Background: Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) have been shown to be associated with frailty, but these findings have not yet reached a consensus. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between CRDs and frailty in the elderly using a nationally representative data from China.
Methods: Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were analysed, including 3309 frailty-free participants followed for three waves from 2011.
Despite remarkable advancements in the organic synthesis field facilitated by the use of machine learning (ML) techniques, the prediction of reaction outcomes, including yield estimation, catalyst optimization, and mechanism identification, continues to pose a significant challenge. This challenge arises primarily from the lack of appropriate descriptors capable of retaining crucial molecular information for accurate prediction while also ensuring computational efficiency. This study presents a successful application of ML for predicting the performance of Ir-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions.

- The study analyzed clinical features of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), a type of painful ophthalmoplegia, by collecting data from patients diagnosed at a hospital over four years.
- A total of 35 patients were included, with 18 diagnosed with THS, who typically presented symptoms like pain, ptosis, and MRI abnormalities, alongside various immunological findings.
- Treated with glucocorticoids, most THS patients saw symptom relief within weeks, though some experienced relapses during follow-up.
The development of a comprehensive pig graph pangenome assembly encompassing 27 genomes represents the most extensive collection of pig genomic data to date. Analysis of this pangenome reveals the critical role of structural variations in driving adaptation and defining breed-specific traits. Notably, the study identifies as a key candidate gene governing intramuscular fat deposition and meat quality in pigs.
