Article Abstract

Recent research has documented impaired ability to resist interference from visual distractors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and suggests that this phenomenon may be more pronounced in young versus older children (Christ et al., Neuropsychology 25(6):690-701, 2011). The present study extends previous findings by examining visual filtering inhibitory ability within an older adolescent population. A flanker visual filtering task was administered to 36 adolescents with ASD and 44 adolescents without ASD (age: 11-20 years). Analysis revealed no evidence of group differences in visual filtering performance. Taken together with previous research, these results suggest that during early adolescence the previously observed impairment may resolve or compensatory strategies develop, allowing individuals with ASD to perform as well as their neurotypical peers.

The Northern Renaissance motif of Weibermacht-the "power of woman"-depicted female beauty as a destabilizing force capable of undermining male authority, intellect, and divine order. These visual allegories, featuring figures such as Phyllis, Judith, and Delilah, warned of the dangers inherent in seductive appearance. Far from neutral, beauty was rendered as morally volatile, triggering cultural anxiety through its capacity to challenge patriarchal norms.

CF-DTI: coarse-to-fine feature extraction for enhanced drug-target interaction prediction.

Accurate prediction of drug-target interactions (DTIs) is crucial for improving the efficiency and success rate of drug development. Despite recent advancements, existing methods often fail to leverage interaction features at multiple granular levels, resulting in suboptimal data utilization and limited predictive performance. To address these challenges, we propose CF-DTI, a coarse-to-fine drug-target interaction model that integrates both coarse-grained and fine-grained features to enhance predictive accuracy.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether low-dose CT imaging using an Sn filter can provide image quality sufficient for the differential diagnosis of cranial deformities in infants while maintaining an effective dose comparable to that of conventional radiography.

Methods: We calculated the effective dose for both head X-ray imaging and low-dose CT with an Sn filter. Phantom images acquired using a CT scanner equipped with an Sn filter were evaluated for bone suture visibility at various conditions (from 10 mAs to 50 mAs, every 10 mAs) using a 4-point visual grading scale.

A versatile fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanosensor (MIPs@O-CDs) for profiling ciprofloxacin (CIP) was innovatively developed using a controllable post-imprinting modification strategy. High-affinity molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as recognition elements granted nanosensor favorable anti-interference. Bright orange-emission carbon dots (O-CDs) as signal transducers demonstrated prominent reverse fluorescence response to CIP due to inner filter effect, ameliorating detection sensitivity and accuracy.
