An In Silico Study of the Interactions of Alkaloids from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta with Plasmodium falciparum Dihydrofolate Reductase and Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase by Lois Kwane Kyei, Edward Ntim Gasu, Gilbert Boadu Ampomah, Jehoshaphat Oppong Mensah, Lawrence Sheringham Borquaye

“…We report herein that biscryptolepine and cryptomisrine (sb class), as well as cryptolepinone, cryptoheptine, cryptolepine, and neocryptolepine (pg class), are capable of inhibiting PfDHFR effectively in pyrimethamine sensitive and resistant cells. Also, our results show that alkaloids of the pg class can inhibit PfDHODH as FMN decoys, as well as direct enzyme inhibitors, thereby halting crucial protein function.…”

Design of a Low-Profile Dual-Polarization Wideband Semi-Flexible Antenna by Ankang Liu, Jian Lu, Peng Khiang Tan, Theng Huat Gan

“…Flexibility is achieved through the thin, flexible bottom PCB layer, while the rigid top PCB layer can be arranged to prevent collisions between adjacent cells, allowing the array to bend easily. Two orthogonal inverted-F feeds share the same flexible PCB layer, enabling a low-profile dual-polarization antenna design. …”

The Performance of a Scale-Aware Nonlocal PBL Scheme for the Subkilometer Simulation of a Deep CBL over the Taklimakan Desert by Hongxiong Xu, Yinjun Wang, Minzhong Wang

“…The simulation with the scale-aware scheme reproduced cellular rolls similar to those in the WRF-LES, while the conventional PBL scheme struggled to trigger intense convective cells rather than cellular rolls. The results strongly suggest that the scale-aware nonlocal PBL scheme can be used to adequately reproduce the scale and evolution of the observed rolls in the deep CBL in Taklimakan desert at subkilometer resolutions.…”

Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland: A rare case report by Manisha Kamlesh Galani, Kamlesh Jamnadas Galani, Swati Nileshkumar Lakhani

“…Diagnosis poses a challenge due to the lack of distinctive clinical features—microscopic examination revealing epithelioid granulomas, sometimes with caseous necrosis and Langhans-type giant cells, aids in diagnosis. Confirmation typically involves detecting acid-fast bacilli through staining techniques like Ziehl Neelsen (ZN), molecular diagnostic methods such as TB Gene Expert or polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB PCR), and histopathological examination of excised specimens. …”
