This paper offers a case study to demonstrate how a complex scoring model tool called CNS-TAP, originally created by a neuro-oncology team at one institution, was upgraded and made accessible to a wider audience. In the Results and Discussion, many issues of web app design, development, and sustainability are covered. Overall, we chart a path to expand access to many unique software tools created and needed by today's medical specialists.

Phase I dose escalation trials in oncology generally aim to find the maximum tolerated dose. However, with the advent of molecular-targeted therapies and antibody drug conjugates, dose-limiting toxicities are less frequently observed, giving rise to the concept of optimal biological dose (OBD), which considers both efficacy and toxicity. The estimand framework presented in the addendum of the ICH E9(R1) guidelines strengthens the dialogue between different stakeholders by bringing in greater clarity in the clinical trial objectives and by providing alignment between the targeted estimand under consideration and the statistical analysis methods.

Background: Bridge preparation skills are a vital component of dental education and require specific techniques. This study aimed to develop and evaluate 3D printed teeth for use in defect-oriented bridge preparation and pre-prosthetic exercises in dental training, addressing the limited customization and lack of integrated workflows found in commercial typodont teeth. The null hypothesis stated that 3D printed teeth offered no advantage over established typodont training methods for bridge preparation.

Background: As populations age, informal caregivers play an increasingly vital role in long-term care, with 80% of care provided by family members in Europe. However, many individuals do not immediately recognize themselves as caregivers, especially in the early stages. This lack of awareness can increase physical and emotional stress and delay access to support services.

Objective: To estimate the effect on healthcare resource use after introducing the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria (WHO-2013) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to former criteria in Sweden (SWE-GDM).
Design: A cost-analysis alongside the Changing Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes (CDC4G) randomised controlled trial.
Setting: Sweden, with risk-factor based screening for GDM.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.
Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.
