Insect Allergy: Barriers in Training and Practice: A Work Group Report of the AAAAI Anaphylaxis Committee.

Background: The evaluation and management of insect sting allergy is a complex core competency taught in Allergy and Immunology fellowship programs. It is unclear if current training on insect allergy is sufficient to meet the needs of the field, and what training barriers exist.

Objective: To investigate the extent of training on stinging insect allergy, and factors currently impacting stinging insect allergy clinical practice through a pilot needs-assessment survey.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Accelerating Healing and Reducing Complications in Oral Surgery.

Background: The process of curing and regaining the integrity of damaged tissues is known as healing. An autologous concentration of platelets embedded in plasma is known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of PRP in the fast healing of wounds and complications in oral surgical procedures.

Protein structures unravel the signatures and patterns of deep time evolution.

The formulation and testing of hypotheses using 'big biology data' often lie at the interface of computational biology and structural biology. The Protein Data Bank (PDB), which was established about 50 years ago, catalogs three-dimensional (3D) shapes of organic macromolecules and showcases a structural view of biology. The comparative analysis of the structures of homologs, particularly of proteins, from different species has significantly improved the in-depth analyses of molecular and cell biological questions.

Designing Lightweight 3D-Printable Bioinspired Structures for Enhanced Compression and Energy Absorption Properties.

Recent progress in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has offered several benefits, including high geometrical freedom and the ability to create bioinspired structures with intricate details. Mantis shrimp can scrape the shells of prey molluscs with its hammer-shaped stick, while beetles have highly adapted forewings that are lightweight, tough, and strong. This paper introduces a design approach for bioinspired lattice structures by mimicking the internal microstructures of a beetle's forewing, a mantis shrimp's shell, and a mantis shrimp's dactyl club, with improved mechanical properties.

Management of zygomatic fractures using different surgical approaches.

Management of zygomatic complex fractures using closed reduction, two point open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF), closed reduction with three point ORIF and two point ORIF is of interest to dentist. 150 patients with zygomatic bone fractures between the ages of 14-60 years were included in the study. At final assessment, the percentage of stable condition was greater in closed reduction + two point ORIF and closed reduction + three point ORIF when compared to two point ORIF alone and three point ORIF alone and closed reduction alone.
