Implementation of a Machine Learning Risk Prediction Model for Postpartum Depression in the Electronic Health Records.

This study describes the deployment process of an AI-driven clinical decision support (CDS) system to support postpartum depression (PPD) prevention, diagnosis and management. Central to this CDS is an L2-regularized logistic regression model trained on electronic health record (EHR) data at an academic medical center, and subsequently refined through a broader dataset from a consortium to ensure its generalizability and fairness. The deployment architecture leveraged Microsoft Azure to facilitate a scalable, secure, and efficient operational framework.

Insight into the removal of nanoplastics and microplastics by physical, chemical, and biological techniques.

Plastic pollutants create health crises like physical damage to tissues, upset reproductive processes, altered behaviour, oxidative stress, neurological disorders, DNA damage, gene expression, and disrupt physiological functions, as the biosphere accumulates them inadvertently through the food web. Water resources have become the generic host of plastic wastes irrespective of their particle size, resulting in widespread distribution in aquatic environments. The pre-treatment step of the traditional water treatment process can easily remove coarse-sized plastic wastes.

Large atypical parathyroid tumor - a diagnostic conundrum.

Atypical parathyroid tumor (APT) is a rare neoplasm of the parathyroid gland, which shows atypical cytological or architectural features and lacks definite diagnosis criteria for malignancy. These cases can cause diagnostic challenges owing to their rarity and similarity with thyroid neoplasm on imaging and fine needle aspiration cytology. Also, differentiating APT from giant parathyroid adenoma or parathyroid carcinoma can be challenging based on clinical, imaging or cytological features.

This overview explores recent advancements in graphene-based cathode materials for fuel cell applications. Graphene's large surface area and excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength make it ideal for use in different solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as well as proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).

A single-cell atlas characterizes dysregulation of the bone marrow immune microenvironment associated with outcomes in multiple myeloma.

Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite advances in treatment options. Although tumor subtypes and specific DNA abnormalities are linked to worse prognosis, the impact of immune dysfunction on disease emergence and/or treatment sensitivity remains unclear. We established a harmonized consortium to generate an Immune Atlas of MM aimed at informing disease etiology, risk stratification, and potential therapeutic strategies.

A Cross-Sectional Study on Motor and Sensory Nerve Functions in Women Newly Diagnosed and Untreated for Hypothyroidism in a Tribal Area of Odisha, India.

Altered levels of thyroid hormones can impact various body systems, including the nervous system. Hypothyroidism may disrupt nerve conduction due to pathophysiological changes associated with hormone deficiency. The tribal population, characterized by distinct lifestyles and dietary habits, may experience unique influences on their growth and development.

The Role of Selenium Nanoparticles in Addressing Diabetic Complications: A Comprehensive Study.

Diabetes, as an emerging epidemic, has put forward a significant spotlight on the evolving population worldwide grounded upon the remarkable affliction of healthcare along with economical conflict. Various studies suggested that, in modern society, lack of maintenance of a healthy life style leads to the occurrence of diabetes as insulin resistant, later having a damaging effect on the pancreatic β-cells, suggesting various complications. Furthermore, diabetes management is controversial owing to different opinions based on the prevention of complications.

Understanding genetic diversity in drought-adaptive hybrid parental lines in pearl millet.

Information on genetic diversity and population structure is helpful to strategize enhancing the genetic base of hybrid parental lines in breeding programs. The present study determined the population structure and genetic diversity of 109 pearl millet hybrid parental lines, known for their better adaptation and performance in drought-prone environments, using 16,472 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers generated from GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing) platforms. The SNPs were distributed uniformly across the pearl millet genome and showed considerable genetic diversity (0.

Emergent Ferromagnetism in CaRuO/CaMnO (111)-Oriented Superlattices.

The boundary between CaRuO and CaMnO is an ideal test bed for emergent magnetic ground states stabilized through interfacial electron interactions. In this system, nominally antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials combine to yield interfacial ferromagnetism in CaMnO due to electron leakage across the interface. In this work, we show that the crystal symmetry at the surface is a critical factor determining the nature of the interfacial interactions.

Planning and designing of an inpatient isolation facility for hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.

During the last two decades the world has seen an increase in the use of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) which has led to its worldwide expansion. Since, HSCT unit is an advanced set up, developing and maintaining a successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant program with a properly functioning unit enhances the credibility of any tertiary level medical facility especially for a country like ours which is in its early expanding phase of providing transplant services. The underlying principle for designing any HSCT facility is to maintain the highest possible level of aseptic environment for patients undergoing the transplant in order to prevent healthcare associated infections.

To leave no one behind: Assessing utilization of maternal newborn and child health services by all the 13 particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs) of Odisha, India.

Background: Indigenous tribal people experience lower coverage of maternal, newborn and child healthcare (MNCH) services worldwide, including in India. Meanwhile, Indian tribal people comprise a special sub-population who are even more isolated, marginalized and underserved, designated as particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs). However, there is an extreme paucity of evidence on how this most vulnerable sub-population utilizes health services.

The Simple prEservatioN of Single cElls method for cryopreservation enables the generation of single-cell immune profiles from whole blood.

Introduction: Current multistep methods utilized for preparing and cryopreserving single-cell suspensions from blood samples for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) are time-consuming, requiring trained personnel and special equipment, so limiting their clinical adoption. We developed a method, Simple prEservatioN of Single cElls (SENSE), for single-step cryopreservation of whole blood (WB) along with granulocyte depletion during single-cell assay, to generate high quality single-cell profiles (SCP).

Methods: WB was cryopreserved using the SENSE method and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and cryopreserved using the traditional density-gradient method (PBMC method) from the same blood sample (n=6).

Magnetic-Proximity-Induced Efficient Charge-to-Spin Conversion in Large-Area PtSe/NiFe Heterostructures.

As a topological Dirac semimetal with controllable spin-orbit coupling and conductivity, PtSe, a transition-metal dichalcogenide, is a promising material for several applications, from optoelectrics to sensors. However, its potential for spintronics applications has yet to be explored. In this work, we demonstrate that the PtSe/NiFe heterostructure can generate large damping-like current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOT), despite the absence of spin-splitting in bulk PtSe.
