Published: October 2005

The relative amounts of different phases in multiphase regions in the common three-component phase diagrams are usually estimated graphically using geometrical features of the diagram. The present contribution introduces algebraic expressions for the lines in the diagram, which allow these numbers to be calculated directly from the experimental results. The method is an extension of the classical methods, which were translated into convenient computer programs [Laughlin, R. G. The Aqueous Phase Behavior of Surfactants; Academic Press: New York, 1994] to calculate the amount of different phases for individual compositions. The introduction of analytical geometry allows simplified expressions to be used for the calculations and the amounts to be presented as continuous functions of the total composition.

Background: In pancreatic surgery Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) represents the most dreaded complication, for which pancreatic texture is acknowledged as one of the strongest predictors. No consensual objective reference has been defined to evaluate the pancreas composition. The presented study aimed to mine histology data of the pancreatic tissue composition with AI assist and correlate it with clinic-pathological parameters derived from the RECOPANC study.

Integrating machine learning, suspect and nontarget screening reveal the interpretable fates of micropollutants and their transformation products in sludge.

Electronic address:

Activated sludge enriches vast amounts of micropollutants (MPs) when wastewater is treated, posing potential environmental risks. While standard methods typically focus on target analysis of known compounds, the identity, structure, and concentration of transformation products (TPs) of MPs remain less understood. Here, we employed a novel approach that integrates machine learning for the quantification of nontarget TPs with advanced target, suspect, and nontarget screening strategies.

Aims: Sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase 2 (SERCA2), encoded by ATP2A2, is a key protein involved in intracellular Ca homeostasis. The SERCA2a isoform is predominantly expressed in cardiomyocytes and type I myofibres. Variants in this gene are related to Darier disease, an autosomal dominant dermatologic disorder, but have never been linked to myopathy.

Association between domain-specific physical activity and triglyceride‑glucose (TyG) index among US adults: Evidence from NHANES 2007-2018.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University, 1508 Longhang Road, Jinshan District, Shanghai, China, 201508.

Objectives: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is not only a reliable marker for insulin resistance, but also has broad applications in assessing the risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to investigate the relationship between domain-specific moderate- or vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and TyG index among US adults.

Methods: The participants from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) were included.
