Semaphorin-3F/Neuropilin-2 Transcriptional Expression as a Predictive Biomarker of Occult Lymph Node Metastases in HNSCC.
The expression of the semaphorin-3F (SEMA3F) and neuropilin-2 (NRP2) is involved in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis. The present study analyzes the relationship between the transcriptional expression of the SEMA3F-NRP2 ...
Prevalence of Psychoactive Substance Use During Pregnancy in Argentine Women: A Pilot Study Testing Maternal Hair
The use of psychoactive substances (PSs) during pregnancy is a major public health concern because of their increasing prevalence worldwide. This study examined the understudied issue of gestational PS consumption in a ...
Dlk1 expression relates to visceral fat expansion and insulin resistance in male and female rats with postnatal catch-up growth
Background: Although prenatal and postnatal programming of metabolic diseases in adulthood is well established, the mechanims underpinning metabolic programming are not. DLK1, a key regulator of fetal development, inhibits ...
Searching for the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective potential of natural food and nutritional supplements for ocular health in the mediterranean population.
Adherence to a healthy diet offers a valuable intervention to compete against the increasing cases of ocular diseases worldwide, such as dry eye disorders, myopia progression, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or ...

Effects of Orientation and Anisometry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Acquisitions on Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Structural Connectomes
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) quantifies water molecule diffusion within tissues and is becoming an increasingly used technique. However, it is very challenging as correct quantification depends on many different factors, ...
Idiopathic dilatation of the right atrium. Report of four fetal cases
Introduction: Idiopathic dilatation of the right atrium (IDRA) is a rare anomaly defined as isolated enlargement of the right atrium in the absence of other cardiac lesions or predisposing conditions to cause right atrial ...
Development of the autoinflammatory disease damage index (ADDI).
Objectives Autoinflammatory diseases cause systemic inflammation that can result in damage to multiple organs. A validated instrument is essential to quantify damage in individual patients and to compare disease outcomes ...
International consensus for a dissection room quality system (DRQS): A Delphi panel study.
Dissection Rooms (DRs) are key facilities that allow teaching and research on human anatomy, where students and researchers work with human bodies to acquire, increase, or create new knowledge. Usually, DRs work with a ...
Peripheral blood metabolic and inflammatory factors as biomarkers to ocular findings in diabetic macular edema.
AIMS: To study the association between peripheral blood metabolic and inflammatory factors and presence of diabetic macular edema (DME) and its related anatomic features in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients. MATERIAL ...

Diaphragmatic excursion studied by M-Mode ultrasonography in singers. A preliminary study
Ultrasound scan is an image instrument that allows the assessment of diaphragmatic function and it does not have any side effects for patients. We have not found any literature about the use of M-mode ultrasonography to ...
Discovering genes and microRNAs involved in human lung development unveils IGFBP3/miR-34a dynamics and their relevance for alveolar differentiation
Background: During pseudoglandular stage of the human lung development the primitive bronchial buds are initially conformed by simple tubules lined by endoderm-derived epithelium surrounded by mesenchyme, which will ...
Screening for Prognostic microRNAs Associated with Treatment Failure in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment with R-CHOP regimen produces 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival of around 60-70%. Our objective was to discover prognostic biomarkers allowing early detection ...
Golimumab as rescue therapy for refractory immune-mediated uveitis: a three-center experience
Objective. To evaluate, in three Spanish tertiary referral centres, the short-term safety and efficacy of golimumab (GLM) for treatment of immune-mediated uveitis resistant to previous immunosuppressive therapy. Methods. ...
The predictive value of the cervical consistency index to predict spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic twin pregnancies at the second-trimester ultrasound scan: A prospective cohort study
Novel transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) markers have been proposed to improve spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) prediction. Preliminary results of the cervical consistency index (CCI), uterocervical angle (UCA), and cervical ...
Cryostat slice irregularities may introduce bias in tissue thickness estimation: relevance for cell counting methods
Stereological techniques using the optical disectors require estimation of final section thickness, but frozen tissue irregularities may interfere with this estimation. Cryostat slices from rodent nerve tissues (dorsal ...
