Man's desire to conquer diseases and to find a cure for them exists from the beginnings of humankind However the first scientific discoveries of substances with antibacterial effects originate from 1877 and they are attributed to the researches of Louis Pasteur Ever since, we have been living in so-called antimicrobial era. The battle between microorganisms, trying to survive antimicrobials, and man's wish to conquer diseases, resulted in the development of resistance to antimicrobials, but simultaneously led to the development of novel antimicrobials. Their role is primarily in therapy of complicated and polymicrobial infections caused by multiresistant strains. In spite of precisely defined legal obligations, the usage of antimicrobials in Serbia is still very problematic due to their availability in pharmacies without prescription, and lack of local strategies for antimicrobial resistance surveillance.

Photoimmunologic Therapy of Stubborn Biofilm via Inhibiting Bacteria Revival and Preventing Reinfection.
Adv Mater

Stubborn biofilm infections pose serious threats to public health. Clinical practices highly rely on mechanical debridement and antibiotics, which often fail and lead to persistent and recurrent infections. The main culprits are 1) persistent bacteria reviving, colonizing, and rejuvenating biofilms, and 2) secondary pathogen exposure, particularly in individuals with chronic diseases.

Background: Robust registration of thoracic computed tomography (CT) images is strongly impacted by motion during acquisition, high-density objects, and noise, particularly in lower-dose acquisitions. Despite the enhanced registration speed achieved by popular deep learning (DL) methods, their robustness is often neglected. This study aimed to develop a robust thoracic CT image registration algorithm to address the aforementioned issues.

Nanozymes with multienzyme-like activity have sparked significant interest in anti-tumor therapy via responding to the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, the consequent induction of protective autophagy substantially compromises the therapeutic efficacy. Here, a targeted nanozyme system (Fe-Arg-CDs@ZIF-8/HAD, FZH) is shown, which enhances synergistic anti-tumor ferroptosis/apoptosis therapy by leveraging machine learning (ML).

Purpose: The fragility index (FI) is an adjunctive metric to facilitate the interpretation of p-values in clinical trials. The FI has not been studied in phase 3 trials in pediatric oncology.
Methods: PubMed was used to identify phase 3 pediatric oncology trials published between 1980 and 2020.

Epigenetic clocks can quantify DNA methylation by measuring the methylation levels at specific sites in the genome, which correlate with biological age (BA). Accelerated aging, where BA exceeds chronologic age, has been studied in relation to cancer development, but its utility in cancer prevention remains unclear. Accelerated aging holds promise as a tool to explain the increase in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC).
