Assessing Impulsivity in Adolescents with Borderline Personality Features via an Emotional Contextual Go/NoGo Paradigm by Wang Q, Chen Y, Zhong J

“…Repeated measures ANCOVAs were performed without and with invalidating family environment as a covariate to compare the behavioral outcomes of the Go/Nogo task between participants with different levels of borderline personality features under different emotions.Results: Adolescents with high borderline personality features made significantly more commission errors in the Go/NoGo task only in positive emotional conditions, and the group differences in commission error rates became non-significant after controlling invalidating family environment.Conclusion: The results suggest the impaired response inhibition function particularly under positive emotions of adolescents high in borderline personality features and its close association to invalidating family environment, pointing to more targeted diagnostic and treatment strategies for adolescent borderline personality disorder.Keywords: impulsivity, response inhibition, borderline personality disorder, invalidating family environment, emotions…”

Determination of the processes driving the acquisition of immunity to malaria using a mathematical transmission model. by João A N Filipe, Eleanor M Riley, Christopher J Drakeley, Colin J Sutherland, Azra C Ghani

“…Two types of immune function were required to reproduce the epidemiological age-prevalence curves seen in the empirical data; a form of clinical immunity that reduces susceptibility to clinical disease and develops with age and exposure (with half-life of the order of five years or more) and a form of anti-parasite immunity which results in more rapid clearance of parasitaemia, is acquired later in life and is longer lasting (half-life of >20 y). …”

Impact of ketogenic diets on cancer patient outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Meiying Zhang, Qing Zhang, Sheng Huang, Yifu Lu, Mengyun Peng

“…Two reviewers independently extracted and analyzed the data.ResultsThis meta-analysis revealed that the ketogenic diet significantly reduced fat mass, visceral fat, insulin levels, blood glucose, fatigue, and insomnia compared to a non-ketogenic diet while improving low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, protein uptake, ketosis events, emotional function, and social function. Furthermore, the ketogenic diet induced ketosis by increasing β-hydroxybutyrate levels.ConclusionThe ketogenic diet was found to improve cancer patients’ outcomes more effectively than non-ketogenic diets. …”

Adaptive gradient scaling: integrating Adam and landscape modification for protein structure prediction by Vitalii Kapitan, Michael Choi

“…LM dynamically adjusts gradients using a threshold parameter and a transformation function, thereby improving the optimizer’s ability to avoid local minima, more efficiently traverse flat or rough landscape regions, and potentially converge faster to global or high-quality local optima. …”

Post‐Translational Modifications of RNA‐Modifying Proteins in Cellular Dynamics and Disease Progression by Yunfan Lin, Pei Lin, Ye Lu, Jiarong Zheng, Yucheng Zheng, Xiangyu Huang, Xinyuan Zhao, Li Cui

“…Abstract RNA‐modifying proteins, classified as “writers,” “erasers,” and “readers,” dynamically modulate RNA by adding, removing, or interpreting chemical groups, thereby influencing RNA stability, functionality, and interactions. To date, over 170 distinct RNA chemical modifications and more than 100 RNA‐modifying enzymes have been identified, with ongoing research expanding these numbers. …”

A refined lion optimizer for deep learning by Jian Rong, Chenhao Ma, Qinghui Zhang, Yong Cao, Weili Kou

“…The Lion optimizer, proposed by Google, is an excellent optimizer known for its faster training speed and more efficient memory usage. However, due to the discreteness of the sign function, the optimizer’s parameter updates may fail to adapt dynamically with momentum in some models, leading to non-convergence issues. …”

Longitudinal changes in grey matter and cognitive performance over four years of healthy aging by Nicole Neufeld, Ashleigh F. Parker, Heather Kwan, Erin L. Mazerolle, Jodie R. Gawryluk

“…However, there are inconsistencies in the largely cross-sectional literature as to which regions of grey matter show change over time, with some investigations reporting whole brain and others reporting more focal regions of atrophy. More longitudinal analyses are needed to better understand the neurostructural and functional changes that occur gradually in older adulthood. …”
