This article reviews more than 50 computational resources developed in past two decades for forecasting of antibiotic resistance (AR)-associated mutations, genes and genomes. More than 30 databases have been developed for AR-associated information, but only a fraction of them are updated regularly. A large number of methods have been developed to find AR genes, mutations and genomes, with most of them based on similarity-search tools such as BLAST and HMMER. In addition, methods have been developed to predict the inhibition potential of antibiotics against a bacterial strain from the whole-genome data of bacteria. This review also discuss computational resources that can be used to manage the treatment of AR-associated diseases.

Cricket song recognition is thought to evolve through modifications of a shared neural network. However, the species has an unusual recognition pattern that challenges this view: females respond to both normal male song pulse periods and periods twice as long. Of the three minimal models tested, only a single-neuron model with an oscillating membrane could explain this unusual behavior.

Introduction: Generating physician letters is a time-consuming task in daily clinical practice.
Methods: This study investigates local fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs), specifically LLaMA models, for physician letter generation in a privacy-preserving manner within the field of radiation oncology.
Results: Our findings demonstrate that base LLaMA models, without fine-tuning, are inadequate for effectively generating physician letters.

The digitization of healthcare records has revolutionized medical research and patient care, with electronic health records (EHRs) containing a wealth of structured and unstructured data. Extracting valuable information from unstructured clinical text presents a significant challenge, necessitating automated tools for efficient data mining. Natural language processing (NLP) methods have been pivotal in this endeavor, aiming to extract crucial clinical concepts embedded within free-form text.

The SPIRIT statement, designed for trial protocol content, does not adequately cover the distinctive features of EPDF trials. Recent findings indicate that the protocol contents in past EPDF trials frequently lacked completeness and clarity.

Background: Stroke remains one of the major non-communicable public health disease conditions with resultant high morbidity and mortality. Neuroimaging in the form of Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is adjudged to be the most reliable and efficient method of accurately diagnosing stroke and ruling out differentials. However, in view of cost implication and non-availability, a clinical scoring system known as the Siriraj Stroke Score (SSS) was developed to clinically differentiate stroke types, especially in resource-limited settings.
