Published on 2025-03-05 by Charlotte Meynhardt, Patrick Meybohm, Peter Kranke, Carlos Ramon H�lzing @MDPI
Abstract: Medical education is rapidly evolving with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through the application of generative AI to create dynamic learning environments. This paper examines the transformative role of prompt engineering in enhancing simulation-based learning in emergency medicine. By enabling the generation of realistic, context-specific clinical case scenarios, prompt engineering fosters critical thinking and decision-making skills among medical trainees. To gui[...]

A Leg Cuticle Protein Enhances the Resistance of Anopheles sinensis Mosquitoes to Deltamethrin
Published on 2025-02-28 by Lin Li, Ling Gu, Lei Tu, Si-Jia Deng, Ju-Ping Hu, Zi-Ye Zhang, Ju-Lin Li, Mei-Chun Zhang, Jun Cao, Jian-Xia Tang, Guo-Ding Zhu @MDPI
Abstract: Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes has become a severe impediment to global vector control and manifests as decreased insecticide effectiveness. The role of target site mutations and detoxification enzymes as resistance markers has been documented in mosquitoes; however, the emergence of complex resistant phenotypes suggest the occurrence of additional mechanisms. Cuticular proteins (CPs) are key constituents of the insect cuticle, and play critical roles in insect development and insecticide [...]
Our summary: Leg cuticle protein enhances resistance to deltamethrin in Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes by increasing cuticle thickness and overexpressing specific CP genes in the legs, such as AsCPF1, leading to decreased mortality rates when exposed to the insecticide.

Single-Inhaler Proposal for Rescue in Acute Allergic Asthma Crises
Published on 2025-02-27 by Paula Priscila Correia Costa, Stefanie Bressan Waller, H�lef Herbet Ramos, Belarmino Eug�nio Lopes Neto, Wesley Lyeverton Correia Ribeiro @MDPI
Abstract: Allergic asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and recurrent bronchial hyperreactivity, highlighting the need for rapid therapeutic interventions during acute crises. This study aimed to assess the potential of a single-dose administration of the ruthenium nitrosyl complex cis-[Ru(bpy)2(2-MIM)(NO)](PG6)3 (named as FOR811A) as a fast-acting treatment in a murine model of allergic asthma. Female Swiss mice were sensitized with ovalbumin for the induction of asthma and subjected to[...]
Our summary: Assessment of FOR811A as a potential rapid therapeutic intervention in allergic asthma crises using a murine model, showing modulation of Th2 immune response and potential for smooth muscle relaxation.

The Effects of 4-Week Respiratory Muscle Training on Cardiopulmonary Parameters and Cognitive Function in Male Patients with OSA
Published on 2025-02-26 by Vasileios T. Stavrou, George D. Vavougyios, Glykeria Tsirimona, Stylianos Boutlas, Marinela Santo, Georgios Hadjigeorgiou, Panagiotis Bargiotas, Konstantinos I. Gourgoulianis @MDPI
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a 4-week respiratory muscle training (RMT) intervention versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on cardiorespiratory parameters and cognitive function in patients with OSA. Twenty-eight male patients with OSA were divided into two groups (RMTgroup n = 14 and CPAPgroup n = 14) and we recorded cardiopulmonary parameters and completed the questionnaires for cognitive impairment (MoCA) and sleep quality (PSQI) before and after 4 weeks. We[...]
Our summary: Effects of 4-week respiratory muscle training on cardiopulmonary parameters and cognitive function in male patients with OSA, comparing RMT intervention vs CPAP, showing improvements in breathing reserve, oxygen breathing, cognitive function, and sleep quality.

Measuring Model Parameter Setting Errors’ Effects in the Control of an Order 4 Underactuated System
Published on 2025-02-23 by Awudu Atinga, Kriszti�n K�si, J�zsef K. Tar @MDPI
Abstract: In the control-based approach of medical treatment of various illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, certain angiogenic cancers, or in anesthesia, the starting point used to be some “patient model” on the basis of which the appropriate administration of the drugs can be designed. The identification of the “patient model’s parameters” is always a hard and sometimes unsolvable mathematical task. Furthermore, these parameters have [...]
Our summary: Investigating the effects of model parameter setting errors in the control of an order 4 underactuated system using a variant of Fixed Point Iteration-Based Adaptive Controllers. The study introduces a parameter estimation error significance metric to estimate the consequences of deficiencies in the model and explores the use of a rotational block for multidimensional orthogonal matrix creation. The method is exemplified on a 2 degree of freedom under-actuated nonlinear system with relative order 4, showing reliable parameter sensitivity estimation metrics.

The Case for Organic Farming—A Critical Review
Published on 2025-02-23 by J�rg Gerke @MDPI
Abstract: The contribution of agriculture to the emission of the main greenhouse gases, CO2, N2O, and CH4, is estimated to be between 25 and more than 50% of the total emissions worldwide. These data indicate that in developed, industrialized countries, severe policies might be successful in strongly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on agriculture. However, despite its central importance, agriculture is not at the center of political debate or meaningful emission-reducing policies. In this sc[...]
Our summary: The review critically evaluates the contribution of agriculture to greenhouse gas emissions and discusses the potential of organic farming to reduce emissions through sustainable practices.
