Poisson-type Multivariate Transfer Function Model Reveals Short-term Effects of Ambient Air Pollutants on Hospital Emergency room Visits for Cerebro-cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Laboratory experiments have shown that cardiovascular diseases are positively correlated to the concentration of ambient air pollutants, such as SO2, NO2, PM10, etc. It has also been repeatedly reported in many countries that increased concentration of ambient air pollutants leads to rise in hospital emergency room visitss for these diseases.

Obesity alters the fitness of peritumoral adipose tissue, exacerbating tumor invasiveness in renal cancer through the induction of ADAM12 and CYP1B1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

Susceptibility testing of Haemophilus influenzae— an international collaborative study in quality assessment [PDF]

, 2017
In order to compare the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in different geographical areas, it is necessary to ensure that agreement is achieved between laboratories on the assignment of strains to ‘susceptible' and ‘resistant' categories.

A Situation Analysis of the Capacity of Laboratories in Faith-Based Hospitals in Zambia to Conduct Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance: Opportunities to Improve Diagnostic Stewardship

Microorganisms
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health problem exacerbated by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics and the inadequate capacity of laboratories to conduct AMR surveillance.

Parkland Trauma Index of Mortality (PTIM): Real-time Predictive Model for PolyTrauma Patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Vital signs and laboratory values are routinely used to guide clinical decision-making for polytrauma patients, such as the decision to use damage control techniques versus early definitive fracture fixation. Prior multivariate models have tried to predict mortality risk, but due to several limitations like one-time prediction at the time of admission,

Detection rate for ESR1 mutations is higher in circulating‐tumor‐cell‐derived genomic DNA than in paired plasma cell‐free DNA samples as revealed by ddPCR

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.
