Article Synopsis
  • Mental health disorders have become a major public health issue, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which revealed gaps in identifying and addressing at-risk populations.
  • * The study developed a machine learning-based risk assessment tool to predict anxiety, depression, and self-perceived stress using data from over 9,200 individuals from Northern Spain, utilizing novel interpretative methods to enhance understanding of risk factors.
  • * Results showed predictive accuracy in identifying high-risk groups, with significant factors like poor health and lack of social support, suggesting that such data-driven strategies could improve mental health interventions in future public health crises.

Development of dual-acting antibacterial agents containing Erlotinib, a recognized EGFR inhibitor used as an anticancer agent, with differently spaced benzenesulfonamide moieties known to bind and inhibit carbonic anhydrase (CA) or the antiviral Zidovudine. Through rational design, ten derivatives were obtained via a straightforward synthesis including a click chemistry reaction. Inhibitory activity against a panel of pathogenic carbonic anhydrases and antibacterial susceptibility of ATCC 43504 were assessed.

We present the case of a 43-year-old man with severe iron deficiency and asthenia.
