A new risk assessment model of venous thromboembolism by considering fuzzy population by Xin Wang, Yu-Qing Yang, Xin-Yu Hong, Si-Hua Liu, Jian-Chu Li, Ting Chen, Ju-Hong Shi

“…Many studies using machine learning (ML) models to predict VTE risk overlook the impact of class-imbalance problem due to the low incidence rate of VTE, resulting in inferior and unstable model performance, which hinders their ability to replace the Padua model, a widely used linear weighted model in clinic. Our study aims to develop a new VTE risk assessment model suitable for Chinese medical inpatients. …”

Haploinsufficiency of PDE2A causes in mice increased exploratory behavior associated with upregulation of neural nitric oxide synthase in the striatum by Ana Gabriela de Oliveira do Rêgo, Francesca D'Amico, Vincenza D’Angelo, Silvia Cardarelli, Debora Cutuli, Davide Decandia, Eugenia Landolfo, Laura Petrosini, Manuela Pellegrini, Marcello D’Amelio, Nicola Biagio Mercuri, Mauro Giorgi, Giuseppe Sancesario

“…To address this gap, we studied behavioral characteristics and cerebral morpho-chemical changes of adult male heterozygous C57BL/6-PDE2A+/− (HET), and wild type C57BL/6-PDE2A+/+ (WT) mice.Behavioral functions of mice were evaluated by a wide test battery. HET mice exhibited greater tendency to explore novel environments in comparison to WT mice, but spatial working memory, anxiety, and sociability were similar in adult HET and WT mice.In HET mice, PDE2A mRNA, PDE2A protein expression, and cGMP hydrolyzing enzymatic activity were consistently reduced by about 50 %. …”
