The mathematical analysis of exact filtered back-projection algorithms is strictly related to Radon inversion. We show how filter-lines can be defined for the helical trajectory, which serve for the extraction of contributions of particular kinds of Radon-planes. Due to the Fourier-slice theorem, Radon-planes with few intersections with the helix are associated with low-frequency contributions to transversal slices. This insight leads to different applications of the new method. The application presented here enables the incorporation of an arbitrary amount of redundant data in an approximate way. This means that the back-projection is not restricted to an n-Pi interval. A detailed mathematical analysis, in which we demonstrate how the defined filter-lines work, concludes this paper.

Pharmacogenomics stands as a pivotal driver toward personalized medicine, aiming to optimize drug efficacy while minimizing adverse effects by uncovering the impact of genetic variations on inter-individual outcome variability. Despite its promise, the intricate landscape of drug metabolism introduces complexity, where the correlation between drug response and genes can be shaped by numerous nongenetic factors, often exhibiting heterogeneity across diverse subpopulations. This challenge is particularly pronounced in datasets such as the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium (IWPC), which encompasses diverse patient information from multiple nations.

An animal's body mass is said to be indirectly related to its rate of heat loss; that is, smaller animals with higher surface area to volume tend to lose heat faster than larger animals. Thus, thermoregulation should be related to body size, however, generalizable patterns are still unclear. Domestic dogs are a diverse species of endothermic mammals, including a 44-fold difference in body size.

Background: Previous research has underscored the efficacy of individual control strategies in mitigating influenza spread within communal settings; however, the unique dynamics of residential summer camps-characterized by close contact and high social interaction-present distinct challenges for outbreak management.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two targeted antiviral prophylaxis protocols using oseltamivir in controlling influenza outbreaks within a residential youth camp, aiming to provide evidence-based insights for optimizing outbreak management in communal settings with high social interaction.
Design: This retrospective study analyzed the progression of influenza outbreaks in a residential youth camp using two antiviral prophylaxis protocols with oseltamivir.

Mathematical models of viral dynamics are crucial in understanding infection trajectories. However, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load data often includes limited sparse observations with significant heterogeneity. This study aims to: (1) understand the impact of patient characteristics in shaping the temporal viral load trajectory and (2) establish a data collection protocol (DCP) to reliably reconstruct individual viral load trajectories.

Type II restriction-modification (R-M) systems play a pivotal role in bacterial defense against invading DNA, influencing the spread of pathogenic traits. These systems often involve coordinated expression of a regulatory protein (C) with restriction (R) enzymes, employing complex feedback loops for regulation. Recent studies highlight the crucial balance between R and M enzymes in controlling horizontal gene transfer (HGT).
