A series of N,N'-diphenyl and N-naphthyl-N'-phenyl guanidine derivatives was synthesized as potential N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor positron emission tomography (PET) ligands. The affinity of the different compounds was determined using in vitro receptor binding assays, and their log P values were estimated using HPLC analysis. The effect of N'-3 and N'-3,5 substitution on affinity and lipophilicity was examined. The K(i) values ranged from 1.87 to 839nM, while log P values between 1.22 and 2.88 were observed.

Background: In this work, we implement a data-driven approach using an aggregation of several analytical methods to study the characteristics of COVID-19 daily infection and death time series and identify correlations and characteristic trends that can be corroborated to the time evolution of this disease. The datasets cover twelve distinct countries across six continents, from January 22, 2020 till March 1, 2022. This time span is partitioned into three windows: (1) pre-vaccine, (2) post-vaccine and pre-omicron (BA.

Modeling the Digital Twin (DT) is an important resource for accurately representing the physical entity, enabling it to deliver functional services, meet application requirements, and address the disturbances between the physical and digital realms. This article introduces the Log Mean Kinematics Difference Synchronization (SyncLMKD) to measure the kinematic variations distributed among Digital Twin elements to ensure symmetric values relative to a reference. The proposed method employs abductive reasoning and draws inspiration from the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD).

The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) is a well-recognized risk factor for a range of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. However, the population-level characteristics of CMI and its potential association with mortality risk among individuals over 40 years of age have not been investigated. This study aims to assess the association between CMI and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among the middle-aged and elderly population.

Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a severe condition causing bilateral pitting edema or signs of wasting in children, with a high mortality risk. An outpatient therapeutic program is recommended for managing SAM children without complications, but there is limited information on recovery time and its determinants.
Objective: This study aims to assess the time to recovery and its predictors among children aged 6-59 months with SAM admitted to the Outpatient therapeutic program in the Borena zone, Oromia region, Southern Ethiopia in 2023.
