This paper focuses on the understanding of the Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) in Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPAD). We studied the RTS of two different SPAD layouts, designed and implemented in a 150-nm CMOS process, after proton irradiation. The two structures are characterized by different junction types: the first structure is constituted by a P+/Nwell junction, while the second is formed by a Pwell/Niso junction. RTS occurrence has been measured in about one thousand SPAD pixels and the differences addressed in two layouts are motivated and discussed. Hypotheses on the RTS origin are drawn by analyzing the RTS time constants and the RTS occurrence evolution as a function of the annealing temperature.

This paper investigates the effects of the numerical method employed to solve the system of differential equations that characterise a closed-loop inverse kinematics (CLIK) algorithm in the discrete-time domain. The paper presents a detailed comparison between a 4th order method, namely the Runge-Kutta 4 (RK4) and the explicit Euler 1-st order method, that is the one most often used in applications. In spite of a lower complexity of the mathematical model, simulations on a 7-Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) show that using explicit Euler produces better performance in some conditions, such as when considering a constant Cartesian reference. On the other hand, significantly lower tracking error is observed for time-varying Cartesian reference when using RK4. This method also generates smoother joint trajectories when moving through a kinematic singularity. Finally, the results suggest that the stability of the closed-loop algorithm is retained for larger gain values when using RK4.

- Abstract
Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different degrees of dependence on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose-Einstein background from the correlation functions. All three methods give consistent results. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity as well as average pair transverse momentum and mass. The results are compared with data from both CMS and ATLAS at s = 7 TeV, as well as with theoretical predictions.

One-third of global energy demand as well as CO2 emissions is accounted to industrial processes. In particular, over 30% of total industrial energy consumption is attributed to the iron and steel, cement and refining industry. The aim of the present paper is to review crosscutting technologies and measures adopted to improve energy efficiency in the main Italian industrial sectors regulated by the recent EU legislation on integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC-IED). In fact, 2010/75/EU Directive on industrial emissions, a general improvement on the entire environmental performance of the industrial installations is pursued by taking into account relevant environmental issues, such as emissions into water, air, soil as well as energy efficiency, waste production, recovering and recycling, restoration of the site upon definitive cessation of activities. Moreover, according to 2010/75/EU Directive, IPPC permits should be based on Best Available Techniques (BAT) aimed to reach an adequate level of environmental protection and should establish all the necessary measures including operating conditions, emission limit values for relevant polluting substances as well as monitoring requirements. Thus, in the present paper an assessment of Best Available Techniques (BAT) related to energy efficiency in the main Italian industrial installations is carried out on the base of the analysis on the IPPC permits released by the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea, and made available on its web site. As a result a significant improvement in energy efficiency was assessed. In fact, many process units were upgraded, by major revamping or even by replacing the process completely with one showing better performances. Finally, since energy efficiency is at its best at the beginning of the life cycle of the plant, operators, whenever necessary, periodically monitor and measure the actual energy performance of their own installations for process control and maintenance purposes.

Background A lack of advanced healthcare information systems and validated scientific cohorts in Nicaragua makes it difficult to estimate disease prevalences and other public health statistics. Although there is concern of an “epidemic” of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this country, statistics regarding its magnitude are derived from only a small number of non-representative studies. Budgetary constraints and the logistical problems of maintaining a study cohort make longitudinal studies difficult. The Rivas Cohort was created to measure disease burden of CKD and other public health priorities in the Department of Rivas, Nicaragua. Using primarily volunteer research students and technologic innovation including GPS, digital photography and point of care biochemical analysis, the ability to establish a longitudinal chronic disease cohort is demonstrated. Methods Subjects were recruited from consecutive adjacent households in thirty-two randomly selected communities in the ten municipalities that comprise the Department of Rivas in southern Pacific coastal Nicaragua. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, subjects were enrolled into the cohort and consented for future re-contact. In Phase II, conducted two years later, attempts were made to re-contact 400 of these subjects for additional data collection. Demographic, lifestyle, occupational, exposure and health data was collected for both phases of the study. Blood and urine testing and height, weight and blood pressure measurements were also performed. GPS coordinates of homes were recorded and maps of remote communities created. Results Of 1397 adults living in 533 households approached for participation a total of 1242 (89 %) were enrolled in the cohort. The median age is 41 years and 43 % are male, demographics in agreement with Nicaraguan census data for the Department of Rivas. During Phase II we attempted to re-contact 400 subjects for a follow-up study of CKD. It was possible to re-contact 84 % of these participants and of those re-contacted 95 % agreed to participate in the follow-up study. Of subjects that were not successfully re-contacted the majority had either moved (32) or were not at home (22) at the time of the study team visits. Conclusion The Rivas Cohort Study enrolled a representative sample of 1242 adults living in the Department of Rivas, Nicaragua. The high re-contact and participation rates at two years suggests that the cohort is suitable for long-term studies and presents opportunities for investigations of disease prevalence, incidence, treatment and other public health matters. GPS coordinates and maps are available for future researchers who wish to use the cohort for additional studies.

