We present a neurochemical, electrophysiological and physiological study on freely moving rats. During 3 days, we have simultaneously monitored acetylcholine (ACh) release in the hippocampus using the microdialysis technique, electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG) and subcutaneous temperature. A spectral analysis of EEG was performed and sleep stages were determined. Energy ratio in the delta (0-4 Hz), slow theta (4-6.5 Hz) and fast theta (6.5-9 Hz) band was calculated. Sleep stages were quantified using an automatic staging method. The circadian cycle of these parameters was observed. Waking, body temperature and ACh release presented synchronized cycles with close acrophases. The relationship between the central cholinergic system and the other parameters is discussed. The influence of handling on the measured parameters, as well as possible artifacts linked to the use of neostigmine in the microdialysis method are considered. Attention was focused on the cholinergic control of EEG theta rhythms.

Polycyclic multiple resonance (MR) molecules reveal narrowband emission, making them very promising emitters for high color purity display. Nevertheless, they still have challenges such as aggregation-induced emission quenching and spectral broadening. Overcoming these obstacles requires an in-depth understanding of the correlations among the alterations in their geometries, packing structures, and molecular vibrations and their corresponding changes in their photoluminescence (PL) properties.

There is a growing understanding of the structural dynamics of biological molecules fueled by x-ray crystallography experiments. Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (TR-SFX) with x-ray Free Electron Lasers allows the measurement of ultrafast structural changes in proteins. Nevertheless, this technique comes with some limitations.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.
Methods: In this single centre study, non-consecutive COPD patients were prospectively recruited for comparing their speech characteristics during and after an acute COPD exacerbation.
We introduce a computational topology-based approach with unsupervised machine-learning algorithms to estimate the database size and content of RNA-like graph topologies. Specifically, we apply graph theory enumeration to generate all 110,667 possible 2D dual graphs for vertex numbers ranging from 2 to 9. Among them, only 0.

Blood carries some of the most valuable biomarkers for disease screening as it interacts with various tissues and organs in the body. Human blood serum is a reservoir of high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) and low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) proteins. The LMWF proteins are considered disease marker proteins and are often suppressed by HMWF proteins during analysis.
