required to either repeatedly excavate batteries for recharging or develop complex underground power infrastructures. Prior works have proposed wireless inductive power transfer (IPT) as a potential solution to these power management issues, but misalignment is a persistent issue in IPT systems, particularly in applications involving moving vehicles or obscured (e.

Article Synopsis
  • Fluorescent molecules are essential in biomedicine for visualizing biological processes with high sensitivity and specificity, but customizing them for live cell imaging is challenging due to complex structural and photophysical interactions.
  • This study used multivariate linear free-energy relationships (mLFER) to optimize a new platform of fluorescent dyes called BASHY, which are derived from boronic acid and salicylidenehydrazone.
  • The research resulted in a predictive model for a novel BASHY dye, which demonstrated effective stability in live cell experiments and was tested successfully in zebrafish larvae.

To establish the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, overweight/obesity, and metabolic syndrome in individuals aged >18 years in Bogotá, Colombia and the variables associated with diabetes prevalence. This was a cross‑sectional population survey with a representative, probabilistic sample of Bogotá, Colombia collected between 2022 and 2023. The final sample size included 2,860 households, distributed among 19 localities of Bogotá.

Article Synopsis
  • A patient with mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), an autoinflammatory disease, displayed two gene variants linked to the condition and suffered from recurrent periodic fevers and multiple organ symptoms, particularly a form of kidney disease called IgA nephropathy.
  • Despite various immunosuppressive treatments over seven years, the patient found effective relief only after starting canakinumab, a medication targeting inflammation.
  • Complications arose from a severe kidney event after an infection, raising questions about how MKD-related inflammation might interact with kidney disease, suggesting a possible connection between the patient's symptoms and underlying disease processes.
