The contents of potassium, magnesium, sodium, manganese, ferrum and zinc were determined by flame spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry respectively. The dataset was clustered by fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis. It is shown that the results of the FCM clustering analysis are more accurate than those of the hierarchical cluster analysis, and it is with positive meaning to apply FCM clustering analysis to estimating the producing area of tobaccos.

The ability of parasitoid wasps to precisely locate hosts in complex environments is a key factor in suppressing pest populations. Chemical communication plays an essential role in mediating insect behaviors such as locating food sources, hosts, and mates. Odorant receptors (ORs) are the key connection between external odors and olfactory nerves.

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Capturing the dynamic changes in patients' internal states as they approach death due to fatal diseases remains a major challenge in understanding individual pathologies and improving end-of-life care. However, existing methods primarily focus on specific test values or organ dysfunction markers, failing to provide a comprehensive view of the evolving internal state preceding death. To address this, we analyzed electronic health record (EHR) data from a single institution, including 8,976 cancer patients and 77 laboratory parameters, by constructing continuous mortality prediction models based on gradient-boosting decision trees and leveraging them for temporal analyses.

BackgroundAllostatic load (AL), an umbrella term for the physiological response to chronic stress, is different in women and men. AL has also been associated with all-cause dementia.ObjectiveThe current study investigates if AL clusters differently in men and women, and if these sex-based clusters are associated with all-cause dementia.
