To explore the safety and efficacy of the integrated boost to the dominant intraprostatic nodule (DIN) based on Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/MRI in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with localized prostate cancer. SBRT regimen is employed - namely, sequential integrated boost (SIB) to the DIN based on Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/MRI. SIB prescription dose of 36.25 Gy in five fractions to fixed prophylactic tumoricidal region is delivered, followed by 7.25 Gy in one fraction added to the DIN every other day. The primary end point of the study will be toxicity assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0 grading scale. Secondary end points include biochemical progression-free survival, local progression-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival. This trial is to prove the safety and efficacy of sequential integrated boost to the DIN in SBRT. NCT04599699 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

The development of resistance to traditional antifungal therapies has necessitated the exploration of alternative treatment strategies to effectively manage fungal infections, particularly those induced by (). This research investigates the possibility of integrating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with Terbinafine to improve antifungal effectiveness. Terbinafine, while potent, faces challenges with specific fungal strains, highlighting the need for strategies to enhance its treatment efficacy.

: Mirtazapine (MRZ) is a psychotropic drug prescribed to manage serious sorts of depression. By virtue of its extensive initial-pass metabolic process with poor water solubility, the ultimate bioavailability when taken orally is a mere 50%, necessitating repeated administration. The current inquiry intended to fabricate nose-to-brain chitosan-grafted cationic leciplexes of MRZ (CS-MRZ-LPX) to improve its pharmacokinetic weaknesses and boost the pharmacodynamics aspects.

Efficient and reliable corn ( L.) yield prediction is important for varietal selection by plant breeders and management decision-making by growers. Unlike prior studies that focus mainly on county-level or controlled laboratory-scale areas, this study targets a production-scale area, better representing real-world agricultural conditions and offering more practical relevance for farmers.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has profoundly impacted global health, with pneumonia emerging as a major complication in severe cases. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is marked by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and an excessive inflammatory response, resulting in oxidative stress and significant tissue damage, particularly in the respiratory system. Antioxidants have garnered considerable attention for their potential role in managing COVID-19 pneumonia by mitigating oxidative stress and modulating immune responses.

The multi-parameter and nonlinear characteristics of the Smith Watson Topper (SWT) equation present considerable challenges for predicting the fatigue life of 2024-T3 clad Al alloy. To overcome these challenges, a novel model integrating traditional fatigue analysis methods with machine learning algorithms is introduced. An improved SWT fatigue life prediction equation is developed by incorporating key factors such as the mean stress effect, stress concentration factor, and surface roughness coefficient.
