Role of Donor-derived Cell-free DNA In Predicting Short-term Allograft Health In Liver Transplant Recipients.

Background/aims: Predicting allograft dysfunction prior to clinical or biochemical evidence remains one of the challenges in transplantation, and a preclinical detection and early management of its cause allows for improved post-transplant outcomes. Donor-derived cell-free DNA (ddcfDNA) has been proposed as an important biomarker of allograft injury and has shown to predict dysfunction prior to any biochemical derangements. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of ddcfDNA in detecting and differentiating the causes of early pre-biochemical detection of graft injury and in predicting the short-term outcomes of graft health using a patented protocol and proprietary set of single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Expression and association of vascular endothelial growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 3 in malignant gliomas.

Objectives: Angiogenesis is one of the main characteristic features of malignant gliomas. Phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 3 (pSTAT3) is not only involved in glioma cell proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and immunosuppression but also plays a key role in cell migration and invasion. Constitutively, activated pSTAT3 induces expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor VEGFR, leading to endothelial cell proliferation and abnormal microvascular formation causing peritumoral edema (PTE).

Navigating Virtual Care Services in Ontario Urban Hospitals, Using Patient Journey Mapping.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced health systems to rapidly shift to deliver healthcare virtually, however, there is a limited understanding of this shift from the patient's perspective. We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients in three clinical areas (mental health, chronic care, and surgical care) and used patient journey mapping to visualize their experiences. Themes suggest that (1) patient's preference of modalities was contextually dependent, (2) that providers must continually converse with patients to select appropriate modalities, and (3) that providers must account for multiple factors such as a patient's digital and health literacy, comfort level with the modality and their medical needs.

A biophysical approach of tyrphostin AG879 binding information in: bovine serum albumin, human ErbB2, c-RAF1 kinase, SARS-CoV-2 main protease and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.

Viral infections cause significant health problems all over the world, and it is critical to develop treatments for these problems. Antivirals that target viral genome-encoded proteins frequently cause the virus to become more resistant to treatment. Because viruses rely on several cellular proteins and phosphorylation processes that are essential to their life cycle, drugs targeting host-based targets could be a viable treatment option.
