Article Abstract
A set of covalently linked phenyl-amidophenyl-substituted porphyrin amphiphiles with n-C15H31 tails have been synthesized and completely characterized. These amphiphiles form good Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films at the air/water interface. Mean molecular areas for the series were measured from the isotherms and found to increase as the number of aliphatic chains increased from one to four. No influence of the subphase pH was observed on the isotherms. LB films can be transferred successfully onto different solid surfaces. The LB films were characterized using tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). Bis-, tris-, and tetra-substituted porphyrins were found to be fairly good film-forming amphiphiles, whereas irregular aggregates were seen in the case of the monosubstituted porphyrin amphiphile. Multilayers were also formed with tetra-substituted amphiphiles on mica. Detailed AFM studies of tetra-substituted amphiphiles have been carried out to investigate the effect of preparation procedure and solid substrates on film formation and transfer. The absorption and fluorescence spectra for the amphiphiles in solution and LB films deposited onto mica and glass were recorded, which demonstrated the successful transfer of LB films onto the substrates and provided more information about the arrangement of porphyrin molecules within the LB films. For comparison, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and the cast thin films of the amphiphiles were prepared and characterized.

Department of Population Health Sciences, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Introduction: We compared and measured alignment between the Health Level Seven (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard used by electronic health records (EHRs), the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) standards used by industry, and the Uniform Data Set (UDS) used by the Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers (ADRCs).
Methods: The ADRC UDS, consisting of 5959 data elements across eleven packets, was mapped to FHIR and CDISC standards by two independent mappers, with discrepancies adjudicated by experts.
Results: Forty-five percent of the 5959 UDS data elements mapped to the FHIR standard, indicating possible electronic obtainment from EHRs.

Symphonia globulifera (Clusiaceae) has emerged as a model organism in tropical forest ecology and evolution due to its significant ecological role and complex biogeographical history. Originating from Africa, this species has independently colonized Caribbean, Central and South America three times, becoming a key component of tropical ecosystems across these regions. Despite the ecological importance of S.

Objective: To develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting the risk of hyperuricemia (HUA) in perimenopausal women.
Methods: In this study, physical examination information of perimenopausal women was collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China. We utilized the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) and binary logistic regression to investigate the risk factors of HUA among perimenopausal women.
Identifying Features of Electroencephalography Associated with Improved Awareness in Persistent Vegetative State via Multiscale Entropy: A Machine Learning Modeling Study.

Accurate differentiation between persistent vegetative state (PVS) and minimally conscious state and estimation of recovery likelihood in patients in PVS are crucial. This study analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) metrics to investigate their relationship with consciousness improvements in patients in PVS and developed a machine learning prediction model. We retrospectively evaluated 19 patients in PVS, categorizing them into two groups: those with improved consciousness ( = 7) and those without improvement ( = 12).

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.
Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.
