Article Synopsis
- - The study explored the effectiveness of combining curcumin with docetaxel for patients with advanced and metastatic breast cancer, focusing on whether this combination improved treatment response rates.
- - Conducted across multiple centers, the research included 42 patients and aimed to compare the objective response rates and other clinical outcomes between the two treatment groups but found no significant differences.
- - Ultimately, the study concluded that adding curcumin to docetaxel did not enhance efficacy and was deemed safe, leading to the decision to stop the trial due to lack of meaningful results, while suggesting further research with adjustments for more conclusive findings.
In today's digital landscape, securing multimedia visual information-specifically color images-is of critical importance across a range of sectors, including the burgeoning fields of logistics and supply chain management. Traditional Visual Cryptography (VC) schemes lay the groundwork for encrypting visual data by fragmenting a secret image into multiple shares, thereby ensuring no single share divulges the secret. Nevertheless, VC faces challenges in ascertaining the integrity of reconstructed images, especially when shares are manipulated maliciously.

Background: In India, competency-based medical education (CBME) is gaining foothold to transform the medical student into a doctor fulfilling community and societal needs. With that end in view the teaching faculty are getting sensitized and trained by the National Faculty Development Program (FDP). We aimed to assess the awareness about FDP among teaching faculty in medical colleges and study the attitude and perceived barriers to implementation of CBME.
