By roughly mimicking the surface architectural design of dragonfly wings, novel bi-phasic 3D nanoflowers of MgO/Mg(OH) were successfully synthesized via the electrospinning technique. The 3D nanoflowers were coated over a commercial melamine sponge and extensively characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS. The formation of distinct dense 3D nano petals was revealed by SEM images whereby the mean petal thickness and mean distance between the adjacent petals were found to be 36 nm and 121 nm, respectively.

- The study assessed six different diagnostic approaches using MRI targeted biopsy for prostate cancer, focusing on their cost-effectiveness in Singapore's healthcare context.
- A combined decision tree and Markov model was created for males around 65 years old undergoing initial biopsies, comparing strategies that included MRI targeted biopsy and systematic/saturation biopsies.
- Results indicated that certain strategies (MRI targeted biopsy alone and combined with systematic biopsy) were cost-effective below a $20,000 willingness-to-pay threshold, while repeat biopsy strategies were less effective, with costs influenced mainly by prostate cancer prevalence and discount rates.
