74; 95% CI, 0.53-1.04; P=0.08) and high muscle-low fat mass (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.21-0.77; P=0.01) were associated with lower CVD. Further, in adjusted competing risks analyses stratified by sex, the CVD rate in women tends to significantly decrease as normalized total fat increase (total fat fourth quartile HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.34-0.94; P less then…[Read more]

Three patients have elected to discontinue enzyme therapy.Altered energy metabolism of cancer cells shapes the immune cell response in the tumor microenvironment that facilitates tumor progression. Herein, we reported the novel of tumor cell-expressed Piwi Like RNA-Mediated Gene Silencing 1 (PIWIL1) in mediating the crosstalk of fatty acid…[Read more]

The strength of the asphalt mixture increased as the size of the copper slag increased, especially under variable moisture and ageing conditions. Superior behaviour compared to a reference mixture was obtained when replacing the size of aggregate No. 8 with copper slag, increasing its indirect tensile strength and retained strength, reducing its…[Read more]

Cats presenting with dehiscence of a previous enterotomy/enterectomy did not have a worse prognosis than those presenting with other aetologies. Intraoperative hypotension (adjusted odds ratio 0.173, 95% confidence intervals 0.034 to 0.866, P=0.033) was associated with non-survival. Cats that survived beyond 1day postoperatively had an improved…[Read more]

important implications in the context of value-based care.

To increase the likelihood of finding a causative genetic variant in patients with a focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) lesion, clinical and histologic characteristics were analyzed.

Individuals 18 years and older with an FSGS lesion on kidney biopsy evaluated at Mayo…[Read more]

Pleural fluid alone is adequate for cancer cell proliferation in vitro, regardless of the source of pleural fluid. These results support the hypothesis that pleural fluid has important pro-growth biological properties, but the mechanisms for this effect are unclear and likely not malignant effusion specific.Metastasis is the end stage of cancer…[Read more]

Although the health benefits of probiotics have been widely known for decades, there has still been limited use of probiotic bacteria in anti-obesity therapy. Herein, we demonstrated the role of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis YB0411 (YB, which was selected by an in vitro adipogenesis assay) in adipogenic differentiation in 3T3-L1…[Read more]

Solid waste dump sites have proven to have potentially high risk to human health as it serves as a source of air, soil and underground water pollution.

This study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge, respiratory disorders and skin disorders between residents living close to and far from landfill sites in Lagos State, Nigeria.…[Read more]
