Background: The entity assignment of salivary gland tumors (SGT) based on histomorphology can be challenging. Raman spectroscopy has been applied to analyze differences in the molecular composition of tissues. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of RS for entity assignment in SGT.
Methods: Raman data were collected in deparaffinized sections of pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC). Multivariate data and chemometric analysis were completed using the Unscrambler software.
Results: The Raman spectra detected in ACC samples were mostly assigned to nucleic acids, lipids, and amides. In a principal component-based linear discriminant analysis (LDA) 18 of 20 tumor samples were classified correctly.
Conclusion: In this proof of concept study, we show that a reliable SGT diagnosis based on LDA algorithm appears possible, despite variations in the entity-specific mean spectra. However, a standardized workflow for tissue sample preparation, measurement setup, and chemometric algorithms is essential to get reliable results.

Cembranoid diterpenes are characteristic compounds of soft corals with diverse structures and significant activities, making them an important source of drug lead compounds. In this paper, five new cembranoid diterpenes, meijicrassolins A-E (-), were isolated from the soft coral , along with five previously reported compounds (-). The structures and absolute configuration for new compounds - were assigned by extensive spectroscopic analysis, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, quantum mechanical nuclear magnetic resonance (QM-NMR), and time-dependent density functional theory/electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT/ECD) calculations.

IPE occurs when two or more professions learn from, about and with each other regarding effective collaboration and the improvement of health outcomes. Current academic programs focus more on traditional approaches to training physicians, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists and nurses like they were independent entities.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine preoperative patient- and fracture-related risk factors for estimating the risk of fracture sequelae after surgically treated proximal humerus fractures (PHF) using locking plate osteosynthesis. The purpose was to develop a fracture sequelae risk score as an additional tool to facilitate the treatment strategy for PHF.
Methods: All patients with PHF who underwent surgery with locking plate osteosynthesis were included.

Background Context: Primary spondylodiscitis occurs through the hematogenous spread of a pathogen entering the body via a point of entry. The infection's origin often remains unclear. During dental procedures or through minor traumas, oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream and disseminate throughout the body.

Can artificial intelligences (AIs) be held accountable for moral transgressions? Current research examines how attributing human mind to AI influences the blame assignment to both the AI and the humans involved in real-world moral transgressions. We hypothesized that perceiving AI as having a human mind-like qualities would increase moral blame directed towards AI while decreasing blame attribution to human agents involved. Through three empirical studies-utilizing correlational methods with real-life inspired scenarios in Study 1 and employing experimental manipulations in Studies 2 and 3-our findings demonstrate that perceiving mind in AI increases the likelihood of blaming AIs for moral transgressions.
