Fluorescence detection of DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) is a very efficient strategy to assess not only the existence and prevalence of cellular G4s but also their relevance as targets for therapeutic interventions. Among the fluorophores used to this end, turn-on probes are the most interesting since their fluorescence is triggered only upon interaction with their G4 targets, which ensures a high sensitivity and selectivity of detection. We reported on a series of twice-as-smart G4 probes, which are both smart G4 ligands (whose structure is reorganized upon interaction with G4s) and smart fluorescent probes (whose fluorescence is turned on upon interaction with G4s).

Importance: Issues related to social connection are increasingly recognized as a global public health priority. However, there is a lack of a holistic understanding of social connection and its health impacts given that most empirical research focuses on a single or few individual concepts of social connection.
Objective: To explore patterns of social connection and their associations with health and well-being outcomes.
Importance: Little is known about the spatial accessibility to dental clinics across the US.
Objective: To map the spatial accessibility of dental clinics nationally and to examine the characteristics of counties and US Census block groups with dental care shortage areas.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Cross-sectional study of US dental clinics in 2023 using data from the IQVIA national practitioners' database, which includes 205 762 active dentists.

Importance: Although cumulative evidence suggests that higher blood pressure (BP) and a greater burden of social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, few studies have examined whether SDOH burden modifies the association between BP and stroke risk.
Objective: To evaluate whether the association between BP classification and stroke risk differs by SDOH burden among Chinese adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cohort study, analyses were conducted among 90 850 participants in the prospective subcohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Million Persons Project, with recruitment from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020.

Purpose/background: Clozapine is the recommended drug for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Drug response could be affected by numerous factors such as age, sex, body mass index, co-medication, consumption of xanthine-containing beverages, smoking, and genetic variants of the enzymes involved in clozapine metabolism (CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and, to a lesser extent, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6). This study evaluated genetic and nongenetic variables that may affect clozapine plasma concentrations in Uruguayan patients with schizophrenia.
