Prospecting the theragnostic potential of the psycho-neuro-endocrinological perturbation of the gut-brain-immune axis for improving cardiovascular diseases outcomes.

Biological derivatives and their effective influence on psychological parameters are increasingly being deciphered to better understand body-mind perspectives in health. Recent evidence suggests that the gut-brain immune axis is an attractive theragnostic target due to its innate capacity to excite the immune system by activating monocyte exosomes. These exosomes induce spontaneous alterations in the microRNAs within the brain endothelial cells, resulting in an acute inflammatory response with physiological and psychological sequelae, evidenced by anxiety and depression.

Efficient electrochemical hydrogen evolution activity of nanostructured AgPO/MoS heterogeneous composite catalyst.

Hydrogen (H) generation by electrochemical water splitting is a key technique for sustainable energy applications. Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (MoS) and silver phosphate (AgPO) possess excellent electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties when they are combined together as a composite rather than individuals. Reports examining the HER activity by using AgPO, especially, in combination with the 2D layered MoS are limited in literature.

Copper Isotope Compositions Measured Using a Sapphire Dual Path MC-ICPMS with a Collision/Reaction Cell.

We present a new approach to Cu isotopic measurements using a state-of-the-art Nu Sapphire multicollector inductively coupled plasma source mass spectrometer equipped with a collision/reaction cell (CRC-MC-ICPMS). We investigate the effects of Na doping and Cu concentration mismatch between bracketing standard and unknown samples and demonstrate the efficacy of introducing a He-H gas mix into the CRC to efficiently eliminate the sample matrix-based ArNa isobaric interference on Cu. This capability is crucial when measuring samples with high Na/Cu ratios, such as some biological samples, which have significantly different chemical compositions compared to most geological samples.

Secure and privacy-preserving automated machine learning operations into end-to-end integrated IoT-edge-artificial intelligence-blockchain monitoring system for diabetes mellitus prediction.

Diabetes Mellitus, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, has no cure to date and can lead to severe health complications, such as retinopathy, limb amputation, cardiovascular diseases, and neuronal disease, if left untreated. Consequently, it becomes crucial to be able to monitor and predict the incidence of diabetes. Machine learning approaches have been proposed and evaluated in the literature for diabetes prediction.

Attention, sentiments and emotions towards emerging climate technologies on Twitter.

Public perception of emerging climate technologies, such as greenhouse gas removal (GGR) and solar radiation management (SRM), will strongly influence their future development and deployment. Studying perceptions of these technologies with traditional survey methods is challenging, because they are largely unknown to the public. Social media data provides a complementary line of evidence by allowing for retrospective analysis of how individuals share their unsolicited opinions.

Improved responsiveness for JKOOS+ compared to KOOS in Japanese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Existing knee related patient reported outcome measurements (PROMs) have overwhelmingly been developed and validated in western chair-based societies, suggesting a potential for a western bias in PROMs evaluation of patients with knee conditions. We, therefore, endeavor to evaluate the responsiveness of the previously developed culturally relevant Japanese version of the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (JKOOS+).

Methods: We enrolled 114 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) across 8 knee clinics in Japan.
