Rare Genetic Variants Can Contribute to Ischemic Heart Failure

Heart failure affects about 40 million people globally, and most cases are due to ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathies have been traced to rare variants in genes that encode sarcomere or cytoskeletal proteins, channels, or desmosomes, while genome-wide association studies have underscored common variants linked to heart failure.

Distinct Mutation Patterns Identified in Appendiceal Cancer

The incidence of appendiceal cancer (AC) is rising, particularly among individuals younger than 50 years (early-onset AC), with unexplained etiologies. The unique spectrum of somatic cancer gene variations among patients with early-onset AC is largely undetermined. More...

Circulating Tumor Cell Dynamics Predicts Cancer Prognosis

Metastatic breast cancer, also called stage IV breast cancer, means the cancer has traveled through the bloodstream to create tumors in the liver, lungs, brain, bones and/or other parts of the body. Approximately 20% to 30% of women with early stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic disease. More...

Flow Cytometry Employed in Diagnosing Male Urethritis

According to the established guidelines, diagnosis of non-gonococcal urethritis should be confirmed by demonstrating polymorphonuclear leukocytes from the anterior urethra using a Gram-stained (GSS) or methylene blue-stained urethral smear. More...

Gene Expression Signature Traces Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Progression

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition marked by the accumulation of triglycerides and other lipids in the liver and is associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. More...

Triple FIT Surpasses Single Sigmoidoscopy in CRC Screening

Colorectal cancer (CRC) almost always develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or rectum. Screening tests can find precancerous polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best. More...

HDL-Cholesterol Predicts Survival in Cirrhotic Patients with Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Liver cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality as a consequence of continuous liver injuries. Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is a serious complication and critical clinical event in cirrhotic patients. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of liver cirrhosis in China. More...
