The standard method of soft X-ray beamline calibration at the N K-edge uses the nu = 0 peak transition of gas-phase N(2). Interstitial N(2) gas trapped or formed within widely available solid-state ammonium- and amine-containing salts can be used for this purpose, bypassing gas-phase measurements. Evidence from non-nitrogen-containing compounds (KH(2)PO(4)) and from He-purged ammonium salts suggest that production of N(2) gas is through beam-induced decomposition. Compounds with nitrate or nitrite as anions produce coincident features and are not suitable for this calibration method.

To accurately model and validate the 6 MV Elekta Compactlinear accelerator using the Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE). In particular, this study focuses on the precise calibration and validation of critical parameters, including jaw collimator positioning, electron source nominal energy, flattening filter geometry, and electron source spot size, which are often not provided in technical documentation. Methods: Simulation of the Elekta Compact6 MV linear accelerator was performed using the Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) v.

Machine learning validation of a simple prediction model for the correlation between advanced age and clinical outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Adverse effects of advanced age and poor initial neurological status on outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have been documented. While a predictive model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome has been reported, no previous model has been validated. Therefore, we created a prediction model of the non-linear correlation between advanced age and clinical outcome by machine learning and validated it using a separate cohort.

We aimed to develop a screening tool to better allocate resources by identifying individuals at higher risk for OSA, overcoming limitations of current tools that may under-diagnose based on self-reported symptoms.
Methods: A total of 884 patients (490 diagnosed with OSA) were included, which was divided into the training, validation, and test sets.
Establishment and validation of a nomogram for predicting intravenous immunoglobulin resistance and coronary artery lesion involvement in Kawasaki disease: a retrospective study.

Department of Pediatrics, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Jinan, 250012, China.
Objective: We aimed to develop a useful nomogram for early identification of Kawasaki disease (KD) children at a high risk of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary artery lesion (CAL) complications to improve KD management.
Methods: Clinical data from 400 patients treated at our hospital between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2023, were collected. Lasso regression was utilized to screen risk factors for IVIG resistance and CAL involvement.
