Article Synopsis
  • Developments in bioengineering and nanotechnology are advancing research on biological communication systems, but challenges arise from the delayed arrival of molecules that can distort data signals.
  • Existing models typically overlook the complexities of detecting distorted signals at the receiver, focusing too much on channel characteristics.
  • The paper introduces BioRxToolbox, a framework for designing effective molecular communication systems that uses specific techniques to minimize signal interference and efficiently encode and decode information in biological settings.

Background: Methotrexate (MTX) and leflunomide (LEF) play fundamental roles in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment and require proper monitoring of side effects. Concerns about MTX/LEF-related liver fibrosis (LF) in patients with RA remain unclear. This study investigated liver stiffness using two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) in RA patients undergoing disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy.

First-line treatment for advanced-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) typically involves 6x R-CHOP21 or 6x R-CHOP21 with two additional rituximab administrations (6x R-CHOP21 + 2 R). In contemporary practice, this treatment choice might be guided by interim PET scan results. This nationwide, population-based study investigates the comparative effectiveness of these treatment regimens in an era where interim PET-guided treatment decisions were not standard practice.
