We discuss the sign of the persistent current of N electrons in one dimensional rings. Using a topology argument, we establish lower bounds for the free energy in the presence of arbitrary electron-electron interactions and external potentials. Those bounds are the counterparts of upper bounds derived by Leggett. Rings with odd (even) numbers of polarized electrons are always diamagnetic (paramagnetic). We show that unpolarized electrons with N being a multiple of four exhibit either paramagnetic behavior or a superconductorlike current-phase relation.

Sentiment analysis has become a difficult and important task in the current world. Because of several features of data, including abbreviations, length of tweet, and spelling error, there should be some other non-conventional methods to achieve the accurate results and overcome the current issue. In other words, because of those issues, conventional approaches cannot perform well and accomplish results with high efficiency.

Background: Paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal chromaffin cells, with mediastinal paragangliomas representing an exceptionally rare subset. This report details the surgical management of a complex mediastinal paraganglioma case, presenting with refractory hypertension and invasion of critical surrounding structures. A comprehensive review of the current literature is included to underscore existing cases, enhance clinical awareness, and share our insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this challenging condition.

Despite research advances and progress in health care, schizophrenia remains a debilitating and costly disease. Onset occurs typically during youth and can lead to a relapsing and ultimately chronic course with persistent symptoms and functional impairment if not promptly and properly treated. Consequently, over time, schizophrenia causes substantial distress and disability for patients, their families and accrues to a collective burden to society.