- Abstract
The production of J/ψ and ψ(2S) was studied with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The measurement was performed at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4) down to zero transverse momentum (pt) in the dimuon decay channel. Inclusive J/ψ yields were extracted in different centrality classes and the centrality dependence of the average pt is presented. The J/ψ suppression, quantified with the nuclear modification factor (RAA), was measured as a function of centrality, transverse momentum and rapidity. Comparisons with similar measurements at lower collision energy and theoretical models indicate that the J/ψ production is the result of an interplay between color screening and recombination mechanisms in a deconfined partonic medium, or at its hadronization. Results on the ψ(2S) suppression are provided via the ratio of ψ(2S) over J/ψ measured in pp and Pb-Pb collisions. © 2016, The Author(s).

Transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra of pions, kaons, and protons up to p(T) = 20 GeV/c have been measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector for six different centrality classes covering 0%-80%. The proton-to-pion and the kaon-to-pion ratios both show a distinct peak at p(T) approximate to 3 GeV/c in central Pb-Pb collisions that decreases for more peripheral collisions. For p(T) > 10 GeV/c, the nuclear modification factor is found to be the same for all three particle species in each centrality interval within systematic uncertainties of 10%-20%. This suggests there is no direct interplay between the energy loss in the medium and the particle species composition in the hard core of the quenched jet. For p(T) < 10 GeV/c, the data provide important constraints for models aimed at describing the transition from soft to hard physics.

Introduction We sought to establish whether CT angiography (CTA) can be applied to the planning and performance of clipping or coiling in ruptured intracranial aneurysms without recourse to intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (IA-DSA).Methods Over the period April 2003 to January 2006 in all patients presenting with a subarachnoid haemorrhage CTA was performed primarily. If CTA demonstrated an aneurysm, coiling or clipping was undertaken. IA-DSA was limited to patients with negative or inconclusive CTA findings. We compared CTA images with findings at surgery or coiling in patients with positive CTA findings and in patients with negative and inconclusive findings in whom IA-DSA had been performed.Results In this study, 224 consecutive patients (mean age 52.7 years, 135 women) were included. In 133 patients (59%) CTA demonstrated an aneurysm, and CTA was followed directly by neurosurgical (n=55) or endovascular treatment (n=78). In 31 patients (14%) CTA findings were categorized as inconclusive, and in 60 (27%) CTA findings were negative. One patient received surgical treatment on the basis of false-positive CTA findings. In 17 patients in whom CTA findings were inconclusive, IA-DSA provided further diagnostic information required for correct patient selection for any therapy. Five ruptured aneurysms in patients with a nonperimesencephalic SAH were negative on CTA, and four of these were also false-negative on IA-DSA. On a patient basis the positive predictive value, negative predictive value, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CTA for symptomatic aneurysms were 99%, 90%, 96%, 98% and 96%, respectively.Conclusion CTA should be used as the first diagnostic modality in the selection of patients for surgical or endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. If CTA renders inconclusive results, IA-DSA should be performed. With negative CTA results the complementary value of IA-DSA is marginal. IA-DSA is not needed in patients with negative CTA and classic perimesencephalic SAH. Repeat IA-DSA or CTA should still be performed in patients with a nonperimesencephalic SAH.

We report the measurement of a new observable of jet quenching in central Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV, based on the semi-inclusive rate of charged jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-p T) charged hadron trigger. Jets are measured using collinear-safe jet reconstruction with infrared cutoff for jet constituents of 0.15 GeV, for jet resolution parameters R = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5. Underlying event background is corrected at the event-ensemble level, without imposing bias on the jet population. Recoil jet spectra are reported in the range 20 < p(T,jet)(ch) < 100 GeV. Reference distributions for pp collisions at root s = 2.76TeV are calculated using Monte Carlo and NLO pQCD methods, which are validated by comparing with measurements in pp collisions at root s = 7TeV. The recoil jet yield in central Pb-Pb collisions is found to be suppressed relative to that in pp collisions. No significant medium-induced broadening of the intra-jet energy profile is observed within 0.5 radians relative to the recoil jet axis. The angular distribution of the recoil jet yield relative to the trigger axis is found to be similar in central Pb-Pb and pp collisions, with no significant medium-induced acoplanarity observed. Large-angle jet deflection, which may provide a direct probe of the nature of the quasi-particles in hot QCD matter, is explored.

We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10 days of LIGO S5 data ranging from 50-550 Hz, and performs an incoherent sum of coherent $\mathcal{F}$-statistic power distributed amongst frequency-modulated orbital sidebands. All candidates not removed at the veto stage were found to be consistent with noise at a 1% false alarm rate. We present Bayesian 95% confidence upper limits on gravitational-wave strain amplitude using two different prior distributions: a standard one, with no a priori assumptions about the orientation of Scorpius X-1; and an angle-restricted one, using a prior derived from electromagnetic observations. Median strain upper limits of 1.3e-24 and 8e-25 are reported at 150 Hz for the standard and angle-restricted searches respectively. This proof of principle analysis was limited to a short observation time by unknown effects of accretion on the intrinsic spin frequency of the neutron star, but improves upon previous upper limits by factors of ~1.4 for the standard, and 2.3 for the angle-restricted search at the sensitive region of the detector., 19 pages, 8 figures

High Energy Physics::Experiment ,Nuclear Experiment - Abstract
The nuclear modification factor, RAA, of the prompt charmed mesons D0, D+ and D∗+, and their antiparticles, was measured with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sNN=2.76(Formula presented.) TeV in two transverse momentum intervals, 5 < pT< 8 GeV/c and 8 < pT< 16 GeV/c, and in six collision centrality classes. The RAA shows a maximum suppression of a factor of 5-6 in the 10% most central collisions. The suppression and its centrality dependence are compatible within uncertainties with those of charged pions. A comparison with the RAA of non-prompt J/ψ from B meson decays, measured by the CMS Collaboration, hints at a larger suppression of D mesons in the most central collisions.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] © 2015, The Author(s).

