BackgroundInter-individual variability during sepsis limits appropriate triage of patients. Identifying, at first clinical presentation, gene expression signatures that predict subsequent severity will allow clinicians to identify the most at-risk groups patients and enable antibiotic use.MethodsBlood RNA-Seq data were collected from 348 in four emergency rooms (ER) one intensive-care-unit (ICU), 44 healthy controls. Gene profiles analyzed using machine learning mining clinically relevant...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly spread throughout Latin America, a region swept multiple previous and ongoing epidemics.

Background: There are few studies occupationally profiling as well using Geographic information system (GIS) to map human leptospirosis. no detailed, municipality-level, epidemiological maps in Colombia neither South America. We developed such for the Coffee-triangle region, and assess some occupational issues. Methods: surveillance cases data (2007-2011) were used estimate annual incidence rates (cases/100,000 population) of leptospirosis develop first disease 53 municipalities region...
Introduction: Lung cancer is the second most common worldwide and leading cause of deaths; non-small cell lung (NSCLC) constitutes about 85% cases, with ALK fusions representing 3–6% them.
