    Abstract Condensates are a hallmark of emergence in quantum materials such as superconductors and charge density waves. Excitonic insulators are an intriguing addition to this library, exhibiting spontaneous condensation of electron-hole pairs. However, condensate observables can be obscured through parasitic coupling to the lattice. Here we employ nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy to disentangle such obscurants through measurement of the quantum dynamics. We target Ta

    Abstract Analysis across a growing number of single-cell perturbation datasets is hampered by poor data interoperability. To facilitate development and benchmarking of computational methods, we collect a set of 44 publicly available single-cell perturbation-response datasets with molecular readouts, including transcriptomics, proteomics and epigenomics. We apply uniform quality control pipelines and harmonize feature annotations. The resulting information resource, scPerturb, enables development and testing of computational methods, and facilitates comparison and integration across datasets. We describe energy statistics (E-statistics) for quantification of perturbation effects and significance testing, and demonstrate E-distance as a general distance measure between sets of single-cell expression profiles. We illustrate the application of E-statistics for quantifying similarity and efficacy of perturbations. The perturbation-response datasets and E-statistics computation software are publicly available at scperturb.org. This work provides an information resource for researchers working with single-cell perturbation data and recommendations for experimental design, including optimal cell counts and read depth.

    Abstract Importance: Although most research has linked video gaming to subsequent increases in aggressive behavior in children after accounting for prior aggression, findings have been divided with respect to video gaming's association with cognitive skills.
    Objective: To examine the association between video gaming and cognition in children using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study.
    Design, setting, and participants: In this case-control study, cognitive performance and blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal were compared in video gamers (VGs) and non-video gamers (NVGs) during response inhibition and working memory using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a large data set of 9- and 10-year-old children from the ABCD study, with good control of demographic, behavioral, and psychiatric confounding effects. A sample from the baseline assessment of the ABCD 2.0.1 release in 2019 was largely recruited across 21 sites in the US through public, private, and charter elementary schools using a population neuroscience approach to recruitment, aiming to mirror demographic variation in the US population. Children with valid neuroimaging and behavioral data were included. Some exclusions included common MRI contraindications, history of major neurologic disorders, and history of traumatic brain injury.
    Exposures: Participants completed a self-reported screen time survey including an item asking children to report the time specifically spent on video gaming. All fMRI tasks were performed by all participants.
    Main outcomes and measures: Video gaming time, cognitive performance, and BOLD signal assessed with n-back and stop signal tasks on fMRI. Collected data were analyzed between October 2019 and October 2020.
    Results: A total of 2217 children (mean [SD] age, 9.91 [0.62] years; 1399 [63.1%] female) participated in this study. The final sample used in the stop signal task analyses consisted of 1128 NVGs (0 gaming hours per week) and 679 VGs who played at least 21 hours per week. The final sample used in the n-back analyses consisted of 1278 NVGs who had never played video games (0 hours per week of gaming) and 800 VGs who played at least 21 hours per week. The VGs performed better on both fMRI tasks compared with the NVGs. Nonparametric analyses of fMRI data demonstrated a greater BOLD signal in VGs in the precuneus during inhibitory control. During working memory, a smaller BOLD signal was observed in VGs in parts of the occipital cortex and calcarine sulcus and a larger BOLD signal in the cingulate, middle, and frontal gyri and the precuneus.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this study, compared with NVGs, VGs were found to exhibit better cognitive performance involving response inhibition and working memory as well as altered BOLD signal in key regions of the cortex responsible for visual, attention, and memory processing. The findings are consistent with videogaming improving cognitive abilities that involve response inhibition and working memory and altering their underlying cortical pathways.

