Massive usage of antiviral compounds during a pandemic creates an ideal ground for emergence of resistant strains. Remdesivir, a broad-spectrum inhibitor of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), was extensively prescribed under emergency use authorization during the first 18 months of the COVID19 pandemic, before randomized controlled trials showed poor efficacy in hospitalized patients. RdRp mutations conferring resistance to remdesivir are well known from in vitro studies, and the huge SARS-CoV-2 sequencing effort during the ongoing COVID19 pandemic represents an unprecedented opportunity to assess emergence and fitness of antiviral resistance in vivo. We mined the GISAID database to extrapolate the frequency of remdesivir escape mutations. Our analysis reveals very low levels of remdesivir resistance worldwide despite massive usage.

Background: Although high-throughput DNA/RNA sequencing technologies have generated massive genetic and genomic data in human disease, translation of these findings into new patient treatment has not materialized by lack of effective approaches, such as Artificial Intelligence (AL) and Machine Learning (ML) tools.
Method: To address this problem, we have used AI/ML approaches, Mendelian randomization (MR), and large patient's genetic and functional genomic data to evaluate druggable targets using Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a prototypical example. We utilized the genomic instruments from 9 expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and 3 protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) datasets across five human brain regions from three biobanks.
Impact of 3D printing orientation on accuracy, properties, cost, and time efficiency of additively manufactured dental models: a systematic review.

Background: The evidence on the effect of printing orientation on dimensional accuracy and properties of resinous dental models is unclear. This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of printing orientation on the accuracy and properties of additively manufactured resinous dental models, besides the cost, material consumption, and time efficiency at different orientations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in digital health, bioengineering, and society have significant material impacts on the environment owing to AI's vast energy demands and energy consumption, carbon footprints, and water usage to cool data centers and generate electricity to power the data centers. Yet, the environmental footprints of AI remain underappreciated and inadequately acknowledged. This is significant, particularly in this era of climate emergency and ongoing threats to planetary energy and water supplies.

Article Synopsis
- Social networks have become a significant part of adolescents' lives, raising concerns about their impact on mental health, particularly in relation to eating disorders like anorexia nervosa.
- A study with 131 adolescent girls with anorexia found that higher social network usage (over 3 hours daily) correlated with worsening eating behaviors, depressive symptoms, and poor sleep.
- The results underline the need for professionals to promote healthier social network usage that supports recovery among adolescents dealing with eating disorders.
