Medicinal plants have been explored worldwide as potential alternatives for the prevention and treatment of different diseases, including viral infections. Spreng. (Asteraceae) is a native medicinal species widely used in South America.

Currently, no automated or manual method reliably identifies subpar images, given pre-specified exclusion criteria. In this work, we propose a protocol describing how to carry out the visual assessment of T1-weighted, T2-weighted, functional, and diffusion MRI scans of the human brain with the visual reports generated by .

- - The study explored how tissue proximity indication (TPI), which assesses catheter contact with tissue, affects the success of lesion formation during pulsed field ablation (PFA) in live porcine models.
- - Researchers compared lesions formed under different contact conditions (no/minimum vs. consistent contact) and found that consistent contact resulted in significantly larger and more effective lesions, with greater transmurality.
- - The results highlight that a reliable TPI signal is crucial for achieving optimal lesion characteristics, suggesting that maintaining good tissue contact can enhance the outcomes of PFA procedures.
Introduction: Cancer survivors experienced poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and greater psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic than those without cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms that may explain how negative experiences during the pandemic are associated with distress and HRQoL remain unknown. We examined whether psychosocial risk factors (i.

This study establishes a novel link between and the reactivity descriptors of conceptual density functional theory (c-DFT). Specifically, we derive expressions that relate the reaction force constant to nuclear softness and variations in chemical potential.
