We present measurements of bias triangles in several biasing configurations. Using a capacitive model and two fit parameters we are able to predict the shapes and locations of the bias triangles in all measurement configurations. Furthermore, analysis of the data using this model allows us to present data from all four possible bias configurations on a single plot in chemical potential space. This presentation allows comparison between different biasing directions to be made in a clean and straightforward manner. Our analysis and presentation will prove useful in demonstrations of Pauli-spin blockade where comparisons between different biasing directions are paramount. The long term stability of the CMOS compatible Si/SiO2 only architecture leads to the success of this analysis. We also propose a simple variation to this analysis that will extend its use to systems lacking the long term stability of these devices.

Human hands have over 20 degrees of freedom, enabled by a complex system of bones, muscles, and joints. Hand differences can significantly impair dexterity and independence in daily activities. Accurate assessment of hand function, particularly digit movement, is vital for effective intervention and rehabilitation.

Fluoride Exposure and Children's IQ Scores: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

JAMA Pediatr

January 2025

Division of Translational Toxicology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Importance: Previous meta-analyses suggest that fluoride exposure is adversely associated with children's IQ scores. An individual's total fluoride exposure comes primarily from fluoride in drinking water, food, and beverages.

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies investigating children's IQ scores and prenatal or postnatal fluoride exposure.

Most neurons are influenced by multiple neuromodulatory inputs that converge on common effectors. Mechanisms that route these signals are key to selective neuromodulation but are poorly understood. G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K (GIRK or Kir3) channels mediate postsynaptic inhibition evoked by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that signal via inhibitory G proteins.

Article Synopsis
  • The JAVELIN Bladder 100 trial demonstrated that avelumab, used as a first-line maintenance therapy, improves overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma after platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • The PATRIOT-II study analyzed real-world outcomes of avelumab in 160 patients across various healthcare centers, emphasizing survival, safety, and resource use over a median follow-up of 16 months.
  • Findings indicated a median progression-free survival of 5.4 months and overall survival of 24.4 months, with some patients experiencing treatment-related adverse effects, supporting the continued use of avelumab in similar patient populations.

: The insertion of chest drains (CD) in trauma patients is a lifesaving, albeit high-risk intervention. Safe insertion of CD in settings where aids like ultrasound are not available relies on a landmark technique defining the so-called triangle of safety. The inferior margin of this triangle is identified by nipple height, which is thought to correspond to the fifth intercostal space (ICS).
