The fraction of sp-hybridized carbons () and the fraction of stereogenic carbons () are two widely employed scores of molecular complexity with strong links to biologically relevant features. However, they do not comprehensively express molecular topology, and they often do not match the chemical intuition of complexity. We propose the spacial score (SPS) as an empirical scoring system that builds upon the principle underlying and and expresses the spacial complexity of a compound in a uniform manner on a highly granular scale. The size-normalized SPS (nSPS) can differentiate distributions of natural products and synthetic compounds and is applicable in the analysis of biological activity data. Analysis of the ChEMBL database revealed general trends of increasing selectivity and potency with increasing nSPS. SPS can also be used advantageously in planning and analysis of synthesis programs for direct comparison of chemical transformations and intermediates in reaction sequences.

The possibility of observing correlation-driven charge migration has been a driving force behind theoretical and experimental developments in the field of attosecond molecular science since its inception. Despite significant accomplishments, the unambiguous experimental observation of this quantum beating remains elusive. In this work, we present a method to selectively trigger such dynamics in molecules predicted to exhibit long-lived electron coherence.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence is rising globally, yet early diagnosis remains challenging. Our objective is to develop a non-invasive, preoperative tool to predict EC risk using machine learning (ML) techniques.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included clinical data from patients with endometrial lesions at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2014 to August 2024.

This paper investigates the super-resolution reconstruction technology of coarse granular particle images for embankment construction in earth/rock dams based on Real-ESRGAN, aiming to improve the quality of low-resolution particle images and enhance the accuracy of particle shape analysis. The paper begins with a review of traditional image super-resolution methods, introducing Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and Real-ESRGAN, which effectively enhance image detail recovery through perceptual loss and adversarial training. To improve the generalization ability of the super-resolution model, the study expands the morphological database of earth/rock dam particles by employing a multi-modal data augmentation strategy, covering a variety of particle shapes.

Purpose: Conventional intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) operative procedures with tandem-ring (TR) applicators utilizing standard rectal retractor (RR) blades for rectum separation did not allow for optimal rectum sparing, especially in patients with roomy vagina. This limitation was overcome by modifying the technique by placing customized vaginal packing (VP) alongside a standard RR blade based on the patient specific spacial constraints to supplement the rectum displacement. The paper compares the modified technique with the conventional technique of using RR alone on the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements-38 (ICRU-38) rectum and bladder point doses.

Inorganic hydroxyapatite microcapsules are innovative drug delivery devices tailored for oral drug delivery. They were designed as novel excipients, the so-called template inverted particles (TIP), to assist in preparing the orally disintegrating tablets. This study characterized the drug loading capacity using 11 clinically relevant drugs covering all BCS classes, focusing on midazolam HCl, ivermectin, ibuprofen, and metronidazole benzoate.
