Predicting the potential distribution of stingless bee, Tetragonula iridipennis in India using MaxEnt and CMIP6 climate projections.

Tetragonula iridipennis Smith, commonly known as the stingless bee or 'dammer bee', is a key native species that pollinates a wide variety of horticultural crops, including onions, in India. Climate change significantly affects species distribution and habitat suitability. This study utilized Maximum Entropy Modeling (MaxEnt) to predict the current and future distribution of T.

Radiomics for differentiating adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in non-small cell lung cancer beyond nodule morphology in chest CT.

Distinguishing between primary adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) within non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours holds significant management implications. We assessed the performance of radiomics-based models in distinguishing primary there is from SCC presenting as lung nodules on Computed Tomography (CT) scans. We studied individuals with histopathologically proven adenocarcinoma or SCC type NSCLC tumours, detected as lung nodules on Chest CT.

Efficacy of two novel antifungal lipopeptides, AF and AF of bacillomycin D family in murine models of invasive candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and aspergillosis.

Invasive fungal diseases are an important public health concern due to an increase in the at-risk population and high mortality associated with these infections. Managing invasive fungal infections poses a significant challenge given the limited antifungal options and the emergence of resistance in key fungal pathogens. Through a comprehensive approach, we evaluated the in vitro antifungal activity and the in vivo efficacy of two novel lipopeptides, AF and AF in murine models of disseminated candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and aspergillosis.

Vitrification and rapid rewarming of precision-cut liver slices for pharmacological and biomedical research.

Background And Aims: High-throughput in vitro pharmacological toxicity testing is essential for drug discovery. Precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) provide a robust system for screening that is more representative of the complex 3D structure of the whole liver than isolated hepatocytes. However, PCLS are not available as off-the-shelf products, significantly limiting their translational potential.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Spectral Doppler Indices and Sonoelastography in Predicting Malignancy in Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System 3 Breast Lesions With Histopathology as the Reference Standard.

Introduction Breast cancer is a significant health concern in India, representing a large portion of all cancers affecting women and ranking as one of the most common cancers overall. Reliable diagnostic tools are essential for accurately predicting malignancy and reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies. A Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System (BI-RADS) 3 designation suggests a low likelihood of cancer, indicating that findings are likely benign.
