To carry out prenatal diagnosis for a fetus with increased nuchal translucency (NT) and another fetus with non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) suggested reduced sex chromosomes by cytogenetic and molecular techniques.

Chromosomal karyotyping, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)…[Read more]

Dementia syndrome is common and expected to increase significantly among older people and characterized by the loss of cognitive, psychological and physical functions. Palliative care is applicable for people with dementia, however they are less likely to have access to palliative care. This narrative review summarizes specifics of palliative care…[Read more]

Nanomedicine will revolutionize future cancer treatment options and our ultimate goal should be to develop treatments that have minimum side effects, for improving the quality of life of all cancer patients.Tumor immune infiltrates are associated with tumor prognosis in many cancer types. However, their capacity to predict the efficacy of…[Read more]

Experiments have been carried out varying the percentage of failed sensors. Results show a good level of prediction accuracy which, as expected, decreases as the failure rate increases. Results also point out a failure rate threshold below which is better to make use of memory-based approaches, and above which is better to choose model-based…[Read more]

Pancreatic cancer is a disease associated with a poor overall survival. Advances in surgical techniques have helped improve outcomes of patients who are amenable to surgical resection. Sadly, surgery is amenable in only a small percentage of patients with the disease. Thus, there is a need to direct efforts at reducing the overall risk of…[Read more]

The present study aimed to evaluate surgical treatments, complications and neurological outcomes of patients with cavernous malformations (CMs) in the pons and medulla oblongata.

We retrospectively evaluated 25 brain stem CMs that we operated between 2009 and 2019. GSK2578215A We operated all cases in the first month with suboxypital…[Read more]

In addition to hypoxia, oxidative stress and inflammation due to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning cause adverse health effects. These mechanisms are related to the occurrence of autoimmune connective tissue disease, but studies on the association between CO poisoning and autoimmune connective tissue disease are limited. We conducted a study to…[Read more]

Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a gold standard polymer with excellent transfection efficacy, yet its severe toxicity and nondegradability hinders its therapeutic application as a gene delivery vector. To tackle this problem, herein we incorporated the biodegradable polylactide (PLA) into the branched PEI by synthesizing a PEI-PLA copolymer via a facile…[Read more]
