Knowledge-based prediction of DNA hydration using hydrated dinucleotides as building blocks.

Water plays an important role in stabilizing the structure of DNA and mediating its interactions. Here, the hydration of DNA was analyzed in terms of dinucleotide fragments from an ensemble of 2727 nonredundant DNA chains containing 41 853 dinucleotides and 316 265 associated first-shell water molecules. The dinucleotides were classified into categories based on their 16 sequences and the previously determined structural classes known as nucleotide conformers (NtCs).

Study of the Pulse of Peristaltic Pumps for Use in 3D Extrusion Bioprinting.

Peristaltic pumps are used in healthcare for their ability to aseptically displace various fluids, including medium-density gels and suspended solids. However, they have the undesirable characteristic of pulsing at their output. Three-dimensional printing is becoming a reality in tissue engineering, and it generally uses syringes to extrude hydrogels.

Probing Charm Quark Dynamics via Multiparticle Correlations in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV.

Multiparticle azimuthal correlations of prompt D^{0} mesons are measured in Pb-Pb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV. For the first time, a four-particle cumulant method is used to extract the second Fourier coefficient of the azimuthal distribution (v_{2}) of D^{0} mesons as a function of event centrality and the D^{0} transverse momentum.

Search for Resonances Decaying to Three W Bosons in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV.

A search for resonances decaying into a W boson and a radion, where the radion decays into two W bosons, is presented. The data analyzed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} recorded in proton-proton collisions with the CMS detector at sqrt[s]=13  TeV. One isolated charged lepton is required, together with missing transverse momentum and one or two massive large-radius jets, containing the decay products of either two or one W bosons, respectively.

Human vs. Machine Learning Based Detection of Facial Weakness Using Video Analysis.

Background: Current EMS stroke screening tools facilitate early detection and triage, but the tools' accuracy and reliability are limited and highly variable. An automated stroke screening tool could improve stroke outcomes by facilitating more accurate prehospital diagnosis and delivery. We hypothesize that a machine learning algorithm using video analysis can detect common signs of stroke.

CDK4/6 blockade provides an alternative approach for treatment of mismatch-repair deficient tumors.

Mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) tumors show a good response toward immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), but developing resistance impairs patients' outcomes. Here, we compared the therapeutic potential of an α-PD-L1 antibody with the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib in two preclinical mouse models of dMMR cancer, focusing on immune-modulatory effects of either treatment. Abemaciclib monotherapy significantly prolonged overall survival of Mlh1 and Msh2 mice (Mlh1: 14.

Titanium dioxide and carbon black nanoparticles disrupt neuronal homeostasis via excessive activation of cellular prion protein signaling.

Background: Epidemiological emerging evidence shows that human exposure to some nanosized materials present in the environment would contribute to the onset and/or progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The cellular and molecular mechanisms whereby nanoparticles would exert some adverse effects towards neurons and take part in AD pathology are nevertheless unknown.

Results: Here, we provide the prime evidence that titanium dioxide (TiO) and carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (NPs) bind the cellular form of the prion protein (PrP), a plasma membrane protein well known for its implication in prion diseases and prion-like diseases, such as AD.

Methods: ASCO updated recommendations on the basis of an ongoing systematic review of randomized control trials from 2020 to 2021.

Results: This guideline update reflects changes in evidence since the previous update.

Native generalist natural enemies and an introduced specialist parasitoid together control an invasive forest insect.

Specialized natural enemies have long been used to implement the biological control of invasive insects. Although research tracking populations following biological control introductions has traditionally focused on the impact of the introduced agent, recent studies and reviews have reflected an appreciation of the complex interactions of the introduced specialist agents with native generalist natural enemies. These interactions can be neutral, antagonistic, or complementary.

Dentophobia and dental treatment: An umbrella review of the published literature.

Aims: Dentophobia is a well-know kind of phobia and psychological problem in dentistry. Although patients might suffer from severe oral pain and have serious health complications, dentophobia is still posing a threat to oral healthcare and remains an unresolved worldwide phenomenon. According to estimates, up to 80% of the general population are affected by this condition.

A First Estimate of the Annual Prevalence of Basivertebral Nerve Ablation Candidates in a Spine Clinic.

Background: Emerging literature supports the use of basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) for a specific cohort of patients with chronic low back pain and Type 1 or Type 2 Modic changes from vertebral levels L3-S1. The early literature warrants further evaluation. Studies establishing the efficacy of BVNA use highly selective patient criteria.

Cellular engagement and interaction in the tumor microenvironment predict non-response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents have improved the survival of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). Tumor PD-L1 expression is an imperfect biomarker as it does not capture the complex interactions between constituents of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Using multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry (mfIHC), we modeled the TME to study the influence of cellular distribution and engagement on response to ICI in mNSCLC.

Specially designed and CAD/CAM manufactured allogeneic bone blocks using for augmentation of a highly atrophic maxilla show a stable base for an all-on-six treatment concept: a case report.

Background: In terms of a highly atrophic maxilla, bone augmentation still remains very challenging. With the introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) for allogeneic bone blocks, a new method for the treatment of bone deficiencies was created. This case report demonstrates the successful use of two specially designed and CAD/CAM manufactured allogeneic bone blocks for a full arch reconstruction of a highly atrophic maxilla with an all-on-six concept.

"Maybe this is just not the place for me:" Gender harassment and discrimination in the geosciences.

Rampant gender-based harassment and discrimination are recognized problems that negatively impact efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. We explored the particularities of this phenomenon in the geosciences, via focus groups conducted at STEM professional society meetings, with the goal of informing interventions specific to the discipline. Using grounded theory analysis, two primary drivers for the persistence and perpetuation of gender-based harassment in the geosciences were identified: a particular history of power dynamics and maintenance of dominant stereotypes, and a pattern of ineffective responses to incidents of harassment and discrimination.

Initial Phase I Safety Study of Gedatolisib plus Cofetuzumab Pelidotin for Patients with Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Purpose: The PI3K pathway is dysregulated in the majority of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), yet single-agent inhibition of PI3K has been ineffective in TNBC. PI3K inhibition leads to an immediate compensatory upregulation of the Wnt pathway. Dual targeting of both pathways is highly synergistic against TNBC models in vitro and in vivo.
