The role of URO17® in diagnosis and follow up of bladder cancer patients
(2024-12)
Objective: to evaluate the role of urinary URO17® biomarker in the detection of urothelial tumors in haematuria patients and the detection of recurrence in non-muscle invasive bladder urothelial tumors. Materials and ...
Evidence-based successful example of a structure-based approach for the prediction of designer fentanyl-like molecules
(2024-12)
In 2019, we published three innovative quantitative structure-activity relationship models (QSAR) for predicting the affinity of mu-opioid receptor (µOR) ligands. The three different models were then combined to produce a ...
Exploring factors influencing time from dispatch to unit availability according to the transport decision in the pre-hospital setting: an exploratory study
(2024-12)
Background: Efficient resource distribution is important. Despite extensive research on response timings within ambulance services, nuances of time from unit dispatch to becoming available still need to be explored. This ...
Winternitz stack protocols for embedded systems and IoT
(2024-12)
This paper proposes and evaluates a new bipartite post-quantum digital signature protocol based on Winternitz chains and an oracle. Mutually mistrustful Alice and Bob are able to agree and sign a series of documents in a ...

Dementia as a global challenge: Progress and prospects for creating more dementia-inclusive tourism industries
(2024-10)
Global Grand Challenges (GCs) have received only a limited attention within the tourism literature and this Progress paper examines one such GC – dementia and the contribution that tourism research can make to helping ...
A Light Scattering Model for Large Particles with Surface Roughness
(2024-09)
A physical-optics hybrid method designed for the computation of single-scattering properties of particles with complex shapes, including surface roughness, is presented. The method applies geometric optics using a novel ...
Smart laser Sintering: Deep Learning-Powered powder bed fusion 3D printing in precision medicine
(2024-08-15)
Medicines remain ineffective for over 50% of patients due to conventional mass production methods with fixed drug dosages. Three-dimensional (3D) printing, specifically selective laser sintering (SLS), offers a potential ...
New trends of drug abuse in custodial settings: a systematic review on the misuse of over-the-counter drugs, prescription-only-medications, and new psychoactive substances
(2024-07-30)
The article presents a systematic literature review on the use and the psychiatric implications of over-the-counter drugs (OTC), prescription-only-medications (POM), and new psychoactive substances (NPS) within custodial ...
