Non-polarizable force fields fail to accurately predict free energies of aqueous electrolytes without compromising the predictive ability for densities and transport properties. A new approach is presented in which (1) TIP4P/2005 water and scaled charge force fields are used to describe the interactions in the liquid phase and (2) an additional Effective Charge Surface (ECS) is used to compute free energies at zero additional computational expense. The ECS is obtained using a single temperature-independent charge scaling parameter per species...

BACKGROUND: African ancestry is a known factor associated with the presentation and aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PC). Hispanic/Latino populations exhibit varying degrees of genetic admixture across Latin American countries, leading to diverse levels of African ancestry. However, it remains unclear whether genetic ancestry plays a role in the aggressiveness of PC in Hispanic/Latino patients. We explored the associations between genetic ancestry and the clinicopathological data in Hispanic/Latino PC patients from Colombia...

A quantum wave function with localization on classical periodic orbits in a mesoscopic elliptic billiard has been achieved by appropriately superposing nearly degenerate eigenstates expressed as products of Mathieu functions. We analyze and discuss the rotational and librational regimes of motion in the elliptic billiard. Simplified line equations corresponding to the classical trajectories can be extracted from the quantum state as an integral equation involving angular Mathieu functions. The phase factors appearing in the integrals are connected to the classical initial positions and velocity components...

We present analytical and numerical solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the scattered wave functions generated by confocal parabolic billiards and parabolic segments with various δ-type potential-strength functions. The analytical expressions are expressed as summations of products of parabolic cylinder functions D_{m}. We numerically investigate the resonances and tunneling in the confocal parabolic billiards by employing an accurate boundary wall method that provides a complete inside-outside picture...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the initial experience of cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) implantation in Latin America. METHOD: We present the first two cases in Latin America of patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) not candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy in whom a CCM device was implanted. Results. RESULTS: In both patients we described improvement of the 6-minute walk test, functional class according to the NYHA and LVEF...

BACKGROUND: Transcriptomic subtyping holds promise for personalized therapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). In this study, we aimed to assess intratumoral transcriptomic subtype diversity and to identify biomarkers of long-term chemoimmunotherapy benefit in human ES-SCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed tumor samples from 58 ES-SCLC patients enrolled in two multicenter single-arm phase IIIb studies evaluating front-line chemoimmunotherapy in Spain: n=32 from the IMfirst trial, and n=26 from the CANTABRICO trial...

Adolphe Quételet, a 19th-century Belgian sociologist and statistician, pioneered the incorporation of statistics into social sciences. He initiated the development of anthropometry since he was interested in identifying the proportions of the 'ideal man'. He devised a ratio between weight and height, originally termed the Quételet Index, and today widely known and used as the body mass index or BMI. In 1835, he demonstrated that a normal curve accommodates the distribution of human traits articulating his reasoning on human variance around the average...

Preventing microbiological surface contamination in public spaces is nowadays of high priority. The proliferation of a microbial infection may arise through air, water, or direct contact with infected surfaces. Chemical sanitization is one of the most effective approaches to avoid the proliferation of microorganisms. However, extended contact with chemicals for cleaning purposes such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide or ethanol may lead to long-term diseases as well as drowsiness or respiratory issues, not to mention environmental issues associated to their use...

OBJECTIVE: Serum creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism, and low creatinine is postulated to be associated with diminished muscle mass. This study examined the association between low pre-operative serum creatinine and post-operative outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utilized the 2014-2021 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program to identify patients undergoing surgery with gynecologic oncologists. Patients with missing pre-operative creatinine, end-stage renal disease, sepsis, septic shock, dialysis, or pregnancy were excluded...

BACKGROUND: Among patients with advanced heart failure (HF), treatment with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL). We investigated the association between psychosocial risk factors, HRQOL, and outcomes after LVAD implantation. METHODS: A retrospective cohort (n=9832) of adults aged ≥ 19 years who received durable LVAD between 2008 - 2017 was identified using the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS)...

The ability to sense and respond to host defenses is essential for pathogen survival. Some mechanisms involve two-component systems (TCS) that respond to host molecules, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and activate specific gene regulatory pathways to aid in survival. Alongside TCSs, bacteria coordinate cell division proteins, chaperones, cell wall sortases and secretory translocons at discrete locations within the cytoplasmic membrane, referred to as functional membrane microdomains (FMMs). In Group A Streptococcus (GAS), the FMM or "ExPortal" coordinates protein secretion, cell wall synthesis and sensing of AMP-mediated cell envelope stress via the LiaFSR three-component system...

In Mexico strawberry production has great economic importance for the local and export markets as the country is the main strawberry supplier to the United States (SIAP, 2020). In 2022, strawberry plants with yellowing and wilting leaves, root rot and wilting, necrosis of vascular bundles and small fruits symptoms were observed in different commercial fields in the north-central Mexican state of Sinaloa, causing yield losses of about 10%. Typical Fusarium spp. colonies were recovered from all samples. They produced abundant white aerial mycelium with cream to orange pigment and branched septate hyphae (Fig...

We also describe the development of the electronic control, the user interface, the vacuum system, and arrangements to reduce acoustical noise and vibrations. We demonstrate the microscope's performance with atomic-resolution topographic images of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and local thermopower measurements in the semimetal Bi2 Te3 . Our system offers a tool to investigate the relationship between electronic structure and thermoelectric properties at the nanoscale...

The binding activity of various trastuzumab biosimilars versus the branded trastuzumab towards the glycosylated extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) target in the presence of pertuzumab was investigated. We employed size exclusion chromatography with tetra-detection methodology to simultaneously determine absolute molecular weight, concentration, molecular size, and intrinsic viscosity. All trastuzumab molecules in solution exhibit analogous behavior in their binary action towards HER2 regardless of the order of addition of trastuzumab/pertuzumab...

Opuntia ficus-indica has always interacted with many phytophagous insects; two of them are Dactylopius coccus and D. opuntiae . Fine cochineal ( D. coccus ) is produced to extract carminic acid, and D. opuntiae , or wild cochineal, is an invasive pest of O. ficus-indica in more than 20 countries around the world. Despite the economic and environmental relevance of this cactus, D. opuntiae , and D. coccus , there are few studies that have explored volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derived from the plant-insect interaction...