A new automated technique, based on the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), has been developed in order to analyze potential field data. Estimations of horizontal location, depth and structural index are obtained as results utilizing an automated approach. The technique selects the ridges along a user- specified profile and performs an automatic source parameters research. The estimated source position and structural index are characterized by solution attributes that are used to assess the quality of the estimation. A solution selection on the basis of these parameters is subsequently performed. Applications to either synthetic or real-case data show the usefulness of the automated approach.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is the major cause limiting long term graft survival after heart transplantation (HT), and is characterized by changes in coronary artery geometry, such as intimal thickening and vessel remodeling. Given the limited strategies available to reduce its impact on outcome, early diagnosis of CAV - for which intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is the gold standard - is crucial to appropriately modulate therapy and to reduce contributing risk factors. However, a highly reproducible image-analysis method is required to capture the complex mechanisms beyond CAV - related changes in coronary geometry.

Reducing custom software development effort is an important goal in information retrieval (IR). This study evaluated a generalizable approach involving with no custom software or rules development. The study used documents “consistent with cancer” to evaluate system performance in the domains of colorectal (CRC), prostate (PC), and lung (LC) cancer. Using an end-user-supplied reference set, the automated retrieval console (ARC) iteratively calculated performance of combinations of natural language processing-derived features and supervised classification algorithms. Training and testing involved 10-fold cross-validation for three sets of 500 documents each. Performance metrics included recall, precision, and F-measure. Annotation time for five physicians was also measured. Top performing algorithms had recall, precision, and F-measure values as follows: for CRC, 0.90, 0.92, and 0.89, respectively; for PC, 0.97, 0.95, and 0.94; and for LC, 0.76, 0.80, and 0.75. In all but one case, conditional random fields outperformed maximum entropy-based classifiers. Algorithms had good performance without custom code or rules development, but performance varied by specific application.

none 4 This work is aimed at defining the architecture of a new digital ASIC, namely slow control logic (SCL), which will be designed and fabricated in a commercial 130 nm CMOS technology. This chip will be embedded within a high-speed data acquisition optical link (GBT) to control and monitor the front-end electronics proposed for future high-energy physics experiments at the super-Large Hadron Collider (SLHC), CERN, Geneva. The GBT link provides a transparent transport layer between the SCL and control electronics in the counting room. It will be provided with rad-hard redundant logic for critical circuits. The project follows a set of designs that were recently developed via a 250 nm CMOS technology for LHC experiments. Since this 250 nm specific technology used to design ASICs for the LHC will no longer be available as it was in the past, requesting an update technology for future experiments must be satisfied in any case. A test chip that implements three different redundant methodologies against single event effects is also described.

- Abstract
Nowadays, the scientific community has focused on dealing with different kinds of diseases by exploring the chemistry of various heterocycles as novel drugs. In this connection, medicinal chemists identified carbonic anhydrases (CA) as one of the biologically active targets for curing various diseases. The widespread distribution of these enzymes and the high degree of homology shared by the different isoforms offer substantial challenges to discovering potential drugs. Medicinal and synthetic organic chemists have been continuously involved in developing CA inhibitors. This review explored the chemistry of different heterocycles as CA inhibitors using the last 11 years of published research work. It provides a pathway for young researchers to further explore the chemistry of a variety of synthetic as well as natural heterocycles as CA inhibitors., (© 2024 Deutsche Pharmazeutische Gesellschaft.)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of visceral fat, as compared with total and subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) in obese patients operated with laparascopic adjustable silicone gastric banding (LAP-BAND). SUBJECTS: Six premenopausal morbid obese (body mass index range: 41.4–44.2 kg/m2) women, aged 38–42 y, operated with LAP-BAND, evaluated before, 8 weeks after, and 24 weeks after surgery. MEASUREMENTS: Fat distribution was analysed by total body multi-slices MRI. Total AT, gluteo-femoral subcutaneous AT, abdominal subcutaneous AT, and abdominal visceral AT volumes were measured. FM was calculated from MRI-determined total AT volume and AT density. RESULTS: A weight loss of 9.9±3.8 kg was observed in the first 8 weeks after LAP-BAND (0–8 weeks), and a further weight loss of 7.1±4.9 kg in the subsequent 16 weeks (8–24 weeks). Total AT showed a statistically significant reduction of 6.2±4.0 l in 0–8 weeks and a further significant reduction of 7.7±3.9 l in 8–24 weeks (P

