The direct estimation of heritability from genome-wide common variant data as implemented in the program Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) has provided a means to quantify attributable all interrogated variants. We have quantified variance liability disease explained by SNPs for two phenotypically-related neurobehavioral disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS), using GCTA. Our analysis yielded point estimate 0.58 (se = 0.09, p 5.64e-12) TS, 0.37...
The use of NLP in the realm financial technology is broad and complex, with applications ranging from sentiment analysis named entity recognition to question answering. Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown be effective on a variety tasks; however, no LLM specialized for domain has reported literature. In this work, we present BloombergGPT, 50 billion parameter language model that trained wide range data. We construct 363 token dataset based Bloomberg's extensive data sources, perhaps...
Background Hospitalized medical patients are at risk for venous thromboembolism ( VTE ). Universal application of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis has the potential to place a large number increased bleeding risk. In this study, we aimed externally validate International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism IMPROVE) assessment model in hospitalized general population. Methods and Results We identified discharges that met IMPROVE protocol. Cases were defined as...
Objective: The Treatment for Adolescents With Depression Study (TADS) evaluates the effectiveness of fluoxetine, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and their combination in adolescents with major depressive disorder. authors report outcomes across a 1-year naturalistic follow-up period. Method: randomized, controlled trial was conducted 13 academic community sites United States. Stages I, II, III consisted 12, 6, 18 weeks acute, consolidation, continuation treatment, respectively. Following...
To quantify the improvements in laxity from surgical face-lift and to perform a randomized, blinded comparison with clinical effects of novel, minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency (FRF) system.Randomized, blinded, comparative trial.Fifteen sequential patients facial skin enrolled trial completed FRF treatment follow-up. Baseline follow-up digital photographs undergoing were randomly mixed 6 sets baseline images equivalent grades.Five independent evaluators graded randomized 3-...
Pain is a complex multidimensional experience encompassing sensory-discriminative, affective-motivational and cognitive-emotional components mediated by different neural mechanisms. Investigations of neurophysiological signals from simultaneous recordings two or more cortical circuits may reveal important circuit mechanisms on pain processing. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) primary somatosensory (S1) represent most related to sensory affective processing pain. Here, we recorded in vivo...
This article explores aspects of family environment and parent-child conflict that may predict or moderate response to acute treatments among depressed adolescents (N = 439) randomly assigned fluoxetine, cognitive behavioral therapy, their combination, placebo. Outcomes were Week 12 scores on measures depression global impairment. Of 20 candidate variables, one predictor emerged: Across treatments, with mothers who reported less more likely benefit than counterparts. When functioning...
Neonatal otoxicosis is a very rare consh=on.

A growing body of research has demonstrated associations between specific neurodevelopmental disorders and variation in DNA methylation (DNAm), implicating this molecular mark as a possible contributor to the etiology these and/or novel disease biomarker. Furthermore, genetic risk variants have been found be enriched at loci associated with DNAm patterns, referred quantitative trait (mQTLs). We conducted two epigenome-wide association studies individuals attention-deficit/hyperactivity...
Abstract Maritime security concerns in the South China Sea are increasing for several reasons: higher volumes of shipping traffic, protection exclusive economic zone resources, piracy, terrorist threats, greater international scrutiny ports and shipping, modernization regional naval coast guard forces. Coastal states user have many overlapping interests Sea, example, promoting safe navigation through its busy sea-lanes. On other issues, particular, antipiracy or anti-maritime terrorism...
Abstract : Piracy is a basic and fundamental concern for all navies. From almost the beginning of state-sponsored navies, piracy suppression has been one their major responsibilities -- when Julius Caesar was captured by pirates in 76 BCE, first thing he did after paying pirates' ransom being released to fit out squadron ships take his revenge. Despite piracy's importance continued frequency piratical attacks, however, relatively few scholarly works have written analyzing cases modern terms...
This study sought to identify which commonly experienced burn-related issues parents/caregivers of burn-injured youth deemed most stressful, difficult, and disruptive during their child's initial acute burn care hospitalization, following the discharge. Parents completed an 11-item survey, asking them rate difficulty items regarding injury. The scale was created by doctors, nurses, psychologists with average 10.5 (SD ± 4.8) years experience. Items selected were among common parental problems...
More than 21 million people globally are refugees. half of these (>10 million) children, representing a highly vulnerable population. Most children experience high levels trauma exposure, including war trauma, as well substantial migration- and resettlement-related stress. These exposures confer risk for mental health problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but their relative contributions have not been fully explicated. effects may be modulated by the developmental timing exposure:...
PotPie, HippoPololi and BillDoor are bacteriophages with siphoviral morphologies that were isolated from soil in North Carolina using Gordonia rubripertincta . The three phages all grouped the CT cluster, genomes of 48182 bp, 45423 44875 respectively, predicted to be lytic.
