The awareness of such a prosthetic joint is vital for family physicians.

Lack of a cure or vaccine of COVID-19 forced us to rely on public health interventions (PHIs) for combating the pandemic. The main objective of the study to assess the PHI in selected countries and relate the various factors related to the intervention with the case load…[Read more]

Conclusions Antibiotic therapy for biliary infection in LT recipients should be different from that in non-transplant populations, considering clinical factors such as the time interval after LT and MELD score.Glucocorticoids (GCs) use is associated with increased organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and the treatment goal is to…[Read more]

Little is known about the impact of sarcopenia (reduced muscle mass and function) in pediatric chronic liver disease. We compared psoas muscle surface area (PMSA), measured at the 4th lumbar vertebrae, in children listed for liver transplantation (LT) to that of healthy controls and studied the impact of sarcopenia on transplant-associated…[Read more]

Neural architecture search (NAS), which aims at automatically seeking proper neural architectures given a specific task, has attracted extensive attention recently in supervised learning applications. In most real-world situations, the class labels provided in the training data would be noisy due to many reasons, such as subjective judgments,…[Read more]

Tabanid flies (Tabanidae Diptera) are common hematophagous insects known to transmit some pathogens mechanically or biologically to animals; they are widely distributed throughout the world. However, no tabanid-borne viruses, except mechanically transmitted viruses, have been reported to date. In this study, we conducted RNA virome analysis of…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to determine whether incorporation of a 2-part artificial intelligence (AI) filter can improve the positive predictive value (PPV) of implantable loop recorder (ILR)-detected atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes.

ILRs can detect AF. Devices transmit data daily. It is critical that the PPV of ILR-detected AF…[Read more]

The committed step of eukaryotic DNA replication occurs when the pairs of Mcm2-7 replicative helicases that license each replication origin are activated. Helicase activation requires the recruitment of Cdc45 and GINS to Mcm2-7, forming Cdc45-Mcm2-7-GINS complexes (CMGs). Using single-molecule biochemical assays to monitor CMG formation, we found…[Read more]

Emerging evidence supports the clinical impact of sleep disturbance (SD) on cancer patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of SD in people with malignant brain tumors and caregivers, and explore any relationship between the patient-caregiver dyad’s sleep.

Eighty-one adults with primary malignant (91%) or…[Read more]

Osteoporosis and osteopenia are diagnosed most commonly by evaluating the lowest T-score of BMD measurements, typically taken at three sites the L1-L4 lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using all three BMD measurements and multivariate statistical theory to evaluate how the diagnoses of…[Read more]

024, respectively). D* was also significantly different between the HER-2 group and the Luminal group (p=0,041). Pembrolizumab While histological grades increase, D and f values tend to decrease, and D* tends to increase. While the Ki-67 index increases, D* and f values tend to increase, and D tend to decrease.
