LiteMamba-Bound: A Lightweight Mamba-based Model with Boundary-Aware and Normalized Active Contour Loss for Skin Lesion Segmentation.

In the field of medical science, skin segmentation has gained significant importance, particularly in dermatology and skin cancer research. This domain demands high precision in distinguishing critical regions (such as lesions or moles) from healthy skin in medical images. With growing technological advancements, deep learning models have emerged as indispensable tools in addressing these challenges.

Fixed dosing of alpelisib for children with vascular anomalies: Can we do better?

Severe forms of vascular malformations (VM) can highly impact patients' quality of life and lead to life-threatening organ dysfunction. Numerous VM are caused by somatic activating mutations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. Alpelisib, a PIK3CA inhibitor was recently FDA-approved for paediatric PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndrome (PROS).

Diversity of Mycotoxins in Stored Paddy Rice: Contamination Patterns in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

Rice ( L.) is the most important food in Vietnam. However, rice is often lost in post-harvest due to fungal growth and mycotoxins contamination.

Optimizing adsorption and photocatalysis for tetracycline and sulfamethoxazole removal: the role of Ag and NH in Bi-MOF derivatives.

This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of the photocatalytic efficiency of bismuth-based metal-organic frameworks (Bi-MOFs) and their derivatives, specifically Ag/Bi-MOF and NH /Ag/Bi-MOF, in the degradation of tetracycline (TC) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) under visible light irradiation. Bi-MOFs are promising photocatalysts due to their large surface area, tunable porosity, and unique electronic properties that are favorable for visible light absorption. In this study, Bi-MOFs were synthesized using a solvothermal method, with the incorporation of silver (Ag) and ammonium (NH ) ions to enhance their photocatalytic performance.

Patient Experience Regarding Medication-Related Information Received in a Rural Private Polyclinic Setting in Vietnam.

Inadequate provision of medication-related information can lead to nonadherence to treatment. This study aims to investigate patient satisfaction regarding medication-related information provided by healthcare professionals and to identify factors associated with patient experience regarding information. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in October 2023 among 400 patients at a rural private polyclinic in Ben Tre, Vietnam by using a self-administered questionnaire.
