Metformin is a drug which has been here widely used in clinical practice.Multiple clinical trials have suggested that long-term use of metformin could result in serum vitamin B12 reduction even deficiency, while vitamin B12 deficiency might lead to peripheral neuropathy, megaloblastic anemia and aggravation of preexisting cardiovascular diseases in
Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) are a promising class of quantum algorithms for preparing approximate ground states in near-term quantum devices.Minimizing the error in such an approximation requires designing ansatzes using physical considerations that target the studied system.One such consideration is size-extensivity, meaning that the g
Patients with heroin use disorder (HUD) often exhibit trait impulsivity, which may be an important factor in and a good predictor of addiction.However, the factor structure of HUD trait impulsivity (motor, attentional, and nonplanning) and its neural correlates are not yet known.A total of 24 male volunteers with HUD and 16 healthy control voluntee
Background and purpose: We developed an automatic method to segment cardiac substructures given a radiotherapy planning CT images to support epidemiological studies or clinical trials looking at cardiac disease endpoints after radiotherapy.Material and methods: We used a most-similar atlas selection algorithm and 3D deformation combined with 30 det
