Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains as one of the most lethal malignancies. c-MET is an important oncogenic kinase involved in PDAC progression. We determined the anticancer effect of c-MET inhibitors, crizotinib and cabozantinib, combined with chemotherapeutic agents, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine, against different PDAC and a lung adenocarcinoma cell line expressing different levels of c-MET.

If unaddressed, death anxiety can lead to numerous mental and physical health issues. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of death anxiety and its associated factors in the population of eastern Iran.

Ultra-high field MRI scanners, such as those operating at 7 Tesla (7T) or higher, can boost the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to improve dMRI compared with what is attainable at conventional field strengths such as 3T or 1.5T.

We have organized a study to investigate the relationship between HbA1c and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in diabetic patients after PCI.
Methods: This case-cohort study was conducted on 563 diabetic patients who underwent PCI.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the connection between the olfactory system and COVID-19 symptoms like loss of smell (anosmia) and taste (hypogeusia) by examining the role of the nervus terminalis (NT) using ultra-high-field 7T MRI imaging.
- Researchers evaluated brain images from 45 COVID-19 patients and 29 healthy controls to identify the presence of NT, olfactory bulbs (OB), and signs of brain volume loss or changes in signal intensity.
- The results showed that NT was visible in all participants, with COVID-19 patients experiencing anosmia or hypogeusia showing significant T2 hyperintensity in NT, OB, and olfactory tract (OT) compared to controls and
