The atomic simulation environment-a Python library for working with atoms.

The atomic simulation environment (ASE) is a software package written in the Python programming language with the aim of setting up, steering, and analyzing atomistic simulations. In ASE, tasks are fully scripted in Python. The powerful syntax of Python combined with the NumPy array library make it possible to perform very complex simulation tasks.

Reproducibility in density functional theory calculations of solids.

The widespread popularity of density functional theory has given rise to an extensive range of dedicated codes for predicting molecular and crystalline properties. However, each code implements the formalism in a different way, raising questions about the reproducibility of such predictions. We report the results of a community-wide effort that compared 15 solid-state codes, using 40 different potentials or basis set types, to assess the quality of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof equations of state for 71 elemental crystals.

Analysis of protein-protein interaction between late cornified envelope proteins and corneodesmosin.

Deletion of two members of the late cornified envelope (LCE) family, LCE3B and LCE3C (LCE3C_LCE3B-del), has been identified as risk factor for psoriasis with a possible role in skin barrier function. Moreover, genetic interaction between LCE3C_LCE3B-del and HLA-C*06, located in the psoriasis susceptibility regions 4 and 1 (PSORS4 and 1), has been reported in several populations. Because of high linkage disequilibrium between the PSORS1 genes HLA-C*06 and corneodesmosin (CDSN), both genes are potentially involved in psoriasis.

The prevalence of onychomycosis in psoriatic patients: a systematic review.

We systematically reviewed all available literature concerning the prevalence of onychomycosis in patients with nail psoriasis and the distribution of pathogens causing onychomycosis in this specific group of patients. Databases searched were Pubmed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Controlled Clinical Trial Register. All studies reporting on the prevalence of onychomycosis in nail psoriasis were obtained, and quality assessment was determined by the STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology checklist.
