Phys.Rev.Lett.82:3356-3359,1999, 1998 We present a two-party protocol for quantum gambling, a new task closely related to coin tossing. The protocol allows two remote parties to play a gambling game, such that in a certain limit it becomes a fair game. No unconditionally secure classical method is known to accomplish this task.

Recognizing early MRI signs (or their absence) is crucial in diagnosing metachromatic leukodystrophy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1999-2009, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) has characteristic white matter (WM) changes on brain MRI, which often trigger biochemical and genetic confirmation of the diagnosis. In early or pre‐symptomatic disease stages, these typical MRI changes might be absent, hampering early diagnosis.
