84) and 86.7% (Kappa = 0.73), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ACR-TIRADS and EU-TIRADS were 0.871 and 0.828, respectively (p < 0.001). The EU-TIRADS had the best SEN and NPV, whereas the ACR-TIRADS had the best SPE, PPV, and ACC. Only 33.4% of the nodules followed the FNA size criteria suggested by the ACR-TIRADS.…[Read more]

Datenschutzkautelen betriebenes Linkage gelingen kann und aufgrund der Verfügbarkeit relevanter Informationen aus Abrechnungsdaten eine empirische Bereicherung insbesondere für gesundheitsökonomische Analysen darstellt. Dies sollte als Anregung verstanden werden, in Evaluationsstudien Datenlinkage-Prozeduren in Zukunft in verstärktem Maße einz…[Read more]

A significant correlation was found between the TSF concentrations in the toothpastes and the variables TR (r = 0.850; p = 0.0001) and AUC (r = 0.445; p = 0.004). For TF no significant correlation was found for TR (r = -0.099; p = 0.542) and AUC (r = -0.018; p = 0.912). The findings suggest that TSF concentration chemically found in…[Read more]

This review aims to present literature data on the action of the CCL2-CCR2 axis in the central nervous system under physiological and pathological conditions, as well as the contribution of this ligand-receptor system to the processes underlying affective disorders. Additionally, this article draws attention to the importance of the CCL2-CRR2…[Read more]

Transcription factors (TFs) represent a major class of therapeutic targets for the treatment of human diseases including cancer. Although the biological functions and even crystal structures of many TFs have been clearly elucidated, there is still no viable approach to target the majority of TFs, thus rendering them undruggable for decades.…[Read more]

l-arginine infused hearts revealed depressed inotropy and chronotropy, weak systolic and diastolic functions with compromised myocardial flow at early 5min of re-perfusion, yet with significantly higher myocardial flow rate by the end of re-perfusion.

Reducing NO availability by l-NAME revealed mild impact on the ischemia re-perfusion…[Read more]
