Hyponatraemia Induced by Terlipressin in Patients Diagnosed with Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis and Acute Variceal Bleeding by Mahmoud Elshehawy, Richel Merin Panicker, Alaa Amr Abdelgawad, Patrick Anthony Ball, Hana Morrissey

“…Fluid balance monitoring revealed a marked diuretic response following terlipressin cessation. This case aligns with existing reports, emphasizing the dual vasopressin receptor activity of terlipressin and its capacity to induce hyponatraemia, particularly in cirrhotic patients with preserved renal function and higher baseline sodium levels. …”

Templating of monomeric alpha-synuclein results in inflammation and SNpc dopamine neuron death in a genetic mouse model of induced synucleinopathy by Matthew D. Byrne, Peyman Petramfar, Jae-Kyung Lee, Richard Jay Smeyne

“…The first mutations described that leads to the development of an autosomal dominant form of PD are in the SNCA gene that codes for the protein alpha-synuclein (α-syn). α-syn is an abundant presynaptic protein that is natively disordered and whose function is still unclear. In PD, α-syn misfolds into multimeric b-pleated sheets that aggregate in neurons (Lewy Bodies/neurites) and spread throughout the neuraxis in a pattern that aligns with disease progression. …”

Standard anatomical and visual space for the mouse retina: computational reconstruction and transformation of flattened retinae with the Retistruct package. by David C Sterratt, Daniel Lyngholm, David J Willshaw, Ian D Thompson

“…This is achieved by: stitching the marked-up cuts of the flat-mount outline; dividing the stitched outline into a mesh whose vertices then are mapped onto a curtailed sphere; and finally moving the vertices so as to minimise a physically-inspired deformation energy function. Our validation studies indicate that the algorithm can estimate the position of a point on the intact adult retina to within 8° of arc (3.6% of nasotemporal axis). …”

Temporal Decay Loss for Adaptive Log Anomaly Detection in Cloud Environments by Lelisa Adeba Jilcha, Deuk-Hun Kim, Jin Kwak

“…To address these challenges, we propose an effective detection approach integrating a domain-specific pre-trained language model (PLM) fine-tuned on cybersecurity-adjacent data with a novel loss function, Loss with Decaying Factor (LDF). LDF introduces an exponential time decay mechanism into the training objective, ensuring a dynamic balance between historical context and real-time relevance. …”
