Purpose: To determine the accuracy of a new machine learning-based open-source IOL formula (PEARLS-DGS) in 100 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery and had a history of laser refractive surgery for myopic defects.
Methods: The setting for this retrospective study was HUMANITAS Research Hospital, Milan, Italy. Data from 100 patients with a history of photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis were retrospectively analyzed to assess the accuracy of the formula. The primary outcome measures were absolute refractive prediction error, refractive prediction error, and cumulative distribution of absolute refractive prediction error within multiple thresholds. These parameters were estimated post-hoc using the Shammas, Haigis-L, Barrett True-K without history, ASCRS calculator average, EVO, Hoffer QST, and PEARL-DGS formulas. The cumulative distribution of the absolute refraction prediction error was analyzed and statistically tested.
Results: EVO 2.0 showed the lowest median absolute error (MedAE) of 0.36 diopters (D), followed by Hoffer QST (0.38 D) and PEARL-DGS (0.41 D). The cumulative distribution of the absolute refractive prediction error at ±0.50 D threshold showed the following ranking: Hoffer QST (0.65), PEARL-DGS (0.61), EVO 2.0 (0.60), Barrett-True-K (0.56), Haigis-L, ASCRS (0.52), and Shammas (0.45). A significant difference was recorded between Shammas and Hoffer QST only at this threshold ( < .05). Statistical differences could not be detected otherwise.
Conclusions: The new PEARL-DGS IOL formula demonstrated similar accuracy and comparability in median refractive prediction error to the other current formulas in eyes with a history of myopic laser vision correction. The cumulative distribution of refractive prediction error of the PEARLS-DGS performed well even compared to the Hoffer QST results.

Organometallic catalysis lies at the heart of numerous industrial processes that produce bulk and fine chemicals. The search for transition states and screening for organic ligands are vital in designing highly active organometallic catalysts with efficient reaction kinetics. However, identifying accurate transition states necessitates computationally intensive quantum chemistry calculations.

Although many real-world time series are complex, developing methods that can learn from their behavior effectively enough to enable reliable forecasting remains challenging. Recently, several machine-learning approaches have shown promise in addressing this problem. In particular, the echo state network (ESN) architecture, a type of recurrent neural network where neurons are randomly connected and only the read-out layer is trained, has been proposed as suitable for many-step-ahead forecasting tasks.

Background: Staging laparoscopy (SL) is an essential procedure for peritoneal metastasis (PM) detection. Although surgeons are expected to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions intraoperatively, this task remains difficult and error-prone. The aim of this study was to develop a novel multimodal machine learning (MML) model to differentiate PM from benign lesions by integrating morphologic characteristics with intraoperative SL images.

Unrelated pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, use a common short linear motif (SLiM) to interact with cellular kinases of the RSK (p90 S6 ribosomal kinase) family. Such a "DDVF" (D/E-D/E-V-F) SLiM occurs in the leader (L) protein encoded by picornaviruses of the genus , including Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), Boone cardiovirus (BCV), and Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). The L-RSK complex is targeted to the nuclear pore, where RSK triggers FG-nucleoporins hyperphosphorylation, thereby causing nucleocytoplasmic trafficking disruption.

Folding and unfolding in molecules as simple as short hydrocarbons and as complicated as large proteins continue to be an active research field. Here, we investigate folding in n-C14H30 using both density functional theory (DFT)/B3LYP calculations of 27 772 local minima and a kinetic transition network calculated for a previously reported potential energy surface (PES) obtained by fitting roughly 250 000 B3LYP energies. In addition to generating a database of minima and the transition states that connect them, these calculations and the PES based on them have been used to develop a simple and accurate model for the energy landscape.
