Background: Accurate estimation of the pre-colonization interval (pre-CI), defined as the period between body deposition and initial insect oviposition, remains a challenge in postmortem interval estimation in forensic entomology. This study quantifi...
Estimating the minimum post-mortem interval (PMI-min) is crucial in criminal investigations for identifying victims and the circumstances surrounding their death. Traditional post-mortem indicators are reliable only within the first 48–72 h pos...
Per rectum examination (PRE) is commonly used in the triage of horses with acute abdominal pain, despite reports of associated risk factors for both horses and personnel, but its diagnostic accuracy is questionable. This multicenter, observational st...
Thirty percent of colon cancer diagnoses occur following emergency presentations, often with bowel obstruction or perforation requiring urgent surgery. We sought to compare cancer care quality between patients receiving emergency versus elective surg...
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as non-invasive biomarkers that may be associated with cancer risk, but their role in the development of colon cancer is still not well understood. We conducted a nested case-control study within the EPIC-I...
Background and objectives: When resecting colon adenocarcinoma, surgeons decide between the use of laparoscopically assisted and open surgery. Laparoscopic resection is known to have short-term benefits over an open operation. However, researchers ar...
The progress in the discovery and validation of metabolite biomarkers for the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been hampered by the lack of reproducibility between study cohorts. The majority of discovery-phase biomarker studies have used pat...
Plantago lanceolata L. (buckhorn plantain) is an encroaching winter weed described as one of the most successful noncultivated colonizing species around the world. Control of P. lanceolata in southeastern USA Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch pr...
The bovine genital tract harbors a dynamic microbiome. Genital tract microbial communities in healthy animals have been characterized using next-generation sequencing methods showing that microbe compositions differ between the vagina and uterus, mor...
Plant sterols (PSs) have reported benefits in alleviating colitis in mice, but the mechanisms involved require further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a dietary supplement containing PSs (PS-DS) on inflammation biomarkers in...
Capecitabine (CAP) is one of the most commonly prescribed fluoropyrimidines in oncology, especially in the treatment of colon cancer. Cardiac toxicity is a severe and potentially lethal adverse drug reaction (ADR) against fluoropyrimidines. Cardiac A...
To evaluate the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) after cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones (GBS). Methods: This nationwide population-based cohort study analyzed the inpatient data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The st...
Background/Objectives: Background: The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified arsenic as a group 1 carcinogen of the lung, skin and bladder. Arsenic has been implicated in the pathogenesis of breast, prostate, and colorectal cance...
Objective: Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), also known as Ogilvie syndrome, is a rare but serious complication following cesarean section (CS). Identifying factors associated with its occurrence is critical for early recognition and preventio...
