Cases Post-Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy in Node-Positive Early Breast Cancer.'
sentences:
- Transdiagnostic behavior therapy.
- Recent advances in neoadjuvant systemic therapy between SLNB and MLNB was demonstrated.
Notably, 49 days of cases, respectively. MLNB inclusion in axillary staging post-NST
for initially node-positive patients is crucial. The radiation-free Savi Scout,
with its minimal MRI artefacts, is the preferred technology for TAD.
- Delirium affects approximately 20% to 25% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery
and is particularly common in older adults. This article reviews the etiology
and risk factors for delirium associated with cardiac surgery in older adults.
Delirium screening, prevention, and treatment strategies, including both pharmacological
and nonpharmacological therapies, are presented. Interventions appropriate in
both the intensive care unit and.
- source_sentence: Experimental studies on the geometrical characteristics determining
the system behavior of surface tension autooscillations.
sentences:
- Autooscillation of the surface tension is a phenomenon related to Marangoni instability
periodically arising and fading by dissolution of a surfactant droplet under a
water-air interface. A detailed experimental investigation was performed to clear
up the influence of the system geometry on development and characteristics of
autooscillations. It was found that the aspect ratio is an additional dimensionless
parameter that determines the system behavior equally to the Marangoni number.
The influence of the cell diameter, capillary immersion depth, and droplet radius
on the autooscillation period and amplitude was studied as well.
- Genome-wide methylation profiling is used in breast cancer (BC) studies, because
DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic regulator of gene expression, involved
in many diseases including BC. We investigated genome-wide methylation profiles
in both canine mammary tumor (CMT) tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(PBMCs) using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and found unique
CMT-enriched methylation signatures. A total of 2.2–4.2 million cytosine–phosphate–guanine
(CpG) sites were analyzed in both CMT tissues and PBMCs, which included 40,000
and 28,000 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with 341 and 247
promoters of differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in CMT tissues and PBMCs,
respectively. Genes related to apoptosis and ion transmembrane transport were
hypermethylated, but cell proliferation and oncogene were hypomethylated in tumor
tissues. Gene ontology analysis using DMGs in PBMCs revealed significant methylation
changes in the subset of immune cells and host defense system-related genes, especially
chemokine signaling pathway-related genes. Moreover, a number of CMT tissue-enriched
DMRs were identified from the promoter regions of various microRNAs (miRNAs),
including cfa-mir-96 and cfa-mir-149, which were reported as cancer-associated
miRNAs in humans. We also identified novel miRNAs associated with CMT which can
be candidates for new miRNAs associated with human BC. This study may provide
new insight for a better understanding of aberrant methylation associated with
both human BC and CMT, as well as possible targets for methylation-based BC diagnostic
markers.
- Urine estrogens were measured in 46 women students, ages 15-18, at a middle-class
high school in Athens and in 40 women of the same age residing at one of three
orphanages in the same city. The lower socioeconomic status (SES) of the latter
group was documented by their lower mean height (by 5.2 cm) and weight (by 5.3
kg) relative to the high school students. Both in follicular and luteal phases
of the menstrual cycle, the women with lower SES had 50% higher estriol ratios
(ratio of the concentration of estriol to the sum of the concentrations of estrone
and estradiol). In luteal specimens the concentration of all three major estrogens
was higher in the group with low SES than in the women in the other group, but
the concentration of estriol was most increased. There was also an indication
of less frequent anovular cycles among the women with low SES. These findings
are consistent with hypotheses linking either the estriol ratio or the frequency
of anovular cycles to breast cancer risk.

sentences:
- The literature tells us that reflection offers a means to evaluate practice and
to identify learning from our practice experiences. The following description
of a practice incident will be discussed loosely in the light of Rolfe's 'Model
of Nursing Praxis' as a means of exploring the theoretical exercise of 'reflection'
within a proposed theoretical framework. It is hoped that the exercise will help
to achieve some of the suggested positive endpoints of reflection, and provide
insight and learning on an incident that was particularly powerful on both a personal
and a professional level.
