Predicting Future Development of Stress-Induced Anhedonia From Cortical Dynamics and Facial Expression.

The current state of mental health treatment for individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder leaves billions of individuals with first-line therapies that are ineffective or burdened with undesirable side effects. One major obstacle is that distinct pathologies may currently be diagnosed as the same disease and prescribed the same treatments. The key to developing antidepressants with ubiquitous efficacy is to first identify a strategy to differentiate between heterogeneous conditions.

Fast and efficient hard X-ray projection imaging below 10 nm resolution.

High-resolution X-ray imaging of noncrystalline objects is often achieved through the approach of scanning coherent diffractive imaging known as ptychography. The imaging resolution is usually limited by the scattering properties of the sample, where weak diffraction signals at the highest scattering angles compete with parasitic scattering. Here, we demonstrate that X-ray multilayer Laue lenses with a high numerical aperture (NA) can be used to create a strong reference beam that holographically boosts weak scattering from the sample over a large range of scattering angles, enabling high-resolution imaging that is tolerant of such background.

Current Goals of NSAID-ERD Management: Patient-Centered Approaches Involving NSAID Desensitization With and Without Biologics.

The classic approach of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD) includes pharmaceutical and surgical treatments, as well as avoidance of cyclooxygenase 1-inhibitor NSAIDs. The introduction of biologics in the treatment of severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps represents an alternative therapeutic approach to the classical aspirin therapy after desensitization (ATAD) in some regions, and with convincing results. However, their use is limited due to approval and/or high-cost restrictions.

Cylindrical compression of thin wires by irradiation with a Joule-class short-pulse laser.

Equation of state measurements at Jovian or stellar conditions are currently conducted by dynamic shock compression driven by multi-kilojoule multi-beam nanosecond-duration lasers. These experiments require precise design of the target and specific tailoring of the spatial and temporal laser profiles to reach the highest pressures. At the same time, the studies are limited by the low repetition rate of the lasers.
