²¹⁰Pb dating provides a valuable, widely used means of establishing recent chronologies for sediments and other accumulating natural deposits. The Constant Rate of Supply (CRS) model is the most versatile and widely used method for establishing ²¹⁰Pb chronologies but, when using this model, care must be taken to account for limitations imposed by sampling and analytical factors. In particular, incompatibility of finite values for empirical data, which are constrained by detection limit and core length, with terms in the age calculation, which represent integrations to infinity, can generate erroneously old ages for deeper sections of cores. The bias in calculated ages increases with poorer limit of detection and the magnitude of the disparity increases with age. The origin and magnitude of this effect are considered below, firstly for an idealized, theoretical ²¹⁰Pb profile and secondly for a freshwater lake sediment core. A brief consideration is presented of the implications of this potential artefact for sampling and analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effects of long non-coding RNA-ANRIL on CDKN2A in the cell cycle of Kasumi-1 cells and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: ANRIL and CDKN2A expression levels were quantified using RT-qPCR in peripheral blood samples from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. CDKN2A knockdown efficiency was validated via RT-qPCR, and cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry.

Background: Alirocumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 used for the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in high-risk patients not reaching their LDL-C target. Recently, a 2-mL prefilled autoinjector has been developed to support the monthly 300-mg dosing regimen with a single-injection administration.
Methods And Objectives: Monthly application of 300 mg AlirRocumab (Praluent) using the 2-mL SYDNEY Device (MARS) is a non-interventional, open, prospective, multi-center cohort study conducted in Germany between 2021 and 2023 with an observational period of 12 weeks.

Background: Over 60 million patients in the USA have limited English proficiency (LEP) and experience barriers in care. Still, there exists no standardized method of monitoring the utilization of language interpreting services (LIS).
Objective: To introduce a methodological approach to systematically monitor utilization of LIS for LEP patients.

Technology advances lead to a high prevalence of cyber dating abuse among youth. Previous studies had demonstrated its detrimental outcomes and predictors, but neglected the characters in Eastern countries. Therefore, exploring the comprehensive mechanisms of cyber dating abuse in different cultures and mitigating it are necessary.
