Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

The comparisons of non‐linear models to describe the growth performance of Lori‐Bakhtiari sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background The study of growth traits is of interest to many animal scientists, regardless of specialization, due to the economic importance of growth rate, mature weight and other related traits.

Genetic evaluation of growth traits in Nellore cattle through multi-trait and random regression models

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2018
We aimed to evaluate different orders of fixed and random effects in random regression models (RRM) based on Legendre orthogonal polynomials as well as to verify the feasibility of these models to describe growth curves in Nellore cattle.

Growth Curves Modelling and Its Application

Engineering Proceedings, 2023
In this article, we compare two ways of modelling measures of fetal growth. The goal is to impute the missing information for certain ultrasound measurements that are observed at different times and with different numbers of observations.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Cultivation of Chlorella sp. in a Closed System Using Mining Wastewater and Simulated Flue Gas: Biomass Production and CO₂ Fixation Potential

Sustainable Chemistry
Chlorella sp. was cultivated in a closed system using PET bottles (5 L) and with the continuous injection of air and commercial gas (98% CO2) and in simulated conditions (15% CO2, 73% N2, and 12% O2).

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Growth Curves of Alexandrian Infants

Journal of High Institute of Public Health, 2009
Objective: The objective of this article is to construct infants growth curves of weight-for-age and length-for-age for Alexandria infants, (0-2 years) and to compare the WHO Child Growth Standards (2006) and the current constructed curves.
