Persisting symptoms after concussion (PSaC) affect up to 30% of children, adolescents, and young adults beyond 1 month post-injury, posing challenges in clinical care. This retrospective study examined 54 patients referred for neuropsychological evaluation due to PSaC, exploring factors contributing to symptom persistence. Results showed that 75.

The field of data-driven chemistry is undergoing an evolution, driven by innovations in machine learning models for predicting molecular properties and behavior. Recent strides in ML-based interatomic potentials have paved the way for accurate modeling of diverse chemical and structural properties at the atomic level. The key determinant defining MLIP reliability remains the quality of the training data.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel yeast species was discovered in rotting wood samples from Brazil's Atlantic and Amazon Rainforests, distinguished from closely related species by specific nucleotide differences.
  • Phylogenomic analysis confirmed its uniqueness, revealing a low nucleotide identity with other similar species, leading to the proposal of the name 'sp. nov.' for the new yeast.
  • The yeast displays characteristics that may indicate it can be an opportunistic pathogen, as it grows at body temperature and shares genetic material with an uncultured strain found in a crocodile with a systemic infection.

Four yeast isolates were obtained from rotting wood and galleries of passalid beetles collected in different sites of the Brazilian Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil. This yeast produces unconjugated allantoid asci each with a single elongated ascospore with curved ends. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer-5.

Atomistic simulation has a broad range of applications from drug design to materials discovery. Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) have become an efficient alternative to computationally expensive ab initio simulations. For this reason, chemistry and materials science would greatly benefit from a general reactive MLIP, that is, an MLIP that is applicable to a broad range of reactive chemistry without the need for refitting.
