... Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) is positively linked with multiple cancers in humans. However, the association between MC-LR and the risk and prognosis of prostate cancer has not been conducted in epidemiological studies. No reported studies have linked MC-LR exposure to the poor prognosis of prostate cancer by conducting experimental studies. The content of MC-LR was detected in most of the ...
... BRAF V600E mutation is a single-nucleotide variation (SNV) that is widely found in various cancers and has been demonstrated to have a strong association with the prognosis and development of some diseases. Thus, we developed a strategy based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) and CRISPR/Cas14a to meet the great need for detecting highly specific BRAF V600E mutation in fine-needle biopsy sample ...

Abstract:
... microRNAs are endogenous non-coding miRNAs, 19–25 nucleotides in length, that can be detected in the extracellular environment in stable forms, named circulating miRNAs (CIR-miRNAs). Since the first discovery of CIR-miRNAs, a large number of studies have demonstrated that the abnormal changes in its expression could be used to significantly distinguish nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from healthy c ...
... The significant variability in the clinical manifestations of COL2A1-associated skeletal dysplasias makes it necessary to conduct a clinical and genetic analysis of individual nosological variants, which will contribute to improving our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms and prognosis. We presented the clinical and genetic characteristics of 60 Russian pediatric patients with type II col ...

Abstract:
... Metabolomics refers to the study of biological components below 1000 Daltons (Da) involved in metabolic pathways as substrates, products or effectors. According to the interconnected metabolic disturbances that have been described in the pathophysiology of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), this technique appears to be well adapted to study and better delineate the disease. This review will focus on rec ...
... Carbon-related materials are now widely investigated in a various industrial field due to their excellent and unique qualities. It must be tailored to the application in such a way that it fits the application. At the same time, it needs to be generated in sufficient quantities for commercial use, and the synthesis method is the major sticking point here. Because most new materials are discovered ...

Abstract:
... Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the second most common liver malignancy with poor prognosis after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Emerging evidences have proved that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the progression of multiple cancers, while their roles in tumorigenesis of CCA remains largely unclear. In the present study, we found circ_0000591 was upregulated in CCA cells and tissues. The hig ...

Abstract:
... Intracranial abscessation is a life‐threatening condition in dogs and cats, and rapid diagnosis is important for prognosis and treatment planning. The aims of this retrospective, single‐center, case series study were to describe clinical and MRI diffusion‐weighted imaging characteristics in three dogs and three cats with presumed or confirmed intracranial abscessation. All lesions appeared hyperin ...

Abstract:
... This study was performed to report etiology, clinical presentation, and outcome of mandibular fractures in immature dogs treated with non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques. Immature dogs diagnosed with mandibular fractures from 2001 to 2016 were included in this study. Diagnosis of the mandibular fracture was achieved by oral examination and diagnostic imaging in the anesthetized dog. Twen ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to assess current evidence regarding the effect of selenium (Se) supplementation on the prognosis in patients sustaining trauma. MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched with the following terms: “trace element”, “selenium”, “copper”, “zinc”, “injury”, and “trauma”. Seven studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that Se supplementati ...

Abstract:
... Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process through which epithelial tumor cells acquire mesenchymal phenotypic properties, contributes to both metastatic dissemination and therapy resistance in cancer. Accumulating evidence indicates that nonepithelial tumors, including melanoma, can also gain mesenchymal‐like properties that increase their metastatic propensity and decrease their sensi ...

Abstract:
... Assessment of left atrial (LA) sizes in dogs informs clinical staging, risk assessment, treatment decisions, and prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of observers with different levels of experience measuring the LA with three different techniques. Echocardiographic images from 36 dogs with different degrees of left atrial enlargement (LAE) were retrospec ...

Abstract:
... Although challenging, predicting outcomes in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is of importance to owners and veterinarians. Our aim was to compare the prognostic value of selected one-, two-, and three-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic methods to predict cardiac-related and all-cause mortality in MMVD dogs. We hypothesize that three-dimensional methods would better predict ...

Abstract:
... Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid membrane enclosed nano-sized vesicles that are secreted by all known organisms. These vesicles are increasingly recognized as important circulating biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of different diseases including various types of cancer, owing to their essential role in intercellular communication. EVs preserve heterogeneity in both physical propert ...

Abstract:
... In recent years, many researchers have been conducted on batteries' health monitoring and prognostics, mainly focusing on the batteries' state of charge (SOC). Accurately estimating the state of health (SOH) and predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of battery components are very important for the prognosis and health management of the overall battery system. However, due to the non-linear dy ...

To compare the prognostic accuracy of nine staging systems, some of which are well-known and some of which have only been more recently described, for patients with unresectable HCC treated with radioembolization (RE). Individual scores or classes for the following staging systems were recorded or calculated for patients (n = 89) with unresectable HCC who underwent RE at a single tertiary care cen ...

Abstract:
... Pretreatment inflammation-based biomarkers and the prognostic nutrition index (PNI) have been used to evaluate prognosis in cancer patients. However, few studies have focused on the prognostic value of post-treatment inflammation-based biomarkers and PNI in ESCC patients. We aimed to investigate the values of pre/post-treatment inflammatory parameters and PNI for establishing a nomogram to predict ...

... This paper presents the variational diagnostic model and iterative procedure, which enables the wind field in subdomains to be adjusted. Diagnostic models are not time dependent. Consideration of more complex features of the thermodynamic structure requires models with high resolution, which require large calculation times. The model presented applies the variational approach and enables topograph ...

... Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-associated deaths across the world in both men and women. Lung cancer consists of two major clinicopathological categories, i.e., small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lack of diagnosis of NSCLC at an early stage in addition to poor prognosis results in ineffective treatment, thus, biomarkers for appropriate diagnosis and exa ...
