Pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as a hilar mass.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a great mimicker due to its various unusual and atypical presentations. Mass-like lesions in thoracic radiology may raise the suspicion of lung malignancy. A man in his early 50s complained of cough, low-grade fever and dyspnoea.

A robust Parkinson's disease detection model based on time-varying synaptic efficacy function in spiking neural network.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting millions of people around the world. Conventional PD detection algorithms are generally based on first and second-generation artificial neural network (ANN) models which consume high energy and have complex architecture. Considering these limitations, a time-varying synaptic efficacy function based leaky-integrate and fire neuron model, called SEFRON is used for the detection of PD.

Structural determinants of co-translational protein complex assembly.

Protein assembly into functional complexes is critical to life's processes. While complex assembly is classically described as occurring between fully synthesized proteins, recent work showed that co-translational assembly is prevalent in human cells. However, the biological basis for the existence of this process and the identity of protein pairs that assemble co-translationally remain unknown.

The positive implication of natural antioxidants on oxidative stress-mediated diabetes mellitus complications.

The complementary intervention to modulate diabetes mellitus (DM) metabolism has recently brought the global attention, since DM has become among the global burden diseases. Where, several related pathways elevate the production of superoxide in consequences. For example, the flux of glycation-derived end products (AGEs) could lead to the deactivation of insulin signaling pathways.
