COVID-19 is an opening to think about how societies might center justice and equity in efforts to build back better. Governments should take this opportunity to invest in structural changes to reduce persistent inequities in food access due to poverty, health outcomes, decent work and overall wellbeing, especially for racialized communities and…[Read more]

miR-16-5p, miR-106a-5p, miR-25-3p, miR-425-5p, and miR-93-5p were highly overexpressed and let-7b-5p was conversely downregulated in tumor tissues. Excluding miR-20a-5p and miR-223-3p, the 10 other miRNAs were all significantly upregulated in BC serum-derived exosomes.

A signature consisting of 12 serum miRNAs was identified and showed…[Read more]

In addition, the asymmetric distribution of the sensitivity in the progeny implied possible epistatic effects.

Resistance to myclobutanil and tebuconazole is strongly correlated. At least two genes are involved in the control of tebuconazole resistance in V. inaequalis.

Fasciolosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases of livestock. The need for better control strategies gave rise to the identification of various vaccine candidates. The recombinant form of a member of the cysteine protease family, cathepsin L1 of Fasciola hepatica (FhCL1) has been a vaccine target for the past few decades since it has…[Read more]

In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, HbA1c > 6% was independently associated with 6-month mortality (OR 5.85, 95% CI 2.26-15.12, p < 0.001) and poor outcomes (OR 4.18, 95% CI 1.41-12.40, p < 0.001).

This study showed that HbA1c higher than 6% at admission was associated with increased 6-month mortality and poor outcomes…[Read more]

stic role than RECIST 1.1.

The sum volumetric regression ratio and response based on RECIST 1.1 were related to the prognosis in locoregionally advanced NPC after induction chemotherapy. Sum volumetric regression ratio is an independent outcome predictor for survival in locoregionally advanced NPC, playing a better prognostic role than RECIST…[Read more]

374, CI 0.9797-1.927, p = 0.003, and Genotypic in dominant model OR = 1.77, CI 1.04-2.99, p = 0.002) with the risk of diabetes and associated dyslipidemia. The -94 ATTG insertion/insertion (ins/ins) genotype was associated with significantly increased level of serum TNF-α (p = 0.002), serum IL-6 (p = 0.067) in diabetes-induced dyslipidemia. Multip…[Read more]

The rodent heart is frequently used to study human cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although advanced cardiovascular ultrasound imaging methods are available for human clinical practice, application of these techniques to small animals remains limited due to the temporal and spatial-resolution demands. Here, an ultrasound vector-flow workflow is…[Read more]

Rather, highly variable responses, even under weak pressures, suggest that ‘safe-operating spaces’ are unlikely to be quantifiable.The SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged in December 2019 and has caused a worldwide pandemic due to the lack of any pre-existing immunity. Accurate serology testing is urgently needed to help diagnose infection, determine past…[Read more]