- Abstract
Background: Aging of the male prostate is an inevitable process in which the prostate undergoes hyperplasia, and this growth may lead to compression of the urethra, resulting in voiding dysfunction and associated symptoms, and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Despite the significance of prostate aging, the molecular mechanisms involved are still not fully understood. Methods: Prostate split by lobes from young (2 months) and aged (24 months) mice were collected for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis. Tissues from both anterior prostate (AP) and ventral/dorsal/lateral prostate (VDLP) were included in the study. Data analysis included unsupervised clustering using the uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) algorithm to identify distinct cell types based on marker gene expression. Differential gene expression analysis was performed to identify age-related changes in gene expression across different cell types. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to elucidate biological pathways associated with differentially expressed genes. Additionally, cellular interactions and developmental trajectories were analyzed to characterize cellular dynamics during prostate aging. Results: The single-cell transcriptome analysis of the mouse prostate during aging revealed heterogeneity across various cell types and their changes during the aging process. We found a significant increase in the proportion of mesenchymal and immune cells in aged mice. Our study unveiled alterations in genes and pathways associated with cellular senescence, oxidative stress, and regeneration in epithelial cells. Furthermore, we observed that basal cells may undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to become mesenchymal cells, particularly prominent in aged mice. Additionally, immune cells, notably macrophages and T cells, exhibited a heightened inflammatory response in aged mice. Conclusion: In summary, our study provides a comparative analysis of the single-cell transcriptome of the aged and young mice prostates, elucidating cellular and molecular changes between the aged and young mice prostates.

- Abstract
Background The rationale of the study was to analyze the impact of age on quality of life (QoL) in patients who had undergone cardiac surgery with consecutive extracorporeal life support (ECLS) treatment. Methods The study population consisted of 200 patients, operated upon between August 2006 and December 2018. The patient cohort was divided into two groups following an arbitrary cutoff age of 70 years. Comparative outcome analysis was calculated utilizing the European Quality of Life-5-Dimensions-5-Level Version (EQ-5D-5L). Results A total of 113 patients were 70 years or less old (group young), whereas 87 patients were older than 70 years (group old). In 45.7% of cases, the ECLS system was established during cardiogenic shock and external cardiac massage. The overall survival-to-discharge was 31.5% (n = 63), with a significantly better survival in the younger patient group (young = 38.9%; old = 21.8%, p = 0.01). Forty-two patients (66%) responded to the QoL survey after a median follow-up of 4.3 years. Older patients reported more problems with mobility (y = 52%; o = 88%, p = 0.02) and self-care (y = 24%; o = 76%, p = 0.01). However, the patients' self-rated health status utilizing the Visual Analogue Scale revealed no differences (y = 70% [50–80%]; o = 70% [60–80%], p = 0.38). Likewise, the comparison with an age-adjusted German reference population revealed similar QoL indices. There were no statistically significant differences in the EQ-5D-5L index values related to sex, number of comorbidities, and emergency procedures. Conclusion Despite the limited sample size due to the high mortality rate especially in elderly, the present study suggests that QoL of elderly patients surviving ECLS treatment is almost comparable to younger patients.

TURING machines ,POLYNOMIALS ,PUBLIC key cryptography - Abstract
This paper presents the first functional encryption (FE) scheme for the attribute-weighted sum functionality that supports the uniform model of computation. In such an FE scheme, encryption takes as input a pair of attributes (x, z) where x is public and z is private. A secret key corresponds to some weight function f, and decryption recovers the weighted sum f(x)z. In our scheme, both the public and private attributes can be of arbitrary polynomial lengths that are not fixed at system setup. The weight functions are modelled as Logspace Turing machines . Prior schemes could only support non-uniform Logspace. The proposed scheme is proven adaptively simulation secure under the well-studied symmetric external Diffie–Hellman assumption against an arbitrary polynomial number of secret key queries both before and after the challenge ciphertext. This is the best possible security notion that could be achieved for FE. On the technical side, our contributions lie in extending the techniques of Lin and Luo [EUROCRYPT 2020] devised for indistinguishability-based payload hiding attribute-based encryption for uniform Logspace access policies and the "three-slot reduction" technique for simulation-secure attribute-hiding FE for non-uniform Logspace devised by Datta and Pal [ASIACRYPT 2021] to the context of simulation-secure attribute-hiding FE for uniform Logspace.

