Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic and lifelong disease that incurs a huge burden to healthcare systems. Its prevalence is on the rise worldwide. Diabetes is more complex than the classification of Type 1 and 2 may suggest. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the research studies that tried to find new sub-groups of diabetes patients by using unsupervised learning methods. The search was conducted on Pubmed and Medline databases by two independent researchers. All time publications on cluster analysis of diabetes patients were selected and analysed. Among fourteen studies that were included in the final review, five studies found five identical clusters: Severe Autoimmune Diabetes; Severe Insulin-Deficient Diabetes; Severe Insulin-Resistant Diabetes; Mild Obesity-Related Diabetes; and Mild Age-Related Diabetes. In addition, two studies found the same clusters, except Severe Autoimmune Diabetes cluster. Results of other studies differed from one to another and were less consistent. Cluster analysis enabled finding non-classic heterogeneity in diabetes, but there is still a necessity to explore and validate the capabilities of cluster analysis in more diverse and wider populations.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an emerging, highly contagious transboundary disease of bovines caused by the Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), responsible for substantial economic losses to the dairy, meat, and leather industries in Pakistan as well as various countries around the world. Epidemiological information on LSD is scarce in Punjab, Pakistan. Therefore, a molecular epidemiological study was conducted in two agro-ecologically diverse districts (Bhakkar and Jhang) of Punjab, Pakistan.

Clarifying the inceptive pathophysiology of hypertensive heart disease helps to impede the disease progression. Through coarctation of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (AA), we induced hypertension in minipigs and evaluated physiological reactions and morpho-functional changes of the heart. Moderate aortic coarctation was achieved with approximately 30 mmHg systolic pressure gradient in minipigs.

Objective: The effects of sex hormones remain largely unexplored in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).

Methods: We evaluated the effects of estradiol, progesterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and testosterone on human patient-derived PPGL/GEP-NET primary culture cell viability (n = 38/n = 12), performed next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical hormone receptor analysis in patient-derived PPGL tumor tissues (n = 36).

Results: In PPGLs, estradiol and progesterone (1 µm) demonstrated overall significant antitumor effects with the strongest efficacy in PPGLs with NF1 (cluster 2) pathogenic variants.

Background: The accurate deciphering of spatial domains, along with the identification of differentially expressed genes and the inference of cellular trajectory based on spatial transcriptomic (ST) data, holds significant potential for enhancing our understanding of tissue organization and biological functions. However, most of spatial clustering methods can neither decipher complex structures in ST data nor entirely employ features embedded in different layers.

Results: This article introduces STMSGAL, a novel framework for analyzing ST data by incorporating graph attention autoencoder and multiscale deep subspace clustering.

Nanoscale Magnetic Ordering Dynamics in a High Curie Temperature Ferromagnet.

Nano Lett

January 2025

Materials Science and Technology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1 Bethel Valley Rd, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831, United States.

Thermally driven transitions between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases are characterized by critical behavior with divergent susceptibilities, long-range correlations, and spin dynamics that can span kHz to GHz scales as the material approaches the critical temperature , but it has proven technically challenging to probe the relevant length and time scales with most conventional measurement techniques. In this study, we employ scanning nitrogen-vacancy center based magnetometry and relaxometry to reveal the critical behavior of a high- ferromagnetic oxide near its Curie temperature. Cluster analysis of the measured temperature-dependent nanoscale magnetic textures points to a 3D universality class with a correlation length that diverges near .
