description: Actinic keratosis (AK) is characterized by a reddish or occasionally skin-toned rough patch on sun-damaged skin, and it is regarded as a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Photodynamic therapy (PDT), utilizing 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) along with red light, is a recognized treatment option for AK that is limited by the penetration depth of light and the distribution of the photosensitizer into the skin. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a partially ionized gas with permeability-enhancing and anti-cancer properties. This study analyzed, in vitro, whether a combined treatment of CAP and ALA-PDT may improve the efficacy of the treatment. In addition, the effect of the application sequence of ALA and CAP was investigated using in vitro assays and the molecular characterization of human oral SCC cell lines (SCC-9, SCC-15, SCC-111), human cutaneous SCC cell lines (SCL-1, SCL-2, A431), and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKn). The anti-tumor effect was determined by migration, invasion, and apoptosis assays and supported the improved efficacy of ALA-PDT in combination with CAP. However, the application sequence ALA-CAP–red light seems to be more efficacious than CAP-ALA–red light, which is probably due to increased intracellular ROS levels when ALA is applied first, followed by CAP and red light treatment. Furthermore, the expression of apoptosis- and senescence-related molecules (caspase-3, -6, -9, p16INK4a, p21CIP1) was increased, and different genes of the junctional network (ZO-1, CX31, CLDN1, CTNNB1) were induced after the combined treatment of CAP plus ALA-PDT. HEKn, however, were much less affected than SCC cells. Overall, the results show that CAP may improve the anti-tumor effects of conventional ALA-PDT on SCC cells. Whether this combined application is successful in treating AK in vivo has to be carefully examined in follow-up studies.

description: A new giant outburst of the Be X-ray binary RX J0520.5-6932 was detected and subsequently observed with several space-borne and ground-based instruments. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the optical and X-ray data, focusing on the spectral and timing characteristics of selected X-ray observations. A joint fit of spectra from simultaneous observations performed by the X-ray telescope (XRT) on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift) and Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) provides broadband parameter constraints, including a cyclotron resonant scattering feature (CRSF) at 32.2(+0.8/-0.7) keV with no significant energy change since 2014, and a weaker Fe line. Independent spectral analyses of observations by the Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA), Einstein Probe (EP), Swift-XRT, and NuSTAR demonstrate the consistency of parameters across different bands. Luminosity variations during the current outburst were tracked. The light curve of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) aligns with the X-ray data in both 2014 and 2024. Spin evolution over 10 years is studied after adding Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) data, improving the orbital parameters, with an estimated orbital period of 24.39 days, slightly differing from OGLE data. Despite intrinsic spin-up during outbursts, a spin-down of ~0.04s over 10.3 years is suggested. For the new outburst, the pulse profiles indicate a complicated energy-dependent shape, with decreases around 15 keV and 25 keV in the pulsed fraction, a first for an extragalactic source. Phase-resolved NuSTAR data indicate variations in parameters such as flux, photon index, and CRSF energy with rotation phase.

description: Background/Objectives: Bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) is an antagonist of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β type 1 signaling. BAMBI functions as an anti-fibrotic protein and exerts pro- as well as anti-cancerogenic activities. Our study aimed to correlate hepatocyte BAMBI protein levels in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with T stage, lymph node invasion, vessel invasion, grading, tumor size and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage, as well as with liver inflammation and fibrosis stages. Methods: Hepatocyte BAMBI protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in HCC tissues of 320 patients and non-tumor tissues of 51 patients. Results: In the HCC tissues of the whole cohort and sex-specific analysis, BAMBI protein was not related to T stage, vessel invasion, lymph node invasion, histologic grade, UICC stage and tumor size. Accordingly, BAMBI was not associated with overall survival, recurrence-free and metastasis-free survival. BAMBI protein levels in tumor and non-tumor tissues were not related to inflammation and fibrosis grade. BAMBI protein levels in HCC tissues and non-tumor tissues from HCC patients, which were analyzed by immunoblot in a small cohort and by immunohistochemistry in the tissues of patients described above, were similar. Notably, BAMBI protein was low-abundant in HCC tissues of hepatitis C virus (HCV) compared to hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients with comparable disease severity. Immunoblot analysis revealed reduced BAMBI protein in non-tumor tissues of patients with HCV in comparison to patients with HBV and normal human liver tissues. Conclusions: In summary, this analysis showed that hepatocyte BAMBI protein levels of patients with HCC are related to HCV infection rather than the severity of the underlying liver disease and cancer staging.

