Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP) are the most common RCC types. RCC has high immune infiltration levels, and immunotherapy is currently one of the most promising treatments for RCC. Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) is an extracellular matrix protein that regulates tumor…[Read more]

52 ± 0.1    mm – 1 , and light that was propagated along the myelinated axons in the white matter produced a measured μ s ‘ of 1.57 ± 0.03    mm – 1 , across the various species considered. This 50% decrease in scattering power along the myelinated axons is observed with three different measurement strategies (integrating spheres, observed t…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the most sustainable and effective malaria control tool currently available. Global targets are for 80% of the population living in malaria endemic areas to have access to (own) and use a LLIN. However, current access to LLINs in endemic areas is 56% due to system inefficiencies and budget…[Read more]

Sleep problems are related to the elevated levels of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker β-amyloid (Aβ). Hypotheses about the causes of this relationship can be generated from molecular markers of sleep problems identified in rodents. A major marker of sleep deprivation is Homer1a, a neural protein coded by the HOMER1 gene, which has also b…[Read more]

505 ± 0.230 ng/mL); p less then 0.05. The cut-off value for serum PCT levels was 0.7 ng/mL for the diagnosis of infections in DCPs, for which the sensitivity and specificity were 93.1% and 73.2%, respectively. The AUC was 0.91 (95% CI 0.83-0.99). CONCLUSIONS Serum procalcitonin seems to provide satisfactory diagnostic biomarkers in SBP.…[Read more]

We found that sensorimotor compatible reactions were speeded during systole whereas sensorimotor incompatible ones were prolonged. This effect was independent of cognitive compatibility and restricted to auditory stimuli. Startle was inhibited during systole irrespective of modality or compatibility. Our results demonstrate how differential…[Read more]
