Efficient visual word recognition presumably relies on orthographic prediction error (oPE) representations. On the basis of a transparent neurocognitive computational model rooted in the principles of the predictive coding framework, we postulated that readers optimize their percept by removing redundant visual signals, allowing them to focus on the informative aspects of the sensory input (i.e.

Objective: Revision surgeries for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in arthroplasty can follow either one- or two-stage treatment protocols. Previous studies have reported similar reinfection rates and reductions in complication rates for both treatment options. However, the literature on the selection of one protocol is still controversial.

Neddylation is a process of attaching neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 (NEDD8) to substrates for the protein function modulation via enzymatic cascades involving NEDD8-activating enzyme (E1), NEDD8-conjugating enzyme (E2), and NEDD8 ligase (E3). Defective in cullin neddylation 1 (DCN1) serves as a co-E3 ligase, that can simultaneously bind E2 UBE2M and cullin proteins to stabilize the catalytic center of the Cullin-Ring E3 ligase (CRL) complex, thereby promoting cullin neddylation. Neddylation is reported to be activated in diverse human diseases, and inhibition of protein neddylation has been regarded as a promising anticancer therapy.

The global freshwater crisis, exacerbated by escalating pollution, poses a significant threat to human health. Addressing this challenge required innovative strategies to develop highly efficient and process-adaptable materials for water decontamination. In this regard, nanomaterials with confinement structures have emerged as a promising solution, outperforming traditional nanomaterials in terms of efficiency, selectivity, stability, and process adaptability, thereby serving as an ideal platform for designing novel functional materials for sustainable water treatment.

Purpose: The clinical prognostic value of monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients undergoing nonintensive treatment remains insufficiently established. The aim of this work was to examine MRD status at various time points, highlighting the potential for pre-emptive therapy to improve patient outcomes.

Methods: Inpatient data from 2017 to 2024 were used in this retrospective study.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "W G Fu"

  • - W G Fu's recent research focuses on the interplay between health factors such as microbial influences in colorectal cancer, PTSD symptoms among medical staff, and the prognostic capabilities of medical assessments in conditions like multiple myeloma and stroke! - Findings indicate that microbial effects may contribute to varying responses to immunotherapy in colorectal cancer, while perceived social support can significantly influence PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers during public health emergencies, through resilience and coping mechanisms! - Additionally, research shows that Tmax profile can predict stroke recurrence in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, and the Mayo additive staging system along with minimal residual disease evaluation are crucial for prognostic assessments in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients!
