    Abstract This article provides a curated review of selected papers published in prominent economics journals that use machine learning (ML) tools for research and policy analysis. The review focuses on three key questions: (1) when ML is used in economics, (2) what ML models are commonly preferred, and (3) how they are used for economic applications. The review highlights that ML is particularly used to process nontraditional and unstructured data, capture strong nonlinearity, and improve prediction accuracy. Deep learning models are suitable for nontraditional data, whereas ensemble learning models are preferred for traditional datasets. While traditional econometric models may suffice for analyzing low-complexity data, the increasing complexity of economic data due to rapid digitalization and the growing literature suggests that ML is becoming an essential addition to the econometrician's toolbox.

    Abstract Background: The incidence and clinical presentation of testicular and paratesticular lesions are variable. A preoperative diagnosis is often difficult with only a clinical examination. The diagnosis of testicular lesions is mainly based on histological investigation, despite advances in imaging and tumor marker testing. This study aimed to document the histopathological spectrum of scrotal lesions, including testicular and paratesticular lesions.
    Aim: The study aimed to research the histopathological spectrum of scrotal lesions.
    Settings and design: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre and Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Nagpur, India.
    Materials and methods: Following the institutional ethics committee's approval, a two-year cross-sectional study was carried out in the tertiary care hospital. Seventy operated scrotal specimens sent for histopathological examination were included in the study. The clinical details and investigations of the patients, as well as the gross and histopathological findings of all the specimens, were studied carefully.
    Statistical analysis: The clinical details and gross and histopathological findings were noted in a proforma, entered in a Microsoft Excel sheet (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA), and verified. The data were presented in a tabular form using tablets, pie charts, and bar diagrams. The collected data were analyzed and presented in percentages and frequencies.
    Results: The present study evaluated the histopathological spectrum of scrotal lesions in 70 operated scrotal masses. The mean age of the participants in the study was 46.55 ± 18.69 years, with the youngest patient at four years and the oldest being 88 years of age. Sixty-six (80%) of the 70 cases were of non-neoplastic lesions, while 14 (20%) were of neoplastic lesions. Testicular atrophy (16 cases) was the most common non-neoplastic lesion. The most frequent neoplastic lesion in the present study was a seminoma (seven cases).
    Conclusion: This study strongly recommends routine histopathological examination of all scrotal specimens for the detection of various testicular and paratesticular lesions, as well as neoplasms. Histopathology not only provides a tissue diagnosis in scrotal disorders, but it also adds to understanding etiopathogenesis and can aid in the development of future treatment options.

    Abstract Background and objective: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are detected in 3-7% of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There are currently 5 U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of patients with ALK-positive lung cancer in the advanced/metastatic disease setting. Despite these advances, most patients with ALK-positive lung cancer who are treated with ALK TKI therapy ultimately experience disease progression due to various mechanisms of drug resistance. In this review, we discuss strategies to address acquired therapeutic resistance to ALK inhibition, novel agents and combinatorial strategies in development for both on and off-target resistance, and some emerging approaches to prolong response to ALK inhibitors.
    Methods: We performed a search of peer-reviewed literature in the English language, conference abstracts, and trial registrations from the MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), and CENTRAL (Cochrane Library) databases and major international oncology meetings up to August 2022. We then screened for studies describing interventions to overcome ALK resistance based on review of each title and abstract.
    Key content and findings: For patients with oligo-progression, treatment may include maintaining the same systemic treatment beyond progression while adding local therapies to progressing lesions. Strategies to combat ALK TKI resistance mediated by on-target resistance mechanisms include 4
    Conclusions: Strategies to overcome resistance to currently available ALK inhibitors are urgently needed. Given the variety of resistance mechanisms, tailormade approaches are required for disease control.

    Abstract We describe the clinical course and serial evolution of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in toxoplasmosis retinochoroiditis and its importance as an inflammatory biomarker. Colour fundus photography and swept-source OCT of the BALAD were done at the time of presentation and subsequently at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and at 11 weeks. Treatment involved oral trimethoprim (160 mg) + sulphamethoxazole (800 mg) two times per day, started at presentation for 2 months. Oral prednisolone was started after 1 week at a dose of 50 mg a day and tapered weekly over the next 5 weeks. The BALAD initially increased after starting treatment with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole and regressed within 1 week after initiation of oral prednisolone. Best corrected visual acuity improved to 20/40 from 20/160 at presentation (Snellen equivalent). This suggests that BALAD is an indicator of an acute inflammatory event and the accumulated fluid is secondary to retinal and choroidal inflammation.

    Abstract Genome driven precision oncology has transformed the landscape of multiple cancers. However, access barriers exist. A recent study exemplified a direct-to-patient outreach program via social media through the implementation of a global program that offered free tumor genomic testing with a focus on rare cancers.
