Neutrophil adhesion to vessel walls impairs pulmonary circulation in COVID-19 pathology by Hiroshi Ueki, I-Hsuan Wang, Maki Kiso, Kenta Horie, Shun Iida, Sohtaro Mine, Michiko Ujie, Hung-Wei Hsu, Chen-Hui Henry Wu, Masaki Imai, Tadaki Suzuki, Wataru Kamitani, Eiryo Kawakami, Yoshihiro Kawaoka

“…In this study, we investigated mouse models with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection by using our in vivo two-photon imaging system. In the lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, increased expression of adhesion molecules in intravascular neutrophils prolonged adhesion time to the vessel wall, resulting in platelet aggregation and impaired lung perfusion. …”

On the two-loop BSM corrections to $$h\longrightarrow \gamma \gamma $$ h ⟶ γ γ in a triplet extension of the SM by Giuseppe Degrassi, Pietro Slavich

“…We focus on the two-loop corrections controlled by the quartic scalar couplings, and obtain explicit and compact formulas for the $$h \gamma \gamma $$ h γ γ amplitude by means of a low-energy theorem that connects it to the derivative of the photon self-energy w.r.t. the Higgs field. We briefly discuss the numerical impact of the newly-computed contributions, showing that they may be required for a precise determination of $$\Gamma [h\rightarrow \gamma \gamma ]$$ Γ [ h → γ γ ] in scenarios where the quartic scalar couplings are large.…”

Use of Innovative SPECT Techniques in the Presurgical Evaluation of Patients with Nonlesional Extratemporal Drug-Resistant Epilepsy by Ahmed Yassin, Khalid El-Salem, Abdel-Hameed Al-Mistarehi, Aiman Momani, Anas M. Zein Alaabdin, Palak Shah, James Michael Mountz, Anto I. Bagić

“…Cases of drug-resistant nonlesional extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) pose the biggest challenge in localizing the SOZ and require multiple noninvasive diagnostic investigations before planning the intracranial monitoring (ICM) or direct resection. Ictal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (i-SPECT) is a unique functional diagnostic tool that assesses the SOZ using the localized hyperperfusion that occurs early in the seizure. …”

Quantum secure communication algorithm based on cyclic code and information compression by Hongyang MA, Xin ZHANG, Peng’ao XU, Fen LIU, Xingkui FAN

“…For the problem that the classical secure communication was challenging to transmit information,a quantum secure communication algorithm based on cyclic code and information compression was proposed.First,the data was encoded into two sets of data with different lengths by the sender,one set of data was used for cycling coding and the other one was used to compress coding.Second,single-photon sequence was transmitted to the receiver on the quantum channel by the sender.The error number was used as the basis of channel security detection.If the channel was secure,quantum states were encoded for the data,and segment transmitted by quantum stabilizer codes.The error caused by the environment can be overcome according to characteristic of the stable code.Finally,the information was decoded after receiving the quantum information,then recirculated and decompressed to obtain data.The security analysis shows that the quantum secure communication algorithm can resist the attack of jamming and spoofing attacked.The simulation results show that good results can be obtained to 5 segments for data compression.…”