- 'BACKGROUND: This study reported height prediction and longitudinal growth changes
in Chinese pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during and after
treatment and their associations with outcomes. METHODS: Changes in 88 children
with AML in percentages according to the growth percentile curve for Chinese boys/girls
aged 2-18/0-2 years for body mass index (BMI), height, and weight from the time
of diagnosis to 2 years off therapy were evaluated. The outcomes of AML were compared
among patients with different BMI levels. RESULTS: The proportion of underweight
children (weight < 5th percentile) increased significantly from the initial diagnosis
to the end of consolidation treatment. The proportion of patients with low BMI
(BMI < 5th percentile) was highest (23.08%) during the consolidation phase, and
no children were underweight, but 20% were overweight (BMI > 75th percentile)
after 2 years of drug withdrawal. Unhealthy BMI at the initial diagnosis and during
intensive chemotherapy leads to poorer outcomes. For height, all patients were
in the range of genetic height predicted based on their parents'' height at final
follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Physicians should pay more attention to the changes in
height and weight of children with AML at these crucial treatment stages and intervene
in time.'
- The development of an iatrogenic superior vena cava syndrome secondary to a thrombosis
from an indwelling Hickman catheter in a patient with ovarian carcinoma is presented.
The patient was treated with a combination of streptokinase and heparin with successful
and dramatic results. Streptokinase appears to be highly effective in the treatment
of iatrogenic superior vena cava syndrome from Hickman catheters. It appears that
the Hickman catheter may be safely left in situ post-treatment.
- source_sentence: Cesarean delivery in a parturient with syringomyelia and worsening
neurological symptoms.
sentences:
- A parturient presented at 35 weeks' gestation with worsening neurological symptoms
caused by syringomyelia. She underwent urgent cesarean delivery. The etiology
and anesthetic considerations for an obstetrical patient with syringomyelia are
discussed.
- Attachment of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli to the human gut is considered
an important early step in infection that leads to diarrhea. This attachment is
mediated by pili, which belong to a limited number of serologically distinguishable
types. Many of these pili require the product of rns, or a closely related gene,
for their expression. We have located the major promoter for rns and found that
although its sequence diverges significantly from a sigma-70 promoter consensus
sequence, it is very strong. Transcription of rns is negatively regulated both
at a region upstream of this promoter and at a region internal to the rns open
reading frame. In addition, rns positively regulates its own transcription, probably
by counteracting these two negative effects.
- 'Purpose: Research exploring how places shape and interact with the lives of aging
adults must be grounded in the places where aging adults live and participate.
Combined participatory geospatial and qualitative methods have the potential to
illuminate the complex processes enacted between person and place to create much-needed
knowledge in this area. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify methods
that can be used to study person-place relationships among aging adults and their
neighborhoods by determining the extent and nature of research with aging adults
that combines qualitative methods with participatory geospatial methods. Design
and Methods: A systematic search of nine databases identified 1,965 articles published
from 1995 to late 2015. We extracted data and assessed whether the geospatial
and qualitative methods were supported by a specified methodology, the methods
of data analysis, and the extent of integration of geospatial and qualitative
methods. Results: Fifteen studies were included and used the photovoice method,
global positioning system tracking plus interview, or go-along interviews. Most
included articles provided sufficient detail about data collection methods, yet
limited detail about methodologies supporting the study designs and/or data analysis.
Implications: Approaches that combine participatory geospatial and qualitative
methods are beginning to emerge in the aging literature. By more explicitly grounding
studies in a methodology, better integrating different types of data during analysis,
and reflecting on methods as they are applied, these methods can be further developed
and utilized to provide crucial place-based knowledge that can support aging adults''
health, well-being, engagement, and participation.'
