The resolution of digital lock-in amplifiers working with a narrow bandwidth (<100 Hz) is limited by slow fluctuations, which can be two orders of magnitude larger (μV range) than the noise of the input amplifier (tens of nV). In order to tackle this issue, affecting state-of-the-art laboratory instrumentation and here systematically quantified, three differential sensing configurations are presented. They adapt to different setup conditions and are based on manual and automatic tuning of dummy references, allowing a 25-fold resolution improvement for enhanced long-term tracking of impedance sensors.

DNA methylation plays a critical role in gene regulation, affecting cellular differentiation and disease progression, particularly in non-coding regions. However, predicting the epigenetic consequences of non-coding mutations at single-cell resolution remains a challenge. Existing tools have limited prediction capacity and struggle to capture dynamic, cell-type-specific regulatory changes that are crucial for understanding disease mechanisms.

Background: The increasing availability of electronic health system data and remotely-sensed environmental variables has led to the emergence of statistical models capable of producing malaria forecasts. Many of these models have been operationalized into malaria early warning systems (MEWSs), which provide predictions of malaria dynamics several months in advance at national and regional levels. However, MEWSs rarely produce predictions at the village-level, the operational scale of community health systems and the first point of contact for the majority of rural populations in malaria-endemic countries.

In the last decades, natural and anthropogenic pressures have caused observable changes in the argan landscape despite its significance in Morocco. Remote sensing data can be used to monitor these changes over time and provide information on vegetation health and land cover changes. This study assesses the performance of supervised methods (support vector machine, maximum likelihood, and minimum distance) and unsupervised classification method (Isodata) for mapping the argan forest in the Smimou area of Essaouira province using remote sensing data from Landsat-5 and Landsat-8 (1985 and 2019).

Regardless of the underlying etiology and success of PE, progressive liver fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis represent the dominant pathology and the end-stage of BA. Ascending bile duct injury-induced cholestasis, inflammation and ductular reaction provide profibrogenic cytokine environment leading to myofibroblast activation and rapid progression of fibrosis especially after unsuccessful portoenterostomy. Although liver fibrosis and development of cirrhosis play a crucial role in determining BA outcomes, the exact prognostic significance and dynamics of mild to moderate liver fibrosis remain unclear.

Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) sparked significant health concerns worldwide, prompting policy makers and health care experts to implement nonpharmaceutical public health interventions, such as stay-at-home orders and mask mandates, to slow the spread of the virus. While these interventions proved essential in controlling transmission, they also caused substantial economic and societal costs and should therefore be used strategically, particularly when disease activity is on the rise. In this context, geosocial media posts (posts with an explicit georeference) have been shown to provide a promising tool for anticipating moments of potential health care crises.
