Accurate drug-target binding affinity (DTA) prediction is crucial in drug discovery. Recently, deep learning methods for DTA prediction have made significant progress. However, there are still two challenges: (1) recent models always ignore the correlations in drug and target data in the drug/target representation process and (2) the interaction learning of drug-target pairs always is by simple concatenation, which is insufficient to explore their fusion.

Background: There are hundreds of pathogens that cause lung infections. Compared to infections caused by a single pathogen, mixed infections account for a larger proportion of pulmonary infections and have a more severe clinical presentation, while treatment options differ between the two. We aimed to explore the advantages of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis and treatment of mixed infections.

Background: Limited information is available regarding the clinical features and outcomes of advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Taiwan, despite expanding treatment options for this distinct subtype. The present study explored the clinical features and outcomes of HER2-mutant NSCLC in a real-world setting.
Methods: Relevant data were collected from patients with advanced or recurrent HER2-mutant NSCLC who received systemic therapy between 2011 and 2021 and were followed up until 2022 at two medical centers in Taiwan.

Background: Nasopharyngeal stenosis (NPS) is an uncommon but significant complication that arise following tonsillectomy in adults, leading to manifestations including obstructive sleep apnea and dysphagia. This condition is often rare, underscoring the need for awareness and effective management strategies.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 48-year-old female who developed nasopharyngeal stenosis (NPS) 15 months after undergoing a tonsillectomy.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by abnormal mucus hydration due to a defective CF Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) protein, leading to the production of difficult-to-clear mucus. This causes airflow obstruction, recurrent infections, and respiratory complications. Chronic lung infections are the leading cause of death for CF patients and inhaled tobramycin is the first-in-line antibiotic treatment against these infections, mainly caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in adult patients.
