Digital pathology (DP) has begun to play a key role in the evaluation of liver specimens. Recent studies have shown that a workflow that combines DP and artificial intelligence (AI) applied to histopathology has potential value in supporting the diagnosis, treatment evaluation, and prognosis prediction of liver diseases. Here, we provide a systematic review of the use of this workflow in the field of hepatology.

Over recent years, the surge in mobile communication has deepened global connectivity. With escalating demands for faster data rates, the push for higher carrier frequencies intensifies. The 7-20 GHz range, located between the 5G sub-6 GHz and the mm-wave spectra, provides an excellent trade-off between network capacity and coverage, and constitutes a yet-to-be-explored range for 5G and 6G applications.

In this paper, we exploit the enhanced penetration reachable through inhomogeneous waves to induce hyperthermia in biological tissues. We will present a leaky-wave antenna inspired by the Menzel antenna which has been shortened through opportune design and optimizations and that has been designed to optimize the penetration at the interface with the skin, allowing penetration in the skin layer at a constant temperature, and enhanced penetration in the overall structure considered. Past papers both numerically and analytically demonstrated the possibility of reducing the attenuation that the electromagnetic waves are subject to when travelling inside a lossy medium by using inhomogeneous waves.

Quality by Design (QbD) principles play an increasingly important role in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we used an analytical QbD (AQbD) approach to develop a capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulfate under reducing conditions (rCE-SDS), with the aim of replacing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) as release and stability test method for a commercialized monoclonal antibody product. Method development started with defining analytical method performance requirements as part of an analytical target profile, followed by a systematic risk assessment of method input parameters and their relation to defined method outputs.
