Automated Prediction of Malignant Melanoma using Two-Stage Convolutional Neural Network.

Purpose: A skin lesion refers to an area of the skin that exhibits anomalous growth or distinctive visual characteristics compared to the surrounding skin. Benign skin lesions are noncancerous and generally pose no threat. These irregular skin growths can vary in appearance.

Case Series - Pediatric Tracheostomy for Upper Airway Obstruction.

Unlabelled: Certain congenital craniofacial malformations can cause upper airway obstruction. Due to neurological involvement, these craniofacial deformities with upper airway blockage frequently require tracheostomy. Children who need weeks or months of continuous ventilator assistance require tracheostomies, which improve pulmonary toilet and decrease laryngotracheal lesions such subglottic stenosis and tracheomalacia.

Comparative anti-Diabetic potential of phytocompounds from Dr. Duke's phytochemical and ethnobotanical database and standard antidiabetic drugs against diabetes hyperglycemic target proteins: an validation.

In the current investigation, the antidiabetic potential of 40 phytocompounds from Dr. Dukes phytochemical and ethanobotanical database and three antidiabetic pharmaceuticals from the market comparatively validated against hyperglycemic target proteins. Silymarin, proanthocyanidins, merremoside, rutin, mangiferin-7-O-beta-glucoside, and gymnemic acid exhibited good binding affinity toward protein targets of diabetes among the 40 phytocompounds from Dr.

Influence of freeze-drying and fresh cooking on starch morphology and physicochemical and thermal properties of various tropical tubers.

Flours and starches extracted from the tropical tubers underwent freeze-drying and cooking in comparison with fresh cooking. Freeze-dried and cooked starch (FDS) granules were found to have different shapes and collapsed arrangement whereas freshly cooked starch (FCS) granules had the least varied structures. The freeze-dried flours had larger structures compared to freshly cooked flours.

Multiple drug resistant carbapenemases producing Acinetobacter baumannii isolates harbours multiple R-plasmids.

Background & Objectives: The nosocomial human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii has high propensity to develop resistance to antimicrobials and to become multidrug resistant (MDR), consequently complicating the treatment. This study was carried out to investigate the presence of resistant plasmids (R-plasmids) among the clinical isolates of A. baumannii.
