This #EHUikerketa evaluated the association between neighborhood disadvantage and serum cortisol, a physiologic marker of stress, and whether social support moderates this relationship in BCa patients.

Social support moderates the impact of neighborhood disadvantage on serum cortisol levels in post-surgical breast cancer patients
Neighborhood disadvantage generates chronic adversity and negatively impacts breast cancer (BCa) survival. Greater social support may correspond with …

This #EHUikerketa replaced the conventional PEDOT:PSS layer with the self-assembled monolayer EADR03, presenting, to the best of knowledge, the first report of a SAM employed as a hole-selective layer in Sn-LEDs.

Reducing Nonradiative Recombination Losses in Tin-Based Perovskite LEDs Utilizing a Self-Assembled Monolayer
Tin-based perovskites are emerging as less-toxic alternatives to their lead-based counterparts for optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, despite their great potential, the efficiency of pure red tin-based perovskite LEDs (Sn-LEDs) still lags behind th...

In this #EHUikerketa, ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to evaluate the in situ chemical evolution of the lithium metal surface under nitrogen gas up to 800 mTorr.

Probing the Surface Chemistry of Lithium Nitridation
Chemical synthesis of Li3N through lithium nitridation has potential to advance rechargeable battery and nitrogen fixation technology. However, studies of the conditions for forming Li3N on the lithium surface via nitrogen gas exposure report contradictory findings, such as the spontaneous reaction...

This #EHUikerketa used machine-learning and conducted analysis of variance and logistic regression to identify clinical variables to characterize cirrhosis risk and predict mortality within the ensuing 5-years.

Use of machine learning for early prediction of short-term mortality in veterans with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Background Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and affects >25% in the United States population. We hypothesized that clinical features present in electronic health records (EHR) could be extracted early to characterize patients with MASLD who are at high risk of early mortality and that machine learning models would predict mortality better than noninvasive assessments of liver disease/fibrosis. Methods Using previously published criteria for MASLD, applied to data from the US Veterans Affairs EHR, we identified a cohort of 13,071 patients between 2000 and 2018 who had an initial diagnosis of MASLD without clinical evidence of cirrhosis. We subsequently used machine-learning and conducted analysis of variance and logistic regression to identify clinical variables to characterize cirrhosis risk and predict mortality within the ensuing 5-years. Results The average age of the cohort was 60 years, had a BMI of 31, and 34% diabetes prevalence. Patients who progressed to cirrhosis were younger when first diagnosed with MASLD (56), had a higher BMI (33), and had significantly higher noninvasive fibrosis scores. Having diabetes at index MASLD diagnosis significantly increased the risk of developing cirrhosis and doubled the risk cirrhosis plus HCC (2.09 CI:1.217–3.63). Our machine-learning model performed significantly better than FIB-4 at predicting mortality within 5-years of being diagnosed with MASLD (AUC 83% vs 68%). Conclusion Our data suggest that machine learning models based on data extracted from the EHR early during MASLD can identify patients likely to develop cirrhosis and predict short term mortality.

Cracks in concrete don’t just look bad; they lead to deterioration over time and costly repairs. That is why developing concrete that resists cracking or heals itself is so important.

The limitations of bacteria-based self-healing led researchers to explore chemical-based mechanisms. These healing agents will react with water, air, cement or curing agent to fill in cracks quickly.

At the Japan Trench the fault zone narrows into a thin, clay-rich layer hidden just beneath the seafloor. That weak layer enabled the 2011 “megathrust” earthquake to rupture all the way to the trench.
