Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Create Predictors, Enhance Molecular Understanding, and Implement Purposeful Programs for Myocardial Recovery by Frederick M. Lang, Benjamin C. Lee, Dor Lotan, Mert. R. Sabuncu, Veli K. Topkara

“…Despite the public health burden, medical and device therapies for HF significantly improve clinical outcomes and, in a subset of patients, can cause reversal of abnormalities in cardiac structure and function, termed “myocardial recovery.” By identifying novel patterns in high-dimensional data, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms can enhance the identification of key predictors and molecular drivers of myocardial recovery. …”

ARQUEOLOGÍA DE SUPERFICIE EN LA CUENCA LACUSTRE DEL TAMESI, HUASTECA SEPTENTRIONAL. Evidencias de la Dinámica Paleo Poblacional y Aprovechamiento del Espacio by Gustavo A. Ramírez Castilla

“…Evidence of the Paleo-population Dynamic and Use of Space ABSTRACT Surface surveys carried out in the Tamesí lake basin (2007 to 2009), allowed the location and sampling of 31 new archaeological sites. The identification of diagnostic ceramics with the application of a typology developed to characterize the function and context of the sites, allows to offer a panorama of the population dynamics for the study area, revealing a process that began in 900 BC, stopping drastically towards 200-400 AD, the region being depopulated until about 900 AD begins to repopulate with people linked to Tula and Cholula. …”

Lung Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Elastase-Induced Damage in an Animal Model of Emphysema by Donato Cappetta, Antonella De Angelis, Giuseppe Spaziano, Gioia Tartaglione, Elena Piegari, Grazia Esposito, Loreta Pia Ciuffreda, Angela Liparulo, Manuela Sgambato, Teresa Palmira Russo, Francesco Rossi, Liberato Berrino, Konrad Urbanek, Bruno D’Agostino

“…Thus, the aim of this study was to test the effects of the intratracheal administration of lung-derived mouse MSCs in a model of elastase-induced emphysema. Pulmonary function (static lung compliance) showed an increased stiffness induced by elastase, while morphometric findings (mean linear intercept and tissue/alveolar area) confirmed the severity of alveolar disruption. …”