Objective: Increased frequency of autoimmune thyroid disease, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) was reported several studies in the literature, in individuals with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and contributing factors of thyroid dysfunction and HT among cSLE patients. Methods: Thyroid function tests were obtained cross-sectionally from cSLE patients. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics and activity scores were collected from medical records. Patients diagnosed with cSLE were compared to the healthy control group for the frequency of thyroid dysfunction. The Mann-Whitney U, independent samples t test, and the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test were used to compare study groups. A p -value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 73 cSLE patients, 14 (19.1%) had subclinical hypothyroidism, 9 (12.3%) had clinical hypothyroidism, 12 (16.4%) were diagnosed with HT, and 12 (16.4%) had a family history of HT. Thyroid USG was performed in 5 euthyroid patients and 1 borderline subclinical hypothyroid patient with positive thyroid autoantibody and reported as diffuse heterogeneous echogenicity enlargement in the thyroid gland. There were no significant differences in clinical and laboratory data or medication used between the groups with and without HT; however, patients with HT had a higher frequency of clinical hypothyroidism and family history of HT. Cumulative prednisolone dose was significantly lower in patients diagnosed with HT. The frequency of HT was considerably higher in patients with cSLE compared to the healthy control group. Conclusion: The results demonstrate an increased incidence of HT in cSLE patients, even if they are euthyroid, and recommend that cSLE patients be screened more frequently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background. Emerging research has identified ferroptosis as a novel form of programmed cell death, and Arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) stands out as a pivotal gene in mediating this process. Nonetheless, the role of ALOX15 in human tumors remains elusive. Methods. We utilized TIMER 2.0 to investigate the differential expression profiles of ALOX15 between pan-cancer and normal tissues. Further data from the TCGA, GEPIA, UALCAN, HPA, and CPTAC databases were analyzed to verify the levels of mRNA, protein expression, and promoter methylation across various cancer types. The survival prognosis, clinical features, and genetic alterations of ALOX15 were also evaluated. GO/KEGG enrichment analyses and single-cell transcriptome sequencing were employed for functional enrichment analysis. The gene mutation of ALOX15 and its prognostic value were analyzed using the cBioPortal platform. Finally, the relationship between ALOX15 and immune cell infiltration, Immune Checkpoints (ICKs), genomic instability, and drug sensitivity was further explored using GSCA. Results. Our findings revealed that the transcription and protein expression of ALOX15 were significantly reduced in HNSC, LUAD, LUSC, SKCM, KICH, and THCA, while they were up-regulated in ESCA, LIHC, PRAD, and UCEC. Notably, the expression of ALOX15 had prognostic value for certain cancers, including LUAD, LUSC, LIHC, KIRC, HNSC, THCA, and LGG. Additionally, ALOX15 expression was markedly correlated with clinical characteristics, immune cell infiltration, ICKs, genomic instability, and antitumor drug sensitivity in various tumors. Gene mutations of ALOX15 and their prognostic value were discovered in pan-cancers. Furthermore, GO/KEGG analysis and single-cell transcriptome sequencing indicated that ALOX15 was significantly associated with cancer-related pathways. Conclusion. Our comprehensive pan-cancer analysis shed light on the role and significance of ALOX15, suggesting its potential as a prognostic and immunotherapeutic marker for pan-cancer. These findings may provide new directions and evidence for cancer therapeutics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Numerous observational and retrospective studies have demonstrated an association between Autoimmune Thyroiditis (AIT) and various systemic Autoimmune Diseases (AIDs). However, the causal relationship between them remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the causal link between AIT and diverse types of AIDs utilizing the Mendelian Randomization (MR) method. Method: We assessed the causal relationship between AIT and eight prevalent AIDs. Summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were sourced from the FinnGen biobank and IEU Open GWAS database. Two-sample MR analyses were conducted, with the primary statistical approach being the Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW) method. This was complemented by a series of sensitivity analyses, and the robustness of the findings was evaluated through the estimation of heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Results: When AIT was considered as the outcome, MR evidence suggested an association between Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Type 1 diabetes (T1D), and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with AIT. Utilizing the Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW) method, we observed an increased risk of AIT with exposure to RA (P = 0.024, OR=1.25; 95% CI = 1.03,1.52), T1D (P < 0.001, OR=1.27 95% CI = 1.11,1.46), and SLE (P = 0.037, OR=1.14; 95% CI = 1.04,1.26). Conversely, no significant genetic causal relationship with AIT was found for Sjogren's syndrome (SS), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn's disease (CD), and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Conclusion: This study identified RA, T1D, and SLE as triggering factors for AIT. The incidence rate of AIT in patients with RA, T1D, and SLE may be higher than that in the general population. Therefore, individuals with these three diseases should undergo regular monitoring of thyroid-related indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purposes: To provide novel aspects for the preoperative diagnosis and appropriate differentiation strategies for follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA). Methods: Among 25,765 cases, a total of 326 patients with follicular thyroid neoplasms between 2013 and 2019 were enrolled. Patient demographics, perioperative parameters, surgical profiles and oncologic outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences in preoperative ultrasound findings between FTA and FTC patients. The true positive rate (sensitivity) and true negative rate (specificity) of fine needle aspiration (FNA) for FTA patients were 0.6956 and 0.5000, respectively, and those for FTC patients were 0.0714 and 0.9348, respectively. Patients with FTC presented significantly higher serum thyroglobulin (TG) levels than patients with FTA. Preoperative TG level was positively related to tumor invasiveness and recurrence or distant metastases in FTC patients. There were 55 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), accounting for 16.87% of enrolled patients. HT patients had significantly lower serum TG concentrations than antibody-negative patients. Among HT patients, no significant differences were observed in TG levels between the FTA and FTC groups. Instead, FTA patients had significantly higher serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and lower serum T3 (Triiodothyronine) levels compared to FTC patients. Serum TSH level >1.736U/L was associated with benign follicular neoplasms in HT patients according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Conclusion: Distinguishing FTC from FTA remains a challenge for ultrasonography and FNA. Serum TG should be measured as a risk factor of FTC. However, in HT patients, serum TSH levels can serve as a more reliable indicator for differentiating FTC from FTA preoperatively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the process of muscle regeneration post‐injury in adults, muscle stem cells (MuSCs) function is facilitated by neighboring cells within the pro‐regenerative niche. However, the precise mechanism triggering the initiation of signaling in the pro‐regenerative niche remains unknown. Using single‐cell RNA sequencing, 14 different muscle cells are comprehensively mapped during the initial stage following injury. Among these, macrophages and fibro‐adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) exhibit the most pronounced intercellular communication with other cells. In the FAP subclusters, the study identifies an activated FAP phenotype that secretes chemokines, such as CXCL1, CXCL5, CCL2, and CCL7, to recruit macrophages after injury. Il1rl1, encoding the protein of the interleukin‐33 (IL‐33) receptor, is identified as a highly expressed signature surface marker of the FAP phenotype. Following muscle injury, autocrine IL‐33, an alarmin, has been observed to activate quiescent FAPs toward this inflammatory phenotype through the IL1RL1‐MAPK/NF‐κB signaling pathway. Il1rl1 deficiency results in decreased chemokine expression and recruitment of macrophages, accompanied by impaired muscle regeneration. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism involving the IL‐33/IL1RL1 signaling pathway in promoting the activation of FAPs and facilitating muscle regeneration, which can aid the development of therapeutic strategies for muscle‐related disorders and injuries.

