Salivary gland neoplasms (SGNs) respond poorly to the traditional chemotherapy agents limiting the availability of systemic treatment options in the metastatic setting. The recent identification of actionable molecular targets in SGNs has led to the evaluation of targeted therapies in non-approved advanced SGNs.

We present the case of an…[Read more]

We analyzed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of fetal corpus callosum abnormalities and discussed their prognosis based on the results of postnatal follow up.

One hundred fifty-five fetuses were diagnosed with corpus callosum abnormalities by MRI at our hospital from 2004 to 2019. Gesell Development Scales were used to…[Read more]

Further analysis reveals that an increase in age can be a predictor of both lifetime history of substance abuse and dependence while peer/sibling victimisation may predict lifetime history of substance abuse. There was no significant association of lifetime substance-use disorder with family functioning and depression in the juvenile…[Read more]

A greater understanding and effective management of biological invasions is a priority for biodiversity conservation globally. Many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing the colonization and spread of multiple co-occurrent alien species. Here the implications of both the relative abundance and richness of alien invaders on aquatic…[Read more]

International and domestic travelers may acquire a wide variety of infectious diseases transmitted by exposure to insects. Exposure to ticks may be associated with systemic infections clinically suspected through skin and soft tissue manifestations along with fever, myalgia, headache, and other related symptoms. Cutaneous lesions may include…[Read more]

Our prediction of the diagnosis for the patients from this completely independent validation study using a classification model trained on the data from the previous study resulted in an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.66, which is comparable to questionnaire-based OSA screenings.

Thus, our results suggest that…[Read more]

We would like to report the eco-friendly synthesis of reduced graphene oxide using aqueous extract of Acorus calamus (rhizome), dried fruit and seed parts of Terminalia bellirica, Helicteres isora and Quercus infectoria and the whole shell part of Turbinella pyrum by simple steam bath technique. The structural and morphological characteristics of…[Read more]

We randomized 33 dyads and had 100% retention in the trial among AIM2ACT participants. Dyads frequently engaged with AIM2ACT (M= 21days for adolescents, 32.65days for caregivers) and reported very high satisfaction with content, functionality, and helpfulness. Participants randomized to AIM2ACT had significant improvements in asthma control scores…[Read more]

10-2.26, p = 0.013) as well. In summary, our study suggests that the risk of surgical NEC and FIP is higher in patients with blood group AB and lower in those having non-AB blood groups.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of deep brain stimulation of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT-DBS) on systemic inflammatory res…[Read more]

ing molecular diffusion and release processes at low concentrations, high sensitivities, in real time and in a visual manner.Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity during renal procedures. Nitric oxide (NO) deficiency is known to play a crucial role in renal I/R injury; however, low stability…[Read more]

Therefore, mw formed the base of the calibrated GUTS bioavailability model (GUTS-BLM), which predicted 30-d x% lethal concentration (LCx) values within a 2-fold error. The GUTS-BLM was combined with an IBM, inSTREAM-Gen, into a GUTS-BLM-IBM. Assuming that juvenile survival was the only effect of Cu and Zn exposure, population-level effect…[Read more]
