Rethinking the Chemical Reaction as a Graph: Imaginary Transition Structures and Beyond
ConclusionImaginary Transition Structures, and more broadly reaction graphs, offer a powerful abstraction for working with reactions. By encoding starting materials, products, and atom/bond mappings in a single graph, reaction analyses can take advantage of the same techniques developed for molecular graphs over the last 50 years. The appearance of the first study combining machine learning autoencoders with reaction graphs may foreshadow a renaissance in reaction cheminformatics, with reaction graphs leading the way.

Unweaving the rainbow
Newton (in)famously split sunlight into the visible spectrum with his prism. His findings revolutionised optics but led to accusation of his unweaving the rainbow. As if that somehow subtracted from our appreciation of the natural world. To my mind, it does nothing of the sort. Knowing that white light comprises all the colours of the rainbow and these can be separated at the interface of two materials of different refractive index actually adds to the beauty. Knowing a rainbow is photons of different frequencies stimulating the cells at the back of your eyes and impinging on your brain’s visual cortex does not detr...

Severe shock, obtunded, and a diagnostic prehospital ECG. Also: How did this happen?
A middle-aged woman was found down in her apartment unconscious. She was in shock with thready pulses.A prehospital ECG was recorded:Limb leads:Precordial LeadsWhat is the therapy?This is pathognomonic of hyperkalemia (I suppose it could be due to a massive overdose of a sodium channel blocking drug, maybe).Is it ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to hyperK or is it a supraventricular rhythm with hyperK? ---I don ' t think that it is possible to say for certain, and it does not matter. The rate is not fast enough to be causing shock, so if it is VT, the priority is still to treat hyperK and secondarily to cardiove...

Poor Results from an Initial Human Trial of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, responsible for packaging energy store molecules that power cellular processes. NAD+ is an essential metabolite for mitochondrial function, but levels decline with age. The proximate causes of this decline are fairly well mapped, and involve insufficient resources in a variety of pathways for synthesis or recycling of NAD+. The deeper reasons are poorly understood, however, meaning how these pathway issues emerge from the underlying molecular damage to cells and tissues that causes aging. Ways to force an increase in NAD+ levels have been shown to improve mitochondrial functio...

The Three Ps of Pyloric Stenosis
The back story of pyloric stenosis is fascinating. It is a relatively minor surgical condition today, but the disease had a mortality of 100 percent before 1904, when only five operative cases were known to have been performed in the United States. The dying process was slow and painful, and parents watched their infants slowly starve to death.The pyloromyotomy procedure currently used to treat pyloric stenosis was introduced by Conrad Ramstedt, MD, in 1911 at the Children's Hospital of Munster, and is still called the Ramstedt procedure. Before surgical management was introduced for this gastric outlet obstruction, mul...

Magnum, P.I.
An 11-year-old boy with cerebral palsy presented to the emergency department unresponsive. His mother said the child was in his normal state earlier that morning, but was blue and unresponsive when she tried to wake him from his morning nap. A home pulse oximeter reported an oxygen level of 55%.The mother placed the child on oxygen and called 911. He was still unresponsive on arrival, and his physical examination demonstrated flaccid paralysis and a GCS score of 3 with fixed dilated pupils. He was tachycardic with shallow respirations. His initial vital signs were a temperature of 36.9°C, a heart rate of 136 bpm, a res...

Sweat Sensor Measures Variety of Biochemicals to Help Monitor Exercise, Disease
Our skin excretes a wide array of important biomarkers that may help to track physical exertion, diagnose disease, and track progression of a condition. Exercise, in particular, leads to a significant change in the composition of our sweat, signaling dehydration, lack of electrolytes, or other problems. Scientists at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed skin multi-purpose skin sensor capable of measuring a number of important biochemical compounds. The technology will hopefully be used by athletes to warn them to rehydrate when necessary, as well as people with renal diseases and diabetes. The sensors...
