Article Synopsis
  • Ebola virus (EBOV) is a highly deadly RNA virus that currently lacks effective treatments or vaccines, necessitating the urgent need for new therapeutic solutions.
  • In this study, researchers used in silico methods to evaluate natural products from traditional Chinese medicine against four critical EBOV proteins, employing molecular docking to assess their potential effectiveness.
  • The findings identified eight promising compounds with strong inhibitory effects on EBOV proteins, indicating their potential as antiviral agents due to their favorable interaction with protein residues and acceptable pharmacokinetic profiles.

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by granulomas, the etiology of which remains unclear. This study examines sarcoidosis-related mortality trends in the United States from 1999 to 2020, with a focus on disparities pertaining to patient sex, geographical location, and urbanization status.

Methods: We analyzed death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database, using ICD-10 code D86.

Article Synopsis
  • This study used wind tunnel experiments to analyze wind speed distribution around two high-rise buildings on a tropical urban campus.
  • The vertical wind profiles were affected by wind direction, building arrangement, and geometry, revealing how these factors influenced wind flow interactions.
  • Findings indicated that building layout significantly impacts wind speeds at canopy height, with vortex influences extending to distances proportional to each building's height.

: The mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway is a central regulator of cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and survival. Dysregulation of mTOR signaling contributes to many human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Therefore, inhibitors against mTOR's catalytic kinase domain (KD) have been developed and have shown significant antitumor activities, making it a promising therapeutic target.

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as an effective treatment for managing chronic pain that is unresponsive to traditional therapies. While SCS is well documented for conditions like failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), its effectiveness in managing pain related to spinal cord injuries (SCI) is less studied. This study aims to assess the efficacy of SCS in alleviating SCI-related pain and improving patients' quality of life, filling a gap in the existing literature.
