Harold Copping illustrated an edition of Charles Dickens' classic, "A Christmas Carol." One of the paintings of Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim in the book shows Tiny Tim wearing braces on his lower limbs. Several diagnoses of Tiny Tim's ailment have been suggested in the past but based on the details of Copping's painting we suggest that he had rickets. The above-knee braces with uprights only on the lateral side of the limbs may have been given to prevent genu valgum, a common deformity in childhood rickets.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed lung cancer treatment, yet their effectiveness appears restricted to certain patient subsets. Current clinical stratification based on PD-L1 expression offers limited predictive value. Given the mechanism of action, directly detecting spatial PD1-PD-L1 interactions might yield more precise insights into immune responses and treatment outcomes.

Development of a release test for amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) that is in vivo predictive is essential to identify optimally performing formulations early in development. For ASDs containing an enteric polymer, consideration of buffer properties is essential. Herein, release rates of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS) and ritonavir from ASDs with a 20% drug loading were compared in phosphate and bicarbonate buffers with different molarities, at pH 6.

Dynamic in vitro absorption systems and mechanistic absorption modeling via PBPK have both shown promise in predicting human oral absorption, although these efforts have been largely separate; this work aimed to integrate knowledge from these approaches to investigate the oral absorption of a RET inhibitor, pralsetinib, with BCS Class II properties. Tiny-TIM (TIM B.V.

Background: It is challenging to visually identify tiny and concealed foreign objects within the body due to their small size and subcutaneous location while they can cause infections.
Methods: A non-contact photoacoustic system based on Rosencwaig-Gersho photoacoustic theory and dual modulator method is developed for detecting foreign objects in meat.
Result: The experiments conducted validate the successful development of this measurement technique with 10 μm spatial resolution and its corresponding mathematical model, demonstrating an 11% Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) in comparison to the experimental results.
