Kinematic cues in driver-pedestrian communication to support safe road crossing
This study examined driver-pedestrian information exchange using vehicle kinematic behavioral cues. We find that the differences in mutual information are shaped by multiple factors including the intersection type. In general, there was less mutual information gain in protected crossings which may be explained by unambiguous right-of-way rules guiding driver and pedestrian behavior, reducing the need for negotiation. Driver-pedestrian interactions in designated crossings seem to take place over a larger distance range compared to undesignated or protected crossings. These findings may support the design of automated drivin...

Noonan syndrome: rhGH treatment and PTPN11 mutation
CONCLUSION: Noonan syndrome is characterized by slow growth, short stature, mental retardation, peculiar facial features, structural heart abnormalities and abnormal bone metabolism. and osteochondroma was found after case 2 rhGH treatment. Genetic examination is mostly caused by PTPN11 mutation. It is recommended to pay attention to bone metabolism abnormalities before growth hormone treatment, especially in children with PTPN11 mutations.PMID:37525886 | DOI:10.1002/mgg3.2266 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Targeting single inflammation marker IL-1 Β does not alter development of advanced atherosclerotic plaques in high-fat diet-fed ApoE knockout mice
Background and Aims: Despite intensive research, novel anti-inflammatory therapies to treat atherosclerosis and prevent cardiovascular events remain highly sought after. Anti-inflammatory therapies targeting the inflammasomes represent a promising strategy. The most prominent inflammasome is the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain (NLRP) 3, which activates the pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL) IL-1 β and IL-18. Hence, we here evaluated the potential of blocking the NLRP3 and IL-1β as late therapy intervention in advanced atherosclerosis. (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Lipid profile in Noonan syndrome and related disorders: trend by age, sex and genotype
ConclusionThe present findings document an unfavourable lipid profile in subjects with NS, in particular PTPN11 mutated patients, and NS/LAH. Further studies are required to delineate the dysregulation of lipid metabolism in RASopathies more systematically and confirm the occurrence of previously unappreciated genotype-phenotype correlations involving the metabolic profile of these disorders.

Abnormalities of pubertal development and gonadal function in Noonan syndrome
ConclusionsAccording to the literature and to our experience, NS patients seem to have a delay in puberty onset compared to the physiological timing reported in healthy children. Males with NS seem to be at risk of gonadal dysfunction secondary not only to cryptorchidism but also to other underlying developmental factors including the MAP/MAPK pathway and genetics. Long-term data on a large cohort of males and females with NS are needed to better understand the impact of delayed puberty on adult height, metabolic profile and well-being. The role of genetic counselling and fertility related-issues is crucial. (Source: Front...
