Cellular automata modelling of leukaemic stem cell dynamics in acute myeloid leukaemia: insights into predictive outcomes and targeted therapies by Yutaka Saikawa, Toshihiko Komatsuzaki, Nobuaki Nishiyama, Toshihisa Hatta

“…Our study revealed: (i) a correlation between LSC persistence post-induction chemotherapy and risk of AML relapse; (ii) MRD negativity based on LSC count may not reliably predict outcomes, supporting clinical evidence that patients with MRD-negative status can still be at risk of relapse; (iii) prolonged persistence of LSCs post-chemotherapy without disruption of normal haematopoiesis, aligning with clinical observations of dormant AML clones; (iv) early LSC dynamics post-induction chemotherapy, characterized by stochastic behaviours and movement velocities, are insufficient predictors of long-term prognosis; and (v) a distinct spatiotemporal organization of LSCs in later phases post-induction chemotherapy is correlated with long-term outcomes. …”

Improvements on the discretisation of boundary conditions to the momentum balance for glacial ice by Constantijn J. Berends, Roderik S. W. van de Wal, Paul A. Zegeling

“…We show that a discretisation scheme based on the concept of ghost nodes, which substitutes the boundary conditions directly into the momentum balance equations, yields second-order numerical convergence and errors that can be up to four orders of magnitude smaller. These results are robust across different momentum balance approximations. …”

Sparse Regularization With Reverse Sorted Sum of Squares via an Unrolled Difference-of-Convex Approach by Takayuki Sasaki, Kazuya Hayase, Masaki Kitahara, Shunsuke Ono

“…In this study, we propose a novel sparse regularization function called the reverse sorted sum of squares (RSSS) and then construct an unrolled algorithm that addresses both the aforementioned two problems and these four challenges. The core idea of our proposed method lies in transforming the optimization problem into a difference-of-convex programming problem, for which solutions are known. …”

Plasma and Aorta Biochemistry and MMPs Activities in Female Rabbit Fed Methionine Enriched Diet and Their Offspring by Khira Othmani Mecif, Souhila Aouichat Bouguerra, Yasmina Benazzoug

“…This study investigated whether a high Met diet influences biochemical parameters, MMPs activities in plasma, and biochemical and histological remodeling in aorta, in both pregnant female rabbits and their offspring. Four female rabbit groups are constituted (each n=8), nonpregnant control (NPC), pregnant control (PC) that received normal commercial chow, nonpregnant Met (NPMet), and pregnant Met (PMet) that received the same diet supplemented with 0,35% L-methionine (w/w) for 3 months (500 mg/d). …”

Questionnaires of self-perception poorly correlate with instability elicited by walking balance perturbations. by Andrew D Shelton, Jessica L Allen, Vicki S Mercer, Jeremy R Crenshaw, Jason R Franz

“…The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between falls self-efficacy and objective responses to a series of walking balance perturbations. 29 healthy younger adults and 28 older adults completed four experimental trials, including unperturbed walking and walking while responding to three perturbations: mediolateral optical flow, treadmill-induced slips, and lateral waist-pulls; and three self-reported questionnaires: Activity-specific Balance Confidence, Falls Efficacy Scale, and the Fear of Falling Questionnaire-Revised. …”

Health Evaluation of Fenghe River Based on AHP-Fuzzy Mathematical Model and Item-by-Item Evaluation Method by ZHANG Zeyang, LIU Qiang, WANG Gang, XU Ziwei

“…This paper takes Fenghe River in Langfang City as the research object to conduct river health evaluation,which is expected to provide a direction for the future health management of Fenghe River and achieve the goal of healthy development of the water ecology of local rivers.On the basis of the relatively perfect evaluation standard,the scientific and reasonable health evaluation of Fenghe River is carried out by the item-by-item evaluation method and the AHP-fuzzy mathematical model,which is suitable for the local actual situation.An evaluation system is constructed,which consists of four criterion layers covering “basin”,“water”,“biology”,and social service functions and 12 subordinate index layers.The evaluation results show that Fenghe River is healthy according to the item-by-item evaluation method.In the evaluation of the AHP-fuzzy mathematical model,Fenghe River is “very healthy”,with a grade of 0.411 0.By this method,the grade of “healthy” is 0.343 8,and the grades of 0.223 9,0.021 3,and 0 denote the health status of “sub-healthy”,“unhealthy”,and “bad”,respectively.The Fenghe River Basin in Langfang Economic and Technological Development Zone has poor performance in terms of riparian bandwidth,sediment pollutants,and water quality.The proposed evaluation method can provide a reference for the health evaluation of rivers heavily influenced by cities and artificial interventions.…”