METEOROLOGICAL satellites ,INFRARED spectra ,MOLE fraction ,METHANE ,FOURIER transforms - Abstract
In this study, we carried out an independent validation of two methane retrieval algorithms using spectra from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) that has been aboard the Meteorological Operational Satellite A (MetOp-A) since 2006. Both algorithms, one developed by the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD), called the non-linear inference scheme (NLISv8.3), and the other by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), referred to as RALv2.0, provide long-term global CH4 concentrations using distinctively different retrieval approaches (neural network vs. optimal estimation, respectively). They also differ with respect to the vertical range covered, where LMD provides mid-tropospheric dry-air mole fractions (mt CH4), and RAL provides mixing ratio profiles from which we can derive total column-averaged dry-air mole fractions (X CH4) and potentially two partial column layers (q CH4). We compared both CH4 products using the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) model, in situ profiles (range extended using CAMS model data), and ground-based Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) remote-sensing measurements. The average difference (in mt CH4) with respect to in situ profiles for LMD ranges between -0.3 and 10.9 ppb, while for RAL the X CH4 difference ranges between -4.6 and -1.6 ppb. The standard deviation (SD) of the observed differences between in situ measurements and RAL retrievals is 14.1–21.9 ppb, which is consistently smaller than that between LMD retrievals and in situ measurements (15.2–30.6 ppb). By comparing with ground-based FTIR sites, the mean differences are within ±10 ppb for both RAL and LMD retrievals. However, the SD of the differences at the ground-based FTIR stations shows significantly lower values for RAL (11–15 ppb) than for LMD (about 25 ppb). The long-term trend and seasonal cycles of CH4 derived from the LMD and RAL products are further investigated and discussed. The seasonal variation in X CH4 derived from RAL is consistent with the seasonal variation observed by the ground-based FTIR measurements. However, the overall 2007–2015 X CH4 trend derived from RAL measurements is underestimated, if not adjusted, for an anomaly occurring on 16 May 2013 due to a L1 calibration change. For LMD, we see very good agreement at the (sub)tropics (<35 ° N– 35° S) but notice deviations in the seasonal cycle (both in the amplitude and phase) and an underestimation of the long-term trend with respect to the RAL and reference data at higher-latitude sites.

