Background: Inflammation is increasingly recognised as a treatment target in hand osteoarthritis, and therefore correct measurement of local inflammation is essential. This study aimed to assess ultrasound scoring of synovitis and the additional value of the Global OMERACT/EULAR Ultrasound Synovitis Score (GLOESS) in hand osteoarthritis.
Methods: Data from the randomised, double-blinded Hand Osteoarthritis Prednisolone Efficacy (HOPE) trial were used.

Context: Hydrogen storage in porous nanostructured compounds have recently attracted a lot of attention due to the fact that the underlying adsorption mechanism and thermodynamics provide suitable platform for room temperature adsorption and desorption of H molecules. This work reports the findings of a study on the reversible hydrogen storage capacities of Sc and Y decorated C fullerene, conducted using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The transition metal (TM) atoms, such as Sc and Y, are identified to attach to the C-C bridge position of the C fullerene through non-covalent closed-shell interactions.

Objective: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at risk (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.
Materials And Methods: We compare a multi-organ segmentation approach and the fusion of multiple single-organ models, each dedicated to one OAR. All were trained using nnU-Net with the default parameters and the full-resolution configuration.

The amber-OL21 force field (ff) was developed to better describe noncanonical DNA, including Z-DNA. Despite its improvements for DNA simulations, this study found that OL21's scope of application was limited by embedded ff artifacts. In a benchmark set of seven DNA molecules, including two double-stranded DNAs transitioning between B- and Z-DNA and five single-stranded DNAs folding into mini-dumbbell or G-quadruplex structures, the free energy landscapes obtained using OL21 revealed several issues: Z-DNA was overly stabilized; misfolded states in mini-dumbbell DNAs were most stable; DNA GQ folding was consistently biased toward an antiparallel topology.

Objectives: This study aims to validate and assess the reliability of the Arabic version of the Voice Handicap Index-Throat (VHI-T), as a self-reported questionnaire for patients with throat difficulties.
Study Design: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was performed in the ear, nose, and throat department of Kafr El-Sheikh University hospitals from October 2023 to July 2024.
Methods: The preliminary VHI-T was obtained through forward and backward translation.
