Two imaging modalities based on molecular and elemental spectroscopy were used to characterize a painting by Cosimo Tura. Visible-to-near-infrared (400-1680 nm) reflectance imaging spectroscopy (RIS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging spectroscopy were employed to identify pigments and determine their spatial distribution with higher confidence than from either technique alone. For example, Mary's red robe was modeled through the distribution of an insect-derived red lake (RIS map) and lead white (XRF lead map), rather than a layer of red lake on vermilion. The RIS image cube was also used to isolate the preparatory design by mapping the reflectance spectra associated with it. In conjunction with results from an earlier RIS study (1650-2500 nm) to map and identify the binding media, a more thorough understanding was gained of the materials and techniques used in the painting.

NumSimEX: A method using EXX hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry to map the energetics of protein folding landscapes.
Protein Sci
February 2025
Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA.
Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry (HXMS) is a powerful tool to understand protein folding pathways and energetics. However, HXMS experiments to date have used exchange conditions termed EX1 or EX2 which limit the information that can be gained compared to the more general EXX exchange regime. If EXX behavior could be understood and analyzed, a single HXMS timecourse on an intact protein could fully map its folding landscape without requiring denaturation.

Background: The treatment of glioblastomas (GBM) with radiation therapy is extremely challenging due to their invasive nature and high recurrence rate within normal brain tissue.
Purpose: In this work, we present a new metric called the tumour spread (TS) map, which utilizes diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to predict the probable direction of tumour cells spread along fiber tracts. We hypothesized that the TS map could serve as a predictive tool for identifying patterns of likely recurrence in patients with GBM and, therefore, be used to modify the delivery of radiation treatment to pre-emptively target regions at high risk of tumour spread.
Oral manifestations of dengue virus infection: a scoping review for clinical dental practice.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
School of Dentistry, Catholic University of Pelotas (UCPel), Campus da Saúde, Av. Fernando Osório, 1586-Pelotas, Pelotas, RS, Brazil.
Background: Dengue virus (DENV) infection, a mosquito-borne disease, presents a significant public health challenge globally, with diverse clinical manifestations. Although oral dengue manifestations are uncommon, they can serve as crucial diagnostic indicators and impact patient management in dental practice. This scoping review aims to map the evidence on the oral manifestations associated with DENV infection and their clinical implications for dental practice.

Int J Obes (Lond)

Center for Optometry, Gansu Provincial Hospital, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Multiple meta-analyses (MAs) have demonstrated that six pharmacotherapies, including orlistat, liraglutide, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, improve weight loss and weight maintenance. However, few studies have synthesized and evaluated the quality of this evidence.
Objective: To identify the relevant MAs of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that explored the association between the six pharmacotherapies and obesity-related health outcomes and adverse events (AEs).

Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: In this study, it was planned to compare the macular ganglion cell analysis (GCA) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) of the patients with preperimetric glaucoma (PPG), early stage glaucoma (EG) and the control group.
Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 103 eyes: 38 from EG patients, 30 from PPG patients, and 35 from healthy individuals at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Glaucoma Unit between January 2018 and September 2021. Eyes were categorized into control, PPG, and EG groups based on visual field (VF) classification.