SKIN diseases ,AUTOIMMUNE thyroiditis ,IMMUNOSPECIFICITY ,LICHEN planus ,IMMUNOLOGICAL tolerance - Abstract
Autoimmune skin disorders, including Psoriasis, Lichen Planus, Vitiligo, Atopic Dermatitis, and Alopecia Areata, arise from a combination of genetic predisposition, external factors, and immunological dysfunction. It is well-documented that there is a strong correlation between autoimmune thyroid diseases and a range of dermatological disorders, especially urticaria. This review investigates possible links between autoimmune thyroiditis and a broader spectrum of autoimmune skin conditions, analyzing shared genetic markers, immunological mechanisms, and clinical correlations. Common pathogenic mechanisms include disrupted immune tolerance and oxidative stress, leading to chronic inflammation. Genetic factors, such as IL-23 receptor gene variants, increase the risk for Psoriasis, Alopecia Areata, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Additionally, CTLA-4 mutations enhance susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid and skin disorders. Shared genetic susceptibility was also reported in Lichen Planus and Vitilgo, even if different genetic loci might be involved. The breakdown of the immune system can determine a pro-inflammatory state, facilitating the development of autoimmunity and auto-antibody cross-reactions. The presence of similar antigens in skin cells and thyrocytes might explain why both tissues are affected. The significant overlap between these conditions emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive diagnosis workup and treatment. Future research should focus on clarifying specific immunological pathways and identifying novel biomarkers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the effect of basalt fiber (BF) on the frost resistance of concrete under different curing conditions was investigated, and its frost resistance mechanism was analyzed. Three different curing conditions (normal curing, short-term curing, and seawater curing) were adopted, and concrete with different BF volume contents was designed. Freeze-thaw (FT) tests were carried out using the rapid freezing method to test the frost resistance of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC). Additionally, the mass loss rate (MLR), relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) change, and compressive strength reduction of specimens during the freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) were evaluated. The results show that when the BF content is 0.15%, under normal curing, short-term curing, and seawater curing conditions, the residual compressive strength of BFRC after FTCs was increased by 5.4%, 28.1%, and 30.9%, respectively, compared to plain concrete. By incorporating BF into concrete, the development of microcracks can be effectively retarded, and damage generation during FTCs can be reduced. In addition, the microscopic morphological characteristics and pore structure characteristics of concrete further elucidate the frost resistance mechanism of BFRC from a microscopic perspective.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant ,HUMORAL immunity ,VACCINE effectiveness ,BREAKTHROUGH infections ,COVID-19 vaccines - Abstract
In this study, we conducted a case-control investigation to assess the immunogenicity and effectiveness of primary and first booster homologous and heterologous COVID-19 vaccination regimens against infection and hospitalization, targeting variants circulating in Lebanon during 2021–2022. The study population comprised active Lebanese military personnel between February 2021 and September 2022. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated hospitalization was retrospectively determined during different variant-predominant periods using a case-control study design. Vaccines developed by Sinopharm, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca as well as Sputnik V were analyzed. Prospective assessment of humoral immune response, which was measured based on the SARS-CoV-2 antispike receptor binding domain IgG titer, was performed post vaccination at various time points, focusing on Sinopharm and Pfizer vaccines. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS and GraphPad Prism. COVID-19 VE remained consistently high before the emergence of the Omicron variant, with lower estimates during the Delta wave than those during the Alpha wave for primary vaccination schemes. However, vaccines continued to offer significant protection against infection. VE estimates consistently decreased for the Omicron variant across post-vaccination timeframes and schemes. VE against hospitalization declined over time and was influenced by the variant. No breakthrough infections progressed to critical or fatal COVID-19. Immunogenicity analysis revealed that the homologous Pfizer regimen elicited a stronger humoral response than Sinopharm, while a heterologous Sinopharm/Pfizer regimen yielded comparable results to the Pfizer regimen. Over time, both Sinopharm's and Pfizer's primary vaccination schemes exhibited decreased humoral immunity titers, with Pfizer being a more effective booster than Sinopharm. This study, focusing on healthy young adults, provides insights into VE during different pandemic waves. Continuous research and monitoring are essential for understanding vaccine-mediated immune responses under evolving circumstances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BREAKTHROUGH infections ,SARS-CoV-2 ,SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant ,ANTIBODY titer ,COVID-19 vaccines - Abstract
Background: Hybrid immunity provides better protection against COVID-19 than vaccination or prior natural infection alone. It induces high magnitude and broadly cross-reactive neutralising anti-Spike IgG antibodies. However, it is not clear how long these potent antibodies last, especially in the context of adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study and enrolled 20 adults who had received an adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccine before a laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. We followed up the study participants for 390 days post the initial breakthrough infection. We assessed the longevity and cross-reactive breadth of serum antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), including Omicron. Results: The binding anti-Spike IgG antibodies remained within the reported putative levels for at least 360 days and were cross-neutralising against Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron. During the follow up period, a median of one SARS-CoV-2 re-infection event was observed across the cohort, but none resulted in severe COVID-19. Moreover, the re-exposure events were associated with augmented anti-Spike and anti-RBD IgG antibody titres. Conclusions: This study confirms that hybrid immunity provides durable broadly cross-reactive antibody immunity against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern for at least a year (360 days), and that it is further augment by SARS-CoV-2 re-exposure.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an inflammatory disease characterized by increased reactive oxygen species. Diets rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may be linked to a reduced risk of developing HT. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) with HT in Iranian adults. Methods: The study was a hospital-based case-control study conducted on 230 participants (115 cases and 115 controls). Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The FFQ data were used to calculate DII and DTAC scores. Anthropometric measurements, thyroid function, and antibody tests were evaluated using standard methods. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed in both raw and adjusted models to determine the association between DII and DTAC scores with HT. Results: The average age of the participants was 39.76 ± 9.52 years. The mean body mass index in the case and control groups was 28.03 ± 6.32 and 26.43 ± 5.13 (kg/m
2 ), respectively (P = 0.036). In the HT group, the DII level was higher (P < 0.001) and the DTAC level was lower than those in the healthy group (P = 0.047). In the multivariable logistic regression model, after adjusting for confounding factors, subjects in the last tertile of DII had a nonsignificantly higher HT risk than those in the first tertile (OR = 1.75; 95% CI = 0.83–3.65; P = 0.130). Regarding DTAC, the subjects in the last tertile of DTAC had a significantly decreased risk of HT (OR = 0.47; 95% CI = 0.23–0.98; P = 0.043) compared to those in the first tertile. The DII had a positive correlation with anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO), thyroglobulin antibodies (TG-Ab) and thyroid-stimulating hormone, while DTAC had a negative correlation with anti-TPO and TG-Ab (P < 0.050). Conclusion: The increase in DII is not associated with an increase in the risk of HT, while DTAC can significantly reduce its risk. Having an anti-inflammatory and antioxidative diet can be effective in improving thyroid function. These conclusions should be confirmed in additional prospective studies.

