A small set of miRNAs and five siRNAs were suggested as the possible efficient candidates with a high affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 genome and low side effects. The suggested candidates are promising therapeutics for the experimental evaluations and may speed up the procedure of treatment design. Materials and implementations are available at…[Read more]

Percutaneous endoscopic decompression (PED) is considered a minimally invasive and safe procedure in lumbar degenerative disease. Few authors report the success of PED for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) with thoracic myelopathy. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of PED versus posterior decompressive laminectomy (PDL) for…[Read more]

rcopenia assessment should be extended with patient’s history of disease course. Furthermore, concomitant diseases, analysis of serum creatine kinase, electrophysiological examination, and in selected patients muscle biopsy and gene analysis is needed to rule out a late-onset neuromuscular disorder.

the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β, which indicates an acquisition of M2-like macrophages characteristics. Copyright © 2020 Varela, Marlinghaus, Sartori, Viebahn, Salber and Ciardelli.Background Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS) is a standard technique used to approach sellar tumors. It is relatively safe, minimally invasive a…[Read more]

PURPOSE To characterize the effects of netarsudil on the aqueous humor outflow tract distal to the trabecular meshwork (TM). We hypothesized that netarsudil increases outflow facility in eyes with and without circumferential ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) that removes the TM. METHODS Sixty-four porcine anterior segment cultures were randomly…[Read more]

Additionally, δ13 C was not correlated with gas exchange estimates of WUEi under short- and long-term water limitations but showed a significant negative relationship with WUEplant . The observed association between the δ13 C and WUEplant suggests an intrinsic link of δ13 C with WUEi in this C4 plant and can potentially be used as a screening to…[Read more]

evated CEA after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and clinical stage T4 disease were unfavourable predictors for overall and disease-free survival. Normalized CEA during neoadjuvant chemoradiation may serve as a prognosticator, although pretreatment CEA may significantly affect survival.

One-third of patients with IBC who received NAC and MRM had pathologically negative nodes. Factors associated with ypN0 included ycN0 status and HR-negative/HER2-positive subtype. Large, prospective studies are needed to investigate the feasibility of alternative nodal evaluation strategies in IBC, with consideration to these…[Read more]

P1 was associated with higher VEFGR-2 plasma membrane immunoreactivity, whereas P2 and P3 were accompanied by protein dislocation. P1 was accompanied by β-catenin membrane expression, while P2 and P3 exhibited β-catenin nuclear translocation. Primary BC samples expressed MEF2C in mammary ducts and scattered cells in the parenchyma. MEF2C emerges a…[Read more]

94 r = 0.98 and r = 0.96 respectively). Only BECl had acceptable limits of agreement with SBE in the subgroup (bias 0.5 mmol L-1) In the linear regression model, only BECl in all the Cl evaluation approaches was significantly related to the SBE. For the evaluation of the effect of chloride on the acid-base status, BECl is a better approach than…[Read more]

Despite the recent, remarkable achievements in cardiology, heart failure (HF) remains a major public health problem due to its increasing prevalence, frequent hospitalizations, and significant mortality. Humoral biomarkers in HF are capable to reflect different aspects of the cardiac morpho-functional changes and the related pathophysiological…[Read more]

3%. Detection rate of SLN was 93.7% in endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Sentinel node was detected in all the patients with non-endometrioid histology. The SLNB using cervical injection of Tc99m nanocolloid is feasible in endometrial cancer. It is a safe and easily reproducible technique with good detection rate and high sensitivity. Stage of the…[Read more]

Clinicians caring for them should be aware of the need for sexual health information in order to propose prevention actions adapted to these young people with chronic disease.Objectives Due to demographic changes, aging is a health priority. We aimed to identify midlife women’s perceived health information needs and the preferred method(s) of…[Read more]

Artificial intelligence (AI) based on deep learning boosted medical research in the past years and is expected to enormously change the style of health care in many aspects in the foreseeable future. Nowadays, there are exploding volumes of healthcare-related data being generated daily. Because of its time-sensitive characteristics, being able to…[Read more]

Native extracts from orange peels were obtained by a conventional method using acetone and, an alternative method using ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl)). The bioaccessibilities and cellular uptakes of carotenoids, esters and chlorophylls were evaluated, since the influence of esterification on bioaccessibility and…[Read more]

The pivotal role of viral proteases in virus replication has already been successfully exploited in several antiviral drug design campaigns. However, no efficient antivirals are currently available against flaviviral infections. In this study, we present lead-like small molecule inhibitors of the Zika Virus (ZIKV) NS2B-NS3 protease. Since only few…[Read more]

The current study was designed to extend the parenting literature by testing the moderating role of the family’s emotional climate, operationalized with parent-adolescent emotional closeness and adolescent feelings of being overly controlled by parents on the longitudinal associations between parent-driven communication efforts (i.e. parental…[Read more]

To evaluate the association of placental thickness with placenta accreta spectrum disorder in placenta previa.

In this IRB-approved, retrospective study, ultrasound (US) reports were retrospectively queried for keyword previa. US performed closest to mid-gestation were included. Three measurements were performed at the thickest portion of…[Read more]
