Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common and highly heterogeneous inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by complex clinical phenotypes and diverse disease trajectories, posing significant challenges for early diagnosis, precise phenotypic classification, and risk stratification. Owing to its noninvasive nature, repeatability, and wide availability, echocardiography remains the cornerstone imaging modality for the diagnosis and longitudinal management of HCM. However, conventional echocardiographic analysis re …

Food allergy is a growing global health concern associated with significant dietary restrictions, impaired quality of life, and risk of severe allergic reactions. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα), inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signaling and has demonstrated efficacy across multiple type 2 inflammatory diseases. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of dupilumab on food allergy outcomes in pediatric and adult patients. Across studies, dupilumab treatment w …

Image analysis aims at extracting quantitative information from digital images. As for any measurement method, the measures obtained from image analysis present some measurement errors that should be better considered during interpretation of results. This work investigates the quality of measures obtained from image analysis based on measurements on synthetic shapes with various geometries, sizes, positions and orientations, by focusing on the methods available in common image analysis software. The perimeter is u …

Abstract Purpose: Successful clinical translation of focused ultrasound (FUS)-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening strategy to brain cancer therapy has been hindered by limited quantitative understanding of CNS pharmacokinetics. Using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling framework, this study aimed to quantitatively characterize FUS-modulated CNS pharmacokinetics and identify key determinants of potential clinical benefits. Experimental Design: A previously validated 9-compartment CNS PBPK m …

Conventional impression materials remain a cornerstone of routine dental practice, yet they carry well-documented drawbacks, including a pronounced gag reflex, limited patient comfort, potential soft-tissue trauma, dimensional changes with temperature and elapsed time, the need for disinfection, cross-infection risk, and susceptibility to distortion during transport, storage, and laboratory handling. Digital impression systems have been introduced to overcome these limitations, and their use in dentistry—particular …

Biofilm accumulation on orthodontic appliances is a recognized risk factor for white spot lesion formation and caries during treatment. Antibacterial surface modifications and coating strategies have been proposed as appliance-level preventive approaches. Studied interventions in the literature span true thin-film surface coatings, plasma-based and ion-implantation surface modifications, and bulk-incorporated antibacterial agents in appliance matrix materials. Yet the extent to which in vitro efficacy translates to …

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with electrochemical sensing has revolutionized analytical diagnostics by overcoming traditional limitations such as signal drift, peak overlapping, and matrix interference. However, despite the exponential growth of this field, a unified framework evaluating translational feasibility remains absent. This review critically analyzes AI/ML architectures applied to electrochemical sensors and biosensors from 2016 to 2025. To the best of our know …

Abstract Background Oral findings are common among older adults, but it is unclear whether they vary with the duration of antiresorptive therapy (ART) exposure or relate to the severity of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Methods In this cross-sectional cohort ( n = 129), postmenopausal women undergoing osteoporosis assessment/follow-up were stratified by ART exposure duration: no current ART control (G1, n = 50), short ART (G2, 3–5 years; n = 39), and long ART (G3, > 5 years; n = 40). The prespecified primary …
