It found altered patterns in ME/CFS patients compared to controls, particularly in proteins involved in the immune system, signal transduction, and muscle contraction.

Caixin cites Lou Jiwei as saying that China's property contraction will continue for at least another five years. I agree, and think prices will bottom out in the next year or two in the top-tier cities, but won't for many more years in lower-tiered cities.

"You found me, thank god," he panted. "Let me go, we don't have much time." As you moved to his side, he moaned loudly and a contraction visibly swept across his swollen belly. Suddenly, you realized, there wasn't much time left at all. Birthing was imminent. #mpreg #AIArt

No. The defibrillator helps keep him in normal sinus rhythm. If he went in ventricular fibrillation it would deliver a small shock to restore normal sinus rhythm (his stroke was probably from a clot forming in the heart due to irregular cardiac contraction).

“Fewer and fewer national news outlets have teams dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights coverage ... Each contraction of resources for journalists covering these topics is a huge loss for public information and a huge loss for journalism”- K Petrin, TJA
NEW: Firings of LGBTQ staff at NBC and Condé Nast have worsened an already dire picture for legacy news media when it comes to covering the trans community.

Yeah. It's the prostaglandins to stimulate contraction of smooth muscle (like uterine cramps). Unfortunately, it also affects the smooth muscles in your bowels.

In our #NeurIPS2025 paper we propose geometry-aware edge-contraction-based pooling methods for GNNs.
Our methods preserve graph structure, make interpretable pooling choices, and ensure robust performance at downstream tasks.

They’re not saying what they think they’re saying No. 4,792:
Inflation is a measure of how fast prices rise. It isn’t a measure of absolute price levels.
If prices are dropping, then we’re experiencing deflation, which is a sign of and contributor to a severe contraction of the economy.
