Network intrusion detection (NID) is an effective manner to guarantee the security of cyberspace. However, the scale of normal network traffic is much larger than intrusion traffic (i.e.

The serine protease inhibitors (Serpins) represent a diverse protein superfamily that holds paramount significance in governing vital pathophysiological processes. Their influence on critical biological pathways renders serpins highly coveted targets for drug discovery endeavors. Among the numerous members of this family, two distinct proteins, Kallistatin (encoded by the SERPINA4 gene) and Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor (PEDF, encoded by the SERPINF1 gene), stand out as secreted proteins that are abundantly present in peripheral blood.

Granulomas, organized aggregates of immune cells which form in response to (), are characteristic but not exclusive of tuberculosis (TB). Despite existing investigations on TB granulomas, the determinants that differentiate host-protective granulomas from granulomas that contribute to TB pathogenesis are often disputed. Thus, the goal of this narrative review is to help clarify the existing literature on such determinants.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and their associated morbidities demands a deeper understanding of underlying mechanism and causative factors, with the hope of developing novel therapeutic strategies. Autophagy, a conserved biological process, involves the degradation of damaged organelles or protein aggregates to maintain cellular homeostasis. Disruption of this crucial process leads to increased genomic instability, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased mitochondrial functions, and suppression of ubiquitination, leading to overall decline in quality of intracellular components.

Family resilience is critical for families recovering and growing from a cancer crisis; however, there remains a lack of universal family resilience assessment tools for families of patients with cancer. This study aimed to modify the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRA) and examine its psychometric properties. First, the FRA scale was modified into the Family Resilience Assessment Scale for Family Cancer (FRAS-FC) based on cultural adaptations and cancer population applicability.
