We aimed to analyze the correlation between the Global Health Security (GHS) Index (categories and indicators) and the Mpox case rate in different regions and globally.
MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used data from Mpox cases from the WHO, and the GHS categories and indicators for detection... Читать дальше...

Our recent study showed the risk of adverse cardiovascular events increased in diabetic neuropathy patients who were prescribed gabapentin or pregabalin. Here, we investigated whether the prescription of gabapentin or pregabalin has similar cardiovascular risk in patients with fibromyalgia. Читать дальше...

A DNA cassette assembly method is described which utilizes inexpensive oligomers no longer than 40 nt in length. The five-segment cassettes have 20 nt overlaps which give an effective length of 80 nt, making it possible to code for peptides up to 20 amino acids long. The cassettes have three phosphate free nicks, which can be successfully inserted into plasmid DNA and used to transform E. coli. The nicks are repaired in vivo by an unknown mechanism. Insertions are not successful... Читать дальше...

Our ability to combine simple constituents into more complex conceptual combinations is a fundamental aspect of cognition. Gradable adjectives (e.g., ‘tall’ and ‘light’) are a critical example of this process, as their meanings vary depending on the noun with which they are combined. For example, a dark diamond is less dark than dark charcoal. Here, we investigate how a neural network encodes the flexible nature of gradable adjectives in adjective–noun pairs... Читать дальше...
