IDENTIFICATION OF GENES FROM TEN ONCOGENIC PATHWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH MORTALITY AND DISEASE PROGRESSION IN GLIOBLASTOMA

Identification of genes from ten oncogenic pathways associated with mortality and disease progression in glioblastoma

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor with an extremely poor prognosis.The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database has been used to confirm the roles played by 10 canonical oncogenic signaling pathways in various cancers.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the expression of genes in these 10 canonical oncogenic signaling

Effect of the Location of Strut Chordae Insertion on Computational Modeling and Biomechanical Evaluation of Mitral Valve Dynamics

The strut chordae (SC) have a unique structure and play an important role in reinforcing the tunnel-shaped configuration of the mitral valve (MV) Nylon straps at the inflow and outflow tracts.We investigated the effect of varying the SC insertion location on normal MV function and dynamics to better understand the complex MV structures.A virtual pa

Chronic Pruritus in Atopic Patients Treated with Dupilumab: Real Life Response and Related Parameters in 354 Patients

Chronic pruritus is a major symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD).Its etiopathogenesis is complex, and an understanding of the driving factors of its pathogenesis allows for the development of new molecule-targeted therapies.Dupilumab, targeting and blocking interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) molecules, has shown great efficacy in treating
