OBJECTIVE Our aim was to examine underserved women's perceptions on mobile versus fixed mammography in Santa Clara, California through a focus group study. BACKGROUND  Research has shown that medically underserved women have higher breast cancer mortality rates correlated with under-screening and a disproportional rate of late-stage diagnosis. The Community Health Partnership in Santa Clara C...

Abstract Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the upper and lower motor neurons. The onset of frequently focal, usually involving distal segments extremities. A dissociated pattern muscle atrophy commonly found in hands feet. This study aims to investigate presence (if any) split indices ALS patients correlate these with confounding factors. tota...

Abstract Background Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an adverse reaction caused by the intake of drugs common use that produces damage. The impact DILI estimated to affect around 20 in 100,000 inhabitants worldwide each year. Despite being one main causes failure, pathophysiology and mechanisms are poorly understood. In present study, we developed ensemble learning approach based on differen...

In the connectivity map (CMap) approach to drug repositioning and development, transcriptional signature of disease is constructed by differential gene expression analysis between diseased tissue or cells control. The negative correlation drug, a bioactive compound, assumed indicate its ability “reverse” process. A major limitation traditional CMaP use signatures derived from bulk tissues. Sinc...

A 62 year old male hypertensive patient with known diabetes mellitus and diVuse arteriopathy was admitted for cardiac failure. On hospital day 2, septic shock due to an unidentified micro-organism, encephalopathy, and flaccid paraplegia developed. On day 4, dry gangrene of all toes and progressive coma appeared. He died on hospital day 22 of multiorgan failure. Nerve conduction studies carried ...

Abstract Background The homeobox gene Homeobox B7 (HOXB7) is overexpressed across a range of cancers and promotes tumorigenesis through varying effects on proliferation, survival, migration invasion. However, its expression pattern oncogenic role HOXB7 in head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain largely unexplored. Here, we aimed to explore the HOXB7, clinical significance as well funct...

BACKGROUND The appropriate elbow position of short-segment nerve conduction study (SSNCS) to diagnose cubital tunnel syndrome (CubTS) is still controversial. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of different elbow positions at full extension and 70° flexion on SSNCS in CubTS. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the clinical data of seventy elbows from 59 CubTS patients betwee...
