Breast cancer has the highest global incidence among all cancers, affecting more than 2 million individuals annually. Despite the availability of new drugs and novel treatment combinations, it is postulated that the incidence and mortality of breast cancer will rise by 40.8% and 51.

Here, we attempt to address this gap using a novel Operative Value Index (OVI), which combines a procedure-specific patient-reported outcome with intraoperative cost data based on time-driven activity-based costing.
Methods: MD (n = 95) and TED (n = 23) performed by neurosurgeons at our institution from 2017 to 2022 were retrospectively identified.
The kinematic coupling during Ponseti correction in idiopathic clubfoot: A quantitative analysis.
J Clin Orthop Trauma
December 2024
Background: The study aimed to quantify and correlate kinematic coupling linkage of foot abduction (correction of adduction) and inversion, heel varus and ankle equinus for clubfeet corrected by Ponseti technique.
Methods: Measurements of foot abduction (derotation of carpopedal block), heel varus and ankle equinus were available from Dimeglio scores in 25 feet. Radiological angles were considered for foot inversion-eversion.
Article Synopsis
- Traditional recommendation systems often face challenges like low accuracy and cold-start issues, prompting the need for more effective solutions.
- The HRS-IU-DL model is a new hybrid recommendation system that combines user-based and item-based Collaborative Filtering, Neural Collaborative Filtering, and Recurrent Neural Networks with Content-Based Filtering to improve accuracy and relevance in personalized suggestions.
- Evaluated on the Movielens 100k dataset, the HRS-IU-DL model shows substantial improvements in performance metrics like RMSE and Precision, outperforming existing methods and addressing critical challenges in the field.
Article Synopsis
- The BAX inhibitor-1 (BI-1) gene family in plants regulates cell death under stress, which is important for plant development and maintaining tissue health.
- A study on cucumber identified five BI-1 genes, revealing their evolutionary relationships, molecular characteristics, and protein interactions, highlighting their potential roles in stress response.
- Elevated expression of certain BI-1 genes during cold stress and in response to viral infection suggests they could be key to developing cold-tolerant and virus-resistant cucumber varieties through breeding or genetic engineering.
