Evaluation of an artificial intelligence-based decision support for the detection of cutaneous melanoma in primary care : a prospective real-life clinical trial

Background Use of artificial intelligence (AI), or machine learning, to assess dermoscopic images of skin lesions to detect melanoma has, in several retrospective studies, shown high levels of diagnostic accuracy on par with - or even outperforming - experienced dermatologists. However, the enthusiasm around these algorithms has not yet been matched by prospective clinical trials performed in auth

Aqueous two-phase systems for starch microsphere formulation and encapsulation of live bacteria : A phase behaviour perspective

The human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is home to a large community of microorganisms that contribute to human health. Delivering live bacteria to the gut for therapeutic purposes can thus be highly beneficial. However, delivering live biotherapeutic products or probiotic bacteria to the GIT presents challenges because the cells must remain viable during production, storage, and administration. En

The relative contribution of hemodynamic parameters to blood pressure decrease in classical orthostatic hypotension

PURPOSE: We studied the relative contributions of total peripheral resistance (TPR), stroke volume (SV) and heart rate (HR) to low blood pressure in classical orthostatic hypotension (cOH) on group and individual levels.METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed tilt test records from cOH patients and age/sex-matched controls. We quantified relative effects of HR, SV and TPR on mean arterial pressure (M

JCMS 20th Anniversary Symposium : What does the Arrival of Planetary Politics tell us about normative power and the European Union?

Readers of the Journal of Common Market Studies may be surprised and perhaps confused to see references to the speculative fiction (SF) film Arrival and ‘planetary politics’ in this symposium of the premier journal for the study of the European Union (EU). What can we learn from a SF film or the unheard-of politics of the planet in our study of EU politics? might be a good question.This month 80%

3D cultivation of non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines using four different methods

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to set up reliable and reproducible culture conditions for 3D tumoroids derived from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines to enable greater opportunity for successful cultivation of patient-derived samples.METHODS: Four NSCLC cell lines, two adenocarcinomas (A549, NCI-H1975) and two squamous cell carcinomas (HCC-95, HCC-1588), were first cultured in trad

The eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine-ratio is associated with maternal morbidity in hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and may indicate optimal timing of delivery

A low eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine-ratio is characteristic of a group of serious kidney disorders called ‘Selective Glomerular Hypofiltration Syndromes’. This study examines if such a low ratio can also be used to evaluate the risk for women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy to develop severe maternal morbidity. All women discharged from the perinatal ward at the Skåne University Hospital

Structural reading : Developing the method of Structural Collocation Analysis using a case study on parliamentary reporting

To analyze large, digitized corpora, we introduce the new approach of “structural reading”, which combines the abstraction of distant reading with the nuance of close reading. We do so by developing the method of “structural collocation analysis” (SCA) that uses metadata categories to investigate how research topics behave across texts belonging to different categories. The method combines the rob

Identification of JAZF1, KNOP1, and PLEKHA1 as causally associated genes and drug targets for Alzheimer's disease : a summary data-based Mendelian randomization study

BACKGROUND: There is a growing body of evidence indicating the significant role of the immune system and immune cells in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the exact role of genes from various immune cell types in AD remains unclear. We aimed to utilize summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) to explore the potential causal relationships between genes in specific immune

Entropy-based spatial heterogeneity analysis in pathological images for diagnostic applications

Clinical pathological diagnosis and prognosis for cancer is often confounded by spatial tissue heterogeneity. This study investigates the utility of entropy as a robust quantitative metric of spatial disorder within Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) chemical images of breast cancer tissue. The use of entropy is grounded in its capacity to encapsulate the complexities of pixel-wise spectral intensi

Estimating glomerular filtration rate in kidney transplant recipients: considerations for selecting equations

Improving the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) measurement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is an important goal.1 Current US and European recommendations suggest using race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) equations (2021 age and sex [AS] or 2009 age, sex, and race–non-Black [ASR-NB]) in adults, without regard to cause or treatm

TOI-1408: Discovery and Photodynamical Modeling of a Small Inner Companion to a Hot Jupiter Revealed by Transit Timing Variations

We report the discovery and characterization of a small planet, TOI-1408 c, on a 2.2 day orbit located interior to a previously known hot Jupiter, TOI-1408 b (P = 4.42 days, M = 1.86 ± 0.02 M Jup, R = 2.4 ± 0.5 R Jup) that exhibits grazing transits. The two planets are near 2:1 period commensurability, resulting in significant transit timing variations (TTVs) for both planets and transit duration

Study of b-hadron decays to Λc+h−h′− final states

Decays of Ξb− and Ωb− baryons to Λc+h−h′− final states, with h−h′− being π−π−, K−π− and K−K− meson pairs, are searched for using data collected with the LHCb detector. The data sample studied corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb−1 of pp collisions collected at centre-of-mass energies s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The products of the relative branching fractions and fragmentation fractions for

Becoming What We Know : Franz von Baader on Cognition and Revelation

This essay examines the Bavarian physician, mining engineer, and Catholic romantic philosopher Franz von Baader's (1765-1841) enigmatic claim that we think because we are thought with the help of the moral theologian Servain Pinckaers OP (1925-2008) and the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1934-2021). Using Pinckaers' idea of 'fontal knowledge' and Csikszentmihalyi's notion of flow, I interprThis essay examines the Bavarian physician, mining engineer, and Catholic romantic philosopher Franz von Baader's (1765-1841) enigmatic claim that we think because we are thought with the help of the moral theologian Servain Pinckaers OP (1925-2008) and the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1934-2021).

Measurements of the branching fraction ratio B(ϕ→μ+μ−)/B(ϕ→e+e−) with charm meson decays

Measurements of the branching fraction ratio B(ϕ→μ+μ−)/B(ϕ→e+e−) with Ds +→π+ϕ and D+→ π+ϕ decays, denoted Rϕπ s and Rϕπ d, are presented. The analysis is performed using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment. The branching fractions are normalised with respect to the B+ → K+J/ψ(→ e+e−) and B+ → K+J/ψ(→ μ+μ−) decay m
