Structural equality and support index in early childhood education

JAMA Network Open

2024-08-30

(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cohort study found that early childhood programming is associated with social determinants of health in adulthood. These findings reinforce the importance of early childhood education in addressing health disparities and contributing to healthier, more equitable communities and suggest that educational attainment is a key mechanism for health promotion.

Automated HER2 scoring in breast cancer images using deep learning and pyramid sampling

2024-08-30

HER2 is a critical protein that plays a pivotal role in breast cancer cell growth and aggressiveness. Its expression level is a key indicator for treatment decisions, including the use of HER2-targeted therapies. Currently, HER2 status assessment relies heavily on immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of tissue slides followed by manual inspection by pathologists. This process, though widely adopted, suffers from several limitations, including poor reproducibility among pathologists and extended turnaround times. These challenges are further exacerbated in resource-constrained ...

Functional information offers individualized adaptive cancer therapies

2024-08-30

BUFFALO, NY- August 30, 2024 – A new editorial was published in Volume 11 of Oncoscience on July 19, 2024, entitled, “Functional information offers individualized adaptive cancer therapies.” As introduced in this editorial, the Oxford Computer Science Dictionary offers both general and technical definitions of information. Generally, information is anything that can cause a change in a human mind's opinion about the current state of the real world. Technically, information is anything that reduces the uncertainty of a system's state. Claude Shannon provided an objective measure of information, known as entropy (H), by mathematically defining ...

Low-quality video target detection based on EEG signal using eye movement alignment

2024-08-30

In a research paper, scientists from the Beijing Institute of Technology proposed an event related potential (ERP) extraction method to solve the asynchronous problem of low-quality video target detection, designed the time-frequency features based on continuous wavelet transform, and established an EEG decoding model based on neural characterization. The average decoding accuracy of 84.56% is achieved in pseudo-online test. The new research paper, published July 4 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, introduces a low-quality ...

Data science coalition invites teachers and parents to have a say in the future of data science learning

2024-08-30

CHICAGO — Data science and data literacy are rapidly becoming essential skills for success across industry sectors and career fields. Now, Data Science 4 Everyone (DS4E) is inviting everyone — teachers, higher education faculty, parents, and students — to help shape what learning in this crucial area will look like. It’s an area essential to success in today’s world and tomorrow’s. Nurses use data science skills when they read a patient’s chart; engineers analyze data to design hardware and products; and business owners use data to guide ...

Upcycling excess carbon dioxide with tiny microbes

2024-08-30

While some microbes can make people sick or spoil food, others are critical for survival. These tiny organisms can also be engineered to make specific molecules. Researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have rewired one such microbe to help tackle greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: It takes in carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and produces mevalonate, a useful building block for pharmaceuticals. The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to widespread global warming. To begin to address the problem, greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2, need to be significantly ...

ETRI’s CDMA commercialization technology honored as a ‘milestone’ by IEEE

2024-08-30

Korean researchers announced that Korea’s Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) commercialization technology, which was the world’s first successfully commercialized CDMA technology in 1996, has been listed on the ‘Milestones Program,’ a world-renowned program hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). As a result, it has become Korea’s first technology to be recognized by a world-class association to contribute to the development of mankind and industrial innovation. Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced on June 11 that their ...

Continuation vs discontinuation of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors before major noncardiac surgery

2024-08-30

About The Study: Among patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery, a continuation strategy of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors before surgery was not associated with a higher rate of postoperative complications than a discontinuation strategy.

RNA template-based targeted gene editing in mammalian cells

2024-08-30

A new article in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy describes the consensus reached by invited experts who participated in a meeting to evaluate the potential carcinogenicity of gene therapies. Click here to read the article now. The participants discuss the definition of vector genotoxicity, sources of uncertainty, suitable toxicological endpoints for genotoxic assessment of gene therapies, and future research needs. The proposed recommendations will help guide the development of regulatory guidelines for the non-clinical toxicological assessment of gene therapy products. Jan ...

What a submerged ancient bridge discovered in a Spanish cave reveals about early human settlement

Their findings narrow a historical gap between the settlement timelines of the eastern and western Mediterranean regions. TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 27, 2024) – A new study led by the University ...

AI tool maps out cell metabolism with precision

2024-08-30

Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce energy - collectively known as metabolism - is essential in biology. However, analyzing the vast amounts of data on cellular processes to determine metabolic states is a complex task. Modern biology generates large datasets on various cellular activities. These "omics" datasets provide insights into different cellular functions, such as gene activity and protein levels. However, integrating and making sense of these datasets to understand cell metabolism is challenging. Kinetic models offer a way to decode this complexity by providing mathematical representations of cellular metabolism. ...
