The computational capabilities of neuronal networks are fundamentally constrained by their specific connectivity. Previous studies of cortical connectivity have mostly been carried out in rodents; whether the principles established therein also apply to the evolutionarily expanded human cortex is unclear. We studied network properties within the human temporal cortex using samples obtained from brain surgery. We analyzed multineuron patch-clamp recordings in layer 2-3 pyramidal neurons and identified substantial differences compared with rodents. Reciprocity showed random distribution, synaptic strength was independent from connection probability, and connectivity of the supragranular temporal cortex followed a directed and mostly acyclic graph topology. Application of these principles in neuronal models increased dimensionality of network dynamics, suggesting a critical role for cortical computation.

Outdoor nitrogen dioxide exposure and longitudinal health status trajectory in the Canadian National Population Health Survey.

Few studies have examined the association between air pollution and the trajectory of global health status measures related to the functional impacts of chronic disease. To address this gap, we examined the trajectory of the Health Utilities Index (HUI) over 17 years of follow-up among Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS) participants. Annual average nitrogen dioxide (NO) exposures from a national land use regression surface were mapped to 15,631 NPHS participants at their place of residence provided at each follow-up.

Introduction: Dynamic Bayesian networks improve the modeling of complex systems by incorporating continuous probabilistic relationships between covariates that change over time. This study aimed to analyze the complex causal links contributing to child undernutrition using dynamic Bayesian network modeling, examining both the best- and worst-case scenarios. The Young Cohort of the Ethiopian Young Lives dataset from 2002-2016 was used to analyze the complex relationships among various covariates influencing child undernutrition.

Department of Preventive Medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Mammographic breast density has been suggested to play a role as a mediator between the risk factors for breast cancer (BC) and BC risk. We investigated the extent to which never breastfeeding is a risk factor for BC and how this risk is further mediated by increased mammographic breast density.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 4 136 723 women aged ≥40 years who underwent mammographic screening between 2009 and 2010 and were followed up until 31 December 2020.
Do physical or imaging changes explain the effectiveness of progressive tendon loading exercises? A causal mediation analysis of athletes with patellar tendinopathy.

Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Erasmus MC University Medical Center, the Netherlands.
Objectives: To investigate whether the effectiveness of progressive tendon loading exercises (PTLE) on patellar tendinopathy is mediated through changes in physical or imaging properties.
Design: Mediation analyses based on a randomized clinical trial (n = 76) in patellar tendinopathy comparing PTLE with eccentric exercise therapy (EET).
Methods: Pain-related disability on Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Patella (VISA-P, 0 to 100) and pain (Visual Analogue Score) after single-leg decline squat (VAS-SLDS, 0 to 10) at 24 weeks were outcome measures.
Distributed K-Means algorithm based on a Spark optimization sample.
PLoS One
December 2024
Liaoning Technical University, Huludao, China.
To address the instability and performance issues of the classical K-Means algorithm when dealing with massive datasets, we propose SOSK-Means, an improved K-Means algorithm based on Spark optimization. SOSK-Means incorporates several key modifications to enhance the clustering process.Firstly, a weighted jump-bank approach is introduced to enable efficient random sampling and preclustering.