Background: Micronutrients play pivotal roles in modulating various aspects of the immune response. However, the existing literature on the association between micronutrients and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) remains limited and contentious. To address this gap, we conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate potential links between genetically predicted concentrations of six micronutrients (Copper (Cu), Iron (Ir), Calcium (Ca), Vitamin D (VD), Vitamin C (VC), Zinc (Zn)) and the risk of AIT. Method: Utilizing summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in individuals of European descent, we employed MR methodologies to elucidate the interplay between micronutrients and AIT. Three distinct MR techniques were employed: Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, and Weighted Median Estimator (WME). Additionally, we evaluated outcome heterogeneity using Cochran’s Q statistic and assessed pleiotropy using the MR-Egger intercept. Result: IVW analysis revealed no substantial evidence supporting a significant impact of genetically predicted micronutrient concentrations on AIT risk (Cu: OR = 0.918, P = 0.875; Ir: OR = 0.653, P = 0.264; Ca: OR = 0.964, P = 0.906; VD: OR = 0.717, P = 0.378; VC: OR = 0.986, P = 0.875; Zn: OR = 0.789, P = 0.539). Cochran’s Q test for IVW indicated no notable heterogeneity. Moreover, the MREgger intercept method suggested the presence of horizontal pleiotropy between serum VC levels and AIT (MR-Egger intercept = −0.037, p = 0.026), while no such pleiotropy was observed for other micronutrients. Conclusion: Our MR analysis does not support a causal relationship between genetically predicted concentrations of six micronutrients (Cu, Ir, Ca, VD, VC, and Zn) and the risk of AIT.

Background: Alveolar macrophages activation to the pro-inflammatory phenotype M1 is pivotal in the pathophysiology of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). Increased lung strain is a known determinant of VILI, but a direct correspondence between regional lung strain and macrophagic activation remains unestablished. [
68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE is a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical with a high affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2), which is overexpressed by pro-inflammatory-activated macrophages. Aim of the study was to determine, in a porcine model of VILI, whether mechanical strain correlates topographically with distribution of activated macrophages detected by [68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE uptake. Methods: Seven anesthetized pigs underwent VILI, while three served as control. Lung CT scans were acquired at incremental tidal volumes, simultaneously recording lung mechanics. [68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE was administered, followed by dynamic PET scans. Custom MatLab scripts generated voxel-by-voxel gas volume and strain maps from CT slices at para-diaphragmatic (Para-D) and mid-thoracic (Mid-T) levels. Analysis of regional Voxel-associated Normal Strain (VoStrain) and [68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE uptake was performed and a measure of the statistical correlation between these two variables was quantified using the linear mutual information (LMI) method. Results: Compared to controls, the VILI group exhibited statistically significant higher VoStrain and Standardized Uptake Value Ratios (SUVR) both at Para-D and Mid-T levels. Both VoStrain and SUVR increased along the gravitational axis with an increment described by statistically different regression lines between VILI and healthy controls and reaching the peak in the dependent regions of the lung (for strain in VILI vs. control was at Para-D: 760 ± 210 vs. 449 ± 106; at Mid-T level 497 ± 373 vs. 193 ± 160; for SUVR, in VILI vs. control was at Para-D: 2.2 ± 1.3 vs. 1.3 ± 0.1; at Mid-T level 1.3 ± 1.0 vs. 0.6 ± 0.03). LMI in both Para-D and Mid-T was statistically significantly higher in VILI than in controls. Conclusions: In this porcine model of VILI, we found a topographical correlation between lung strain and [68 Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE uptake at voxel level, suggesting that mechanical alteration and specific activation of inflammatory cells are strongly linked in VILI. This study represents the first voxel-by-voxel examination of this relationship in a multi-modal imaging analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The global microplastic pollution issue, as a result of the indispensable usage of microplastics in building materials, packaged food, medical products and consumer goods, poses significant health problems for the population. These small particles can penetrate intact cell barriers in the intestines and alveoli, thereby entering the bloodstream. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of reduced plastic consumption on blood pressure. Eight adult and healthy participants abstained from consuming commercially produced bottled beverages and restricted their primary fluid intake to tap water. Blood pressure was measured on both sides before, after 14 days and after 28 to 30 days of this partial plastic diet. Women exhibit a significant change in systolic blood pressure on the right arm after 2 and 4 weeks, while the left arm demonstrates no significant changes in blood pressure. On the contrary, in men, systolic blood pressure values on both arms show no significant alterations, attributable to the high variability across the three participants. Moreover, no significant differences in systolic blood pressure were observed when analysing the entire cohort. Significant findings are evident only at the two-week mark for diastolic blood pressure for all participants in both arms. When considering diastolic blood pressure separately for women and men, men again show no significant changes in blood pressure on either arm. However, women exhibit a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure on the left arm after 2 weeks and a statistically significant decline in diastolic blood pressure on the right arm after both 2 and 4 weeks. The results of the study suggest, for the first time, that a reduction in plastic use could potentially lower blood pressure, probably due to the reduced volume of plastic particles in the bloodstream. To confirm this hypothesis, a larger sample of male and female participants must be examined, ideally with the monitoring of plastic concentration in the blood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
