Internal and external validation confirmed AUCs ≥0.90. The combination of the 3-stick model determined poor smell, and an RBD screening questionnaire score of ≥5 separated those with iRBD from controls with a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of 65%, 100%, 100%, and 30%.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play vital roles in various types of cancer and chemosentivity. In the progression of carcinogenesis, exosomes are messengers for intercellular communication. The aim of this study was to explore the role of exosomal circRNA phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 alpha (circ_PIP5K1A) in non-small cell lung cancer…[Read more]

Livestock is a major producer of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in South Africa. Cattle methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation is the main source of the emissions. However, due to shortage of information to guide agricultural mitigation plans in the country, the main objective of this study is to investigate causal factors of the emissions…[Read more]

While it is essential that Periodic Tables display important trends in element chemistry we need to keep our eyes open for unexpected chemical behavior in ambient, near ambient, or unusual conditions. The combination of experimental data and theoretical insight supports a more nuanced understanding of complex periodic trends and non-periodic…[Read more]
