Background Patients afflicted with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) face a dismal prognosis, but headway could be made if physicians could identify the disease earlier. A compelling strategy to broaden the use of surveillance for PDAC is to incorporate molecular biomarkers in combination with clinical analysis and imaging tools. Methods…[Read more]

7±29.1minutes. We found 21 metastatic specimens with an average diameter 13.9±6.3mm. The mean activity of the implanted seed was 71.27±21.6MBq (42.8-105) In the reoperated group, thyroglobulin level was 2.08±1.56ng/dl and decreased after surgery to 0.13±0.12ng/dl, P less then .01. Only one case of transient hypoparathyroidism was found in the tota…[Read more]

Background Urine cytology is a noninvasive and inexpensive method; however, it is limited in low sensitivity for detecting and monitoring urothelial carcinoma (UC). To overcome limitation of cytology, several tests using urine samples have been attempted that immunocytochemical staining is an inexpensive and easy to perform ancillary technique.…[Read more]

8%) and the skin snip (71.4%). The OV16 RDT had a higher specificity (98.6%) compared to the OV16 ELISA (84.8%). Our study confirms the need to develop more sensitive tests to ensure the accurate detection of ongoing transmission before stopping elimination efforts.Previous studies examining the association between kidney stone disease (KSD) and…[Read more]

Copyright © 2020 Bozionelos.Prior research has found significant emotional Stroop effects for negative stimuli, but the results have been inconsistent for positive stimuli. Combining an evolutionary perspective of emotion with the motivational dimensional model of affect, we speculated that the emotional Stroop effect of a stimulus may be…[Read more]

in West Africa.Trypanosoma species (Trypanosomatida, Kinetoplastea) are almost exclusively heteroxenous flagellated parasites, which have been extensively studied as the causative agents of severe trypanosomiasis in humans and domestic animals. However, the biology of avian trypanosomes remains insufficiently known, particularly in wildlife,…[Read more]

Results Fully adjusted models revealed that relatedness and competence were associated with lower odds of 30-day and more frequent cannabis use, alcohol use and binge-drinking. Higher autonomy was associated with higher odds of these behaviours. All associations were significant with the exception of competence and more frequent cannabis use among…[Read more]

The use of ultrasound as a medical diagnostic tool began in the 1940s. Ever since, the medical applications of ultrasound have included imaging, tumor ablation, and lithotripsy; however, an ever-increasing body of literature demonstrates that ultrasound has potential in other medical applications, including targeted drug delivery. Site-specific…[Read more]