description: Recently, the German Federal Institute for Medicines and Medical Products restricted the use of fosfomycin in transrectal biopsy of the prostate (TRBP). Accordingly, the need for other antibiotic agents for prophylaxis in TRBP is urgent since antibiotic prophylaxis is mandatory in accordance with these guidelines. After the restriction of the use of ciprofloxacin, and before the use of fosfomycin in Germany was falsely allowed, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was evaluated as an alternative for antibiotic prophylaxis in TRBP. Regarding hospitalization for post-interventional infections, 359 patients at the Department of Urology of the University of Regensburg, at Caritas-St. Josef Medical Center as a single center, underwent TRBP between 2 July 2019 and 30 June 2020. Regarding antibiotic prophylaxis, the post-interventional hospitalization rate due to bacterial complications was relevant. Of the 359 patients, 10 (2.8%) had an infection requiring hospitalization post-TRBP. A total of 349 (97.2%) patients had no infection-related hospitalization. This corresponds to an incidence rate of only 2.8%. Referring to the previous infection rates under the now obsolete ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid can show a similar, if not tendentially even lower, risk of infection, and so this substance can be an alternative for antibiotic prophylaxis in TRBP. Another advantage is that, according to the WHO’s AWaRe classification, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is one of the so-called Access antibiotics. This study is limited as rectal swabs and urine cultures were not performed on every patient before TRBP.

description: Background: Obesity is a risk factor of several types of cancer, including breast cancer. In this study, we aimed to histologically characterize the adipose tissue of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in overweight/obese versus normal-weight patients. Methods: TNBC tissue sections from normal-weight (BMI<25) and overweight/obese patients (BMI≥25) were stained with antibodies against CD68, CD163, CD31, CD34, and vimentin. At the invasive tumor front, positive cells were counted in tumor adjacent adipose tissue (AT) and within cancer tissue (CT). Further, the size of the tumor-adjacent and distant mammary adipocytes was determined in perilipin stained sections. Expression of ANGPTL4, CD36 and FABP4, proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism, was analyzed in marginal tumor cells using an immune reactive score. Results: Overweight/obese TNBC patients had significantly larger adipocytes, higher numbers of CD163+ macrophages (BMI<25: 2.80 vs. BMI≥25: 10.45; p = 0.011) and lower numbers of CD31+ (BMI<25: 4.20 vs. BMI≥25: 2.40; p = 0.018) and CD34+ (BMI<25: 14.60 vs. BMI≥25: 5.20; p = 0.045) cells as markers of angiogenesis in the AT as well as a higher frequency of cancer-associated-fibroblast-like cells in the AT and CT (BMI<25: 7.60 vs. BMI≥25: 25.39 in total; p = 0.001). Moreover, expression of CD36 (BMI<25: 2.15 vs. BMI≥25: 2.60; p = 0.041) and ANGPTL4 (BMI<25: 6.00 vs. BMI≥25: 9.80; p = 0.026) was elevated in the TNBC cells of overweight/obese patients. Conclusions: Our data suggest BMI-related changes in the TME of overweight/obese TNBC patients, including hypertrophied adipocytes, reduced vascularization, more M2-like macrophages and CAF-like cells, and an increase in the expression of fatty acid metabolizing proteins in marginal tumor cells, all contributing to a more tumor-promoting, immunosuppressive environment.

description: The electoral system through which the popes are elected has peculiar characteristics, which make it difficult to use it as a model for other institutions. Nevertheless, recalling the history of the elections of the bishop of Rome, the oldest example of an electoral institute still in use, could be a stimulus for reflections that are useful even today. The changes that have taken place over time (from the assembly of the whole Christian community of Rome to the conclave of the cardinals), with repeated adjustments and reconsiderations, have adapted the system to very different situations. However, they have always maintained the original goal of choosing the one to guide the Roman church.

description: Motivation:
Bulk RNA expression data is widely accessible, whereas single-cell data is relatively scarce in comparison. However, single-cell data offers profound insights into the cellular composition of tissues and cell type-specific gene regulation, both of which remain hidden in bulk expression analysis.
Results:
Here, we present tissueResolver, an algorithm designed to extract single-cell information from bulk data, enabling us to attribute expression changes to individual cell types. When validated on simulated data tissueResolver outperforms competing methods. Additionally, our study demonstrates that tissueResolver reveals cell type-specific regulatory distinctions between the activated B-cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL).

