    Molecular Biomedicine, 2025
    Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) across numerous disciplines has transformed the worldwide landscape of pandemic response. This review investigates the multidimensional role of AI in the pandemic, which arises as a global health crisis, and its role in preparedness and responses, ranging from enhanced epidemiological modelling to the acceleration of vaccine development. The confluence of AI technologies has guided us in a new era of data-driven decision-making, revolutionizing our ability to anticipate, mitigate, and treat infectious illnesses. The review begins by discussing the impact of a pandemic on emerging countries worldwide, elaborating on the critical significance of AI in epidemiological modelling, bringing data-driven decision-making, and enabling forecasting, mitigation and response to the pandemic. In epidemiology, AI-driven epidemiological models like SIR (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) and SIS (Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible) are applied to predict the spread of disease, preventing outbreaks and optimising vaccine distribution. The review also demonstrates how Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and predictive analytics improve our knowledge of disease propagation patterns. The collaborative aspect of AI in vaccine discovery and clinical trials of various vaccines is emphasised, focusing on constructing AI-powered surveillance networks. Conclusively, the review presents a comprehensive assessment of how AI impacts epidemiological modelling, builds AI-enabled dynamic models by collaborating ML and Deep Learning (DL) techniques, and develops and implements vaccines and clinical trials. The review also focuses on screening, forecasting, contact tracing and monitoring the virus-causing pandemic. It advocates for sustained research, real-world implications, ethical application and strategic integration of AI technologies to strengthen our collective ability to face and alleviate the effects of global health issues.

    Radiodiagnosis in the Era of AI, 2025
    Radiology has been significantly impacted by artificial intelligence (AI), which has increased imaging capabilities, workflow efficiency, and diagnostic accuracy. With an emphasis on technologies like explainable AI, generative adversarial networks, and deep learning, this book chapter examines developments in AI applications in Imaging. These tools have changed medical Imaging by making automatic segmentation, picture reconstruction, and multimodal data integration possible. AI has also improved theranostic techniques, predictive analytics, and point-of-care diagnostics. Even though these developments mark a new age in radiography, issues including data privacy, moral dilemmas, and integration barriers still exist. This chapter highlights the revolutionary potential of AI-powered Imaging in both clinical and non-clinical applications while speculating about its future paths.

    ACS Omega, 2025
    In light of the ongoing technological transformation, embracing advancements that foster shared benefits is essential. Nanorobots, a breakthrough within nanotechnology, have demonstrated significant potential in fields such as medicine, where diagnostic and therapeutic applications are the primary focus areas. This review provides a comprehensive overview of nanotechnology, robots, and their evolving role in medical applications, particularly highlighting the use of nanorobots. Various design strategies and operational principles, including sensors, actuators, and nanocontrollers, are discussed based on prior research. Key nanorobot medical applications include biomedical imaging, biosensing, minimally invasive surgery, and targeted drug delivery, each utilizing advanced actuation technologies to enhance precision. The paper further examines recent progress in micro/nanorobot actuation and addresses important considerations for the future, including biocompatibility, control, navigation, delivery, targeting, safety, and ethical implications. This review offers a holistic perspective on how nanorobots can reshape medical practices, paving the way for precision medicine and improved patient outcomes.
  • Sustainable biomaterials for pharmaceutical and medical applications

    Multidisciplinary Reviews, 2025
    The utilization of sustainable biomaterials in pharmaceutical and medical applications has gained significant momentum in recent years due to their dual ability to address environmental concerns and meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare. As the need for greener alternatives in healthcare intensifies, this review presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and innovations in sustainable biomaterials for pharmaceutical and medical fields. The review begins by exploring sustainable sourcing methods and eco-friendly production techniques, which are crucial in reducing the environmental footprint of biomaterial development. Emphasis is placed on adopting renewable resources and processes that minimize waste and energy consumption, ensuring sustainability throughout the lifecycle of these materials. A diverse array of sustainable biomaterials is highlighted, including biopolymers, natural extracts, and biobased nanoparticles, with a focus on their unique properties and biomedical applications. These materials are increasingly utilized in critical areas such as drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, wound healing, and medical device fabrication. Their attributes, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and therapeutic efficacy, make them valuable assets in advancing healthcare solutions while preserving environmental integrity. Additionally, this review delves into regulatory considerations and the commercialization prospects of sustainable biomaterials, discussing the challenges and opportunities in integrating these materials into mainstream medical and pharmaceutical practices. Issues such as cost-effectiveness, scalability, and adherence to stringent regulatory standards are critically examined to understand their implications for real-world applications. By elucidating the potential, challenges, and future directions of sustainable biomaterials, this article aims to inspire further research and innovation in developing environmentally friendly and effective healthcare solutions. It advocates for a transformative approach to material science that prioritizes sustainability without compromising therapeutic outcomes, paving the way for a greener and healthier future.
  • Case Report: A comprehensive case study on aggressive high-grade urothelial carcinoma of bladder that transforms into enteric-type adenocarcinoma along with an integrated treatment approach
    Neha Rahul, Manishimwe Jules, Induni Nayodhara Weerarathna, Anurag Luharia, Prashik Dube
    Frontiers in Radiology, 2025
    Bladder cancer is a malignant tumour with a high morbidity and mortality rate in the world. Moreover, it is the most prevalent as well as commonly diagnosed in older individuals, with a median age of 73 years, and it has been reported that the most frequently seen histological type of bladder cancer was urothelial carcinoma. We present a unique case of a 44-year-old female with enteric-type adenocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive bladder cancer. Her symptoms included frequent micturition (Urination) and hematuria (blood in urine), at which point she was diagnosed with High-grade urothelial carcinoma. The malignancy worsened despite cycles of treatment requiring extensive surgery. After further tests, it was found that she had urothelial carcinoma with features of intestinal tissue (tissue of the intestine) and that the disease had infiltrated into nearby blood vessels and nerves. Radiation therapy was recommended to decrease the risk of local recurrence after surgery. The challenges in treating such a patient and the positive aspects this approach can give are highlighted in a case report.
