This article is a plain language summary of publication (PLSP) of the following article: Design of a phase 3, global, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of nipocalimab in pregnancies at risk for severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn by Komatsu et al published in on September 17, 2024 (doi:10.1055/a-2404-8089). This PLSP describes the design of the phase 3 AZALEA clinical trial in pregnant participants at risk for developing severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). In this study, researchers will determine if an investigational treatment called nipocalimab can be used safely and effectively to treat pregnant individuals who are at risk for severe HDFN. This PLSP will help members of the public, including individuals and families affected by HDFN, understand the study. It may also be helpful for health care professionals. An infographic summary of this article is available in the Supplementary Material. · Severe HDFN causes serious health issues for babies. · IUTs carry risks of complications and fetal loss. · Nipocalimab reduces fetal anemia and IUTs in HDFN. · AZALEA is testing nipocalimab for severe HDFN.

The efficient removal of CO from exhaust streams and even directly from air is necessary to forestall climate change, lending urgency to the search for new materials that can rapidly capture CO at high capacity. The recent discovery that diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks can exhibit cooperative CO uptake via the formation of ammonium carbamate chains begs the question of whether simple organic polyamine molecules could be designed to achieve a similar switch-like behavior with even higher separation capacities. Here, we present a solid molecular triamine, 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene (TriH), that rapidly captures large quantities of CO upon exposure to humid air to form the porous, crystalline, ammonium carbamate network solid TriH(CO)·HO (TriHCO).

Topologically reconfigurable nematic emulsions.

In emulsions of multicomponent fluids, the dispersed phase forms tiny droplets in the continuous phase. In situ control and manipulation to achieve diversity in emulsion droplets for emerging applications is challenging. In a liquid crystal-based emulsion, the surface anchoring of the molecules at the isotropic fluid-liquid crystal interface introduces elastic distortions that result in anisotropic interparticle interactions, similar to electrostatic interactions between multipoles, which also lends a naming analogy as elastic dipoles, quadrupoles, and higher.

High-performance radiation-resistant lubricating materials (RRLMs) with nanostructures hold great promise for enhancing the irradiation tolerance because of their sinking effect of boundaries on defects. Despite recent advances, challenges remain in finding a nanostructure that exhibits both superior irradiation tolerance and excellent lubricant properties. Unlike traditional nanostructured composite materials that required complex predesign, herein, a MoS nanocrystals (NCs)/amorphous dual phase in subirradiation saturation (SIS) state was spontaneously formed during irradiation, exhibiting high irradiation resistance under the synergistic effect of "defect traps" by interfaces and edge dislocation.

The detection of cardiac phase in ultrasound videos, identifying end-systolic (ES) and end-diastolic (ED) frames, is a critical step in assessing cardiac function, monitoring structural changes, and diagnosing congenital heart disease. Current popular methods use recurrent neu ral networks to track dependencies over long sequences for cardiac phase detection, but often overlook the short-term motion of cardiac valves that sonographers rely on. In this paper, we propose a novel optical flow-enhanced Mamba U-net framework, designed to utilize both short-term motion and long-term dependencies to detect the cardiac phase in ultrasound videos.
