Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of deep-learning-based auto-contouring in delineating clinical target volumes (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) for prostate cancer radiotherapy, comparing it to traditional manual methods.
- It involved analyzing 28 planning CT volumes with three contour types: original, auto-segmented, and expert-defined, examining dosimetric characteristics through various metrics like dose-volume histograms and homogeneity indices.
- Results showed automated contours had smaller geometric differences from manual contours than variations between different experts, and the automated process also significantly reduced contouring time while maintaining comparable dosimetric accuracy.
This study aimed to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2, yeasts, and bacteria in isolated free-living amoeba (FLA) from COVID-19 patients. Nasopharyngeal swabs ( = 60) were obtained from COVID-19 patients. After cultivation, morphological characterization, and RNA/DNA extraction, the presence of selected microorganisms was investigated.

- * After the intervention, significant improvements were observed in the intervention group across knowledge, attitude, and practice compared to the control group, with statistical significance noted (P<0.001).
- * Results indicate that while the oral health knowledge of PHCPs was lacking, the flipped educational program effectively enhanced their understanding and approach, suggesting its potential incorporation into academic and continuing education frameworks.
A low-cost, lab-made polytetrafluoroethylene micro-cell, equipped with three electrodes, wasd eveloped for the impedimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2. The gold working electrode was modified with a double-ended thiolated poly-adenine probe, which was conjugated with magnetic Fe₃O₄@Au nanoparticles (FeO@Au-(S-polyA-S)-Au). After the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of viral RNA, the single-guide RNA (sgRNA), specifically bound to the SARS-CoV-2 target sequence, activates Cas12a.
