Cardamom extract alleviates tamoxifen-induced liver damage by suppressing inflammation and pyroptosis pathway by Wedad S. Sarawi, Hala A. Attia, Afraa Alzoubi, Nour Alanazi, Raeesa Mohammad, Rehab A. Ali

“…TAM exposure resulted in apparent degenerations in hepatic tissue with inflammatory cell infiltration and loss of architectures. Serum levels of liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase were elevated, along with hepatic oxidative stress, as shown by increased lipid peroxidation with lower levels of reduced glutathione. …”

CMOS Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Circuits for Probabilistic Computing by William Whitehead, Wonsik Oh, Luke Theogarajan

“…Intrinsically random hardware devices are increasingly attracting attention for their potential use in probabilistic computing architectures. One such device is the single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) and an associated functional unit, the variable-rate SPAD circuit (VRSC), recently proposed by us as a source of randomness for sampling and annealing Ising and Potts models. …”
