Rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) continue to rise in the United States, with many patients failing to achieve glycemic targets.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have shown promise in diabetes management, yet their adoption in primary care settings, especially among patients with T2D not using intensive insulin therapy, remains limited.

Segmenting these models into domains and classifying them into an evolutionary hierarchy hold tremendous potential for unraveling essential insights into protein function.
Results: We introduce DPAM-AI, a Domain Parser for AlphaFold Models based on Artificial Intelligence.
The importance of aerosols (particles suspended in air) produced during dental procedures became more apparent than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns over transmission of infection in these aerosols led to unprecedented disruption to dental services across the world, adversely impacting patients' oral health. This article discusses the evidence related to airborne transmission of infectious diseases and the relevance to dentistry.
