Published: December 2003

The transport properties of a quantum dot coupled to superconducting leads are analyzed. It is shown that the quasiparticle current in the Kondo regime is determined by the nonequilibrium dynamics of subgap states (Andreev states) under an applied voltage. The current at low bias is suppressed exponentially for decreasing Kondo temperature in agreement with recent experiments. We also predict novel interference effects due to multiple Landau-Zener transitions between Andreev states.

Characteristic patterns of UV-induced skin autofluorescence were determined for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and associated with dysmetabolic alterations, such as nonenzymatic protein glycation, an increase in extracellular matrix stiffness, impaired metabolism of tissue fluorophores, mitochondrial dysfunction, and accumulation of aberrant proteins. Key differences in skin autofluorescence spectra were for the first time observed in PD, making it possible to discriminate between PD patients and healthy persons or individuals without signs of chronic neurodegeneration. Namely, skin fluorescence related to the reflected signal upon excitation with UV light at 375 nm was lower in PD patients.

Time series is a data structure prevalent in a wide range of fields such as healthcare, finance and meteorology. It goes without saying that analyzing time series data holds the key to gaining insight into our day-to-day observations. Among the vast spectrum of time series analysis, time series classification offers the unique opportunity to classify the sequences into their respective categories for the sake of automated detection.

Aim: Comparative assessment of structural changes in cardiomyocyte mitochondria of the right atrial appendage and the mitochondrial respiratory function in peripheral blood leukocytes in a cohort of patients after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and with stable chronic heart failure of ischemic etiology with reduced ejection fraction (CHFrEF) or moderately reduced ejection fraction (CHFmrEF) of the left ventricle.

Material And Methods: The study analyzed 40 micrographs of right atrial appendage cardiomyocytes obtained from 12 patients with CHFrEF and CHFmrEF. The study protocol was registered on ClinicalTrials.

Background: Nucleotide sequence can be translated in three reading frames from 5' to 3' producing distinct protein products. Many examples of RNA translation in two reading frames (dual coding) have been identified so far.

Results: We report simultaneous translation of mRNA transcripts derived from locus in all three reading frames that result in the synthesis of long proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • A method was developed to model liver cirrhosis in male Wistar rats by performing a significant liver resection (about 70% volume).
  • After surgery, one group received ademetionine while the control group got saline; both had various tests conducted on them over a 14-day period.
  • Results indicated that the ademetionine group experienced notable liver dysfunction, with laboratory tests showing significant abnormalities, along with observable fibrotic, cirrhotic, and inflammatory liver changes that persisted beyond the testing period.
