Purpose: To assess whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based reassurance-call can inform patients about potential complications and provides reassurance following a prostate biopsy.
Materials And Methods: From October 2022 to December 2023, 42 patients aged 40 to 70 years undergoing their first prostate biopsy were recruited. The 'Reassurance-call' service was utilized to inform and monitor patients for complications.

, the most frequently isolated fungal pathogen in humans, forms biofilms that enhance resistance to antifungal drugs and host immunity, leading to frequent treatment failure. Understanding the molecular mechanisms governing biofilm formation is crucial for developing anti-biofilm therapies. In this study, we conducted a genetic screen to identify novel genes that regulate biofilm formation in .

THP-1 derived macrophages were used as a human macrophage model and were treated with strain AS1 isolated from intestinal biopsies of an IBD patient, or strain K-12. RNA was extracted and subjected to RNA sequencing and comparative transcriptomic analyses.