description: We study a family of birational maps of smooth affine quadric 3-folds, {over the complex numbers}, of the form $x_1x_4-x_2x_3=$ constant, which seems to have some (among many others) interesting/unexpected characters: a) they are cohomologically hyperbolic, b) their second dynamical degree is an algebraic number but not an algebraic integer, and c) the logarithmic growth of their periodic points is strictly smaller than their algebraic entropy. These maps are restrictions of a polynomial map on $\mathbb{C}^4$ preserving each of the quadrics. The study in this paper is a mixture of rigorous and experimental ones, where for the experimental study we rely on Bertini which is a reliable and fast software for expensive numerical calculations in complex algebraic geometry.

description: A short fragment from Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Contrat social on the behaviour of the English voters and the limits of their participation in parliamentary elections may be a helpful starting point for a survey of some issues regarding the lessons that the historical development of the British electoral practice are likely to teach to the Italian reader who is used to pay some attention to the present debate on the electoral reform. Some attention is hereby paid to the basic features of the slow British approach to a modern democracy: the developments of the social ground of the vote; the publicity-secrecy debate and the enactment of the ballot; the shortfalls of the chaotic traditional electoral system; the Victorian milestones of the electoral reform; the connections between the modern idea of political representation and the actual performance of representative government under the pressure of the political parties, and the machinery of the first-past-the post system are rapidly sketched in their contents and with the support of some selected quotations from the thought of leading English and European thinkers ranging from the eighteenth century up to the Victorian age.

description: Background: Up to 13% of adolescents suffer from depressive disorders. Despite the high psychological burden, adolescents rarely decide to contact child and adolescent psychiatric services. To provide a low-barrier alternative, our long-term goal is to develop a chatbot for early identification of depressive symptoms. To test feasibility, we followed a two-step procedure, a) collection and linguistic analysis of psychiatric interviews with healthy adolescents and adolescents with depressive disorders and training of classifiers for detection of disorders from their answers in interviews, and b) generation of additional adolescent utterances via Chat GPT to improve the previously created model.

Methods: For step a), we collected standardized interviews with 53 adolescents, n = 40 with and n = 13 without depressive disorders. The transcribed interviews comprised 4,077 question-answer-pairs, with which we predicted the clinical rating (depressive/non-depressive) with use of a feedforward neural network that received BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) vectors of interviewer questions and patient answers as input. For step b), we used the answers of all 53 interviews to instruct Chat GPT to generate new similar utterances.

Results: In step a), the classifier based on BERT was able to discriminate answers by adolescents with and without depression with accuracies up to 97% and identified commonly used words and phrases. Evaluating the quality of utterances generated in step b), we found that prompt engineering for this task is difficult as Chat GPT performs poorly with long prompts and abstract descriptions of expectations on appropriate responses. The best approach was to cite original answers from the transcripts in order to optimally mimic the style of language used by patients and to find a practicable compromise between the length of prompts that Chat GPT can handle and the number of examples presented in order to minimize literal repetitions in Chat GPT’s output.

Conclusion: The results indicate that identifying linguistic patterns in adolescents’ transcribed verbal responses is promising and that Chat GPT can be leveraged to generate a large dataset of interviews. The main benefit is that without any loss of validity the synthetic data are significantly easier to obtain than interview transcripts.

description: Augmented sports videos, which combine visualizations and video effects to present data in actual scenes, can communicate insights engagingly and thus have been increasingly popular for sports enthusiasts around the world. Yet, creating augmented sports videos remains a challenging task, requiring considerable time and video editing skills. On the other hand, sports insights are often communicated using natural language, such as in commentaries, oral presentations, and articles, but usually lack visual cues. Thus, this work aims to facilitate the creation of augmented sports videos by enabling analysts to directly create visualizations embedded in videos using insights expressed in natural language. To achieve this goal, we propose a three-step approach - 1) detecting visualizable entities in the text, 2) mapping these entities into visualizations, and 3) scheduling these visualizations to play with the video - and analyzed 155 sports video clips and the accompanying commentaries for accomplishing these steps. Informed by our analysis, we have designed and implemented Sporthesia, a proof-of-concept system that takes racket-based sports videos and textual commentaries as the input and outputs augmented videos. We demonstrate Sporthesia's applicability in two exemplar scenarios, i.e., authoring augmented sports videos using text and augmenting historical sports videos based on auditory comments. A technical evaluation shows that Sporthesia achieves high accuracy (F1-score of 0.9) in detecting visualizable entities in the text. An expert evaluation with eight sports analysts suggests high utility, effectiveness, and satisfaction with our language-driven authoring method and provides insights for future improvement and opportunities.

