Photoplethysmography based psychological stress detection with pulse rate variability feature differences and elastic net by Fenghua Li, Peida Xu, Shichun Zheng, Wenfeng Chen, Yang Yan, Suo Lu, Zhengkui Liu

“…The correct prediction took 86%–91% of the testing samples with error standard deviation of 0.68–0.81 in the label space of 14. By simplifying the process of prediction with a perspective of stress difference and handling the collinearity among pulse rate variability features with elastic net, we successfully built a stress prediction model with only pulse rate variability input source, fine granularity output and portable friendly sensor.…”

Self-assembled Human Serum Protein-based Core-shell Nanoparticles to inhibit key oncogenic signalling in Drug-Resistant Leukemia by Archana Payickattu Retnakumary, Lekshmi G Kumar, Neeraj Sidharthan, Pavithran Keechilat, Giridharan L. Malarvizhi, Prasanna L Hanumanthu, Madhavan V Thampi, Deepthy Menon, Krishnakumar Menon, Shantikumar V Nair, Manzoor Koyakutty

“…To address this, we developed two dual-drug-loaded core-shell nanoparticles: (a) CS-NP1: Protamine sulfate nanocores carrying BCR-ABL siRNA and an albumin shell loaded with the STAT5 in-hibitor sorafenib, denoted as (PS-siRNA)-(Tf-Soraf) CS-NP; (b) CS-NP2: features a second-generation BCR-ABL inhibitor, dasatinib, in the albumin nanocore, and sorafenib in the transferrin nanoshell, labeled as (nAlb-Dasa)-(Tf-Soraf). We hypothesized that these dual-drug-loaded CS-NPs would effectively target both BCR-ABL and STAT5 pathways, with the transferrin nanoshell aiding in precise delivery to refractory CML cells overexpressing TfR1 due to STAT5 activity. …”

A review of conceptual changes and perception studies of autism and related terminologies by LAO Uchong, ZHU Huilin

“…The medical terms “孤独症” （gūdú zhèng） and “自闭症” （zìbì zhèng） carry stigmatizing connotations， especially “zìbì zhèng，” which， due to its negative association with self-imposed isolation， is often linked with negative labels such as “dangers” or “burdens.” Terms like “星星的孩子” （xīngxīng de háizi） and “闭娃” （bì wá）， despite their popularity， are criticized by the autistic community for their romanticized and demeaning connotations， and for overlooking adult autistic individuals. …”
