SNPs Filtered by Allele Frequency Improve the Prediction of Hypertension Subtypes [PDF]
Hypertension is the leading global cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Distinct hypertension subtypes may vary in their prognoses and require different treatments. An individual's risk for hypertension is determined by genetic and environmental factors as well as their interactions.

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential
In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

The Impact of Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome Burden on Pain, Neuropathy Severity and Fiber Type
ABSTRACT Objective Determine the association between diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) burden (number of MetS criteria fulfilled) and pain, neuropathy severity, and fiber type involvement in individuals with established polyneuropathy. Methods The Peripheral Neuropathy Research Registry was queried for individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes ...

La alteración de sistemas natriuréticos renales se asocia con el desarrollo de hipertensión arterial y precede en el tiempo a la aparición de daño renal en un modelo de síndrome metabólico [PDF]
Objetivos: El objetivo del trabajo consistió en determinar la existencia de alteraciones en los sistemas natriuréticos del péptido natriurético atrial y dopamina renal en un modelo de síndrome metabólico por sobrecarga de fructosa y asociarlas con ...

A Multi-Stage Framework for the 2022 Multi-Structure Segmentation for Renal Cancer Treatment [PDF]
Three-dimensional (3D) kidney parsing on computed tomography angiography (CTA) images is of great clinical significance. Automatic segmentation of kidney, renal tumor, renal vein and renal artery benefits a lot on surgery-based renal cancer treatment. In this paper, we propose a new nnhra-unet network, and use a multi-stage framework which is based on ...
