Hippocrates, the "father of medicine", is the establisher of a new scientific approach in medicine. He has followed the Hellenic philosophical school that man is the measure of all things, so the "cult of health" is a part of the essence of life. He thoroughly systemized all parts of medicine. He is the establisher of positive (inductive) medicine, which throws away superstition. His approach to medicine is as that of art and natural sciences, and not only as a skill. In his teaching he uses dialectic principles, the establish concept of knowing aetiology, systematization of diagnostics and therapy. He underlined great importance of prognoses of disease based on empirics. He is the founder of holistic medicine, modern concept of psychophysiology, which significantly enabled the disclosure of the etiopathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. His teaching is persistently psychosomatic and weaves in the most modern concepts of psychiatry today. In his aphorisms he described diagnostics and enrolled the principals of treatment of different kind of psychiatry disorders as depression, mania, hysteria, neurotic disorders, psychosis and psychosomatic diseases.

RetinaRegNet: A zero-shot approach for retinal image registration.

Comput Biol Med

Electronic address:

Retinal image registration is essential for monitoring eye diseases and planning treatments, yet it remains challenging due to large deformations, minimal overlap, and varying image quality. To address these challenges, we propose RetinaRegNet, a multi-stage image registration model with zero-shot generalizability across multiple retinal imaging modalities. RetinaRegNet begins by extracting image features using a pretrained latent diffusion model.

Background: Although existing disease preparedness and response frameworks provide guidance about strengthening emergency response capacity, little attention is paid to health service continuity during emergency responses. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, there were 11,325 reported deaths due to the Ebola virus and yet disruption in access to care caused more than 10,000 additional deaths due to measles, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Low- and middle-income countries account for the largest disease burden due to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria and yet previous responses to health emergencies showed that HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria service delivery can be significantly disrupted.

Background: Health care systems and the nursing profession worldwide are being transformed by technology and digitalization. Nurses acquire digital competence through their own experience in daily practice, but also from education and training; nursing education providers thus play an important role. While nursing education providers have some level of digital competence, there is a need for ongoing training and support for them to develop more advanced skills and effectively integrate technology into their teaching.

Growth Factor Stimulation Regimes to Support the Development and Fusion of Cartilage Microtissues.

Tissue Eng Part C Methods

January 2025

Trinity Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Scaffold-free tissue engineering strategies using cellular aggregates, microtissues, or organoids as "biological building blocks" could potentially be used for the engineering of scaled-up articular cartilage or endochondral bone-forming grafts. Such approaches require large numbers of cells; however, little is known about how different chondrogenic growth factor stimulation regimes during cellular expansion and differentiation influence the capacity of cellular aggregates or microtissues to fuse and generate hyaline cartilage. In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) were additionally stimulated with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and/or transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 during both monolayer expansion and subsequent chondrogenic differentiation in a microtissue format.

In this study, we aimed to uncover novel biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that could serve as prognostic indicators or therapeutic targets. We analyzed AML microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository, identifying key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through the robust rank aggregation (RRA) approach. The functions of these DEGs were elucidated through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses.
