Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers utilized the MIMIC-IV dataset, employing Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for predicting sepsis risk and SHAP for model interpretation, achieving 84.1% accuracy and a ROC curve score of 0.92 during testing.
  • * The study suggests that machine learning models like XGBoost could effectively predict sepsis during early triage in emergency departments, potentially easing medical staff workload and enhancing early intervention.

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants requires initial interaction between the pollen grain and the stigmatic surface, where a molecular dialog is established between the interacting partners. Studies across a range of species have revealed that a series of molecular checkpoints regulate the pollen-stigma interaction to ensure that only compatible, generally intraspecific pollen is successful in effecting fertilization. In species that possess a 'dry stigma', such as the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the first post-pollination, prezygotic compatibility checkpoint is the establishment of pollen hydration.
