Artificial Intelligence for Health Message Generation: Theory, Method, and an Empirical Study Using Prompt Engineering [PDF]
This study introduces and examines the potential of an AI system to generate health awareness messages. The topic of folic acid, a vitamin that is critical during pregnancy, served as a test case. Using prompt engineering, we generated messages that could be used to raise awareness and compared them to retweeted human-generated messages via ...

Topological Darkness: How to Design a Metamaterial for Optical Biosensing with Virtually Unlimited Sensitivity [PDF]
Due to the absence of labels and fast analyses, optical biosensors promise major advances in biomedical diagnostics, security, environmental and food safety applications. However, sensitivity of the most advanced plasmonic biosensor implementations has a fundamental limitation caused by losses in the system and or geometry of biochips.

Features of aminopropyl modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Implications on the active targeting capability [PDF]
Aminopropyl modified mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles, MCM-41 type, have been synthesized by the co-condensation method from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). By means of modifying TEOS/APTES ratio we have carried out an in-depth characterization of the nanoparticles as a function of APTES content.

Tradeoffs in concentration sensing in dynamic environments [PDF]
When cells measure concentrations of chemical signals, they may average multiple measurements over time in order to reduce noise in their measurements. However, when cells are in a environment that changes over time, past measurements may not reflect current conditions - creating a new source of error that trades off against noise in chemical sensing ...

AbstractThere is a large body of literature demonstrating the efficacy of maternal folic acid intake in preventing birth defects, as well as investigations into potential adverse consequences of consuming folic acid above the upper intake level (UL). Recently, two authoritative bodies convened expert panels to assess risks from high intakes of folic ...

Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas: 2023 update on diagnosis, risk‐stratification, and management
Abstract Disease Overview Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas are a heterogenous group of T‐cell neoplasms involving the skin, the majority of which may be classified as Mycosis Fungoides (MF) or Sézary Syndrome (SS). Diagnosis The diagnosis of MF or SS requires the integration of clinical and histopathologic data.

The effect of folate on ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat adnexal torsion model [PDF]
Purpose The ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of ovaries in adnexal torsion may have inadvertent consequences. Many agents have been studied in terms of their ability to prevent reperfusion damage to ovaries in suspected cases. In this study, folic acid,
