Entropy Production in an Electro-Membrane Process at Underlimiting Currents-Influence of Temperature.

The entropy production in the polarization phenomena occurring in the underlimiting regime, when an electric current circulates through a single cation-exchange membrane system, has been investigated in the 3-40 °C temperature range. From the analysis of the current-voltage curves and considering the electro-membrane system as a unidimensional heterogeneous system, the total entropy generation in the system has been estimated from the contribution of each part of the system. Classical polarization theory and the irreversible thermodynamics approach have been used to determine the total electric potential drop and the entropy generation, respectively, associated with the different transport mechanisms in each part of the system.

A fetal oncogene NUAK2 is an emerging therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most prevalent and highly malignant form of adult brain cancer characterized by poor overall survival rates. Effective therapeutic modalities remain limited, necessitating the search for novel treatments. Neurodevelopmental pathways have been implicated in glioma formation, with key neurodevelopmental regulators being re-expressed or co-opted during glioma tumorigenesis.

Faster and better than a physician?: Assessing diagnostic proficiency of ChatGPT in misdiagnosed individuals with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

Background: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a commonly misdiagnosed condition. Driven by cost-consciousness and technological fluency, distinct generations may gravitate towards healthcare alternatives, including artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). Our objective was to evaluate the speed and accuracy of ChatGPT-3.

[High blood pressure and associated lifestyles in an urban population in Argentina].

Introduction: The American Heart Association (AHA/ACC) sets as a goal for blood pressure (BP) control not to exceed values of 130/80 mmHg, both in individuals with and without a diagnosis of hypertension (HT), standards not evaluated so far in the Argentine population. The objective was to determine the prevalence of high BP (HBP) in individuals with and without a diagnosis of HT taking into account the AHA/ACC criteria and to evaluate its association with sociodemographic and lifestyle factors.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional populationbased study in 911 persons >18 years of age in Córdoba, Argentina (period 2020-2022).

Early Initiative of Structured Mentoring and Research for Social Disadvantage Trainees to Increase Diversity and Inclusion among Clinician Scientists.

Background: There is a significant lag in integrating ethnically diverse healthcare trainees as clinician scientists. Although this gap is acknowledged, it is mostly focused physician scientists with a marked lag in dental scientists and the other healthcare fields such as the physician assistant program. We report on the outcome of three cohorts of underserved and economically disadvantaged trainees from a National Institute of Health Heart and Lung Blood Institute R25 summer training program with participants from four Rutgers Health Science schools.