- source_sentence: Development of an in vitro regeneration system from immature inflorescences
and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in sudangrass.
sentences:
- HIV envelope protein (Env) is the sole target of broadly neutralizing antibodies
(BNAbs) that are capable of neutralizing diverse strains of HIV. While BNAbs develop
spontaneously in a subset of HIV-infected patients, efforts to design an envelope
protein-based immunogen to elicit broadly neutralizing antibody responses have
so far been unsuccessful. It is hypothesized that a primary barrier to eliciting
BNAbs is the fact that HIV envelope proteins bind poorly to the germline-encoded
unmutated common ancestor (UCA) precursors to BNAbs. To identify variant forms
of Env with increased affinities for the UCA forms of BNAbs 4E10 and 10E8, which
target the Membrane Proximal External Region (MPER) of Env, libraries of randomly
mutated Env variants were expressed in a yeast surface display system and screened
using fluorescence activated cell sorting for cells displaying variants with enhanced
abilities to bind the UCA antibodies. Based on analyses of individual clones obtained
from the screen and on next-generation sequencing of sorted libraries, distinct
but partially overlapping sets of amino acid substitutions conferring enhanced
UCA antibody binding were identified. These were particularly enriched in substitutions
of arginine for highly conserved tryptophan residues. The UCA-binding variants
also generally exhibited enhanced binding to the mature forms of anti-MPER antibodies.
Mapping of the identified substitutions into available structures of Env suggest
that they may act by destabilizing both the initial pre-fusion conformation and
the six-helix bundle involved in fusion of the viral and cell membranes, as well
as providing new or expanded epitopes with increased accessibility for the UCA
antibodies.
- 'BACKGROUND: Sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense) is a major biomass producer for livestock
feed and biofuel in many countries. It has a wide range of adaptations for growing
on marginal lands under biotic and abiotic stresses. The immature inflorescence
is an explant with high embryogenic competence and is frequently used to regenerate
different sorghum cultivars. Caffeic acid O-methyl transferase (COMT) is a key
enzyme in the lignin biosynthesis pathway, which limits ruminant digestion of
forage cell walls and is a crucial barrier in the conversion of plant biomass
to bioethanol. Genome editing by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis without a transgenic
footprint will accelerate the improvement and facilitate regulatory approval and
commercialization of biotech crops. METHODS AND RESULTS: We report the overcome
of the recalcitrance in sudangrass transformation and regeneration in order to
use genome editing technique. Hence, an efficient regeneration system has been
established to induce somatic embryogenesis from the immature inflorescence of
two sudangrass cultivars on four MS-based media supplemented with different components.
Our results indicate an interaction between genotype and medium composition. The
combination of Giza-1 cultivar and M4 medium produces the maximum frequency of
embryogenic calli of 80% and subsequent regeneration efficiency of 22.6%. Precise
mutagenesis of the COMT gene is executed using the CRISPR/Cas9 system with the
potential to reduce lignin content and enhance forage and biomass quality in sudangrass.
CONCLUSION: A reliable regeneration and transformation system has been established
for sudangrass using immature inflorescence, and the CRISPR/Cas9 system has demonstrated
a promising technology for genome editing. The outcomes of this research will
pave the road for further improvement of various sorghum genotypes to meet the
global demand for food, feed, and biofuels, achieving sustainable development
goals (SDGs).'
- 'The synthesis of an extracellular matrix containing long (approximately mm in
length) collagen fibrils is fundamental to the normal morphogenesis of animal
tissues. In this study we have direct evidence that fibroblasts synthesise transient
early fibril intermediates (approximately 1 micrometer in length) that interact
by tip-to-tip fusion to generate long fibrils seen in older tissues. Examination
of early collagen fibrils from tendon showed that two types of early fibrils occur:
unipolar fibrils (with carboxyl (C) and amino (N) ends) and bipolar fibrils (with
two N-ends). End-to-end fusion requires the C-end of a unipolar fibril. Proteoglycans
coated the shafts of the fibrils but not the tips. In the absence of proteoglycans
the fibrils aggregated by side-to-side interactions. Therefore, proteoglycans
promote tip-to-tip fusion and inhibit side-to-side fusion. This distribution of
proteoglycan along the fibril required co-assembly of collagen and proteoglycan
prior to fibril assembly. The study showed that collagen fibrillogenesis is a
hierarchical process that depends on the unique structure of unipolar fibrils
and a novel function of proteoglycans.'

