    Abstract In this paper, we demonstrate that the weak temperature dependence of the structure factor of supercooled liquids, a defining feature of the glass transition, is a consequence of the averaging of the scattering intensity due to angular averaging. We show that the speckle at individual wavevectors, calculated from a simulated glass former, exhibits a Debye-Waller factor with a sufficiently large temperature dependence to represent a structural order parameter capable of distinguishing liquid from glass. We also extract from the speckle intensities a quantity proportional to the variance of the local restraint, i.e., a direct experimental measure of the amplitude of structural heterogeneity.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the management of relapsed and refractory myeloma, with excellent outcomes and a tolerable safety profile. High dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHCT) is established as a mainstream of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) management in patients who are young and fit enough to tolerate such intensity. This standard was developed based on randomized trials comparing AHCT to chemotherapy in the era prior to novel agents. More recently, larger studies have primarily shown a progression free survival (PFS) benefit of upfront AHCT, rather than overall survival (OS) benefit. There is debate about the significance of this lack of OS, acknowledging the potential confounders of the chronic nature of the disease, study design and competing harms and benefits of exposure to AHCT. Indeed upfront AHCT may not be as uniquely beneficial as we once thought, and is not without risk. New quadruple-agent regimens are highly active and effective in achieving a deep response as quantified by measurable residual disease (MRD). The high dose chemotherapy administered with AHCT imposes a burden of short and long-term adverse effects, which may alter the disease course and patient's ability to tolerate future therapies. Some high-risk subgroups may have a more valuable benefit from AHCT, though still ultimately suffer poor outcomes. When compared to the outcomes of CAR T cell therapy, the question of whether AHCT can or indeed should be deferred has become an important topic in the field. Deferring AHCT may be a personalized decision in patients who achieve MRD negativity, which is now well established as a key prognostic factor for PFS and OS. Reserving or re-administering AHCT at relapse is feasible in many cases and holds the promise of resetting the T cell compartment and opening up options for immune reengagement. It is likely that personalized MRD-guided decision making will shape how we sequence in the future, though more studies are required to delineate when this is safe and appropriate.

    Abstract Standard textbook derivations of the equilibrium distribution function rely on assumptions that may not satisfy all readers. Here, we present a straightforward approach to derive the equilibrium distribution function from the microscopic dynamics, and review how it can be used to obtain the expected expressions. In molecular dynamics simulations the equations of motion are often modified to simulate different ensembles or phenomena. We show that in some cases these equations will sample an equilibrium ensemble whereas in other cases they will not. For example, we find that for charged particles driven by a field, an equilibrium distribution is only possible when the system is confined. Furthermore, the approach correctly predicts that neither SLLOD shear flow dynamics nor constant temperature dynamics with a Berendsen thermostat sample any time-independent phase space distributions.

    Title translation Update on the diagnosis and management of SIADH and Diabetes insipidus.
    Abstract Dysnatremia is a common occurrence in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with higher mortality and risk for septic conditions. The pathomechanisms are probably multifaceted, but severe hyponatremia may also occur as a result of underlying SIADH or hypocortisolism. Patients with preexisting AVP dysfunction, like SIADH or diabetes insipidus, are at high risk for severe electrolyte imbalances in the event of a COVID-19 infection.The recently growing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in oncology is associated with a spectrum of endocrine immune-related adverse events (endocrine irAEs). These AEs usually occur unpredictably and may even manifest after discontinuation of the anticancer therapy. Hyponatremia is a common factor of several endocrine irAEs and may serve as a red flag biomarker for possibly underlying endocrine irAEs such as hypophysitis or adrenalitis. New-onset hyponatremia should always prompt a comprehensive diagnostic workup and exclusion of endocrine irAEs before the diagnosis of SIADH is made.Hyponatremia with severe symptoms should be treated with hypertonic (3 %) saline solution to resolve the cerebral edema and prevent from detrimental neurological sequelae. Both rapid intermittent bolus (RIB) therapy and continuous infusion therapy have now been reported to be safe and equally effective. The RIB therapy limits the risk of overcorrection and requires less often re-lowering treatment than continuous infusion therapy.Fluid restriction has long been considered as first-line treatment of chronic hyponatremia due to SIADH. Additional treatment with Furosemid and/or oral NaCl tablets does not improve efficacy but reduces tolerance to therapy.Copeptin-based dynamic tests show higher diagnostic accuracy in the differential diagnosis of patients with hypotonic polyuria polydipsia syndrome than the indirect water deprivation test.

