We report the spontaneous emergence of a doubly periodic train of sedimented knolls in a dense suspension. These solidified knolls rise out of, and coexist alongside, a sea of freely flowing liquid in a slowly rotating horizontal bottle. We apply a variable viscosity model that permits simultaneous analysis of fluidlike and solidlike behaviors that are ubiquitous in a variety of sedimenting flows. The model generates qualitative agreement with experiments, and produces new insights into mechanisms by which sedimented structures form.

Global impact of 10- and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines on pneumococcal meningitis in all ages: the PSERENADE project.
J Infect
January 2025
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD 21205, United States.
Background: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) introduced in childhood national immunization programs lowered vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), but replacement with non-vaccine-types persisted throughout the PCV10/13 follow-up period. We assessed PCV10/13 impact on pneumococcal meningitis incidence globally.
Methods: The number of cases with serotyped pneumococci detected in cerebrospinal fluid and population denominators were obtained from surveillance sites globally.
Provided and received positive and negative social control, relationship satisfaction, and sedentary behavior in parent-child dyads.

Wroclaw Faculty of Psychology, SWPS University, Ostrowskiego 30b5, 53-238 Wroclaw, Poland.
Background: The close relationship processes and health model and the dyadic health influence model posit that relationship beliefs (eg, relationship satisfaction) and influence strategies (eg, provision and receipt of positive and negative social control) mediate health behavior change. However, evidence for such mediation in parent-child dyads is limited.
Purpose: Two complementary mediation hypotheses were tested: (1) social control forms indirect relationships with sedentary behavior (SB), via relationship satisfaction acting as a mediator; and (2) relationship satisfaction forms indirect relationships with SB, with social control operating as a mediator.
Optimizing In Vivo Data Acquisition for Robust Clinical Microvascular Imaging Using Ultrasound Localization Microscopy.

Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) enables microvascular imaging at spatial resolutions beyond the acoustic diffraction limit, offering significant clinical potentials. However, ULM performance relies heavily on microbubble (MB) signal sparsity, the number of detected MBs, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), all of which vary in clinical scenarios involving bolus MB injections. These sources of variations underscore the need to optimize MB dosage, data acquisition timing, and imaging settings in order to standardize and optimize ULM of microvasculature.

The medial entorhinal cortex of rodents is known to contain grid cells that exhibit precise periodic firing patterns based on the animal's position, resulting in a distinct hexagonal pattern in space. These cells have been extensively studied due to their potential to unveil the navigational computations that occur within the mammalian brain and interesting phenomena such as so-called grid cell distortions have been observed. Previous neuronal models of grid cells assumed their firing fields were independent of environmental boundaries.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates ancient microbiomes in archaeological dental calculus from 102 individuals across 10 Pacific islands and one island in Southeast Asia over ~3000 years, revealing insights into human migration patterns.
- DNA from oral microbiomes in dental calculus is better preserved than human DNA from bones, allowing for a clearer analysis of historical microbial communities.
- The oral microbial communities from the Pacific and Island Southeast Asia are distinct from those in Europe, Africa, and Asia, indicating that geographic factors influence the composition of these ancient microbiomes.
