A DIA‐MS‐based proteomics approach to find potential serum prognostic biomarkers in glioblastoma patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A DIA‐MS‐based proteomics analysis of serum samples from GB patients and healthy controls showed that high levels of IL1R2 and low levels of CRTAC1 and HRG in serum are associated with poor survival outcomes for GB patients. These circulating proteins could serve as biomarkers for the prediction of outcome in patients with GB.

Beyond p‐values: Assessing clinical significance in acupuncture research

open access: yesAdvanced Chinese Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In acupuncture randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the proper interpretation of results requires a thorough understanding of key statistical concepts such as p‐value, effect size, and the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). This paper explores the relationships among these metrics and their implications for assessing the clinical ...
