Important variables associated with VSO rates were % renter occupied housing and % Hispanic population. There were several spatial clusters of significantly elevated risk for TROs and VSOs in western and eastern Virginia.Sarcopenia among the older population has been growing over the last few years. In addition, the incidence of cancers increases…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) began its journey around the world. Medical students, as frontline healthcare workers, are more susceptible to be infected by the virus. The aim of this study was to assess COVID-19 related knowledge, self-reported preventive behaviors and risk perception among Iranian medical…[Read more]

Heterozygous mutations of the GBA1 gene, encoding for lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase), occur in a considerable percentage of all patients with sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD), varying between 8% and 12% across the world. Genome wide association studies have confirmed the strong correlation between PD and GBA1 mutations, pointing to…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and genetic investigations into the human lipidome may provide insight into CVD risk.  The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of circulating lipid species and their genetic correlation with CVD traits.  Methods Targeted lipidomic profiling was…[Read more]

Almost spherical benznidazole microparticles with a smooth surface and size around 10-30 μm were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction studies suggested a partial reduction of drug crystallinity. Moreover, the relative oral bioavailability of the novel benznidazole microparticles showed that the area…[Read more]

BACKGROUND The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (eoCRC) has been reported to increase, and patients with eoCRC seem to be diagnosed at more advanced stages compared to elderly patients. The aim of this study was to describe patient and disease characteristics, symptomatology and the incidence of eoCRC in a national cohort. MATERIALS AND…[Read more]
