82. The difficulty parameter ranged from -4.14 to 0.42. The discrimination parameter ranged from 0.41 to 1.89. The items regarding drug-drug/drug-food interactions were able to differentiate knowledge about oral anticoagulation with greater accuracy. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION This study is the first that uses this methodology to evaluate the…[Read more]

erved.Mosquitoes must feed on vertebrate blood for egg development. As a consequence, some mosquito species are vectors for pathogens that cause devastating diseases in humans. Hence, understanding the mechanisms that control egg developmental cycles is important for developing novel approaches for the control of mosquito-borne diseases. The…[Read more]

The limit of detection of the proposed biosensor for microRNA-21 and microRNA-141 was respectively 204 aM and 138 aM with a wide linear range from 500 aM to 50 nM. As a proof of concept, this newly-developed strategy was coupled with a 96-well adaptive sensing device to successfully profile three cancer plasma samples based on their altered…[Read more]

5% CI .83 – 1.43, P=.57). CONCLUSIONS Patients with HIV/AIDS undergoing AV access creation have similar outcomes to those without HIV, including long-term survival. Patients with HIV/AIDS had fewer traditional ESRD risk factors compared to non-HIV patients. Our findings show that contemporary approach for creation and management of AV access in…[Read more]

clinical trial UMIN000003409.Minimal change disease accounts for up to 25% of the cases of nephrotic syndrome in adult population. The allergic mechanism has been associated with minimal change disease and allergens have been implied, namely insect stings. We present a case report of a woman with new onset of nephrotic syndrome after a…[Read more]

Preclinical data suggest cell cycle checkpoint blockade may induce an immunostimulatory tumor microenvironment. However, it remains elusive whether immunomodulation occurs in the clinical setting. To test this, we used blood and fresh tissue samples collected at baseline and post therapy from a phase II trial of the cell cycle checkpoint 1…[Read more]

Improving access to diagnosis constitutes a key step in the control of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS epidemic. Rapid testing is increasingly gaining interest as a powerful diagnostic tool to achieve this goal. The purpose of this study was to implement the rapid HIV test (RHT) in a clinical setting in order to evaluate its…[Read more]

Gonadotropin-dependent expression of ACE2 was found in human ovaries, but it is unclear whether SARS-Coronavirus 2 (CoV-2) adversely affects female gametogenesis. Evidence suggests that COVID-19 infection has a lower maternal case fatality rate than SARS or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), but anecdotal reports suggest that infected,…[Read more]
