The photoelectrochemical oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a biomass-derived intermediate, to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key building block for industrial applications, is a well-studied anodic reaction. This photoelectrochemical (PEC) conversion typically requires an electron mediator, such as TEMPO, regardless of the semiconductor used. Various electrocatalysts can also perform this reaction electrochemically, without additional organic species in the electrolyte.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have emerged as a powerful tool in artificial intelligence, particularly for unsupervised learning. This systematic review analyzes GAN applications in healthcare, focusing on image and signal-based studies across various clinical domains. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we reviewed 72 relevant journal articles.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the fusion protein BCR::ABL1, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. The frontline treatment, represented by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes of patients. However, TKI resistance through various mechanisms has been reported.

Background: Targeted and immune therapies have recently been associated with the occurrence of multiple cutaneous toxicities, often challenging to differentiate by clinical examination alone without histology. Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a non-invasive and innovative imaging technique that has been shown to be almost as effective as histology in diagnosing several skin conditions. Our study aimed to assess the effectiveness of LC-OCT in predicting the clinical evolution of early maculopapular eruptions related to antineoplastic targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • Age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, known as sarcopenia, can negatively impact postoperative recovery in older patients, especially those with severe osteoarthritis who need knee surgery.
  • This study reviews existing literature on the effectiveness of prehabilitation and dietary supplementation in improving outcomes for older sarcopenic patients before knee arthroplasty, focusing on interventions that enhance physical function and surgical resilience.
  • Combining exercise training with nutrient supplementation may lead to better functional capacity and reduced surgical complications, highlighting the importance of addressing both sarcopenia and osteoarthritis in this demographic.
