Prevalence of chronic hepatitis B in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea
Western Pacific Surveillance and Response, 2020 Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects over 250 million people worldwide. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) CHB prevalence has been estimated to be over 8% and is a leading cause of death. To address this problem, an alliance between the government of Oro Province, a

Prevalence and incidence [PDF]
BMJ, 2010 A randomised controlled trial investigated whether screening and treating women for chlamydial infection reduced the subsequent occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease.1 Between 2004 and 2006, vaginal swabs were provided by 2529 sexually active female students. The samples were randomly allocated to immediate testing (screening group), or storage and

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Pan-disease clustering analysis of the trend of period prevalence [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 For all diseases, prevalence has been carefully studied. In the "classic" paradigm, the prevalence of different diseases has usually been studied separately. Accumulating evidences have shown that diseases can be "correlated". The joint analysis of prevalence of multiple diseases can provide important insights beyond individual-disease analysis ...

Mining Maximal Dynamic Spatial Co-Location Patterns [PDF]
, 2018 A spatial co-location pattern represents a subset of spatial features whose instances are prevalently located together in a geographic space. Although many algorithms of mining spatial co-location pattern have been proposed, there are still some problems: 1) they miss some meaningful patterns (e.g., {Ganoderma_lucidumnew, maple_treedead} and ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.
