Symptomatic patients visiting the emergency department with suspected stones in either kidney or ureters who underwent a CT scan were included. Patients were followed for up to 6 months for the outcome of a trial of passage. Maximum stone diameters in axial and coronal images were measured manually. Stone length, width, height, max diameter, volume, the mean and standard deviation of the Hounsfield units, and morphologic features were also measured using automated radiomic analysis software. Multivariate models were developed using these data to predict subsequent spontaneous stone passage, with results expressed as the area under a receiver operating curve (AUC). One hundred eighty-four patients (69 females) with a median age of 56 years were included. Spontaneous stone passage occurred in 114 patients (62%). Univariate analysis clinical impacts of reporting the likelihood of urinary stone passage and improving inter-observer variation using automatic radiomic analysis software.α-amylase is known to have antibiofilm activity against biofilms of both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Partially purified α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis was found to have inhibit biofilm formed by P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The spectrophotometric and microscopic studies revealed that the antibiofilm efficacy of the working strain is greater than commercially purchased α-amylase. Response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) help to predict the optimum conditions [pH 8, treatment time 6 h and enzyme concentration (200 µg/mL)] for maximum biofilm eradication. This was confirmed by several in vitro experiments. Molecular docking interactions of α-amylase with the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of both P. a
