The unique properties of topological semimetals have strongly driven efforts to seek for new topological phases and related materials. Here, we identify a critical condition for the existence of intersecting nodal rings (INRs) in symmorphic crystals, and further classify all possible kinds of INRs which can be obtained in the layered semiconductors with Amm2 and Cmmm space group symmetries. Several honeycomb structures are suggested to be topological INR semimetals, including layered and "hidden" layered structures. Transitions between the three types of INRs, named as α, β, and γ type, can be driven by external strains in these structures. The resulting surface states and Landau-level structures, more complicated than those resulting from a simple nodal loop, are also discussed.

Background: Limbic structures have recently garnered increased attention in Parkinson's disease (PD) research. This study aims to explore changes at the whole-brain level in the structural network, specifically the white matter fibres connecting the thalamus and limbic system, and their correlation with the clinical characteristics of patients with PD.
Methods: Between December 2020 and November 2021, we prospectively enrolled 42 patients with PD and healthy controls at the movement disorder centre.

Introduction: Limited observational windows lead to conflicting results in studies examining educational differences in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) risk, due to observational window bias relative to onset of accelerated cognitive decline. This study tested a novel model to address observational window bias and tested for the presence and sources of disparities in accelerated cognitive declines due to ADRD.
Methods: The sample examined 167,314 cognitive assessments from 32,441 Health and Retirement Study participants.
Electronic phase transition in bilayer 6 borophene.

In this study, using the tight-binding model and Green's function technique, we investigate potential electronic phase transitions in bilayer 6 borophene under the influence of external stimuli, including a perpendicular electric field, electron-hole coupling between sublayers (excitonic effects), and dopants. Our focus is on key electronic properties such as the band structure and density of states. Our findings reveal that the pristine lattice is metal with Dirac cones around the Fermi level, where their intersection forms a nodal line.

- BRASH syndrome is a rare medical condition marked by bradycardia, renal failure, AV block, shock, and hyperkalemia, and its complexities increase when accompanied by COVID-19 and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
- A patient with BRASH syndrome showed severe persistent bradycardia that did not respond to dopamine but improved after a transvenous pacemaker was placed and hemodialysis was administered, normalizing potassium levels.
- This case highlights the importance of recognizing BRASH syndrome early, particularly in the context of COVID-19, as understanding its underlying mechanisms can lead to better patient outcomes, necessitating further research.

Building a scientific and reasonable ecological network is the key for optimizing the pattern of territorial development and protection, and is of great significance for ensuring regional ecological security and promoting the virtuous cycle of ecosystems. In previous studies, nodal attack method (destruction of ecological source area) was often used in the "robustness" evaluation of ecological networks. Actually, the ecological corridor is more fragile than the source area, and thus the nodal attack method is not reasonable.