Morphological, genic, and karyological information, however, sustains the generic separation of Nesoryzomys (Beaufort, 1963; Gardner and Patton, 1976; Patton and Hafner, 1983; Smith and Patton, 1999) and intimates that the group is an old Galapagos immigrant, originating ca. 3-3.5 million years ago (see Patton and Hafner, 1983).

Olympe de Gouges, "Les trois urnes, ou le salut de la patrie" (1793)
Creators: name: Criscenti Grassi, Antonia
Publisher: name: Spazio Filosofico
Year: 2017

description: With authentic revolutionary spirit, Olympe de Gouges, who became an essayist and a playwright at the time of the French Revolution, writes a manifest, Les Trois Urnes, in which she exhorts the exponents of the newly established power to call for free French elections and let the people take up political responsibility in terms of deciding the form of government that better fits the principles of the Declaration of Rights. The three urns are designed to receive the voting preferences of the French citizens so that they may freely opt among republic, federalism, and monarchy. Yet France is not ready for this, and considers the proposal an attack on freedom and the republic. Olympe will be the second woman to be guillotined after Queen Marie-Antoinette.

description: In February 2024, medical students in South Korea began submitting leave-of-absence requests in protest of a 65% increase in the number of medical school places in 2025. 14,000 medical students have boycotted classes and 12,000 doctors have resigned en masse. The 2024 Korean medical student collective action highlights the ‘power’ of medical students, the need for independent medical licensing bodies and the risks to the quality of medical education when places in medical schools are rapidly increased. The South Korean healthcare system is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world but there is now a significant risk that few new doctors will graduate and enter the workforce
in March 2025.
Un concetto obsoleto per la democrazia? Le elezioni e la crisi della rappresentanza politica

description: The aim of this essay is to investigate the concept of elections in relation to the crisis of political representation. The first objective is to review the details of the adoption of the “elective principle,” especially through the contribution of Bernard Manin. The second step is to consider the political effects of the adoption of the idea of “deselection.” Finally, we will try to understand whether the concept of elections is obsolete for contemporary democracy or whether the latest political transformations disclose a new and radical metamorphosis of its fundamental configuration.

description: Introduction: Numerous early-life risk factors are thought to significantly contribute to the development of psychological problems in toddlerhood. However, these factors have seldom been investigated concomitantly and longitudinally, and few studies include both mothers and fathers. This study examines the longitudinal impact of early environmental, parental, and child-specific risk factors on children’s internalizing and externalizing symptomatology at age 4.

Methods: Families were recruited from a perinatal center at birth and completed self-report questionnaires at birth, 4 weeks postpartum, 6 months postpartum, and annually thereafter. The final population-based sample consisted of n = 560 mothers (and fathers) who gave birth after June 2015, with children who turned 4 years old before March 31, 2021. The primary outcomes, children’s internalizing and externalizing symptomatology at age 4, were measured using the Strengthsand Difficulties Questionnaire. Linear mixed effect models were used to estimate growth curves for predictors between 4 weeks and 4 years postpartum, which were subsequently entered into multivariable linear regressions to predict internalizing and externalizing symptomatology at age 4.

Results: The study identified several key risk factors: environmental (lack of social support, lower parental education, male sex), parental (poor parental mental health, increased parenting stress, parental sleep difficulties) and child-specific (children’s low physical health, children’s reduced sleep quality, temperament).

Discussion: The findings underscore that most identified risk factors are related to children’s temperament, mental and physical health of parents, their experienced stress, and families’ social support networks. These insights highlight the importance of targeted interventions focusing on improving parental mental health, reducing stress, and enhancing social support to mitigate early-life psychological problems in children.

