Department of Radiology, Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA USA.

Despite the evident benefits of spectral computed tomography (CT) in delivering qualitative imaging superior to that of conventional CT in adults, its application in pediatric diagnostic imaging is still relatively limited due to various reasons, including design limitations and radiation dose considerations. The use of specialized K-edge filters, in conjunction with other spectral technologies, has been demonstrated to improve spectral quantification accuracy. X-ray flux limitations generally pose challenges in these concepts when applied to adults.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting from the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), affects various bodily systems, including the heart, central nervous system, muscles, and bones, all of which harbor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptors similar to those in the respiratory system. However, research on the inflammatory response and its impact on systems such as the musculoskeletal one is relatively scarce. Our study aimed to investigate bone and muscle metrics as well as handgrip strength in individuals who recuperated from COVID-19 infection.

Heparin (HEP) is one of the oldest anticoagulant drugs, widely used in clinical settings, particularly in surgery and dialysis machines. Despite its long history, it remains extensively employed in medical practice. This study introduces a selective and cost-effective method for the rapid detection of HEP using red-emission carbon dots (R-CDs).

The antifungal targets of the new fungicide -(naphthalen-1-yl)-phenazine-1-carboxamide (NNPCN) are still incomplete, limiting its application. To identify potential new targets of NNPCN and facilitate target hunting, a suite of techniques was employed to conduct experiments on . Nine potential targets were identified, exhibiting strong binding affinity to NNPCN, as indicated by binding free energies below -100.

Mass spectrometry is a cornerstone of quantitative proteomics, enabling relative protein quantification and differential expression analysis () of proteins. As experiments grow in complexity, involving more samples, groups, and identified proteins, interactive differential expression analysis tools become impractical. The addresses this challenge by providing a command-line interface that simplifies , making it accessible to nonprogrammers and seamlessly integrating it into workflow management systems.
