Article Abstract
Peak prioritization plays a key role in non-target analysis of complex samples in order to focus the elucidation efforts on potentially relevant substances. The present work shows the development of a computational workflow capable of detecting compounds that exhibit large variation in intensity over time. The developed approach is based on three open-source R packages (xcms, CAMERA and TIMECOURSE) and includes the use of the statistical test Multivariate Empirical Bayes Approach to rank the compounds based on the Hotelling T2 coefficient, which is an indicator of large concentration variations of unknown components. The approach was applied to replicate series of 24 h composite flow-proportional influent wastewater samples collected during 8 consecutive days. 60 events involving unknown substances with high fluctuation over time were successfully prioritized. 14 of those compounds were tentatively identified using HRMS/MS libraries, chemical databases, in-silico fragmentation tools, and retention time prediction models. Four compounds were confirmed with standards from which two never reported before in wastewater.

Purpose: To assess the intra-individual variability of serum progesterone (P) levels on embryo transfer (ET) day, when the same dose of intramuscular progesterone (IM-P) was used in two consecutive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Methods: A total of 75 patients undergoing two consecutive HRT-FET cycles in one year performed at Bahceci Ankara IVF Center between November 2019 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Serum P levels were measured at the 117th-119th hours of support by a single laboratory.

To explore the feasibility and accuracy of predicting respiratory tract infections (RTIs) using physiological data obtained from consumer-grade smartwatches. The study used smartwatches and paired mobile applications to continuously collect physiological parameters while participants slept. A personalized baseline model was established using multi-day data, followed by the construction of RTIs risk prediction algorithm based on deviations from physiological parameter trends.

This study investigated the correlation between the strength of correlated effective neural drive (END) to the antagonistic muscles and the fluctuations in neural/electrical and mechanical output around the joint during steady co-contraction, and whether the correlated END strength estimated from conventional surface EMG is correlated with that determined from motor unit (MU) discharges. Fourteen young male participants performed isometric steady co-contractions with their medial gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles at 10% of maximal EMG while sitting. Correlated END strength was quantified as the maximum value of the cross-correlation function between the conventional surface EMG signals and between MU discharges decomposed from high-density surface EMG of each muscle.

The environmental resistance exhibited by microorganisms is concerned with their ability to withstand and adapt to an array of detrimental environmental conditions, with their survival and reproductive success being threatened. Within the realm of biotechnology, which emphasizes stress resistance, a critical role in bacterial adaptive strategies to environmental fluctuations is assumed to be in the periplasmic space. An innovative methodology to augment bacterial tolerance to stress by employing a mucin-mimetic collagen analogue, designated as S1552 (which is secreted into the periplasmic compartment), is introduced by this investigation.

Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is a critical biomarker implicated in inflammation, immune regulation, coagulation, and various pathological conditions such as liver fibrosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers. However, its precise quantification remains challenging due to complex conformational dynamics, subtle abundance fluctuations, and interference from plasma proteins. Here, we present a label-free dynamic single-molecule sensing (LFDSMS) strategy for the sensitive and specific detection of A2M.
