Article Abstract
The overlap concentration * of sodium polystyrene sulfonate in water is calculated using multichain atomistic and coarse grained (CG) simulations for a range of chain lengths. Fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations are carried out for = 32-192 monomers. The CG model was parameterized to match the end-to-end distance from the atomistic simulations at small and allows us to simulate a much larger . Treating the hydrophobic backbone by inclusion of attraction between monomers is an essential addition to the CG model. The simulation * are in agreement with experimental data, yet at *, the chains are not fully stretched, even for as large as 1200. This implies that none of the experimental systems are in the scaling regime and to reach the scaling regime for NaPSS chains much longer than = 1200 are required.

Background/objectives: Respiratory viruses circulate year-round and can spread indoors via inhalation of airborne particles. Effective ventilation and filtration may reduce transmission, particularly in school settings where children and staff spend significant time. This study examines the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation in schools on respiratory virus detection.

Background And Aim: The global rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) poses a serious threat to human and animal health. Close proximity between humans and domestic animals may facilitate zoonotic transmission of MDR strains, underscoring the need for integrated surveillance strategies. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity, resistance mechanisms, and virulence gene profiles of isolates from domestic animals and humans in Mato Grosso, Brazil, within the One Health framework.

The maintenance of extracellular fluid (ECF) osmolality and sodium concentration ([Na]) near optimal "set point" values sustains physiological functions and prevents pathological states such as hypo- and hypernatremia. The peptide hormones vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) and oxytocin (a natriuretic hormone in rats) play key roles in this process. These hormones are synthesized by hypothalamic magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) that project to the neurohypophysis and are released into the systemic circulation in response to rises in ECF osmolality or [Na].

Vitamin B12 is a vital water-soluble vitamin containing a central cobalt atom within its corrin ring structure. It exists in several derivatives, among which methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdCbl) are the biologically active forms that serve as cofactors in essential enzymatic reactions. Although the neurological and hematological consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency have been extensively studied, its role in immune regulation remains less well understood.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopic imaging combines the molecular specificity of vibrational spectroscopy with imaging capabilities of microscopy, potentially allowing for simultaneous quantitative observations of drugs and cellular response. However, accurately quantifying drug concentration within changing cells is complicated by the overlap between exogenous molecules' and native cellular spectra. Here, we address this challenge by developing a derivative of the widely used chemotherapeutic doxorubicin as a spectral bioprobe (DOX-IR) using a strongly absorbing metal-carbonyl moiety [(Cp)Fe(CO)].
