177Lu-DOTATATE is a radionuclide therapy that is FDA approved for the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Treatment facilities are required to determine the maximum radiation dose from such subjects to the maximally exposed member of the public, ensuring that the total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) does not exceed regulatory limits. If the calculated TEDE meets the regulatory limits, the patient is eligible for release and provided instructions with radiation precautions. This study aims to determine a mean transmission factor to the patient to improve accuracy and individualize the estimation of the TEDE.

Mosquito-borne flaviviruses represent a public health challenge due to the high-rate endemic infections, severe clinical outcomes, and the potential risk of emerging global outbreaks. Flavivirus disease pathogenesis converges on cellular factors from vectors and hosts, and their interactions are still unclear. Exosomes and microparticles are extracellular vesicles released from cells that mediate the intercellular communication necessary for maintaining homeostasis; however, they have been shown to be involved in disease establishment and progression.

Background: This research aims to explore the anti-obesity potential of Wu-Mei-Wan (WMW), particularly its effects on adipose tissue regulation in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The study focuses on understanding the role of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in mediating these effects.
Methods: HFD-induced obese mice were treated with WMW.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits a cellular hierarchy with a subpopulation of stem-like cells known as glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumor growth and contribute to treatment resistance. NAD(H) emerges as a crucial factor influencing GSC maintenance through its involvement in diverse biological processes, including mitochondrial fitness and DNA damage repair. However, how GSCs leverage metabolic adaptation to obtain survival advantage remains elusive.

Background: In-person interaction offers invaluable benefits to people. To guarantee safe in-person activities during a COVID-19 outbreak, effective identification of infectious individuals is essential. In this study, we aim to analyze the impact of screening with antigen tests in schools and workplaces on identifying COVID-19 infections.

Gender identification of chick embryos at the early stages of incubation is of significant importance to poultry industry. Existing studies showed reproductive hormone concentrations are associated with gender of chick embryos. Accurate detection of reproductive hormone concentration can assist in gender identification.
