Cleveland Clinic developed a predictive model to identify patients at risk of developing gastric (stomach) cancer who may benefit from stomach cancer screening. The model is designed to identify who might need regular upper endoscopies to sceen for stomach cancer. Although U.S. patients get routinely screened for other diseases, endoscopies – where a patient needs anesthesia – are more invasive. 

This study aimed to analyze the effects of baicalin (BC) and geniposide (GP) in combination (7:3) on the activation of microglia (MG) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) expression in rats during the recovery period after cerebral ischemia and to determine whether inhibition of the 5-LOX pathway is beneficial for M1-to-M2 polarization of MG.

A large multistate study, conducted by the CDC’s VISION Network, has found that COVID-19 vaccination given during pregnancy offered 52 percent protection, cutting risk of a COVID-19-associated emergency department or urgent care visit in half. This is especially significant because there is an increased risk of severe COVID-19 during pregnancy requiring hospitalization and potentially causing adverse pregnancy outcomes.

To explore the main action targets and key pathways, along with their mechanisms of action, of Panax ginseng’s special ingredients in the treatment of ulcerative colitis using network pharmacology methods. To provide a theoretical basis for subsequent laboratory experiments and clinical trials.

In flux pumps, motors and superconducting magnets, the high temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductor frequently carries a DC transport current when an oscillating magnetic field is present in the background. Under this circumstance, the interesting effect of dynamic resistance takes place, which can affect the operating performance of superconducting devices: heat accumulation can contribute to the rising temperature of the HTS tape and the dynamic resistance voltage can change accordingly. This article explores the time-dependent development of the dynamic resistance voltage using a numerical modeling considering the thermal effects. After a validation against experimental results, this work investigates the effects of several factors on the structure of the HTS tape on the time-dependent development of the dynamic resistance, thus providing insights toward a better understanding of the time-dependent behavior of HTS tapes under external magnetic fields.

A research team introduces phenomic selection (PS) as a low-cost, high-throughput alternative to genomic selection (GS) in hybrid rapeseed breeding.
