Intel's efforts to build a practical quantum computer are focused on developing a scalable spin-qubit platform leveraging industrial high-volume semiconductor manufacturing expertise and 300 mm fabrication infrastructure. Here, we provide an overview of the design, fabrication, and demonstration of a new customized quantum test chip, which contains 12-quantum-dot spin-qubit linear arrays, code named Tunnel Falls. These devices are fabricated using immersion and extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV), along with other standard high-volume manufacturing (HVM) processes as well as production-level process control.

- The study examines the link between liver disease type (alcohol-related vs non-alcohol-related) and 6-week mortality following acute variceal bleeding (AVB) in patients with cirrhosis.
- Researchers analyzed data from two large cohorts in the U.S. and Singapore, including 1,349 patients, and found that non-ALD patients had a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to ALD patients.
- Incorporating the etiology of cirrhosis into existing mortality prediction models improved accuracy, highlighting the importance of considering the type of liver disease for patient care.
Article Synopsis
- Hemipelvectomy is a complex surgery typically aimed at curing cancer, but its use for palliative care in advanced cancer cases is quite rare and not well understood.
- A retrospective study reviewed outcomes for 10 patients with stage IV cancer who underwent this palliative procedure, revealing significant complications and limited survival benefits.
- While some patients experienced reduced pain, none showed functional improvement post-surgery, indicating that more conservative treatment options should be considered, especially for patients with less severe pelvic tumors.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of early primary stent placement (within 30 days of liver transplantation) for hepatic artery stenosis (HAS).
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent liver transplantation between February 2001 and February 2024 were evaluated for HAS. Patients who underwent primary stent placement were selected and stratified based on the time from anastomosis to intervention.
Article Synopsis
- High levels of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in breast cancer are linked to worse outcomes for patients, with lipid buildup in these cells driving tumor growth and spread.
- Recent research reveals that unsaturated fatty acids (like linoleic acid) are more effective than saturated fats at creating lipid droplets in macrophages, using the FABP4/CEBPα pathway to promote this process.
- FABP4 not only aids in lipid metabolism in TAMs but also enhances fat breakdown and utilization in breast cancer cells, fostering cell migration and metastasis, highlighting its critical role in cancer progression.
