A general bridging technique is developed to calculate the extinction efficiency of particles by combining the extended Rayleigh-Debye approximation and the modified anomalous diffraction theory. Comparisons with the exact methods are performed for spheres, spheroids, infinite cylinders, and finite cylinders. The overall features of the extinction efficiencies calculated from the new, to our knowledge, bridging method are in agreement with those calculated from the exact methods. Also discussed are accuracy of the new method and its domain of applicability. The new technique can be potentially applied to particles of virtually any shapes and sizes.

Machine learning and genomic medicine are the mainstays of research in delivering personalized healthcare services for disease diagnosis, risk stratification, tailored treatment, and prediction of adverse effects. However, potential prediction errors in healthcare services can have life-threatening impact, raising reasonable skepticism about whether these applications have practical benefit in clinical settings. Conformal prediction offers a versatile framework for addressing these concerns by quantifying the uncertainty of predictive models.

Background: The underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minoritized populations in public health and clinical trials research remains a persistent issue. Yet, despite the growing body of literature investigating Latino participation in research, studies examining differences Latino sub-groups remains limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate how knowledge, awareness and willingness to participate in research differs between US- born and immigrant Latinos.

Introduction: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, with over 1 billion people worldwide living with obesity. It is associated with an increased risk of over 200 chronic co-morbidities, including an increased susceptibility to infection. Numerous studies have highlighted the dysfunction caused by obesity on a wide range of immune cell subsets, including dendritic cells (DCs).

Background: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder of the orbit, associated with a range of potential clinical sequelae. Tumor cells in TED overexpress pro-angiogenic factors, driving the formation of heterogeneous and immature neovascularization. This dysregulated angiogenesis often leads to a hypoxic microenvironment due to insufficient perfusion.
