From fructose to steatosis, fructose-induced inflammation as a driver of hepatic injury and MAFLD progression: a systematic review of preclinical studies

Background Excessive dietary fructose has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), yet its specific role in driving hepatic inflammation remains incompletely defined. This systematic review aimed to synthesise recent pre...

Can artificial intelligence improve precision dosing? a systematic review of narrow therapeutic index drugs

Abstract Background Precision dosing of narrow therapeutic index drugs remains challenging because of substantial interindividual variability and the narrow margin between therapeutic efficacy and toxicity. Artificial intelligence (AI)–based approaches may improve individualized...

Cardiac monitoring and incidence of cardiotoxicity cardiomyopathy among breast cancer patients undergoing anthracycline regimen chemotherapy: insight from a single centre study

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> Anthracyclines remain a cornerstone of breast cancer therapy but carry a significant risk of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). This study evaluates the incidence of CTRCD in an Indonesian setting using the latest 2...

Pre-exposure to UV-B irradiation induces antioxidant enzymes and mitigates Fusarium acutatum stress in shallot ( Allium cepa L.)

Shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) productivity is often limited by fungal diseases, particularly twisted disease caused by Fusarium acutatum. This study evaluated the effects of UV-B pre-exposure (150 min) on enhancing plant resistance under greenhouse conditions using four t...

This study aims to identify and plan potential areas for mangrove ecosystem planting (rehabilitation/restoration) as well as to identify and design potential areas for the development of sustainable mangrove ecotourism in Pangandaran Regency, West Java. This study focuses on six...

Validity of Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Skeletal Maturation in Orthodontic Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract This systematic review aimed to evaluate the performance and clinical validation of artificial intelligence (AI) and rule-based methods for skeletal maturation assessment using cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) and hand–wrist radiography. The review was conducted in ac...

DETERMINATION OF POTENTIAL LOCATIONS FOR SETTLEMENT DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LAND CARRYING CAPACITY USING CELLULAR AUTOMATA (Case Study: Karangnunggal Subdistrict)

<ns5:p>Abstract Background Karangnunggal has been designated as the prospective capital of the Proposed New Autonomous Region of South Tasikmalaya Regency, a status expected to accelerate population growth and settlement land demand in an area that remains prone to landslides and...

Task-oriented circuit training to improve adaptive walking and cognitive-motor function after stroke: a clinical review

Abstract Background The evaluation of ambulation recovery after stroke commonly involves the use of linear outcomes such as walking speed and endurance. Task-oriented circuit training (TOCT) is commonly used in stroke rehabilitation to improve walking performance, but most existi...

Systematic mapping of artificial intelligence and big data architectures for antidiabetic drug discovery from traditional medical systems

Abstract Background Ethnomedical knowledge has contributed to the discovery and development of several contemporary antidiabetic agents. However, the extensive global diversity of medicinal plants, phytochemicals, and traditional therapeutic systems creates a substantial challeng...

Comparing fathers’ and mothers’ stunting knowledge and children’s oral health–related quality of life among stunted children

Abstract Background Stunting is linked to negative oral health outcomes and can diminish children’s oral health–related quality of life (OHRQoL). Parental roles and perceptions, particularly differences between fathers and mothers, may influence how oral health impacts are recogn...

Older adults’ participation and experiences in design thinking for AI-driven assistive technology: a scoping review

Abstract Background Population ageing and the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into assistive technologies have created a need to engage older adults as active partners in technology design. AI-driven assistive technologies are frequently developed with limited o...
