Article Abstract
Acute stroke patients transferred to thrombectomy capable centers (TCC), undergo a CT head exam upon arrival at the TCC to evaluate for ASPECTS decay and intracranial hemorrhage. In patients who received iodinated contrast prior to transfer, parenchymal enhancement may simulate hemorrhage on this post-transfer CT. We report two cases utilizing CT spectral imaging to differentiate between parenchymal contrast enhancement and hemorrhage in this setting. TCC may consider dual-energy or dual-layer (spectral) imaging for this patient cohort.

The rice root system mediates nutrient uptake while adapting to tillage, management, and environmental changes. While optimized nitrogen (N) supply is known to enhance 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) biosynthesis in fragrant rice, the underlying mechanisms linking nitrogen availability, root development, and their combined effects on physiological processes and aroma formation remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a pot experiment employing two fragrant rice cultivars (Huahangxiangyinzhen and Qingxiangyou19xiang) under three nitrogen regimes (0, 1.

Radical esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal cancer, but is frequently complicated by postoperative events, most notably anastomotic leakage. Anastomotic leakage, occurring in up to 30% of cases, is multifactorial in origin and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. This review aims to summarize current management strategies, highlight emerging therapies, and identify persistent clinical challenges related to this complication.

The nanoscale spatial arrangement of T cell receptor (TCR) ligands critically influences their activation potential in CD8 T cells, yet a comprehensive understanding of the molecular landscape induced by engagement with native peptide-MHC class I (pMHC-I) remains incomplete. Using DNA origami nanomaterials, we precisely organize pMHC-I molecules into defined spatial configurations to systematically investigate the roles of valencies, inter-ligand spacings, geometric patterns, and molecular flexibility in regulating T cell function. We find that reducing the inter-ligand spacing to ∼7.

Developing artificial hosts with temperature-driven conformational switching behaviors facilitates our understanding of the temperature-dependent allostery and adaptation mechanisms in natural recognition systems. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of three pairs of water-soluble, enantiomeric binaphthalene-based tetraimidazolium macrocycles (SS/RR-1•4Cl- - SS/RR-3•4Cl-) as artificial hosts for exploring sequence-selective recognition of dinucleotides in aqueous media. Owing to the reversible rotational conformation of axially chiral binaphthyl units, SS-1•4Cl- demonstrates the conformational switching, converting from cis-conformation (SS-1) to trans-conformation (SS-1) by increasing temperature, thereby causing the recognition cavity to transition from a closed to an open state.

Background: Y69H (p.Y89H) variant hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis causes meningeal amyloidosis, with mutant TTR deposits localized to the leptomeninges and vitreous body.
Methods: The effect of tafamidis meglumine on neurological disorders, such as the frequency of transient focal neurological episodes (TFNEs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and TTR levels in cerebrospinal fluid, was investigated in two patients diagnosed with Y69H ATTRv mutation.
