Previous studies have demonstrated that statin use might be associated with a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the value of statin on the prognosis still needs to be evaluated. Based on the above considerations, we conducted a meta-analysis regarding the value of statin on the prevention and prognosis of HCC.…[Read more]

The immunomodulatory effects of entecavir (ETV) in anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) therapy have long been recognized. This study aimed to determine the effects of ETV on non-natural killer innate lymphoid cells (non-NK ILCs) in HBV-related liver disease progression. We enrolled treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and HBV-related liver…[Read more]

We modified the recall criteria and developed our novel diagnostic flowchart using these findings. The sensitivity and specificity of the new flowchart (current study 0.97, 0.45; BC-04 study dataset 0.95, 0.45) were similar to those of experts (current study 0.96, 0.54; BC-04 study dataset 0.98, 0.38).

We developed a simple diagnostic…[Read more]

Caregivers modify their speech when talking to infants, a specific type of speech known as infant-directed speech (IDS). This speaking style facilitates language learning compared to adult-directed speech (ADS) in infants with normal hearing (NH). While infants with NH and those with cochlear implants (CIs) prefer listening to IDS over ADS, it is…[Read more]

26, 95% confidence interval 1.02, 1.56). Over time, the depression gap did not change among adults, but it increased among adolescents (age-by-time interaction prevalence ratio = 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.01, 1.08). Results were similar for symptom-based studies. The present study finds no evidence of a change in the depression gender gap…[Read more]

The management of anterior mediastinal masses is a challenge for anesthesiologists. Recommendations for their management in the context of diagnostic or curative surgery are well described. The added risk of laparoscopic surgery for fertility preservation has however never been discussed in the literature.

We present the case of a…[Read more]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by slow progressive deterioration of respiratory function with systemic effects which have a great impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The severity of airflow limitation in COPD, as reflected by forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) does not represent the systemic…[Read more]

dge on indigenous biosystematics of yams, constitutes an essential step towards setting development priorities aimed at in situ conservation. The study clearly demonstrated the value of folk biosystematics for assessing the actual extent and spatial dynamics of yam diversity in traditional farming.

Using GLP-1RAs instead of insulin cost US$54,851 and US$29,115 per case of all-cause mortality and hospitalized hypoglycemia prevented, respectively, from the payer perspective, and saved US$19,391 and US$10,293, respectively, from the healthcare sector perspective. Sensitivity analyses showed that the probability of using GLP-1RAs versus insulin…[Read more]

05) the concentration of the hormone was higher if the baby was a girl (164.3654.45-284.87 pg/mg) than if it was a boy (101.1337.95-193.56 pg/mg). These findings show that the sex of the future baby could be conditioned, among many other variables, by the mother´s stress levels during conception and first weeks of pregnancy. Further research is…[Read more]

The remarkable response we report and the relative safety of the intervention should prompt healthcare providers who care for PLACK syndrome patients to explore this as a potential treatment strategy in future studies.

After adjustment for grade group, PET vs CImg-only patients were observed to have a higher proportion of cN1 disease (OR=2.46, 95% CI 1.90-3.20) but not cM1 disease (OR=1.10, 95% CI 0.84-1.44).

Our registry data highlights the rapid uptake of PET imaging, particularly in high-risk disease. Based on this data, we highlight the increased…[Read more]

Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥3 showed significant restoration (p less then 0.01) after KJD; grade ≤2 did not. Effect sizes between severe KJD and HTO patients were large for MAC MRI cartilage thickness (d = 1.09; p = 0.005) and dABp (d = 1.13; p = 0.003), but not radiographic JSW (d = 0.28; p = 0.521). This suggests that in knee osteoarthritis pat…[Read more]

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mostly transmitted through respiratory droplets. One of the exposure methods pf this disease is through occupational exposures and, thereby, a large number of people are prone to catching this disease due to their occupations.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging therapy method that kills cancer cells by converting intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (• OH). To overcome the current limitations of the insufficient endogenous H2 O2 and the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, an intelligent nanocatalytic t…[Read more]
