Background: The resolution of a model describing the electrical activity of neural tissue and its propagation within this tissue is highly consuming in term of computing time and requires strong computing power to achieve good results.
New Method: In this study, we present a method to solve a model describing the electrical propagation in neuronal tissue, using parareal algorithm, coupling with parallelization space using CUDA in graphical processing unit (GPU).
Results: We applied the method of resolution to different dimensions of the geometry of our model (1-D, 2-D and 3-D). The GPU results are compared with simulations from a multi-core processor cluster, using message-passing interface (MPI), where the spatial scale was parallelized in order to reach a comparable calculation time than that of the presented method using GPU. A gain of a factor 100 in term of computational time between sequential results and those obtained using the GPU has been obtained, in the case of 3-D geometry. Given the structure of the GPU, this factor increases according to the fineness of the geometry used in the computation.
Comparison With Existing Method(s): To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time such a method is used, even in the case of neuroscience.
Conclusion: Parallelization time coupled with GPU parallelization space allows for drastically reducing computational time with a fine resolution of the model describing the propagation of the electrical signal in a neuronal tissue.

Purpose: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Several prediction models have been proposed to predict PH in ILD patients. We sought to discern how previously described prediction models perform in predicting PH in patients with ILD.

Intermediate care (IC) is prevalent nationwide, but little is known about how to best organize this level of care. Using a 99-item cross-sectional survey assessing four domains (hospital and physical IC features, provider and nurse staffing, monitoring, and interventions/services), we describe the organizational heterogeneity of IC within a five-hospital healthcare system. Surveys were completed by nurse managers from 12 (86%) of 14 IC settings.

Psychiatric and existential distress are common and difficult-to-treat symptoms that are frequently encountered in the palliative care setting; current treatment options are limited in efficacy and tolerability. Psychedelic-assisted therapies (PAT) have gained public and scientific interest in their potential to induce rapid and effective reductions in psychiatric and existential distress in patients with serious medical illness, but remain available only in the research setting. Ketamine as a pharmacologic agent has a large body of evidence in the treatment of refractory depression.

Biochemistry textbooks describe eukaryotic mRNAs as monocistronic. However, increasing evidence reveals the widespread presence and translation of upstream open reading frames preceding the "main" ORF. DNA and RNA viruses infecting eukaryotes often produce polycistronic mRNAs and viruses have evolved multiple ways of manipulating the host's translation machinery.
