How to Compute Density Fluctuations at the Nanoscale.

J Chem Theory Comput

December 2024

Materials Science Department, Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 263-8522, Japan.

The standard definition of particle number fluctuations based on point-like particles neglects the excluded volume effect. This leads to a large and systematic finite-size scaling and an unphysical surface term in the isothermal compressibility. We correct these errors by introducing a modified pair distribution function that takes account of the finite size of the particles.

A hybrid deep learning-based approach for optimal genotype by environment selection.

The ability to accurately predict the yields of different crop genotypes in response to weather variability is crucial for developing climate resilient crop cultivars. Genotype-environment interactions introduce large variations in crop-climate responses, and are hard to factor in to breeding programs. Data-driven approaches, particularly those based on machine learning, can help guide breeding efforts by factoring in genotype-environment interactions when making yield predictions.

 Iniencephaly is an extremely rare type of neural tube defect characterized by the fusion of the cervical and cervicothoracic vertebrae. This condition results in acute retroflexion of the head, a short neck, significant lordosis of the cervical spine, and an upturned facial appearance. This condition typically results in poor fetal outcomes, with many cases ending in stillbirth or neonatal death.

Opioid-induced respiratory depression: clinical aspects and pathophysiology of the respiratory network effects.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol

Important insights and consensus remain lacking for risk prediction of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD), reversal of respiratory depression (RD), the pathophysiology of OIRD, and which sites make the most significant contribution to its induction. The ventilatory response to inhaled carbon dioxide is the most sensitive biomarker of OIRD. To accurately predict respiratory depression (RD), a multivariant RD prospective trial using continuous capnograph and oximetry examining 5 independent variables: age ≥60, sex, opioid naivety, sleep disorders, and chronic heart failure (PRODIGY trial), was undertaken.

Background: In radioembolization therapy for hepatic malignancies, the accurate estimation of lung shunt fraction (LSF) is crucial to minimize the risk of radiation-induced pneumonitis and fibrosis due to hepatopulmonary shunting of yttrium-90 (90Y)-microspheres. This study aimed to compare the accuracy and precision of LSF estimation using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin single photon emission computed tomography ([99mTc]Tc-MAA SPECT) LSF, [99mTc]Tc-MAA planar LSF, and 90Y PET LSF in patients undergoing 90Y-radioembolization.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 15 patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases and planned to undergo transarterial radioembolization with 90Y SirSpheres after multidisplinary team discussion.
