The study of fish swimming behaviours and locomotion mechanisms holds significant scientific and engineering value. With the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, a new method combining deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged and been applied to simulate the autonomous behavior of higher organisms like fish. However, the scale of this cross-disciplinary method is directly affected by the efficiency of the DRL model.

We investigated whether phonological awareness mediated the relationship between speechreading and reading comprehension in Chinese adults with hearing impairment (HI) and normal hearing (NH). Speechreading, phonological awareness, and reading comprehension tests were administered to 154 young adults with HI and 97 young adults with NH in China. Results revealed significant correlations between speechreading, phonological awareness, and reading comprehension in adults with HI, but not those with NH.

Background: The emergence of drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) has made treatment challenging. Although fluoroquinolones (FQs) are used as key drugs in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the problem of FQs resistance is becoming increasingly serious. Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is considered a risk factor for FQs resistance.

Piezoelectric materials are increasingly used in portable smart electronics and Internet of Things sensors. Among them, piezoelectric macro fiber composites (MFCs) have attracted much attention due to their architectural simplicity, scalability, and high-power density. However, most MFCs currently use toxic lead-based piezoelectric materials, hindering their applications for bio-friendly intelligent electronics.

Background: With the development of lifestyle, elevated uric acid and hyperuricemia have become important factors affecting human health, but the biological mechanism and risk factors are still unclear.

Methods: A multi-stage, cross-sectional study of 41,136 adults from the NHANES 2003-2018 was conducted. Serum uric acid concentrations, platelet, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts were measured.

The photocatalytic oxidation of water with gaseous oxygen is environmentally benign for the synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), but it is currently constrained by the inadequate supply of gaseous oxygen at the catalyst surface in a solid-liquid-gas triple-phase reaction system. Herein, we address this challenge by employing the zeolite encapsulated catalysts that efficiently enrich gaseous oxygen and accelerate the H2O2 synthesis in in aqueous conditions. We focus on the classical titania photocatalyst, encapsulating it within siliceous MFI zeolite crystals.

BACKGROUND: The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is an independent unit for video electroencephalogram monitoring of epilepsy patients, with the aim of capturing typical seizure events. Because of the uncontrolled seizure frequency, there may be safety risks for patients, such as falling, trauma, aspiration, status epilepticus, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of comprehensive safety projects on safety management in a pediatric EMU.

The ability to speechread is often critical for persons with hearing impairment (HI), who may depend on speechreading to access the spoken language and interact with the hearing world. It is not clear, however, whether the primary mode of communication at home will influence speechreading abilities of young adults with HI even when they are enrolled in the same school with the same communication or instructional methods. Thirty-two hearing-impaired adolescents whose parents chose spoken language as the primary mode of communication of the family (the SPOKEN group) and thirty-two hearing-impaired adolescents with sign language as the primary mode of communication of the family (the SIGN group) were administered a Chinese speechreading battery consisting of tests at monosyllabic word, disyllabic word and sentence levels.

Introducing uniform magnetic order in two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators by constructing heterostructures of TI and magnet is a promising way to realize the high-temperature Quantum Anomalous Hall effect. However, the topological properties of 2D materials are susceptible to several factors that make them difficult to maintain, and whether topological interface states (TISs) can exist at magnetic-topological heterostructure interfaces is largely unknown. Here, it is experimentally shown that TISs in a lateral heterostructure of CrTe/Bi(110) are robust against disorder, defects, high magnetic fields (time-reversal symmetry-breaking perturbations), and elevated temperature (77 K).

Objective: We sought to describe the association between genomic instability score (GIS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with newly diagnosed, non-BRCA1/2 ovarian cancer.

Methods: Homologous recombinant deficiency (HRD) status was based on a cutoff of ≥42 GIS; patients <42 were categorized with homologous recombination proficiency (HRP). We collected type and duration of maintenance therapy, among other variables, and built a multivariate model with landmark analysis at 6 months from baseline and applied it for time-dependent variables.

This study investigated the impact of high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) on gluten aggregation and dough rheology at different mixing stages, using wheat lines with deletions at the Glu-B1 locus. Dough rheology was analyzed across varying mixing levels, while the multiscale structure and composition of gluten were systematically characterized. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations under increased pressure (10 bar) provided detailed insights into the structural dynamics of different HMW-GSs.

Purpose: Inhibition of the cyclin D-cyclin dependent kinase (CDK)4/6-INK4-retinoblastoma pathway can overcome acquired or de novo treatment resistance to endocrine monotherapy. Responses to endocrine monotherapy in advanced endometrial cancer (EC) are suboptimal, perhaps due to genomic alterations that promote estrogen receptor (ER)-independent cyclin D1-CDK4/6 activation. We hypothesized that addition of abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 kinase inhibitor, to antiestrogen therapy with fulvestrant will be an effective therapeutic strategy in patients with advanced or recurrent EC.
