Analogue black hole merger in a polariton condensate

Analogue studies represent an important tool in modern Physics. In particular, analogue gravity had a strong success in the recent years with the demonstrations of Hawking radiation and superradiance of analogue black holes in classical and quantum fluids. So far, the metric of t...

Osteocalcin and impaired cerebral resting-state functional connectivity in postmenopausal osteoporosis: a pilot case-control study

PURPOSE: Postmenopausal osteoporosis and circulating osteocalcin have been suggested to influence brain function. Objectives aim to explore associations between brain network resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) connectivity, bone status, and circulating ost...

Contraceptive use in women of childbearing age with bipolar disorder

INTRODUCTION: Unplanned pregnancies are frequent in women with bipolar disorder (BD) while perinatal period is associated with a higher risk of relapse. Effective contraception during childbearing age in BD could reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and its consequences. The pr...

Scenario-Based Dynamic Assessment of Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic and Heat Pump Systems for Low-Emission French Single-Family Houses

Achieving the European Union’s (EU) climate neutrality targets requires residential buildings to reduce operational carbon emissions, while increasing on-site renewable generation. However, the relative contributions of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery storage and h...

Can Intraoperative Therapeutic Window Data Predict Chronic Contact Selection in Deep Brain Stimulation?

Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming relies on selecting electrode contacts that maximize clinical benefit while minimizing side effects. The therapeutic window (range of current yielding symptom improvement without adverse effects) is a key criterion in this decisio...

Low intensity transcranial electrical stimulation for schizophrenia: a triple-blind, randomized, sham-controlled multicenter trial (STIM’Zo)

Persistent symptoms in schizophrenia remain a major therapeutic challenge. Noninvasive electrical stimulation such as transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) may alleviate auditory hallucinations and negative symptoms, although existing evidence is limited to case reports an...

Reservoir Neuromorphic Computing Based on Spin-Orbit Coupling in an Organic Crystal Resonator

Abstract Neuromorphic computing is at the basis of the recent progress in artificial intelligence, but this progress is accompanied by an increasing demand for computational resources and power supply. Reservoir neuromorphic computing uses a nonlinear physical system to replace a...

LDL Cholesterol Lowering With Evolocumab Before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Importance: Proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition is recommended as second- or third-line lipid-lowering therapy after myocardial infarction (MI), resulting in prolonged periods of inadequate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) control. Whether...
