We propose a simple method for simulating a general class of nonunitary dynamics as a linear combination of Hamiltonian simulation (LCHS) problems. LCHS does not rely on converting the problem into a dilated linear system problem or on the spectral mapping theorem. The latter is the mathematical foundation of many quantum algorithms for solving a wide variety of tasks involving nonunitary processes, such as the quantum singular value transformation. The LCHS method can achieve optimal cost in terms of state preparation. We also demonstrate an application for open quantum dynamics simulation using the complex absorbing potential method with near-optimal dependence on all parameters.

Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects 30% to 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional outcomes and quality of life. This study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked brain activation and its potential for stratifying the severity in patients with PSCI.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanchong Central Hospital between June 2023 and April 2024.

Significance: The spatial and temporal distribution of fluorophore fractions in biological and environmental systems contains valuable information about the interactions and dynamics of these systems. To access this information, fluorophore fractions are commonly determined by means of their fluorescence emission spectrum (ES) or lifetime (LT). Combining both dimensions in temporal-spectral multiplexed data enables more accurate fraction determination while requiring advanced and fast analysis methods to handle the increased data complexity and size.

Background: Prospective studies suggest that prenatal exposure to chemical neurotoxicants and maternal stress increase risk for psychiatric problems. However, most studies have focused on childhood outcomes, leaving adolescence-a critical period for the emergence or worsening of psychiatric symptoms-relatively understudied. The complexity of prenatal coexposures and adolescent psychiatric comorbidities, particularly among structurally marginalized populations with high exposure burdens, remains poorly understood.

Body composition metrics such as bodyweight, body condition score (BCS) and muscle condition score (MCS) can be readily recorded as part of veterinary examinations in ageing cats. However, the description of how these parameters change with age, whilst accounting for sex and age-related morbidity, is limited. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate age, sex and health-related changes in bodyweight, BCS and MCS in client-owned pet cats.

Background: Globally, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is among the primary causes of mortality. The ideal approach for blood pressure (BP) management for patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a topic of ongoing debate. Current guidelines on BP management lack specific recommendations for STEMI patients undergoing PCI, resulting in substantial individual variability and uncertainties in clinical treatment strategies.
