"The political novel, which enjoyed a steep yet short rise to international renown between the 1830s and the 1910s, is primarily concerned with the nation’s political future. It offers a characterization of the present, a blueprint of the future, and the image of the heroes needed to get there. With the standing it gained during its meteoric rise, the political novel helped elevate the novel altogether to become the leading literary genre of the twentieth century worldwide. Focusing on its adaptation in the Chinese context, Catherine Vance Yeh traces the genre from Disraeli’s England through Europe and the United States to East Asia. Her study goes beyond comparative approaches and natio...

Oxidative stress plays multiple roles in the pathobiology of several neurodegenerative disorders and Alzheimer’s disease in particular. Increased oxidative stress in the brain is suggested to be associated with aging, greater amounts of easily oxidizable unsaturated fatty acids, higher utilization of oxygen by the brain, mitochondrial-derived free radicals, calcium homeostasis, and glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. Moreover, environmental chemicals/toxins, heavy metals, and an imbalanced diet might increase oxidative stress potentially leading to a decrease in cognitive functions. Cellular health is also dependent on the levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). It has been well ...

Deep learning techniques have been shown to successfully address many medical image technical problems, e.g., segmentation, lesion detection, image registration, etc., better than ever. Accordingly, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medicine is continuously booming in these years for the attempt to improve various image-related medical procedures and workflows. The applications aim to improve the workup of image diagnosis, optimize the imaging workflow, offload the tedious medical tasks, and provide richer and more holistic cues for treatment planning. Specific prominent applications may range from lesion detections like pulmonary nodules and breast lesions, can...
