The efficient conversion of xylose is a short board of cask effect to lignocellulosic biorefining, by markedly affecting the total economic and environmental benefits. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the current commercial status of traditional xylose utilization and industrial technology development, this review outlines new technological avenues for the efficient utilization of xylose from lignocellulosic biomass, focusing on super prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides and multifunctional platform compound xylonic acid. Firstly, the traditional products that can be derived from lignocellulosic xylose, including xylitol (447.

However, robust methods for validating the accuracy of these models remain limited, and manual inspection is often necessary before the segmentation masks produced by these models can be used.
Methods: To address this gap, we have developed a novel validation framework for segmentation models, leveraging data augmentation to assess model consistency.
Aim: Emerging resistance among pathogens necessitates the development of novel antimicrobial agents. As a result, we aimed to synthesize new coumarins and study their antimicrobial activity with the hope of obtaining effective drugs.
Method: A series of coumarins were synthesized, characterized, and assessed for antimicrobial activity using broth microdilution and agar diffusion methods against Gram-positive (), Gram-negative () bacteria, and fungi ().

Background: Electrosurgery is widely used in all surgical specialities. There is evidence that surgeons in different disciplines and with different experience levels have an inadequate understanding of the basics of electrosurgery and its complications. This can increase the risk of electrosurgical complications.

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia, yet the efficacy of its supplementation during pregnancy in reducing preeclampsia incidence remains uncertain.
Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on the incidence of preeclampsia and related maternal and neonatal outcomes.
