Objective Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a common affliction that contributes to laryngeal inflammation, symptoms that impact quality of life, and life‐threatening illnesses such as cancer. Effective treatment strategies for LPR are lacking. Pepsin is a proinflammatory and carcinogenic element of refluxate. Investigation of molecular pathways involved in pepsin‐mediated damage may lead to identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for LPR. In this study, RNA sequencing was used...

Background The incidence of primary liver cancer (PLC) continues to increase worldwide. The incidence trends and patterns of PLC associated with different age at diagnosis remain unknown. Methods We collected detailed information on PLC between 1990 and 2017 from Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. Estimated annual percentage changes in the PLC age‐standardized incidence rate (ASR) diagnosed by age, sex, region, and etiology were calculated to quantify the temporal trends in PLC ASR....

Background: Effective treatment and close monitoring in children with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) are important to prevent hypoglycemic-associated brain damage. The current monitoring approach involves measuring plasma glucose intermittently, but this does not provide a comprehensive assessment of glycemic control and may fail to detect episodes of hypoglycemia. Objective: To determine whether Dexcom G5®, a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), is an accurate and effective method for monitoring...

Introduction: Neonatal hypoglycemia due to congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a potentially life-threatening condition. Biallelic pathogenic variants in KATP channel subunit genes (ABCC8, KCNJ11), causing severe forms of CHI, are more prevalent in regions with a significant rate of consanguinity and may lead to unexplained neonatal deaths. We hypothesized that KATP channel gene variants are the cause of CHI in three unrelated children from consanguineous Kurdish families with histories of four unexplained...

Abstract Narrow-band imaging (NBI) laryngoscopy is an optical-biopsy technique used for screening and diagnosing cancer of the laryngeal tract, reducing the biopsy risks but at the cost of some drawbacks, such as large amount of data to review to make the diagnosis. The purpose of this paper is to develop a deep-learning-based strategy for the automatic selection of informative laryngoscopic-video frames, reducing the amount of data to process for diagnosis. The strategy leans...

Φαίνεται ότι όπως όλοι οι κορονοϊοί έτσι και ο SARS-COV-2 προσβάλλει το γαστρεντερικό σύστημα, ακόμη και σε ανθρώπους που ξεκινάνε με λοίμωξη του αναπνευστικού. Ο SARS-COV-2 απομονώνεται από τα κόπρανα για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα και συνιστάται να υπάρχει μια προσεκτική χρήση των κανόνων υγιεινής μετά την τουαλέτα. Το 30% των ασθενών έχει τον κορονοϊό στα κόπρανα. Είναι γνωστό ότι η λοίμωξη του γαστρεντερικού μπορεί να υπάρχει στους κορονοϊούς και να είναι ένα σύμπτωμα, ίσως και από τα πρώτα,...

Το 60% των ασθενών που πάσχουν σοβαρά από τον κορωνοϊό SARS-COV-2 είναι παχύσαρκοι και το 37% είναι ηλικίας κάτω των 60 ετών, σύμφωνα με βρετανικά στοιχεία που περιέλαβαν 194 ασθενείς στις Μονάδες Εντατικής Θεραπείας (ΜΕΘ). Η έκθεση διαπίστωσε ότι οι περισσότεροι ασθενείς με κορωνοϊό στην εντατική μονάδα θεραπείας ήταν άνδρες (το 71% των περιπτώσεων) και μόνο 18 ασθενείς (9%) είχαν «σοβαρές συν-νοσηρότητες», όπως υποκείμενες καρδιακές παθήσεις ή ασθένειες των πνευμόνων. Δύο ασθενείς ήταν έγκυες...

Ένα ερώτημα είναι πώς η άσκηση μπορεί να επηρεάσει το ανοσοποιητικό μας σύστημα και κατ’ επέκταση την άμυνά μας απέναντι στις ιώσεις και συγκεκριμένα στον κορωνοϊό SARS-COV-2. Δεν υπάρχει ευθεία απάντηση σ’ αυτό το ερώτημα, μόνο έμμεση σύμφωνα με αυτά που ξέρουμε για άλλες λοιμώξεις όπως είναι η γρίπη. Είναι ωστόσο πιθανό να ισχύουν τα ίδια και για τον κορωνοϊό ο οποίος ονομάζεται έτσι επειδή το κέλυφός του περιβάλλεται από μικρές αιχμές πρωτεΐνης. Αυτές οι αιχμές είναι που προκαλούν τον όλεθρο...

