This study employed diverse in silico techniques to find the best phytochemical to block farnesyltransferase (FTase). Based on molecular docking, the top two compounds selected from a screening of 5807 phytochemical compounds from 29 medicinal plants were CID_8299 (hydroxyacetone) and CID_71346280 (1,7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4,6-heptatrien-3-one), with docking scores of -5.

- Transactional sex, the exchange of sex for money or goods, poses health risks such as HIV and mental health issues, particularly among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Nepal, an area previously under-researched.
- A study conducted with 250 GBMSM in Kathmandu Valley revealed that 16.4% had engaged in transactional sex in the past 6 months, with financial dependence and experiences of police detention being significant risk factors.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address social and legal challenges faced by GBMSM to reduce the prevalence of transactional sex and its health risks.

We challenge the dominant technology-centric narrative around clinical AI.

- Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a dietary strategy that limits daily eating to a specific time window, and this study aimed to see if it works for pregnant individuals at risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- In a 5-week trial, 32 pregnant participants either followed TRE (10-hour eating window) or usual care, with no significant differences found in glycemic control, body composition, or blood pressure between the two groups.
- While participants on TRE successfully decreased their eating window and reported increased hunger in the evening, the intervention had minimal impact on their overall diet and health outcomes.
