Despite significant strides in improving cancer survival rates, the global cancer burden remains substantial, with an anticipated rise in new cases. Immune checkpoints, key regulators of immune responses, play a crucial role in cancer evasion mechanisms. The discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 has revolutionized cancer treatment, with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) becoming widely prescribed.

Background: Digital dentistry has transformed all aspects of dentistry, especially prosthodontics, and is increasingly used for diagnosis, treatment planning, execution, student training, and research. This study aimed to assess the perception, attitude, and practice of digital technology in prosthodontics among dental professionals in Kerala, India.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among dental professionals in Kerala.

Objective: Evaluation of the accuracy of direct digitization of maxillary scans depending on the scanning strategy.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary model with a metal bar as a reference structure fixed between the second molars was digitized using the CEREC Primescan AC scanner (N = 225 scans). Nine scanning strategies were selected (n = 25 scans per strategy), differing in scan area segmentation (F = full jaw, H = half jaw, S = sextant) and scan movement pattern (L = linear, Z = zig-zag, C = combined).

Non-enhanced head computed tomography is widely used for patients presenting with head trauma or stroke, given acute intracranial hemorrhage significantly influences clinical decision-making. This study aimed to develop a deep learning algorithm, referred to as DeepCT, to detect acute intracranial hemorrhage on non-enhanced head computed tomography images and evaluate its clinical applicability. We retrospectively collected 1,815 computed tomography image sets from a single center for model training.

Salvianic acid A (SAA) is a catechol compound known for its diverse physiochemical functions and has significant applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. 4-Hydroxyphenylacetate-3-hydroxylase (4HPA3H) is a critical enzyme for SAA biosynthesis, and improving its activity towards p-hydroxyphenyllactate acid (4HPLA) is essential for highly efficient SAA production in stable biosynthetic pathways. To address this, the distal site and loops of the substrate pocket were modified to improve 4HPA3H catalytic activity towards 4HPLA using computer-aided molecular modification methods.