Characteristics of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic among People Aged ≥ 50 Years in China during 2018-2021.
| Objective: This study aimed to determine the current epidemiological status of PLWHA aged ≥ 50 years in China from 2018 to 2021. It also aimed to recommend targeted interventions for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS in elderly patients. Methods: Data on newly reported cases of PLWHA, aged ≥ 50 years in China from 2018 to 2021, were collected using the CRIMS. Trend tests and spatial analyses were also conducted. Results: Between 2018 and 2021, 237,724 HIV/AIDS cases were reported among patients aged ≥ 50 years in China. The main transmission route was heterosexual transmission (91.24%). Commercial heterosexual transmission (CHC) was the primary mode of transmission among males, while non-marital non-CHC ([NMNCHC]; 60.59%) was the prevalent route in women. The proportion of patients with CHC decreased over time ( Z = 67.716, P < 0.01), while that of patients with NMNCHC increased ( Z = 153.05, P < 0.01). The sex ratio varied among the different modes of infection, and it peaked a...

| Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: A frequent and difficult-to-detect complication of radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancers.
| This pilot study reveals a higher prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients treated for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with radiotherapy compared to the general population. OSAS indicators such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale seem insufficient in the diagnostic approach to OSAS in this population and systematic screenings should be considered.

| Two new JK silencing alleles identified by single molecule sequencing with 20-Kb long-reads.
| BACKGROUND: The Kidd blood group gene SLC14A1 and JK*02 having c.499A>G, c.588A>G, and c.743C>A (p.Ala248Asp). The two JK alleles identified have not been previously described. Transfection and expression studies indicated that the CHO cells transfected with JK*02 having c.743C>A did not express the Jkb and Jk3 antigens. CONCLUSIONS: We identified new JK silencing alleles and their critical SNVs by single-molecule sequencing and the findings were confirmed by transfection and expression studies.

| BACKGROUND: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography of ERCP-related perforation and conducted a retrospective review. RESULTS: Of the 15 patients, 6 were female and 9 were male, and the mean age was 77.1 years. According to Stapfer's classification, the 15 cases of ERCP-related perforation comprised 3 type I (duodenum), 3 type II (periampullary), 9 type III (distal bile duct or pancreatic duct), and no type IV cases. Fourteen of 15 (92.6%) were diagnosed during ERCP. The main cause of perforation was scope-induced damage, endoscopic sphincterotomy, and instrumentation penetration in type I, II, and III cases, respectively. Four patients with severe abdominal pain and extraluminal fluid collection underwent emergency surgery for repair and drainage. One type III patient with distal bile duct cancer underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy on day 6. Three type III patients with only retroperitoneal gas on computed tomography (CT) performed immediately after ERCP had no symptoms and neede...

| Covariance among premating, post-copulatory and viability fitness components in Drosophila melanogaster and their influence on paternity measurement.
| In polyandrous mating systems, male fitness depends on success in premating, post-copulatory and offspring viability episodes of selection. We tracked male success across all of these episodes simultaneously, using transgenic Drosophila melanogaster with ubiquitously expressed green fluorescent protein (that is GFP) in a series of competitive and noncompetitive matings. This approach permitted us to track paternity-specific viability over all life stages and to distinguish true competitive fertilization success from differential early offspring viability. Relationships between episodes of selection were generally not present when paternity was measured in eggs; however, positive correlations between sperm competitive success and offspring viability became significant when paternity was measured in adult offspring. Additionally, we found a significant male × female interaction on hatching success and a lack of repeatability of offspring viability across a focal male's matings, which may...
