An AI-directed analytical study on the optical transmission microscopic images of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in planktonic and biofilm states.

Biofilms are resistant microbial cell aggregates that pose risks to health and food industries and produce environmental contamination. Accurate and efficient detection and prevention of biofilms are challenging and demand interdisciplinary approaches. This multidisciplinary research reports the application of a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) model for detecting biofilms produced by with high accuracy.

The role of volume averaging effects, beam hardening, and phantom scatter in dosimetry of grid therapy.

. Current reference dosimetry methods for spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) assume a negligible beam quality change, perturbation, or volume-averaging correction factor. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the impact of the grid collimators on the dosimetric characteristics of a 6 MV photon beam.

Expanding the Donor Pool to the Ultimate Level: Introducing the Revolutionary Hybrid Dual Graft Liver Transplant Using Domino and Living Donors.

Background: Innovative solutions are crucial as the demand for liver transplants continues to outpace available grafts. Dual graft liver transplantation offers a promising avenue to address graft volume challenges while minimizing donor risks. This report introduces a groundbreaking approach, combining a full organ domino donor graft with a living donor graft for a hybrid dual graft liver transplant.

Molecular recognition with resolution below 0.2 angstroms through thermoregulatory oscillations in covalent organic frameworks.

Crystalline materials with uniform molecular-sized pores are desirable for a broad range of applications, such as sensors, catalysis, and separations. However, it is challenging to tune the pore size of a single material continuously and to reversibly distinguish small molecules (below 4 angstroms). We synthesized a series of ionic covalent organic frameworks using a tetraphenoxyborate linkage that maintains meticulous synergy between structural rigidity and local flexibility to achieve continuous and reversible (100 thermal cycles) tunability of "dynamic pores" between 2.

Outbreak of waterborne acute diarrheal disease in a South District village of Tripura: A public health emergency in the Northeast region of India.

Food and waterborne outbreaks are a neglected public health problem in India. However, it is important to identify the source of infection and the causative pathogen to curb the outbreak quickly and minimize mortality and morbidity. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted with a line list of 130 diarrheal cases.
