The progesterone receptor (PR) mediates the actions of progesterone in the normal and malignant breast. PR is expressed as two proteins, PR B and PR A, which are expressed in normal progesterone target tissues and in breast cancers. A significant proportion of breast cancers contain, in addition, a smaller PR protein of molecular mass 78 kDa (PR78 kDa). The significance of PR78 kDa expression i...

Luminal breast cancers express estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors, and respond to endocrine therapies. However, some ER+PR+ tumors display intrinsic or acquired resistance, possibly related to PR. Two PR isoforms, PR-A and PR-B, regulate distinct gene subsets that may differentially influence tumor fate. A high PR-A:PR-B ratio is associated with poor prognosis and tamoxifen resistanc...

Dear Editor-in-Chief   Lesional histopathological features in pityriasis rosea (PR) are non-specific (1).  Our aim here is to investigate whether a histopathological take-off sign (TOS) is associated with PR.

reconfiguration (PR) enhances traditional FPGA-based high-performance reconfigurable computing by providing additional benefits such as reduced area and memory requirements, increased performance, and increased functionality. However, since leveraging these additional benefits requires specific designer expertise, which increases design time, PR has not yet gained widespread usage. Even though ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and fluctuation of autonomic tone is more prominent in patients with AF. As autonomic tone affects the heart rate (HR), and there is an inverse relationship between HR and PR interval, PR interval variation could be greater in patients with AF than in those without AF. The purpose of this study was to investigate th...
