Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype characterized by the lack in the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptors 2. TNBC stands out among other breast cancers subtypes for its high aggressiveness and invasiveness, and for the limited therapeutic options available, which justify the poor survival rates registered for this breast cancer subtype. Compelling new evidence pointed out the role of epigenetic modifications in cancer, prompting tumor cell uncontrolled proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and metastatic events.

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute physiologic, subjective, and direct appetite responses of a pecan-containing meal to an energy- and macronutrient-matched control meal. This was an acute meal challenge study utilizing a double-blinded randomized crossover design with two periods.

- Instructors gauge student engagement in face-to-face learning through real-time monitoring, adapting activities to maintain interest.
- Transitioning to synchronous virtual learning environments (VLEs) complicates the assessment of student engagement, as traditional indicators like facial expressions and voice can be limited by technology.
- This paper outlines a methodology for measuring engagement in VLEs based on analyzing over 30 digital interactions, supported by a software prototype tested during different types of synchronous lessons, ultimately helping instructors reconnect with students in a virtual setting.
This proof of concept is to evaluate the utility of perfusion cone-beam computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing prostatic artery (PA) embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with moderate or severe-grade lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). PAE is a novel minimally invasive therapy and is both safe and effective procedure with low risks and high technical successes, making this procedure as the best alternative to surgery. A lot of technical changes would compromise clinical outcomes after procedure, including a variable prostate vascular anatomy, thin PA, and extensive atherosclerotic disease.
