We propose a framework to evaluate the information content of different stimulation strategies used in neuroprosthetic implants. We analyze the responses of retinal ganglion cells to electrical stimulation using an information theory framework. This methodology allows us to calculate the information content by looking at the consistency of neural responses generated across multiple repetitions of the same stimulation protocol.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes improved septic lung injury by reducing excessive NETs formation and alleviating inflammatory response.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)

Department of Pediatrics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zheiiang, China.
To illustrate the potential of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) in mitigating septic lung injury by reducing the excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a mouse model of septic lung injury was induced through cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The mice received intraperitoneal injections of MSC-Exos. Post injection, pathological alterations of the lung tissue were evaluated through HE staining, and the levels of inflammatory markers in each mouse group at various time points were assessed using ELISA kits.

Pulpitis seriously affects people's living standards and dental health, so identifying effective therapeutic targets is crucial for pulpitis. The research aimed to explore the underlying regulatory mechanism of LINC01094 and miR-340-5p in pulpitis. The study involved a total of 173 subjects (97 pulpitis and 76 healthy individuals).

Purpose: To investigate the validity and reliability of the Londrina ADL Protocol in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).
Methods: The study included 39 individuals with SSc and 30 healthy participants aged 18-70 years. Performance-related ADL assessment was performed with the Londrina ADL Protocol which was performed twice by the same rater and energy expenditure during the test with the Dynaport Move Monitor device.
Genomic prediction for yield and malting traits in barley using metabolomic and near-infrared spectra.

Genetic variation for malting quality as well as metabolomic and near-infrared features was identified. However, metabolomic and near-infrared features as additional omics-information did not improve accuracy of predicted breeding values. Significant attention has recently been given to the potential benefits of metabolomics and near-infrared spectroscopy technologies for enhancing genetic evaluation in breeding programs.

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the gold standard management for patients who present with common bile duct stone (CBDS). Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is generally recommended for patients who have CBDS clearance, there is still a significant proportion of patients who are managed expectantly. Our study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of expectant management (EM) versus prophylactic cholecystectomy after initial endoscopic removal of CBDS.
