Collaborative filtering (CF) techniques are used in recommender systems to provide users with specialised recommendations on social websites and in e-commerce. But they suffer from sparsity and cold start problems (CSP) and fail to interpret why they recommend a new item. A novel deep ranking weighted multihash recommender (DRWMR) system is designed to suppress sparsity and CSP.

This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of crenolanib, a potent, selective inhibitor of PDGFR-mediated phosphorylation, in pediatric patients with high-grade glioma (HGG).
Methods: We used a rolling-6 design to study the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of once-daily crenolanib administered during and after focal radiation therapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) (stratum A) or with recurrent/progressive HGG (stratum B).
Background: A plethora of chemicals exists in human body which can alter physiology in one way or other. Scientists have always been astounded by such abilities of chemicals but as the technology advances, even the chemical which was once expected to be well known changes its status to not really well known. Adenosine is one of the chemicals which is in consonance with the aforementioned statements, although previous articles have covered vast information on role of adenosine in cardiovascular physiology, bacterial pathophysiology and inflammatory diseases.

Hence, early diagnosis of spine infection and early initiation of appropriate therapy are important in ensuring successful treatment and preventing further morbidity.
Materials And Methods: The study included 22 males and 12 females who were known case of end-stage renal disease undergoing haemodialysis therapy and diagnosed with spondylodiscitis based on the clinical and radiological signs.
Statement Of Problem: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance polymer that is increasingly used in dentistry, for example, as a framework for implant-supported fixed complete dentures. One protocol calls for individual lithium disilicate crowns to be cemented on preparation-shaped retentive elements on the framework. However, the flexibility and strength of the bonded system is unclear.

With modern advancements in CAD/CAM technology, the ease and predictability of such complex cases is vastly improved. However, certain clinical situations remain that preclude the traditional implementation of this controlled approach to implant planning/placement and the current solutions to these problems each impose some level of compromise.

However, when a flexible PRDP is used to replace several missing teeth, especially when no occlusal rests or vertical stops are present, rotation and sinking of the denture base and resorption of the residual ridge tend to occur. This may result in the concentration of excessive force in the resin clasp, along with clasp deformation or fracture, and compression of the marginal gingiva.
