Prediction of thermal damage of three-dimensional bio-tissues in moving laser therapy

AoS. Prediction of thermal damage of three-dimensional bio-tissues in moving laser therapy.

The thermotherapy is a useful approach in medical field, such as hyperthermia, laser soldering, laser ablation, laser surgery and other thermal treatment methods. In order to maximize the therapeutic efficiency while ensuring the patients’ safety, the thermal

Bayesian sparse neural networks for biomarker discovery with omics data

AoS. Bayesian Sparse Neural Networks for Biomarker Discovery with Omics Data

Recent advances in high-throughput biotechnologies, such as microarray and sequencing technologies, have provided an unprecedented opportunity for biomarker discovery, which potentially enhances the development of precision medicine. From a statistical point of view, the discovery of biomarkers

Preventing over-treatment in euthyroid patients with thyroid hormone abnormalities

AoS. Preventing over-treatment in euthyroid patients with thyroid hormone abnormalities.

Up to 12% of the U.S. population will be diagnosed with a thyroid condition. Because thyroid hormones affect every cell in the body, hypo- (low) and hyper-(high) thyroidism can be difficult to distinguish from other medical conditions.

Using AI to improve the quality and quantity of hand washing in hospitals

AoS. Using AI to improve the quality and quantity of hand washing in hospitals

Poor quality hand hygiene has been identified as the main contributor to the spread of hospital acquired infections. In the USA, they affect 2 million patients of which nearly 90,000 die. The cost of these infections is

The noxious effects of benthic diatoms on marine invertebrates

AoS. The noxious effects of benthic diatoms on marine invertebrates.

Diatoms dominate various marine and freshwater environments, at any latitude, and are responsible for up to 25% of primary production. They may be either free-living in the water column or produce benthic biofilms. Studies on the chemical

How to Land a Job in Big Tech

AoS. How to Land a Job in Big Tech.

Tech industry jobs often provide the types of salary and benefits that allow you to build a comfortable life. Some companies go above and beyond. Compensation, benefits, stock buying programs, and the prestige of having their name

Carica papaya loaded PVA-Gelatin nanofibrous scaffold: a wound dressing material

AoS. Carica papaya loaded PVA-Gelatin nanofibrous scaffold

Every year millions of people worldwide encounter mishaps that may arise from burns, surgery, accidents, or chronic diseases compromising the skin’s integrity. These incidents can either result in lifelong functional impairment of the affected part of the

Aflatoxin exposure: pending regulation for vulnerable people

AoS. Aflatoxin exposure: pending regulation for vulnerable people.

Mycotoxins are toxins produced by filamentous fungi in food, especially because of water stress in the field or inadequate humidity and temperature in storage. Mycotoxins produce a toxic effect on animals and humans, from acute effects to

Mesalamine for the prevention of recurrent diverticulitis?

AoS.Mesalamine for the prevention of recurrent diverticulitis?

Recurrent diverticulitis represents a relevant clinical problem, involving up to a quarter of patients after the first episode of diverticulitis. Unfortunately, there are no evidence-based data that indicate a targeted therapeutic approach for the prevention of recurrent

Soft-particle gel electrophoresis

AoS. Soft-particle gel electrophoresis.

Particle electrophoresis in free solution or in gel media is a powerful technique for characterizing the surface properties of colloidal particles. Particle gel electrophoresis, that is, transport processes of colloidal particles in polymer gel media under an

Developing aptamers and 21st century skills through innovative course-based aptamer research

Among the growing list of aptamer applications, innovative aptamer Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have merged the scientific demand of aptamers with the positive student outcomes realized through authentic research experiences. This demand for additional aptamers is

Sheath blight of rice: challenges and management

Rice (Oryza sativa L) is one of the most widely consumed cereal crops, grown in more than a hundred countries. Around 40,000 different varieties of rice exist in the world, with China producing the largest amount of
