Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia with Sarcoidosis Overlap: An Atypical Case Study by Ajmal Nazir Neelambra, Vishak Acharya, Sowmya Sundararajan

“…This case report suggests that sarcoidosis as a possible cause of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is worth considering with the mixed spectrum of presentation as in our case. And to our knowledge, this type of presentation of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia with sarcoidosis as an overlap disease is very rare, and this possibility needs to be explored by more series of such cases.…”

Geotechnical Characteristic Assessments of Floodplain Soils Using SCPTU Data in Nanjing, China by Mingfei Zhang, Liyuan Tong, Qiang Wang

“…At an area where local correlations based on modern SCPTU do not exist, methods for estimating coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0), hydraulic permeability (kh), and equivalent stiffness (G0) associated with bridge foundation design are presented, compared, and verified. Results also illustrate the complexity and variability of the floodplain stratigraphy and soil properties, which means that the suggestions in this study should be updated when more local experience is obtained. …”

Structural dynamics and permeability of the TRPV3 pentamer by Shifra Lansky, Zhaokun Wang, Oliver B. Clarke, Christophe Chipot, Simon Scheuring

“…Recently, using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), we discovered a rare and transient pentameric state for TRPV3 that is in equilibrium with the tetrameric state, and, using cryo-EM, we solved a low-resolution structure of the TRPV3 pentamer, in which, however, many residues were unresolved. Here, we present a higher resolution and more complete structure of the pentamer, revealing a domain-swapped architecture, a collapsed vanilloid binding site, and a large pore. …”
