Death on Demand; A Comparison between Euthanasia Laws in the Netherlands and India, 2001 to 2020 [PDF]
Journal of Research on History of Medicine, 2021 Euthanasia is the act or practice of painlessly putting to death persons suffering from incurable and distressing disease as an act of mercy. This act is illegal in many countries as it is against medical ethics.

Non-contact acoustic micro-tapping optical coherence elastography for quantification of corneal anisotropic elasticity: in vivo rabbit study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose. To demonstrate accurate measurement of corneal elastic moduli in vivo with non-contact and non-invasive optical coherence elastography. Methods. Elastic properties (in-plane Young's modulus E and both in-plane, u, and out-of-plane, G, shear moduli) of rabbit cornea were quantified in vivo using non-contact dynamic Acoustic micro-Tapping ...

Evaluating GPT-4 and ChatGPT on Japanese Medical Licensing Examinations [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 As large language models (LLMs) gain popularity among speakers of diverse languages, we believe that it is crucial to benchmark them to better understand model behaviors, failures, and limitations in languages beyond English. In this work, we evaluate LLM APIs (ChatGPT, GPT-3, and GPT-4) on the Japanese national medical licensing examinations from the ...

Euthanasia in Africa: A scoping review of empirical evidence
Health Science Reports, 2023 Background and Aims The core ethical perplexity is that physician‐assisted suicide and euthanasia (PAS/E) contradicts the core value of medical practice which is about the duty of care to preserve life.

Dynamics of Passive-Scalar Turbulence [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett., 95, 144501 (2005), 2004 We present the first study of the dynamic scaling or multiscaling of passive-scalar and passive-vector turbulence. For the Kraichnan version of passive-scalar and passive-vector turbulence we show analytically, in both Eulerian and quasi-Lagrangian frameworks, that simple dynamic scaling is obtained but with different dynamic exponents.

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.
