To summarise the CT findings of gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC) in the 40s late arterial phase and differentiate it from tubular adenocarcinoma (TAC) using an integrative nomogram.

A total of 241 patients including 59 PCCs, 109 TACs, and 73 other type gastric cancers were enrolled. Thirteen CT morphological characteristics of each…[Read more]

A comprehensive approach could explain the success of the medical treatment. The principal components are the repeated application of EWS as damage control.In 2019, by culturing a skin swab from the hand of a 30-year-old healthy woman using the culturomic method, we isolated the new bacterial strain Marseille-Q2057T (= CSUR-Q2057). Matrix-assisted…[Read more]

In this paper a systematic study is carried out to demonstrate the structural stability and magnetic novelty of adsorbing transition metal (TM) dimers (A-B) on graphyne (GY) surface, GY@A-B. Our research points out that the dimers are strongly adsorbed onto GY due to their large natural pores and the electron affinity of the sp-hybridized carbon…[Read more]

Predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality on admission is challenging but essential for risk stratification of patient outcomes and designing an appropriate plan-of-care, especially among transferred patients.

Develop a model that uses administrative and clinical data within 24h of transfer to predict 30-day in-hospital mortality at an…[Read more]

Finally, suggestions for selecting appropriate pSLM and future directions in this area are discussed. Cytologic features such as the shape and size of tumor cells can predict metastatic death in uveal melanoma and other cancers but suffer from poor reproducibility. In this study, we investigate the interobserver concordance of digital morphometry,…[Read more]

Serum asprosin levels of diabetic rats were found to be decreased compared to the control group. This is the first study in the literature that reports the presence of asprosin in liver, kidney, heart, stomach, testis and brain tissues in rats. The aim of the study is to determine the presence of ASP, a newly discovered adipokine, in various…[Read more]

Carnosine is a naturally occurring histidine-containing dipeptide present at high concentration in mammalian skeletal muscles. Carnosine was shown to affect muscle contraction, prevent the accumulation of oxidative metabolism by-products and act as an intracellular proton buffer maintaining the muscle acid-base balance. The present study was…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Direct-acting antivirals have revolutionized hepatitis C treatment, also for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but some controversy exists regarding the use of sofosbuvir (SOF) in patients with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less then 30 mL/min. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of these regimens for hepatitis C…[Read more]
