Reduced graphs provide summary representations of chemical structures. Here, a variety of different types of reduced graphs are compared in similarity searches. The reduced graphs are found to give comparable performance to Daylight fingerprints in terms of the number of active compounds retrieved. However, no one type of reduced graph is found to be consistently superior across a variety of different data sets. Consequently, a representative set of reduced graphs was chosen and used together with Daylight fingerprints in data fusion experiments. The results show improved performance in 10 out of 11 data sets compared to using Daylight fingerprints alone. Finally, the potential of using reduced graphs to build SAR models is demonstrated using recursive partitioning. An SAR model consistent with a published model is found following just two splits in the decision tree.

Background And Objectives: Access to blood components in pre-hospital bleeding resuscitation is challenging. Dried plasma is a logistically superior alternative, and new products are emerging. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate laboratory and practical differences in three differently produced dried plasma products.

This study demonstrates the use of GPT-4 and variants, advanced language models readily accessible to many social scientists, in extracting political networks from text. This approach showcases the novel integration of GPT-4's capabilities in entity recognition, relation extraction, entity linking, and sentiment analysis into a single cohesive process. Based on a corpus of 1009 Chilean political news articles, the study validates the graph extraction method using 'legislative agreement', i.

Aberrant Structural-Functional Coupling of Large-scale Brain Networks in Older Women with Subthreshold Depression.

J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Huaxi MR Research Center (HMRRC), Institution of Radiology and Medical Imaging, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Objectives: Subthreshold depression (SD) is common in the older population, more so in females than males, and can lead to serious physical and mental ill-health. However, the underlying neurobiology remains unclear. This study used multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate the topological organization and coupling of the structural and functional brain networks in older women with SD.

methylGrapher: genome-graph-based processing of DNA methylation data from whole genome bisulfite sequencing.

Genome graphs, including the recently released draft human pangenome graph, can represent the breadth of genetic diversity and thus transcend the limits of traditional linear reference genomes. However, there are no genome-graph-compatible tools for analyzing whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. To close this gap, we introduce methylGrapher, a tool tailored for accurate DNA methylation analysis by mapping WGBS data to a genome graph.

Diversity of complementary diet and early food allergy risk.

Pediatr Allergy Immunol

January 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences, Pediatrics, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.

Introduction: Diet diversity (DD) in infancy may be protective for early food allergy (FA) but there is limited knowledge about how DD incorporating consumption frequency influences FA risk.

Methods: Three measures of DD were investigated in 2060 infants at 6 and/or at 9 months of age within the NorthPop Birth Cohort Study: a weighted DD score based on intake frequency, the number of introduced foods, and the number of introduced allergenic foods. In multivariable logistic regression models based on directed acyclic graphs, associations to parentally reported physician-diagnosed FA at age 9 and 18 months were estimated, including sensitivity and stratified analyses.
