Acetophenone and its derivatives reacted on thionyl chloride to form an intermediate, which can react on the secondary aminnes to form alpha-carbonylthioformamides (1a-1f), followed by sulfurization with lawesson reagent to give target compounds alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides (2a-2f). Compounds 2a-2f are the deep-red or deep-green crystals because there are two thiocarbonyl groups in the molecule, and they can be used as far-infraed adsorbent dyes, laser-Q switch and organic conductors. Moreover, they are very important intermediates, can react on reagents with amino or diamino groups to produce a variety of acyclic or heterocyclic compounds, which can be used as pesticides and medicines. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for the analysis of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides (2a-2f). OA-TOF high resolution mass spectrometer is suitable to do this because of its small volume, high speed and giving elemental composition of ions. In this paper, the mass fragmentation pattern of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides was studied in detail using OA-TOF high resolution mass spectrometer of Micromass. The results showed that the molecular ions appeared, then, a neutral molecule S2 was lost easily from the molecular ion of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides, forming a particular ion M-S2 (base peak). This provides an effective method for the analysis of these compounds.

Background: The clinical manifestations and course of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) exhibits considerable heterogeneity. In this study, we aimed to explore radiographic progression over a defined period, employing the Warrick score as a semi-quantitative measure in early RA-ILD, and to assess the associated risk factors for progression.
Methods: RA-ILD patients underwent consecutive Warrick scoring based on initial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) at diagnosis and the first follow-up.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate various anatomical parameters and their relationship to chorda tympani nerve (CTN) injury and round window (RW) access during cochlear implantation.
Materials And Methods: Ultra-high-resolution CT images of 66 patients were retrospectively reviewed and compared with operative reports. The facial recess and the round window were analyzed, mainly using the chorda-facial angle (CFA), the width of the facial recess, the CTN-tympanic annulus distance, the RW-mastoid portion of the facial nerve angle, and the type of RW.

Polysomnography (PSG) is crucial for diagnosing sleep disorders, but manual scoring of PSG is time-consuming and subjective, leading to high variability. While machine-learning models have improved PSG scoring, their clinical use is hindered by the 'black-box' nature. In this study, we present SleepXViT, an automatic sleep staging system using Vision Transformer (ViT) that provides intuitive, consistent explanations by mimicking human 'visual scoring'.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has dramatically advanced non-invasive human brain mapping and decoding. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) non-invasively measure blood oxygen fluctuations related to brain activity, like fMRI, at the brain surface, using more-lightweight equipment that circumvents ergonomic and logistical limitations of fMRI. HD-DOT grids have smaller inter-optode spacing (~ 13 mm) than sparse fNIRS (~ 30 mm) and therefore provide higher image quality, with spatial resolution ~ 1/2 that of fMRI, when using the several source-detector distances (13-40 mm) afforded by the HD-DOT grid.

High-resolution fluorescence imaging of ultracold atoms and molecules is paramount to performing quantum simulation and computation in optical lattices and tweezers. Imaging durations in these experiments typically range from a millisecond to a second, significantly limiting the cycle time. In this work, we present fast, 2.
