We report the NMR resonance assignments of N-terminal signal sequence deleted secretory protein Rv0603 (∆-Rv0603) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. ∆-Rv0603 displayed good peak yield and signal dispersion in 2D [N-H] HSQC spectrum, which prompted us to proceed for resonance assignments on this construct. Standard triple-resonance experiments for resonance assignments were recorded on [U-N]-∆Rv0603 and [U-N, C]-∆Rv0603 samples. We obtained 97% of backbone H, 98% of C, 98% of H, 96% of C´, 100% of C, 100% of H and 98% of side-chain H chemical shifts. This protein does not show any sequence similarity to any other protein of known structure. Determination of its solution structure would facilitate understanding of its biological function.

Introduction: Distraction methods such as virtual reality and cold vibration devices (Buzzy) are recommended during vascular access. Few studies focused on distraction during intramuscular injection.
Methods: This study evaluated the effect of distraction methods on procedure-related pain, fear, and anxiety during the intramuscular injection in children aged 5 to 12 years in the pediatric emergency department.

Platelet Factor 4 (PF4), also known as CXCL4, is a CXC chemokine crucial for hemostasis, inflammation, and immune responses. Under physiological conditions PF4 assembles into asymmetric tetramers (31.2 kDa) that are dimers of dimers with highly flexible N-terminal regions.

Resonant three-photon ionization spectroscopy has been used to study the late 4d and 5d transition metal carbides RuC, RhC, OsC, IrC, and PtC. These species, like most diatomic transition metals with open nd subshells, exhibit an exceptionally high density of states near the ground separated atom limit. Spin-orbit and nonadiabatic interactions provide a means for the molecules to rapidly dissociate as soon as the bond dissociation energy (BDE) is exceeded.

Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing FALD, but has limitations. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a popular non-invasive method for evaluating liver stiffness and fibrosis in FALD; however, no unified view exists.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT (GPT-4o) in interpreting free-text breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports by assigning BI-RADS categories and recommending appropriate clinical management steps in the absence of explicitly stated BI-RADS classifications.
Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, a total of 352 documented full-text breast MRI reports of at least one identifiable breast lesion with descriptive imaging findings between January 2024 and June 2025 were included in the study. Incomplete reports due to technical limitations, reports describing only normal findings, and MRI examinations performed at external institutions were excluded from the study.
