Biophysical modeling, particularly involving partial differential equations (PDEs), offers significant potential for tailoring disease treatment protocols to individual patients. However, the inverse problem-solving aspect of these models presents a substantial challenge, either due to the high computational requirements of model-based approaches or the limited robustness of deep learning (DL) methods. We propose a novel framework that leverages the unique strengths of both approaches in a synergistic manner.

Cancer care organizations often struggle to adequately address the unique needs of adolescent and young adult cancer patients, resulting in poorer outcomes compared with other age groups. Creation of adolescent and young adult cancer programs serves to bridge this gap and improve quality of care for this population. We aimed to describe the evolution and impact of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program.

Article Synopsis
  • Virus monitoring in small mammals is crucial for developing strategies to control rodent-borne zoonotic viruses, including hepatitis E virus (HEV).
  • Researchers collected 330 fecal samples from various small mammals in Northern Portugal, identifying species like Algerian mice and greater white-toothed shrews.
  • The study found HEV-3 in one fecal sample from an Algerian mouse, marking the first detection of this virus in a synanthropic rodent and highlighting the need for surveillance of potential new HEV hosts.
