Sepsis is one of the medical conditions with a high mortality rate and lacks specific treatment despite several years extensive research. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) are emerging as focal target in pathophysiology sepsis. Extracellular (EVs) derived from pathogenic microorganisms carry factors such carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, virulence regarded “long-range weapons” to trigger an inflammatory response. In particular, small size bEVs can cross blood-brain...

In addition to their established action of synthetic lethality in tumor cells, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) also orchestrate immune microenvironment (TIME) that contributes suppressing growth. However, it remains not fully understood whether and how PARPis trigger tumor-targeting responses.

Abstract Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) play critical roles in reprogramming other immune cells and orchestrating antitumor immunity. However, the interplay between TAMs tumor responsible for enhancing evasion remains insufficiently understood. Here, we revealed that interleukin (IL)‐1β was among most abundant cytokines within vitro tumor‐macrophage coculture system, enhanced IL‐1β expression associated with impaired cytotoxicity of CD8 + T human ovarian cancer, indicating possibility...

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most commonly diagnosed among women. Ghana a low-middle- income country with annual cases of 3151 and 2119 deaths. The high prevalence rate cervical in mainly due to ineffective preventive measures insufficient knowledge about disease. Therefore, our objective was evaluate level awareness attitude towards human papillomavirus its vaccine Ghanaians. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional survey on carried out from March 2019 February 2020....

Lung cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apart from tobacco smoke dietary factors, microbial infections have been reported as third cancers globally. Deciphering association between microbiome lung will provide potential biomarkers novel insight in progression. In this current study, we performed a meta-analysis to decipher possible C. pneumoniae human papillomavirus (HPV) risk cancer.Literature search was conducted most English Chinese databases. Data were...

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The use machine learning systems to detect respiratory diseases via non-invasive measures such as physical laboratory parameters gaining momentum has been proposed decrease diagnostic uncertainty associated with bacterial pneumonia. Herein, this study conducted several experiments using eight models predict pneumonia based on biomarkers, parameters, features. We perform machine-learning analysis 535...

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs), such as decitabine (DAC), are currently used first-line therapy for patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) not eligible standard chemotherapies. Exacerbation of thrombocytopenia is one the prevalent complications after HMA treatment. Eltrombopag (EP), an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist, can efficiently stimulate megakaryopoiesis elevate platelet counts in MDS/AML patients. However, significance...

Introduction Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has been proven to be a highly efficacious treatment for colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD). However, it is still unclear how identify those who might benefit the most from ICI therapy. Hypoxia facilitates progression of tumor different aspects, including proliferation, metabolism, angiogenesis, and migration, improves resistance ICI. Therefore, essential conduct comprehensive understanding influences hypoxia in COAD biomarker predicting...

In many developing countries, most children cannot meet minimum dietary diversity (MDD), defined as the consumption of four or more seven food groups. Ghana, only 35% met MDD nationwide in 2017, but rates are worse among rural poor and resource-constrained individuals like Head Porters (HPs). The current study investigated correlates HPs aged 6-23 months old Ghana.A cross-sectional survey was carried out 2021 423 selected purposively from eight market centers two commercial cities. A...

At present, methods of radiotherapy simulation for breast cancer based on four‑dimensional computerised tomography (4D‑CT) or three‑dimensional CT (3D‑CT) remain controversial. In the present study, 7 patients with residual tissue received whole 3D‑CT and 4D‑CT simulation. For plan, four types images were produced, including end inspiration expiration, acquired by maximal intensity projection (MIP) average (AIP). clinical target volume (CTV) plan (PTV) marginally higher compared plan....
