Background: Social media platforms have become home to numerous alternative health groups where people share health information and scientifically unproven treatments. Individuals share not only health information but also health misinformation in alternative health groups on social media. Yet, little research has been carried out to understand members of these groups.

Article Synopsis
  • High-resolution metrology is essential for nanoscale manufacturing, impacting both production speed and quality.
  • Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a key tool in this field, but it generates massive datasets that require effective data processing techniques.
  • The study introduces a new algorithm based on spline fitting that efficiently simplifies large AFM datasets by reducing parameters significantly while maintaining accuracy, even in the presence of noise and sharp features.

Objective: Evidence for necrotising otitis externa (NOE) diagnosis and management is limited, and outcome reporting is heterogeneous. International best practice guidelines were used to develop consensus diagnostic criteria and a core outcome set (COS).

Methods: The study was pre-registered on the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database.

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are trimeric proton-gated sodium channels. Recent work has shown that these channels play a role in necroptosis following prolonged acidic exposure like occurs in stroke. The C-terminus of ASIC1a is thought to mediate necroptotic cell death through interaction with receptor interacting serine threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1).
