Impact of Metastatic Patterns on Survival and Response to Therapy in Neuroblastoma

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While the presence of metastases in neuroblastoma (NB) is a well‐established prognostic factor, the clinical significance of dissemination patterns and tumour burden and their impact on response and survival remains poorly understood.

Influence of disc height and strain-dependent solute diffusivity on metabolic transport in patient-personalized intervertebral disc models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionIntervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a primary contributor to low back pain, with nutritional stress due to the IVD’s avascularity recognized as a key factor.

The effect of sustained compression on oxygen metabolic transport in the intervertebral disc decreases with degenerative changes.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2011
Intervertebral disc metabolic transport is essential to the functional spine and provides the cells with the nutrients necessary to tissue maintenance. Disc degenerative changes alter the tissue mechanics, but interactions between mechanical loading and ...

Antibacterial Potency of Extracted Essential Oils of Some Plant Species against Common Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria

King Khalid University Journal of Health Sciences, 2021
Background: In the last decades, due to the rapid emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens, the antibiotic-resistance phenomenon has become a global health crisis. Therefore, there is a need to find new remedies against pathogenic microbes. Objectives:

Nephrogenic Rests/Nephroblastomatosis in Patients With Unilateral Wilms Tumor Are Not Associated With an Increased Risk of Relapse: An Analysis of Patients Treated on the SIOP‐WT‐2001 Protocol in the SIOP‐UK‐CCLG and SIOP‐GPOH Studies (2001–2022)

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Nephrogenic rests (NRs) and nephroblastomatosis (NBM) are precursor lesions for development of Wilms tumor (WT). Their association with the risk of relapse has not been properly assessed, partly due to misunderstanding of their diagnostic criteria and terminology.

Finite Element Study of Oxygen Diffusion in the Intervertebral Disc

Advances in Bioengineering, 2000
Abstract The intervertebral disc consists of a water-rich extra-cellular matrix which is synthesized and maintained by its cells. The disc is the largest avascular tissue in the body with its cells lying as much as 8mm away from the blood supply.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Comparative evaluation of in vitro activity of tigecycline using the disc diffusion method and the VITEK-2 COMPACT in clinical isolates at a tertiary care cancer center [PDF]

Medical Laboratory Journal
Background: Tigecycline susceptibility testing and reporting remain enigmatic due to the lack of established guidelines. Disc diffusion, as a method of performing susceptibility testing, is more widely accepted worldwide due to its ease of use.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Enterococci Isolates from Nosocomial Infections in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz City [PDF]

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Shahīd Ṣadūqī Yazd, 2023
Introduction: Enterococci are opportunistic bacteria that can become pathogenic if colonized. Resistance to commonly used antibiotics by Enterococci causing nosocomial infections is of concern, which necessitates judicious, responsible and evidence-based
