Background: Cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation often result in significant side effects and varied patient outcomes. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising alt...

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a common cause of hospital admission. The association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation and RSV infection is not well studied. Objective: To analyze the hospit...

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy is a medical treatment that uses high doses of ionizing radiation to eliminate cancer cells and shrink tumors. It works by targeting the DNA within the tumor cells restricting their proliferation. Radiotherapy has be...

Background: Posterior urethral valves (PUVs) represent the most common cause of male congenital lower urinary tract obstruction, often responsible for renal dysplasia and chronic renal failure. Despite recent improvements in patients’ outcomes...

Background: Hypercalcemia is a frequently encountered laboratory finding in endocrinology, warranting accurate clinical and laboratory evaluation to identify its cause. While primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancies represent the most common caus...

T cells, as integral components of the adaptive immune system, recognize diverse antigens through unique T cell receptors (TCRs). To achieve this, during T cell maturation, the thymus generates a wide repertoire of TCRs. This is essential for underst...

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a premalignant cervical condition closely linked to persistent high-risk HPV infection, a major risk factor for cervical cancer. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cervicovaginal infect...

Background/Objective: Neurotoxic soluble amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers are key drivers of Alzheimer’s pathology, with evidence suggesting that early targeting of these soluble forms may slow disease progression. Traditional intravenous (IV...

Background and Objectives: Colorectal cancer is a major contributor to global cancer morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment, but postoperative complications can significantly affect patient outcomes. Identify...

Background: Fatigue is a prevalent and complex condition with significant impacts on well-being. Existing fatigue assessments often lack comprehensiveness or practicality for general population studies. Methods: This study validated the REST Question...
