Unraveling the hormonal approaches for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and its complementary interventions.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that causes redness, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. It is a long-lasting disease that can have a widespread impact on the body, often affecting the hands, feet, and wrists. The immune cells, such as dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, play a significant role in bone degradation and inflammation.

Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Large language models can segment narrative events similarly to humans.

Humans perceive discrete events such as "restaurant visits" and "train rides" in their continuous experience. One important prerequisite for studying human event perception is the ability of researchers to quantify when one event ends and another begins. Typically, this information is derived by aggregating behavioral annotations from several observers.

Basic Science and Pathogenesis.

Background: The immunoproteasome (IP) is the inducible form of the constitutive 20S proteasome upregulated in immune cells. The IP consists of 3 inducible β subunits (β1i - LMP2, β2i - MECL1, and β5i - LMP7), which generate MHC-I compatible peptides. IPs are induced by pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling, as well as oxidative stress signaling.

Genetic Landscape of Dystonia in Asian Indians.

Background: Genomic variations associated with dystonia in Asian Indians remain largely unknown.

Objectives: To identify genomic alterations associated with dystonia in the Asian Indian population using next generation sequencing approaches.

Methods: From September 2018 to December 2023, we enrolled 745 individuals including probands with dystonia and family members, in the Indian Movement Disorder Registry and Biobank.
