Efficient computation of optimal transport distance between distributions is of growing importance in data science. Sinkhorn-based methods are currently the state-of-the-art for such computations, but require computations. In addition, Sinkhorn-based methods commonly use an Euclidean ground distance between datapoints.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between the monetary cost of food and diet quality in Spanish older adults at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was carried out in Spanish older adults ( = 6,838; 48.
Organoids are biomimetic tissue models comprising multiple cell types and cell states. Post-translational modification (PTM) signaling networks control cellular phenotypes and are frequently dysregulated in diseases such as cancer. Although signaling networks vary across cell types, there are limited techniques to study cell type-specific PTMs in heterocellular organoids.

Another common finding is presarcopenia/sarcopenia, possibly due to insulin resistance and oxidative stress. It remains to be clarified whether these changes depend on either early (prediabetes) or late (established DM) glucidic alterations, or rather they would be linked predominantly by excess fat mass in obese patients Objectives: to evaluate and compare body composition parameters (bone, muscle and adipose-visceral tissues) in overweight/obese patients grouped by whether or not they present glucidic metabolism disorders.
