The most common among dementias is Alzheimer's disease (AD). At the beginning it is controllable by medications but, as the disease advances, the patient needs a 24-hour care and very often one family member has to devote him/herself to the permanent care of the ill. AD dictates both patient's and family member's lives…

PURPOSE: To assess radiology researchers' perceptions of whether, and to what extent, the political context during the current Trump administration (2025-present) affected their research activities, collaborations, work environment, motivation, mobility, and overall research progress. METHODS: Corresponding authors wh…

The tumor formation may be the earliest manifestation preceeding other symptoms, signs and bone marrow evidence of systemic malignancy - leukemia/lymphoma. Here we present three cases of systemic malignancy in which bone lesions were the first manifested signs of the disease. All three cases were thought to be orthoped…

The availability of Internet-enabled computers in the operating room (OR) facilitates unparalleled physician access to current peer reviewed research, either in abstract or full text format, a development that provides physicians with an exciting opportunity to incorporate such findings into clinical practice at the po…

Librarians at the National Library of Medicine tag each biomedical abstract to be indexed by their Pubmed information system with terms from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terminology. The MeSH terminology has over 26,000 terms and indexers look at each article's full text to assign a set of most suitable terms fo…

It is now obvious that the rate-limiting step in high throughput experimentation is neither data acquisition nor analysis, but rather our ability to interpret data on a genome-wide scale. Indeed, the explosion of data sampling capacity combined with increasing publication rates greatly impairs our ability to find meani…

Sclerosing adenosis is a benign breast disease with non-specific images on ultrasound or mammogram. It can mimic infiltrating carcinoma when the above mentioned imaging techniques are used. Herein we present a patient with breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequently underwent mastectomy. Ductos…

Discovery of essential genes in pathogenic organisms is an important step in the development of new medication. Despite a growing number of genome data available, little is known about C. albicans, a major fungal pathogen. Most of the human population carries C. albicans as commensal, but it can cause systemic infectio…

This article brings the biomechanical analysis of sport--Nordic walking--for patients with osteoporotic fractured vertebrae and shows that it is suitable for them. Based on the biomechanical model of skeletal load we have developed a method of walking movement for patients, different from the method of walking movement…

Biomarker-guided oncology trials frequently prioritize surrogate endpoints to enable efficient development in molecularly defined populations, often before mature overall survival (OS) data are available. We conducted a PRISMA 2020-guided systematic review of prospective interventional biomarker-guided oncology trials…

BACKGROUND: Oral hygiene is of paramount importance for the preservation of oral health, and for patients affected by periodontal disease establishing an effective oral hygiene routine is the first step of therapy. Several clinical frameworks have been developed to foster behavior change, such as motivational interview…

Cystic dilatation is a rare disease of extra- or intra-hepatic bile ducts. According to the literature it is an disorder accompanying other diseases rather than an independent diagnosis. In the case of smaller dimensions it is often found by coincidence because of its asymptomatic course of development. Mostly it manif…

Often, the accessory renal arteries are observed near the hilum. Presence of anomalous accessory renal arteries may be associated with other underlying renal pathological conditions. We detected anomalous pattern of the renal arteries, in a 51 year old male cadaver, during routine undergraduate teaching program, in the…

BACKGROUND: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) belong to most frequently used drugs worldwide. NSAIDs belong to the family of drugs that represent the biggest drug risk as to the number of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), as well as to the number of deregistered drugs. METHODS: We analysed the whole consumpt…

BACKGROUND: Biological data have traditionally been stored and made publicly available through a variety of on-line databases, whereas biological knowledge has traditionally been found in the printed literature. With journals now on-line and providing an increasing amount of open access content, often free of copyright…

High Impedance Surfaces (HIS) have recently shown the ability to support leaky waves, and to excite plasmonic and HIS resonance frequency modes for use as an antenna. In this paper, we analyzed, designed, and fabricated a true metasurface antenna (TMA) by directly feeding edge-located HIS cells through a microstrip fee…

Individual processive molecular motors, of which conventional kinesin is the most studied quantitatively, move along polar molecular tracks and, by exerting a force F = (F(x),F(y),F(z)) on a tether, drag cellular cargoes, in vivo, or spherical beads, in vitro, taking up to hundreds of nanometre-scale steps. From observ…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the utility of fine needle aspiration--FNA and cytologic analysis of impalpable complicated breast cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We rewieved the imaging findings, aspiration, cytology and biopsy results and followup imaging findings of 246 complicated cysts in 166 wo…

Despite the fact that replantation of the thumb is at present a common procedure, occasionally due to the different reasons replantation is unsuccessful. We present a case where we have to cope with complete thenar loss and following reconstruction was done in an unusual way. Primarily we have covered the thenar defect…

Text4baby (T4b), a free nation-wide mobile health information service, delivers health-related text messages (SMS) to pregnant women. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) specific SMS to improve PA in pregnant women (vs standard T4b) and the most effective dose/timing…
