AbstractDiseases caused by retinal degeneration are major causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide (1). These disorders are characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. However, the other neurons in the retina, including bipolar, amacrine, horizontal, and retinal ganglion cells, often remain largely functional, preserving the connection to the visual cortex via the optic nerve.

Passive Cooling A cool paintBrent GrocholskiConceptual drawing of combined evaporative-radiative cooling paint. The top and exterior of buildings can be used to passively cool, but this requires materials with the right properties to do so effectively. Fei et al. designed a paint that cools both radiatively and through evaporation and that appears to keep buildings relatively cool even in humid environments.

1. IntroductionBiomarkers are indicators of normal and pathological biological processes. The concept of biomarkers is not novel, as ancient civilizations utilized biomarkers to assess disease state. For example, the degree of injury was assessed by monitoring heart pulse [1]. The first determination of blood pressure was recorded as early as 1732 by introduction of a probe into a horse [2].

AbstractReview a cohort of preterm infants ≤29 weeks of gestation at birth and compare morbidities and neurodevelopmental outcomes based on PDA status and type of PDA closure. Single center observational retrospective-prospective case control study of premature infants who had no hsPDA, underwent surgical ligation or percutaneous transcatheter closure of the PDA. Neurodevelopmental testing was done using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development 3rd ed.

AbstractThe exponential scientific and technological progress during the past 30 years has favored the comprehensive characterization of aging processes with their multivariate nature, leading to the advent of Big Data in preclinical aging research. Spanning from molecular omics to organism-level deep phenotyping, Big Data demands large computational resources for storage and analysis, as well as new analytical tools and conceptual frameworks to gain novel insights leading to discovery.
