Remote Pancreatic Response to Severe Polytrauma Correlates With Clinical Outcome
ABSTRACT Background Acute pancreatic injury can result from blunt or sharp force trauma, often leading to serious complications. While direct pancreatic trauma is associated with high rates of infection, organ failure, and mortality, little is known about the pancreas as a potential secondary target and remote trauma organ and thereby as a booster of ...

Host genetic factors affect susceptibility to norovirus infections in Burkina Faso. [PDF]
Norovirus (NoV) constitutes the second most common viral pathogen causing pediatric diarrhea after rotavirus. In Africa, diarrhea is a major health problem in children, and yet few studies have been performed regarding NoV. The association of histo-blood

Influence of ABO genotype and phenotype on angiotensin-converting enzyme plasma activity [PDF]
ABO rs495828 polymorphism has recently been associated with risk of hypertension and cough induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which could be due to low ACE plasma activity.

Epigenomics‐guided precision oncology: Chromatin variants in prostate tumor evolution
Abstract Prostate cancer is a common malignancy that in 5%–30% leads to treatment‐resistant and highly aggressive disease. Metastasis‐potential and treatment‐resistance is thought to rely on increased plasticity of the cancer cells—a mechanism whereby cancer cells alter their identity to adapt to changing environments or therapeutic pressures to create

Background Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) which include the ABO and Lewis antigen systems have been known for determining predisposition to infections. For instance, blood group O individuals have a higher risk of severe illness due to V.

Human Norovirus Interactions with Histo-Blood Group Antigens and Human Milk Oligosaccharides [PDF]
ABSTRACT Human noroviruses interact with both human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The former are believed to be important for a virus infection, while the latter might act as natural decoys in the host during an infection. However, certain noroviruses are known to bind poorly to HBGAs and yet still
