The LEGACy study: a European and Latin American consortium to identify risk factors and molecular phenotypes in gastric cancer to improve prevention strategies and personalized clinical decision making globally

Abstract Background Gastric Cancer (GC) is the fourth most deadly cancer worldwide. Enhanced understanding of its key epidemiological and molecular drivers is urgently needed to lower the incidence and improve outcomes. Furthermore, tumor b...

Study of serum Total Immunoglobulin E in Egyptian patients with newly diagnosed colorectal carcinoma

Total immunoglobulin E (IgE) has roles in allergy and anti-parasitic immunity. Recently IgE showed a major role in cancer immune surveillance; an increased risk of solid and blood malignancies has been associated with total IgE deficiency. ...

Antibacterial activity of selenium nanoparticles/copper oxide (SeNPs/CuO) nanocomposite against some multi-drug resistant clinical pathogens

Abstract Background Recent advances in nanomedicine have derived novel prospects for development of various bioactive nanoparticles and nanocomposites with significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. This study aims to investigate ...

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DN...

Basic Immunology

A knowledge of immunology is essential in developing ELISAs. Information about the specific system and similar systems already studied from the biochemical and immunological aspects is important to allow development of assays and to determi...

Improving Muscle Function Through a Multimodal Behavioural Intervention for Knee Osteoarthritis and Obesity: The POMELO Trial

ABSTRACT Background Treatments aimed at improving physical function and body composition, including reducing fat mass (FM) and increasing muscle mass, may benefit individuals with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) and obesity. We investigat...

Importance of background threshold value development within risk‐based corrective action programs

Abstract Risk‐based corrective action (RBCA) programs employ conservative models to develop default values for soil screening, which simplify the risk assessment process. However, for several naturally occurring metals (e.g., arsenic and le...

THE APPLICATION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN ROMANIA’S AUTOMOTIVE FIELD

Romania's automotive sector is experiencing an evolution towards sustainable transport, with an increasing interest in incorporating solar power technology into vehicles. This article examines the present state of solar power use in Roman...

GROWTH AND YIELD RESPONSES OF SOYBEAN (Glycine max L.) TO ZINC OXIDE (ZnO) NANOPARTICLES FOLIAR APPLICATION

Aim. This study was purposed to investigate the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the growth and yield performance of two soybean (Glycine max L.) varieties, TGX1904-6F and TGX1951-3F, under controlled experimental conditions...

Integrability of Reeb Distribution Associated to a Generalized Engel Manifold

In this paper, we define a generalized Reeb distribution of an Engel 4n-manifold and give a necessary and sufficient condition for integrability of this Reeb distribution which gives a generalization of some results of N. Pia about Reeb dis...

Is There a Retrograde Accretion Disk around 4U 1626–67? Tracking Torque Reversals with a State-space Model

X-ray timing studies of the persistent, Galactic, accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1626−67 reveal torque reversals, during which the pulse frequency ν ( t ) alternates between multiyear episodes of secular acceleration and deceleration, separate...

Item analysis: basic concepts of physics students in geometric optics

The purpose of this study was to analyze students' items and abilities—the analysis for mapping test instruments and students' basic concepts regarding optics subjects before lectures are held. The test participants were 35 physics students...

Shocklets and Short Large Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the High Mach Foreshock of Venus

Abstract Shocklets and short large‐amplitude magnetic structures (SLAMS) are steepened magnetic fluctuations commonly found in Earth's upstream foreshock. Here we present Venus Express observations from the 26th of February 2009 establishin...

An Unsupervised and End-to-End Registration Method Using Offset Field and Pseudodata for Video SAR Images

Video synthetic aperture radar (video SAR) has been successfully applied in many fields and the registration of the video SAR images has been proven to be a crucial step in their preprocessing. However, video SAR images exhibit more severe ...

Ensino de saneamento do meio nas escolas de saúde pública Teaching environmental sanitation in schools of public health

Após a última guerra mundial, e especialmente nesta década, em decorrência do crescimento demográfico e do desenvolvimento industrial, a par de migração da população rural em direção aos conglomerados urbanos, aumentaram os problemas relaci...

Evolution of use and overuse of triptans in Austria – What has changed in the last 15 years?

Abstract Background Triptans are highly effective acute treatments for migraine attacks, yet population-level data suggest persistent underuse. Updated real-world data on triptan use and overuse in Austria are lacking. Methods This nationwi...
