Purpose An impoverished production of routinized expressions, namely, formulaic language, has been reported for monolingual speakers with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Little is known regarding how formulaic expressions might be manifested in individuals with neurological damage who speak more than one language. This study investigated the processing…[Read more]

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and a major cause of cancer-related death. Thus molecular biomarkers for colorectal cancer have been proposed. The role of long non-coding RNA EGFR-AS1 in colorectal cancer is still unclear. We aimed to evaluate its expression in different stages of colorectal cancer and determine any…[Read more]

• Based on existing study quality standard frameworks such as SPIRIT and STARD, we propose a list of quality criteria for ML studies in radiology. • The cardiovascular imaging research community should strive for the compilation of multicenter datasets for the development, evaluation, and benchmarking of ML algorithms.

Patients with hep…[Read more]

There were difficulties in the number of caregivers needed, since 266(66.6%[61.0-71.8]) have this possibility, and difficulties in 55(32.1%[25.1-39.6]) adults and older adults that do not carry out educational-therapeutic activities. There are feelings of anxiety, distress, or depression in people with disabilities and their caregivers.

The anterior cervical osteotomy with bilateral complete uncinectomy may be necessary for angular correction of fixed cervical kyphosis, and is particularly useful in the midcervical spine. A detailed understanding of the patient’s local anatomy, careful attention to positioning, and avoiding long periods of retraction time will help prevent…[Read more]

We think that it is the novelty in the results of environmental sciences. The literature refer to the application of organic matter, bentonite, zeolite and calcium oxide to neutralize other heavy metals. The research was carried out in the two plants system used for phytoremediation with main crop (spring barley-Hordeum vulgare L.) and after-crop…[Read more]

elated with each other. PCR measurement of HIV reservoir size showed that ADCC activity was higher in ECs and VCs with a reservoir size below the limit of detection compared to those having a measurable HIV reservoir size.Immunoregulation in the testis is characterized by a balance between immuno-suppression (or immune privilege) and the ability…[Read more]

Mast cells (MCs) are an important immune cell type in the skin and play an active role during wound healing. MCs produce mediators that can enhance acute inflammation, stimulate re-epithelialisation as well as angiogenesis, and promote skin scarring. There is also a link between MCs and abnormal pathological cutaneous scarring, with increased…[Read more]

The colon showed damage in the simple prismatic tissue and decreased crypt depth, and changes in microbiota and a decrease in the apparent fecal digestibility of crude protein were determined. Our results show that the adverse effects provoked by TBLF were partially reversed after 6 weeks of recovery post-treatment, suggesting that increasing the…[Read more]

Although add-on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising intervention for treating unipolar (UD) and bipolar depression (BD), its moderate antidepressant efficacy urges research into biomarkers for predicting therapeutic response and achieving highly targeted applications.

This open-label trial enrolled UD (N=58) and…[Read more]

To report our experience of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of renal tumors located within 10mm of the pyeloureteric junction (PUJ) and/or ureter, with hydrodissection as a stand-alone thermoprotective technique.

All patients who were offered combined hydrodissection and cryoablation of the PUJ/ureter to treat stage-1 renal cell…[Read more]
