An ab initio calculation of the 12C elastic form factor and sum rules of longitudinal and transverse response functions measured in inclusive (e, e') scattering are reported, based on realistic nuclear potentials and electromagnetic currents. The longitudinal elastic form factor and sum rule are found to be in satisfactory agreement with available experimental data. A direct comparison between theory and experiment is difficult for the transverse sum rule. However, it is shown that the calculated transverse sum rule has large contributions from two-body currents, indicating that these mechanisms lead to a significant enhancement of the quasielastic transverse response. This fact may have implications for the anomaly observed in recent neutrino quasielastic charge-changing scattering experiments on 12C.

The introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the 1990s revolutionized diagnostic ophthalmic imaging. Initially, OCT's role was primarily in the adult ambulatory ophthalmic clinics. Subsequent advances in handheld form factors, integration into surgical microscopes, and robotic assistance have expanded OCT's utility and impact outside of its initial environment in the adult outpatient ophthalmic clinic.

Biomolecular condensation lays the foundation of forming biologically important membraneless organelles, but abnormal condensation processes are often associated with human diseases. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays a critical role in the formation of biomolecular condensates by mediating the phase transition through its interactions with proteins and other RNAs. However, the physicochemical principles governing RNA phase transitions, especially for short RNAs, remain inadequately understood.

Background: Classical-like Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 1 (clEDS1) is a very rare form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) caused by tenascin-X (TNX) deficiency, with only 56 individuals reported. TNX is an extracellular matrix protein needed for collagen stability. Previous publications propose that individuals with clEDS1 might be at risk for gastrointestinal (GI) tract perforations and/or tracheal ruptures.

Background: Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare and serious form of systemic necrotizing vasculitis that predominantly affects medium and small-sized arteries, with central nervous system involvement being particularly uncommon. Treatment strategies are tailored according to the extent and severity of the disease. While conventional therapy includes glucocorticoids and conventional disease-modifying-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs), biologic agents may be critical for severe and refractory cases.

Background Health literacy (HL) refers to the ability of individuals to find, understand, and use information and resources to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Managing chronic diseases in children and adolescents requires active family involvement. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the HL levels of parents of children diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
