The formation and characterization of K and Cs complexes originating from the cooperativity of three non-covalent interactions is explored. The tridimensional preorganization of the naphthothiophene platform displays a favorable well-defined bay region combining a π fragment and a carbonyl moiety flanking a central sulfur atom. A joint theoretical and experimental infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) study allowed deciphering the key contribution of the orthogonal phenyl fragment to the elaboration of alkali metal complexes. In combination with S and CO interactions, the π-cation interaction significantly enhances the binding energies of naphthothiophene derivatives.

Interplay of Electronic Orders in Topological Quantum Materials.

ACS Mater Au

January 2025

Center for Advanced Materials Research, Research Institute of Sciences and Engineering, University of Sharjah, Sharjah 27272, United Arab Emirates.

Topological quantum materials hold great promise for future technological applications. Their unique electronic properties, such as protected surface states and exotic quasi-particles, offer opportunities for designing novel electronic and spintronics devices and allow quantum information processing. The origin of the interplay between various electronic orders in topological quantum materials, such as superconductivity and magnetism, remains unclear, particularly whether these electronic orders cooperate, compete, or simply coexist.

Background: EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Nevertheless, the samples obtained are small and require expertise in pathology, whereas the diagnosis is difficult in view of the scarcity of malignant cells and the important desmoplastic reaction of these tumors. With the help of artificial intelligence, the deep learning architectures produce a fast, accurate, and automated approach for PDAC image segmentation based on whole-slide imaging.

Symmetric deformable registration of multimodal brain magnetic resonance images via appearance residuals.

Comput Methods Programs Biomed

January 2025

Department of Radiology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, USA. Electronic address:

Background And Objective: Deformable registration of multimodal brain magnetic resonance images presents significant challenges, primarily due to substantial structural variations between subjects and pronounced differences in appearance across imaging modalities.

Methods: Here, we propose to symmetrically register images from two modalities based on appearance residuals from one modality to another. Computed with simple subtraction between modalities, the appearance residuals enhance structural details and form a common representation for simplifying multimodal deformable registration.

Risk of intrafascicular spread after deliberate ex vivo intraneural injections of brachial plexus nerve roots.

Br J Anaesth

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, FL, USA; CEU-San-Pablo University School of Medicine, Madrid, Spain; Department of Anesthesiology, Madrid-Montepríncipe University Hospital, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

Background: We investigated the intraneural spread of injected fluid in brachial plexus nerve roots, examining the potential for intrafascicular spread and identifying influencing factors.

Methods: Twelve deliberate ultrasound-guided intraneural injections were performed at the ventral rami of the brachial plexus nerve roots at their exits from the neuroforamina in six fresh, unembalmed, cryopreserved human cadavers. A 22-G, 30-degree bevel echogenic regional anaesthesia needle was used.

Left-Right Brain-Wide Asymmetry of Neuroanatomy in the Mouse Brain.

Neuroimage

January 2025

Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA; Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:

Left-right asymmetry of the human brain is widespread through its anatomy and function. However, limited microscopic understanding of it exists, particularly for anatomical asymmetry where there are few well-established animal models. In humans, most brain regions show subtle, population-average regional asymmetries in thickness or surface area, alongside a macro-scale twisting called the cerebral petalia in which the right hemisphere protrudes anteriorly past the left.