description: The Wide Area Linear Optical Polarimeter North (WALOP-North) is an optical polarimeter designed for the needs of the PASIPHAE survey. It will be installed on the 1.3m telescope at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. After commissioning, it will measure the polarization of millions of stars at high Galactic latitude, aiming to measure hundreds of stars per $deg^2$. The astronomical filter used in the instrument is a modified, polarimetrically-neutral broadband SDSS-r. This instrument will be pioneering one due to its large field-of-view (FoV) of $30\times 30$ $arcmin^2$ and high accuracy polarimetry measurements. The accuracy and sensitivity of the instrument in polarization fraction will be at the 0.1\% and 0.05\% level, respectively. Four separate 4k$\times$4k CCDs will be used as the instrument detectors, each imaging one of the $0°, 45°, 90°$ and $135°$ polarized FoV separately, therefore making the instrument a four-channel, one-shot polarimeter. Here, we present the overall optical design of the instrument, emphasizing on the aspects of the instrument that are different from WALOP-South. We also present a novel design of filters appropriate for polarimetry along with details on the management of the instrument size and its polarimetric calibration.

description: Background and Objectives: Orthognathic surgery is used to restore a correct anatomical and functional relationship between the jaws, with postoperative nasal septal deviation (NSD) being a common complication of Le Fort I osteotomy (LF-IO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of NSD after LF-IO and to identify possible risk factors. Materials and Methods: Pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 2018 to 2023 of 102 patients after LF-IO were analyzed. After categorizing the preoperative NSDs according to the Mladina classification, the next step was to measure the angle of deviation and classify the severity grades. Pre- and postoperative NSDs were compared using a paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test and postoperative changes in NSD were correlated with surgery-relevant characteristics by calculating Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Results: Postoperatively, an increase in NSD was observed in 62 cases and 35 patients showed a decrease. In both cases with an increase and a decrease in NSD, the preoperatively measured deviations showed a highly significant difference compared to postoperative NSDs (both p < 0.001). Age correlated significantly with increases in deviation (r = 0.28, p = 0.014, CI: −1.0–−0.068) and anterior maxillary displacement showed a significant correlation with a decrease in NSD (r = 0.296, p = 0.042, CI: 0.006–1.0). Gender, cranial and caudal movements of the maxilla had no influence on the results of the NSDs. Conclusions: LF-IO has an influence on NSD and can both intensify and attenuate it. In addition, the risk of an increase in nasal deviation after this surgical procedure rises with the patient’s age and decreases with anterior displacement of the maxilla.

description: Nesoryzomys indefessus (Thomas 1899)
[Nesoryzomys] indefessus (Thomas 1899), Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 4: 280.
Type Locality: Ecuador, Galápagos Archipelago, Santa Cruz (= Indefatigable) Isl, Academia Bay.
Vernacular Names: Santa Cruz Nesoryzomys.
Synonyms: Nesoryzomys narboroughi Heller 1904.
Distribution: Santa Cruz, Baltra (= South Seymour), and Fernandina (= Narborough) Isls.
Conservation: IUCN – Extinct as N. indefessus, Near Threatened as N. narboroughi. Nesorysomys i. indefessus is probably extinct, none documented since 1934 (see Patton and Hafner, 1983). Populations of N. i. narboroughi on Fernandina Isl, which lacks commensal Rattus and Mus, appear stable (see Dowler et al., 2000; Patton and Hafner, 1983).
Discussion: Patton and Hafner (1983:539) recommended that indefessus, narboroughi, and swarthi are "best considered races of a single species, which differ primarily in pelage color." Their analyses sustain this conclusion with regard to indefessus and narboroughi but not the strong craniodental differentiation demonstrated for N. swarthi.

description: Breast implant removal surgery (BIRS) has become
increasingly common. According to the International
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of worldwide
BIRS procedures nearly doubled from 2017 to 2022,
with more than 320,000 patients undergoing BIRS annually.
1 The demand for BIRS is escalating at a pace surpassing
that of other mammoplasties, heralding a potential
paradigm shift in how patients perceive breast implants.
We analyzed the multi-institutional National Surgical
Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) of the American
College of Surgeons (ACS) to understand trends over the
last 2 decades and identify potential drivers behind the
rise in BIRS.

description: The lasso is the most famous sparse regression and feature selection method. One reason for its popularity is the speed at which the underlying optimization problem can be solved. Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation (SLOPE) is a generalization of the lasso with appealing statistical properties. In spite of this, the method has not yet reached widespread interest. A major reason for this is that current software packages that fit SLOPE rely on algorithms that perform poorly in high dimensions. To tackle this issue, we propose a new fast algorithm to solve the SLOPE optimization problem, which combines proximal gradient descent and proximal coordinate descent steps. We provide new results on the directional derivative of the SLOPE penalty and its related SLOPE thresholding operator, as well as provide convergence guarantees for our proposed solver. In extensive benchmarks on simulated and real data, we show that our method outperforms a long list of competing algorithms.
