Background The concept of cost-effectiveness is necessary for optimal utilization of limited health care resources. However, few studies have assessed the cost-effectiveness of palliative care using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), considered common outcomes in health economics. Objective We aimed to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of…[Read more]

The probes were able to identify structural changes between the genomes, including translocations, fusions, and deletions. Furthermore, the probes were able to identify a structural translocation between a pak choi and turnip cultivar of B. rapa. Overall, the comparative chromosomal mapping helps understand the role of chromosome structural…[Read more]

C and T alleles in the variants rs2910164 and rs1044165, respectively, are associated with increased risk of MS. Such association was obtained in codominant, dominant, and overdominant models for both variants (OR ~3 and OR ~1.5, respectively). Furthermore, this study determined that the C and T alleles of rs2910164 and rs1044165 are risk factors…[Read more]

No HI change was observed in trees with few taxa spanning through short distances, indicating that this noise is not prohibitive in this context, although the analysis of the ratio between HI and distance can be recommended as a criterion for tree acceptance. The absence of large changes of the HI within the species, and its increase when new…[Read more]

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) include temporomandibular joint dysfunction and bruxism. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SJD) is a frequent cause of non-discogenic low back pain. Studies suggest a relationship between TMJD and SJD; however, the link remains unclear. Neural therapy (NT) utilises local anaesthetic injections to treat pain by…[Read more]

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a serious threat and has been reported with different presentations and complications. Older age, along with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiac disease, increases the risk factors for COVID-19 severity and death [N Engl J Med. 2020;382(18)1708-20 and Lancet Respir Med.…[Read more]

s to slow the decline of physical fitness with aging and, therefore, to increase health span.

HD composed of physical fitness biomarkers differed between healthy individuals and patients with HF, and differences between groups diminished with increasing age. HDs can successfully predict HF cases, and HD Cardiovascular endurance can…[Read more]

The proposed method gave better results than the other methods using both random forest and SVM classifiers on all the datasets among all the feature selection methods.

The proposed method showed improved performance in terms of classification accuracy, Brier score and sensitivity, and hence, could be used as a novel method for gene…[Read more]

Recent reports raise the concern that exposure to several environmental chemicals may induce persistent changes that go beyond the exposed organisms, being transferred to subsequent generations even in the absence of the original chemical insult. These changes in subsequent non-exposed generations have been related to epigenetic changes. Although…[Read more]

The prognostic significance of bulky disease in advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma is an area of controversy. Early studies suggested that the presence of bulk was associated with an increased risk of disease relapse. The effect of bulk is less clear in more recent studies. The shift to response-adapted treatment regimens may obscure the prognostic…[Read more]

Our study identifies OAZ1 and hsa-miR-6835-3p as the most reliable individual reference genes for mRNA and miRNA quantification, respectively. For superior accuracy, we recommend the use of a combination of reference genes – OAZ1/SERF2/MPP1 for mRNA and hsa-miR-6835-3p/hsa-miR-4468-3p for miRNA analyses.

Our study identifies OAZ1 and…[Read more]
