A Rare Presentation of Invasive Tuberculosis of the Central Nervous System in an Immunocompetent Patient in a Nonendemic Country. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We herein report a rare case of a 25-year-old immunocompetent male patient with disseminated tuberculosis of central nervous system (CNS), first presenting as multiple cerebral lesions with no meningeal involvement. Subsequent diagnostic workup disclosed

One year of COVID-19: infection rates and symptoms in patients with inherited metabolic diseases followed by MetabERN

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, MetabERN has been monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 infection rates within its metabolic community. To gather data on the total number of cases and the severity of symptoms among IMD patients one year into

Semi-supervised Rare Disease Detection Using Generative Adversarial Network [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Rare diseases affect a relatively small number of people, which limits investment in research for treatments and cures. Developing an efficient method for rare disease detection is a crucial first step towards subsequent clinical research. In this paper, we present a semi-supervised learning framework for rare disease detection using generative ...

Escape from TGF‐β‐induced senescence promotes aggressive hallmarks in epithelial hepatocellular carcinoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Chronic TGF‐β exposure drives epithelial HCC cells from a senescent state to a TGF‐β resistant mesenchymal phenotype. This transition is characterized by the loss of Smad3‐mediated signaling, escape from senescence, enhanced invasiveness and metastatic potential, and upregulation of key resistance modulators such as MARK1 and GRM8, ultimately promoting

Rare Diseases in Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Na União Europeia (UE) uma doença é considerada rara quando a prevalência observada é inferior a 1 caso em cada 2000 pessoas. No entanto, todos os indivíduos com doenças raras compreendem no seu conjunto cerca 30 milhões de cidadãos, ou seja, 6% a 8%

Difficulty-aware Meta-learning for Rare Disease Diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Rare diseases have extremely low-data regimes, unlike common diseases with large amount of available labeled data. Hence, to train a neural network to classify rare diseases with a few per-class data samples is very challenging, and so far, catches very little attention.

Rare Disease Identification from Clinical Notes with Ontologies and Weak Supervision [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The identification of rare diseases from clinical notes with Natural Language Processing (NLP) is challenging due to the few cases available for machine learning and the need of data annotation from clinical experts. We propose a method using ontologies and weak supervision.

Targeting the AKT/mTOR pathway attenuates the metastatic potential of colorectal carcinoma circulating tumor cells in a murine xenotransplantation model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells
