“…In addition, the rate of decrease in the internal friction angle also shows a similar pattern. (3) The cohesion and the internal friction angle of samples both tend to increase first and then decrease with the rise of the initial moisture content, and the critical initial moisture content is near the optimal moisture content of 15%. (4) Both the cohesion and the internal friction angle of the samples increase with dry density growth. …”

Spectral parameters modulation and source localization of blink-related alpha and low-beta oscillations differentiate minimally conscious state from vegetative state/unresponsive w... by Luca Bonfiglio, Andrea Piarulli, Umberto Olcese, Paolo Andre, Pieranna Arrighi, Antonio Frisoli, Bruno Rossi, Massimo Bergamasco, Maria Chiara Carboncini

“…Although delta BROs were directly correlated to the degree of consciousness impairment in patients with disorders of consciousness, they failed to differentiate vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) from minimally conscious state (MCS). In the present study, we have extended the analysis of BROs to frequency bands other than delta in the attempt to find a biological marker that could support the differential diagnosis between VS/UWS and MCS. …”

P-120 POLYMORPHISMS OF HLA (LOCI DR 4*) IN HISPANICS AS RISK FACTOR FOR DE-NOVO AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION by Adriana Varon Puerta, Luisa Fernanda Santos Cuervo, Oscar Alfredo Beltran Galvis, Martin Alonso Garzon Olarte, Cristina Torres, Jairo Rivera, Gilberto Andres Mejia

“…Results and Discussion: It is found that the frequency expressed as a percentage of individuals with the characteristic (HLA DR4 and De-novo AIH) is higher in the group of cases than in the control group, so it can be assumed a statistically significant association between the presence of HLA DR 4 in the donor and development of AIH De-novo after LT.8 cases were confirmed. All presented alterations of liver function tests with necroinflammatory pattern during the first 3 months after transplantation despite levels of immunosuppression within therapeutic ranges and all possible causes of alteration of the hepatic profile were ruled out. …”

AI-powered simulation-based inference of a genuinely spatial-stochastic gene regulation model of early mouse embryogenesis. by Michael Alexander Ramirez Sierra, Thomas R Sokolowski

“…Understanding how multicellular organisms reliably orchestrate cell-fate decisions is a central challenge in developmental biology, particularly in early mammalian development, where tissue-level differentiation arises from seemingly cell-autonomous mechanisms. In this study, we present a multi-scale, spatial-stochastic simulation framework for mouse embryogenesis, focusing on inner cell mass (ICM) differentiation into epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PRE) at the blastocyst stage. …”
