BACKGROUND Despite radical surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment of ovarian cancer, the majority of patients develop recurrence and die due to progressive disease. Routine measurement of the tumor marker CA-125 is often used in the follow-up management. However, the role of preoperative CA-125 as a prognostic factor before secondary cytoreduction of relapsed ovarian cancer has not been determ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The MELDNa score was developed to improve the prognostic value of the MELD score in cirrhosis and was built for serum sodium concentrations numerically capped between 125 and 140 mmol/L. This model is not validated in a well-defined population of patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites in whom severe hyponatremia (≤ 125 mmol/L) is frequent. This study assessed the progn...

Methods Framingham offspring participants free of CVD, categorized by the 1997 ADA IFG definition (fasting plasma glucose 110 to 125 mg/dl; 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/l) or the 2003 definition (100 to 125 mg/dl; 5.6 to 6.9 mmol/l), were followed from 1983 to 2004. Pooled logistic regression was used to calculate multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for incident coronary heart disease (CHD; 291 events)...

peperomia pellucida leaf extract was characterized for its anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant activities, and chemical compositions. anticancer activity of p. pellucida leaf extract was determined through colorimetric mtt (tetrazolium) assay against human breast adenocarcinoma (mcf-7) cell line and the antimicrobial property of the plant extract was revealed by using two-fold broth micro-di...

The bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo) is one of the most serious rice diseases, causing huge yield losses worldwide. Several technologies and approaches have been opted to reduce damage; however, these had limited success. Recently, scientists focusing their efforts on developing efficient environmentally friendly nanobactericides for controlling diseases in fie...
