The vast majority of chemical knowledge exists in unstructured natural language, yet structured data is crucial for innovative and systematic materials design. Traditionally, the field has relied on manual curation and partial automation for data extraction for specific use cases. The advent of large language models (LLMs) represents a significant shift, potentially enabling non-experts to extract structured, actionable data from unstructured text efficiently.

Article Synopsis
  • Marginal cord insertion (MCI) is considered a pathological condition that requires early diagnosis and understanding its risk factors can improve prenatal care.
  • A meta-analysis of 18 studies revealed that the prevalence of MCI in singleton pregnancies is 5.71%, identifying significant risk factors such as assisted reproductive technology, chronic hypertension, placenta previa, and nulliparity.
  • The analysis followed strict guidelines and methods to ensure quality, indicating that factors like smoking, maternal age, and prior Cesarean sections were not significantly associated with MCI.

Pastry products constitute a significant segment of the food market. However, the high amount of fat used in their production poses a challenge when competing for the attention of modern consumers, who are more conscious of the health problems associated with the consumption of high-fat products. With this in mind, the main objective of this study is the reduction of the total fat and saturated fat contents of two bakery products, brioche-type bread and rice cake, by partial substitution of the main fat source with lipid extracts obtained through non-thermal high-pressure extraction (HPE).

Ductal carcinomas, a variant of salivary gland cancer, are characterized by concurrent androgen receptor (AR) positivity and overexpression of HER2, making them potential targets for tailored therapies extensively explored in literature. We present two consecutive cases of patients diagnosed with inoperable metastatic ductal carcinoma, both displaying HER2 overexpression and AR positivity, who underwent combination therapy involving chemotherapy and dual targeted agents. Both patients diagnosed with centralized inoperable ductal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed and received trastuzumab, docetaxel, leuprolide and bicalutamida as first-line therapy until progression, defined by RECIST criteria.
