Three-dimensional imaging is an emerging technique in radiology. It might be used to help view the spine and assist in improving evaluation of scoliosis. These images are currently computer generated and although very effective are actually optical iflusions. Questions remain as to the reliability and validity of these images which are important considerations when treatment regimens are being developed and surgery contemplated. Using a constructed three-diemnsional image of a box, this study assessed the inter- and intra-reliability of viewing a specific point on this box and also the inter-reliability of identifying the coordinates of this same point. There was good reliability for viewing a single point in the X and Z axes which formed the plane of the computer but there was a 10X decrease in reliability along the Y-axis (depth). This pattern was repeated when considering the relationship between observers to identify the actual coordinates of the same point.

Smartphone-based colorimetric (bio)sensing is a promising alternative to conventional detection equipment for on-site testing, but it is often limited by sensitivity to lighting conditions. These issues are usually avoided using housings with fixed light sources, increasing the cost and complexity of the on-site test, where simplicity, portability, and affordability are a priority. In this study, we demonstrate that careful optimization of color space can significantly boost the performance of smartphone-based colorimetric sensing, enabling housing-free, illumination-invariant detection.

Outside acoustic communication, little is known about how animals coordinate social turn taking and how the brain drives engagement in these social interactions. Using Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), we discover dynamic visual features of an opponent and behavioral sequences that drive visually driven turn-taking aggressive behavior. Lesions of the telencephalon show that it is unnecessary for coordinating turn taking but is required for persistent participation in aggressive interactions.

Phosphorus in crucial for all living organisms. In vertebrate, cellular phosphate homeostasis is partly controlled by XPR1, a poorly characterized inositol pyrophosphate-dependent phosphate exporter. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of human XPR1, which forms a loose dimer with 10 transmembrane helices (TM) in each protomer.

Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy (Adj) reduces recurrence and improves long-term survival in patients with surgically resected lung cancer. However, it has minimal impact on patients who die without relapsing. To optimize Adj indications, we aimed to identify factors associated with nonrelapse mortality (NRM).

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is a common zoonotic pathogen that not only causes gastroenteritis or death of livestock and poultry but also poses a serious threat to human health, causing severe economic losses to the poultry industry and society. Herein, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to analyze the transcriptome variation of chicken cecum at four different time points (1, 3, 7, and 14 days) following S.
