Using previously established procedures that utilise linear free energy relationships, we estimated binding constants for the Windermere Humic Aqueous Model VII (WHAM/Model VII) for several radionuclide cations (Pd(2+), Sn(2+), U(4+), NpO(2)(2+), Pu(4+) and PuO(2)(2+)). This extends the number of cations that can be calculated with the model above the 40 included in the original Model VII work. When combined with equilibrium constants for inorganic species this allows the calculation of equilibrium distributions of chemical species under a wide range of conditions.

A significant area of computer science called artificial intelligence (AI) is successfully applied to the analysis of intricate biological data and the extraction of substantial associations from datasets for a variety of biomedical uses. AI has attracted significant interest in biomedical research due to its features: (i) better patient care through early diagnosis and detection; (ii) enhanced workflow; (iii) lowering medical errors; (v) lowering medical costs; (vi) reducing morbidity and mortality; (vii) enhancing performance; (viii) enhancing precision; and (ix) time efficiency. Quantitative metrics are crucial for evaluating AI implementations, providing insights, enabling informed decisions, and measuring the impact of AI-driven initiatives, thereby enhancing transparency, accountability, and overall impact.

Introduction: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) respond differently to first-line chemotherapy. Early identification of patients with limited or no clinical benefit could prompt a timelier introduction of second-line therapy and potentially lead to improved overall outcomes. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is currently the only blood-based marker in clinical use for disease control monitoring in mCRC.

Objective: To investigate the clinical phenotype and molecular pathogenic mechanism of a hereditary coagulation factor V deficiency (FⅤD) family.
Methods: A phase I assay was used to measure coagulation factors II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, Ⅺ, Ⅻ (FⅡ∶C, FⅤ∶C, FⅦ∶C, FⅧ∶C, FⅨ∶C, FⅩ∶C, FⅪ∶C, FⅫ∶C), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) to determine the clinical phenotype and molecular pathogenesis of F VD. Prothrombin time (PT) were used for phenotypic identification; high-throughput exome sequencing was applied to screen the whole gene variants, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the suspected variants in gene; MutationTaster, PolyPhen-2 bioinformatics software was used to predict the pathogenicity of the variants, ClustalX software was used to analyze the amino acid conservatism, and PyMol software was used to simulate the model of the mutant protein.

Granulomas, organized aggregates of immune cells which form in response to (), are characteristic but not exclusive of tuberculosis (TB). Despite existing investigations on TB granulomas, the determinants that differentiate host-protective granulomas from granulomas that contribute to TB pathogenesis are often disputed. Thus, the goal of this narrative review is to help clarify the existing literature on such determinants.

Research on how plants respond to hypoxia has concentrated on model organisms where tissues can only survive hypoxic conditions for a few hours to a few days. In contrast, hypoxic conditions are used commercially as a method to prolong the shelf life of (apple) fruit for up to a year of storage without substantial changes in fruit quality, not to mention a lack of tissue death. This ability of apples to withstand protracted hypoxic conditions is an interesting adaptation that has had limited molecular investigation despite its economic importance.