    Abstract Understanding natural protein evolution and designing novel proteins are motivating interest in development of high-throughput methods to explore large sequence spaces. In this work, we demonstrate the application of multisite λ dynamics (MSλD), a rigorous free energy simulation method, and chemical denaturation experiments to quantify evolutionary selection pressure from sequence-stability relationships and to address questions of design. This study examines a mesophilic phylogenetic clade of ribonuclease H (RNase H), furthering its extensive characterization in earlier studies, focusing on

    Abstract In this paper we demonstrate that the weak temperature dependence of structure factor of supercooled liquids, a defining feature of the glass transition, is a consequence of the averaging of the scattering intensity either due to the use of an incoherent radiation source or explicit angular averaging. We show that the speckle scattering at individual wavevectors, calculated from a simulated glass former, exhibits a Debye-Waller factor with a sufficiently large temperature dependence to represent a structural order parameter capable of distinguishing liquid from glass. We also extract from the speckle intensities a quantity proportional to the variance of the local restraint, i.e. a direct experimental measure of the amplitude of structural heterogeneity.

    Abstract Objective: How we express and describe emotion is shaped by sociocultural norms. These sociocultural norms may also affect emotional self-awareness, i.e., how we identify and make sense of our own emotions. Previous studies have found lower emotional self-awareness in East Asian compared to Western samples using self-report measures. However, studies using behavioural methods did not provide clear evidence of reduced emotional self-awareness in East Asian groups. This may be due to different measurement tools capturing different facets of emotional self-awareness.
    Results: To investigate this issue further, we compared the emotional self-awareness of Japanese (n = 29) and United Kingdom (UK) (n = 43) adults using the self-report Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), alongside two behavioural measures - the Emotional Consistency Task (EC-Task) and the Photo Emotion Differentiation Task (PED-Task). Japanese adults showed higher TAS-20 scores than UK participants, indicating greater self-reported difficulties with emotional self-awareness. Japanese participants also had lower EC-Task scores than UK adults, indicating a lower ability to differentiate between levels of emotional intensity. PED-Task performance did not show clear group differences. These findings suggest that cross-cultural differences in emotional self-awareness vary with the task used, because different tasks assess distinct aspects of this ability. Future research should attempt to capture these different aspects of emotional self-awareness.

    Abstract Case: A 16-year-old, right-hand-dominant, Asian male, elite tennis player presented to the clinic with a 1-month history of left shoulder pain. Originally, the pathology was believed to be shoulder-based, but lack of improvement after several weeks of therapy warranted further imaging, which ultimately revealed a nondisplaced fracture of the posterior left first rib.
    Conclusion: Stress injuries are not uncommon in the sport of tennis, but atraumatic rib fractures are rare. Given the increase in youth sports specialization and overtraining and other risk factors such as adolescent age and race, it is important to keep rib stress fracture on the differential.

    Abstract Event-related potentials (ERPs) represent the cortical processing of sensory, motor or cognitive functions invoked by particular events or stimuli. A current theory posits that the catecholaminergic neurotransmitters dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) modulate a number of endogenous ERPs during various cognitive processes. This manuscript aims to evaluate a leading neurotransmitter hypothesis with a systematic overview and meta-analysis of pharmacologic DA and NE manipulation of specific ERPs in healthy subjects during executive function.