    Abstract Background: With an increasing number of therapeutic options available for the management of ulcerative colitis (UC), the variability in treatment and prescribing patterns is not well known. While recent guidelines have provided updates on how these therapeutic options should be used, patterns of long-term use of these drugs over the past 2 decades remain unclear.
    Methods: We analyzed a retrospective, nationwide cohort of more than 1.7 million prescriptions for trends in prescribing behaviors and to evaluate practices suggested in guidelines relating to ordering biologics, step-up therapy, and combination therapy. The primary outcome was 30-day steroid-free remission and secondary outcomes included hospitalization, cost, and additional steroid usage. A pipeline was created to identify cohorts of patients under active UC medical management grouped by prescribing strategies to evaluate comparative outcomes between strategies. Cox proportional hazards and multivariate regression models were utilized to assess postexposure outcomes and adjust for confounders.
    Results: Among 6 major drug categories, we noted major baseline differences in patient characteristics at first exposure corresponding to disease activity. We noted earlier use of biologics in patient trajectories (762 days earlier relative to UC diagnosis, 2018 vs 2008; P < .001) and greater overall use of biologics over time (2.53× more in 2018 vs 2008; P < .00001) . Among biologic-naive patients, adalimumab was associated with slightly lower rates of remission compared with infliximab or vedolizumab (odds ratio, 0.92; P < .005). Comparisons of patients with early biologic initiation to patients who transitioned to biologics from 5-aminosalicylic acid suggest lower steroid consumption for early biologic initiation (-761 mg prednisone; P < .001). Combination thiopurine-biologic therapy was associated with higher odds of remission compared with biologic monotherapy (odds ratio, 1.36; P = .01).
    Conclusions: As biologic drugs have become increasingly available for UC management, they have increasingly been used at earlier stages of disease management. Large-scale analyses of prescribing behaviors provide evidence supporting early use of biologics compared with step-up therapy and use of thiopurine and biologic combination therapy.

    Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) such as benazepril are commonly prescribed in both humans and dogs with heart disease to mitigate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS); however, the dose-dependent effects of benazepril on comprehensive RAAS components remain unknown. In this study, nine purpose-bred healthy dogs received three different dosages of oral benazepril (0.125 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg, or 0.5 mg/kg) in a randomized crossover design following induction of RAAS activation by consuming a low-sodium diet. Blood samples were collected at serial time intervals after benazepril dosing to measure plasma benazeprilat (active metabolite of benazepril) and serum RAAS biomarkers. Blood pressure and echocardiogram were performed at baseline and after each benazepril administration. Time-weighted averages for RAAS biomarkers for 12 h post-dose and hemodynamic variables were compared between dosing groups using Wilcoxon rank-sum testing. Compared to the lowest dosage of benazepril (0.125 mg/kg), the highest dosage (0.5 mg/kg) resulted in lower time-weighted average values of angiotensin (Ang) II (- 38%, P = 0.004), Ang1-5 (- 53%, P = 0.001), ACE-S (surrogate for ACE activity; - 59%, P = 0.0002), and ALT-S (surrogate for alternative RAAS activity; - 22%, P = 0.004), and higher values of AngI (+ 78%, P = 0.014) and PRA-S (surrogate for plasma renin activity; + 58%, P = 0.040). There were no relevant differences between dosing groups for blood pressure or echocardiographic variables. Knowledge of dose-dependent alterations in biomarkers of the classical and alternative RAAS pathways could help inform clinical trials for dosage optimization in both dogs and humans.

    Abstract Background: Mechanical lithotripsy produces stone fragments that are not easily detected by cholangiography and is a potential cause of recurrence of common bile duct stones (CBDS). This study aims to clarify whether 100 ml saline irrigation after mechanical lithotripsy reduces the recurrent rate of CBDS.
    Methods: In this randomized controlled trial performed at the Surgical Endoscopy Center, the First Hospital of Lanzhou University between May 10, 2019, and Dec 31, 2020, patients undergoing endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy were randomly assigned to receive saline irrigation (study group) or no irrigation (control group). The saline irrigation was given 100 ml saline pulse irrigation after cholangiography showed no residual stones. Patients were followed up for at least 24 months after endoscopic stone removal to assess the recurrence of CBDS. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03937037).
    Findings: During the median follow-up period of 35.6 months (interquartile range, 26.0-40.7), 43 of the 180 patients had stone recurrence (24%). The frequency of recurrence of CBD stones was 12.22% in the saline irrigation group and 35.56% in the control group, with a difference of 23.33% between the two groups (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.35%-35.32%, p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analyses showed that constipation (hazard risk [HR] 2.42; 95% CI, 1.22-4.80, p = 0.012), periampullary diverticulum (PAD) (HR 3.06; 95% CI, 1.62-5.79, p < 0.001), and total to direct bilirubin ratio (HR 1.48; 95% CI, 1.21-1.81, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for the recurrence of CBDS. Saline irrigation was the only preventive factor for the recurrence of CBDS (HR 0.22; 95% CI, 0.11-0.44, p < 0.001).
    Interpretation: For patients with CBDS requiring mechanical lithotripsy, 100 ml saline irrigation effectively reduces the recurrent rate of CBDS after endoscopic stone removal.
