Early and accurate diagnosis of Gaucher disease, a rare, autosomal recessive condition characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and anemia, is essential to facilitate earlier decision-making and prevent unnecessary tests and procedures....
Depression is a prevalent and debilitating disease worldwide. This pathology is very complex and the lack of efficient therapeutic modalities, as well as the high rates of relapse, makes the study and treatment of depression a global healthcare chall...
Osteoarthritis leads to the progressive decay of articular cartilage. Due to its intrinsic avascular character, cartilage shows an inadequate capacity for regeneration. Cartilage loss may result in chronic pain, movement disorder and morbidity, which...
Background: Sepsis caused by multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli lead physicians to prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, such as carbapenems. Rapid susceptibility testing can help with the rational use of antibiotics. The aim of this s...
Despite significant advances in the understanding of cancer biology, cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. Expression of the tumor microenvironment component, osteopontin, in tumor tissues, plasma, and serum, has been shown to be associ...
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nitric oxide (NO) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) affect vascular tone and are vasoprotective. Furthermore, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an HO-1 inducer, is kn...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of the world’s population. Uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), p-Cresylsulfate (PCS) and indole acetic acid (IAA), are not sufficiently removed by conventional hemodialysis (HD) and have been as...
Oral antiseptic mouthwashes have been widely used for their antibacterial activity. As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the antiviral properties of these oral antiseptics have been aggressively studied. To demonstrate the direct antiviral activit...
The human immune system is compromised in microgravity (MG) conditions during an orbital flight and upon return to Earth. T cells are critical for the immune response and execute their functions via actin-mediated immune cell-cell interactions that c...
The world is currently faced with a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Several genome-wide and exome-wide studies (GWAS and EWAS) have been performed to identify the variability in the host genetic constitution that likely underlines th...
This study evaluated the factors that affect the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive patients, who had received curative treatment for initial HCC, using decision tree analysis in 111 curative cases. The e...
Rats impress by their high platelet count resulting in hypercoagulability, which protects the animals from severe bleeding. However, platelets also import numerous stiff junction points into the fibrous system of a clot, also enhancing the pre-stress...
In the past decade, mRNA vaccines have been highly discussed as a promising therapy for cancer. With the pandemic of COVID-19, some researchers redirected their studies to the development of a new vaccine for COVID-19 due to the urgent need. With the...
This paper provides a comprehensive summary of evidence to explore and position the role of serology testing in the context of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) immunization and policy response in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The document builds o...