Η απώλεια όσφρησης (ανοσμία) μπορεί να είναι το πρώτο σημάδι σε ασυμπτωματικούς ασθενείς που έχουν τον κορωνοϊό SARS-COV-2. Οι νεαρότεροι ασθενείς λόγω κορωνοϊού μπορεί να επιδείξουν μόνο απώλεια οσμής ή γεύσης, χωρίς να εμφανίσουν τα πιο συχνά αναγνωρισμένα συμπτώματα όπως είναι ο υψηλός πυρετός και ο επίμονος βήχας. Σε αυτή την πολύ σημαντική ανακοίνωση, προχώρησε προχθές η Βρετανική Εταιρεία Ωτορινολαρυγγολογίας, μετά από αναφορές και παρατηρήσεις ασυμπτωματικών ασθενών σε πέντε χώρες που...

Επίσης να ενταθεί η προσπάθεια για να εξασφαλιστούν όσο το δυνατόν περισσότεροι αναπνευστήρες που θα παίξουν καθοριστικό ρόλο στη διάσωση των ασθενών.

Introduction Tetra-hydro-cannabinoids (THC) can modulate the coagulation cascade resulting in hypercoagulability. However, the clinical relevance of these findings has not been investigated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of pre-injury marijuana exposure on thromboembolic complications in trauma patients. Methods We performed a 2-year (2015-2016) analysis of ACS-TQIP database and included all adult (≥18y) trauma patients. Patients were stratified based on pre-injury...

Abstract Insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins produced by genetically modified rice that enter the soil via pollen dispersal, plant residues, and root exudation may disturb soil health. In the present study, we assessed the influences of transgenic Bt rice (i.e., HH1 with Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac) cultivation on the dynamics of soil carbon and nutrients under field conditions during 2013–2016. Transgenic treatments (transgenic Bt rice vs. its parental line (i.e., MH63) of non-Bt rice) have...

Abstract The study investigates the effect of cadmium (Cd), salinity (NaCl), and combined stress on rhizosphere pH, growth parameters, membrane leakage, and genotoxicity in Vicia faba. Germinated seeds were exposed for 48 h to 0.01 mM Cd(NO3)2 (Cd), 50 mM NaCl (S50), 150 mM NaCl (S150), and Cd-NaCl (CdS50 and CdS150). An accumulation of Cd and Na was found essentially in Vicia roots under each single stress factor associated with variations in rhizosphere pH. Additional NaCl in...

Abstract In this study, 2 (3), 9 (10), 16 (17), 23 (24)-tetrakis-(8-quinoline-oxy) phthalocyanine zinc(II) (ZnQPc) was prepared and then quaternized to obtain water soluble zinc phthalocyanine (ZnQPc4+). Then, ZnQPc4+ was used as a photosensitizer for a series of POM catalysts, including Dawson type K6[α-P2W18O62]·14H2O (P2W18) and K10[α-P2W17O61]·20H2O (P2W17) and Keggine type H3PW12O40·xH2O (PW12). The Keggin type PW12 showed higher efficiency with 18.2 μmol of H2 evolution (turnover...

Abstract Benzimidazoles are anthelmintics frequently used in sheep farming due to the high susceptibility of these animals to parasitic diseases. Sheep excreta are often disposed onto soils as a fertilizer, and they may contain benzimidazole residues that can contaminate soil and water. This work aimed to assess the leaching behavior of benzimidazole drugs (albendazole, fenbendazole, and thiabendazole) and their metabolites in two Brazilian soils of different textural classifications...

Abstract The important role of oxygen-containing groups of porous carbonaceous materials (PCMs) on sorption of organic compounds has been realized, but whether these groups can generate different joint effects, especially when oxidized PCMs with different pore sizes are complexed with heavy metals (Cu2+), remains ambiguous. The present study aimed to determine how pore sizes, metal ions, and oxygen-containing groups as a function affect the sorption of naphthalene and 2-naphthol...

Abstract N-doped biochar as adsorption material for heavy metal removal has attracted increasing concern in environmental application due to its unique features. Here, N-doped biochar was prepared by hydrothermal carbonization of Camellia sinensis branch waste using KOH/NH4Cl at 120–280 °C for 2 h under 0.4–6.5 MPa, followed by structural analysis. The results showed that the highest N content determined by elemental analysis could reach up to 6.18% in biochar, and the major N...
