Network-based community detection of comorbidities and their association with SARS-CoV-2 virus during COVID-19 pathogenesis [PDF]
Recent studies emphasized the necessity to identify key (human) biological processes and pathways targeted by the Coronaviridae family of viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 caused up to 33-55\% death rates in COVID-19 patients with malignant neoplasms and Alzheimer's disease.

Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm Involving the Endometrium and Presenting with Mucinous Vaginal Discharge. [PDF]
Primary appendiceal mucinous lesions are uncommon and represent a spectrum from nonneoplastic mucous retention cysts to invasive adenocarcinoma. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) represent an intermediate category on this spectrum and can ...

Is pneumoperitoneum the terra ignota in ultrasonography?
In most cases, pneumoperitoneum is caused by gastrointestinal perforation, which usually requires surgical treatment. Many authors believe that ultrasound imaging of pneumoperitoneum is at least as effective as conventional radiography, or even that ...

LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Leveraging big data and artificial intelligence for smarter trials in myeloproliferative neoplasms
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) – polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytosis, and primary myelofibrosis – are chronic blood cancers that originate from hematopoietic stem cells carrying driver mutations which activate cytokine signaling pathways

This study explores the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying Lynch syndrome‐associated and sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). By highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting the PI3K‐Akt pathway in Lynch syndrome‐associated CRC and the Wnt pathway in sporadic CRC, the findings open avenues for personalised treatment strategies, aiming to ...

JulianA: An automatic treatment planning platform for intensity-modulated proton therapy and its application to intra- and extracerebral neoplasms [PDF]
Creating high quality treatment plans is crucial for a successful radiotherapy treatment. However, it demands substantial effort and special training for dosimetrists. Existing automated treatment planning systems typically require either an explicit prioritization of planning objectives, human-assigned objective weights, large amounts of historic ...

Formation of Pancreatoduodenal Fistula in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas Decreased the Frequency of Recurrent Pancreatitis [PDF]
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are characterized by proliferation of mucin-secreting cells in the main pancreatic duct (PD) or its branches. The secreted thick mucin usually leads to PD obstruction and dilation.

Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.
