To study the structure and dynamics of proteins by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), sequence-specific assignment is needed, which can be obtained by acquiring and analyzing multiple triple-resonance experiments with the three-dimensional TROSY-HNCA, the most sensitive stand-alone experiment with which sequential assignment is, in principle, possible. However, gaining an unambiguous assignment solely from this spectrum is generally not possible because amino acid-type information cannot be gleaned only from the C shifts and the low resolution in the C dimension, which is limited by the homonuclear coupling of the C and C nuclei. Here, super-resolution NMR is applied to the TROSY-HNCA and HNcoCA experiments, yielding pseudo-decoupling, which results in a four- to fivefold resolution enhancement in the C dimension, essential for the assignment, which allows for straightforward assignment of proteins as large as 500 residues based on simulations.

Background: The role of metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) remains unclear. Prostate Cancer Study 9 (PCS-9) aimed to evaluate the benefits of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in addition to standard systemic therapy in patients with oligometastatic CRPC.
Methods: This open-label, randomised, phase 2 trial was conducted across 13 Canadian academic and community oncology centres.
Importance: Effective and well-tolerated pharmacotherapies for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, are needed.
Objective: To determine the dose-response relationship of MM120 (lysergide D-tartrate) in adults with moderate to severe GAD.
Design, Settings, And Participants: This phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 198 adults aged 18 to 74 years with a primary GAD diagnosis who presented with moderate to severe symptoms (defined by a Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale [HAM-A] score ≥20) and was conducted at 22 outpatient psychiatric research sites in the US from August 2022 to August 2023.

The marketing and commercialization of infant formula have been identified as major barriers to breastfeeding, influencing parental feeding choices through a wide range of strategies that include persuasive packaging elements. This work explores how mothers in Uruguay perceive infant formula packaging and examines the influence of marketing elements on their perceptions and behavioral intentions. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining semi-structured interviews with a randomized controlled trial.

Cervical cancer is a serious health concern that entails high risks for individuals due to delayed detection and treatment worldwide. Formal screening for the condition is challenging in developing countries due to several factors, including medical costs, access to healthcare facilities, and delayed symptom manifestation. A blockchain-enabled healthcare system for cervical cancer risk prediction ensures data security, privacy, and accurate risk assessment.

Introduction/background: This study investigates how social exclusion experiences influence antisocial risk-taking behaviors in adolescents by examining the interplay between classroom social acceptance and experimentally induced social exclusion.
Methods: Using a sequential experimental design with students in years 7-9 of the German school system (ages 12-16), we first assessed participants' classroom social acceptance within their classrooms through sociometric measures, then randomly assigned them to experience either experimentally induced social inclusion ( = 65) or exclusion ( = 64) using the Cyberball paradigm, and finally measured their antisocial risk-taking using an adapted Columbia Card Task as well as moral disengagement.
Results: Results revealed a complex relationship whereby social exclusion effects were moderated by pre-existing classroom social acceptance status.
