Potential usage of recently developed drugs that suppress the SASP (senomorphics) or selectively kill senescence cells (senolytics) in cancer therapy are also discussed.Current meta‐analysis suggests that outcomes with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) do not significantly differ compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) after transcatheter a…[Read more]

Objective This study sought to analyze the gene expression of Candida albicans in sound root surface and root caries lesions, exploring its role in root caries pathogenesis. Methodology The differential gene expression of C. albicans and the specific genes related to cariogenic traits were studied in association with samples of biofilm collected…[Read more]

There is a growing demand for biomaterials developing with novel properties for biomedical applications hence, hydrogels with 3D crosslinked polymeric structures obtained from natural polymers have been deeply inspected in this field. Pectin a unique biopolymer found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables is extensively used in the…[Read more]

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a common systemic vasculitis affecting children. It is managed in the outpatient setting and rarely associated with malignancy.

0 (27.0-49.0) versus 18.5 (13.5-31.5), p < 0.001]. ROC curve analysis revealed good performance of P selectin [AUC (95% CI) 0.72 (0.64-0.81)] and IL-6 [AUC (95% CI) 0.79 (0.71-0.86)] in identification of DVT. Logistic regression analysis identified the presence of severe disease [OR (95% CI) 9.016 (3.61-22.49), p < 0.001], elevated P selectin [OR…[Read more]
