BACKGROUND: An unhealthy diet is a major contributor to several noncommunicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide. Additionally, our food system has significant impacts on the environment. The EAT-Lancet Commission has recommended a healthy diet that preserves global environmental resources.OBJECTIVE: This prospective study evaluated the associ

Design problems in aerospace engineering often require numerous evaluations of expensive-to-evaluate high-fidelity models, resulting in prohibitive computational costs. One way to address the computational cost is through building surrogates, such as deep neural networks (DNNs). However, DNNs may only be an effective surrogate when sufficient evaluations of the high-fidelity model are required suc

Over the past decade, the healthcare industries have been facing the issue of resource scarcity due to socio-political wars, the COVID-19 pandemic, the luxury lifestyles of people, and the prevalence of single-use medical devices. The circular economy (CE) can be vital in accommodating the evolving patient and provider demands. The CE defies the conventional take-make-dispose process and advocates

Objective: We investigated diagnostic utility of phosphorylated tau 217 and 181 (ptau217, ptau181), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid beta 42 and 40 (Aβ42, Aβ40), and neurofilament light (NfL) to distinguish biomarker-defined Alzheimer disease (AD) from non-AD conditions, in a heterogenous clinical cohort of younger people. Methods: Plasma biomarkers were analysed using ultrasensitiv

Background: Compared to negative experiences and ill health, little attention has been paidto positive experiences connected to being transgender and gender diverse (TGD).Aim: The aim of the current study was to explore TGD people’s positive experiences in depth.Methods: In total, 33 TGD people were interviewed. Transcripts were analyzed using reflexivethematic analysis.Results: Results show that

The nonvolatile cryogenic memories can play an important role in realizing energy-efficient and scalable low-temperature electronics for quantum computing and future high-performance computing systems. In this article, we evaluate he cryogenic performance of HfOx-based resistive random access memory (RRAM) and demonstrate that the addition of extremely thin ∼0.5-nm AlOx barrier layers enables a h

ECHOES OF THE OIL SPILL OF 2019: ASSESSMENT OF THE PRESENCE OF PAH AND BTEX IN PRODUCTS FROM FISHING. The 2019 oil spill in Brazil caused widespread contamination in the Brazilian coast, posing risks to both animal and human health through seafood consumption. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate seafood samples from different locations impacted by the oil spill. For this purpose, 44 samples un

Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) have gained substantial interest in the energy and optoelectronics field. MHPs in nanostructure forms, such as nanocrystals and nanowires (NWs), have further expanded the horizons for perovskite nanodevices in geometry and properties. A partial anion exchange within the nanostructure, creating axial heterojunctions, has significantly augmented the potential applicat

Extracellular plaques in Alzheimer’s disease contain Aβ peptides and ganglioside lipids such as GM1. Aβ monomers self-assemble into beta-sheet-rich fibrils when their concentration exceeds solubility, while GM1 monomers form spherical micelles above their critical concentration. This study examines the self-assembly of Aβ in the first two papers and its co-assembly with GM1 in the last two. In Pap

BACKGROUND: A large proportion of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by environmental factors.METHODS: By applying multiomics mRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and DNA methylation platforms in biopsies from 20 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D, we aimed to delineate the epigenetic and transcriptional machinery underlying non-genetic muscle insulin resistance in T2D
