The Geographical Distribution of Global Biobanks.

This study aimed to comprehensively review the global biobanks to visualize their geographical distribution. The protocol for this review consisted of the following steps: i. Developing a search strategy to identify biobanks from each continent, ii.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene (FGFR1) amplification in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by real-time PCR.

Background: Comprehensive molecular assessment of cancers could open up new horizons for novel therapies. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene amplification has been previously demonstrated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The current study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of FGFR1 gene amplification and its association with clinical and demographic data in a group of NSCLC patients.

Diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy among peripheral pulmonary lesions: a multicenter observational study.

Introduction: The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL) poses a significant challenge, prompting the widespread utilization of various modalities to ensure the precision in diagnosis. This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (CT-PTNB) in the context of pulmonary malignancy.

Methods And Materials: This multicenter retrospective observational study, included 1317 cases of CT-PTNB performed on adult patients with PPLs from January 2018 to December 2022 in Mashhad, Iran.

Effect of preoperative systemic capsaicin on tooth sensitivity after in-office bleaching: A pilot study.

Background: Tooth bleaching sensitivity (TBS) after bleaching procedures is a common problem. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of preoperative systemic capsaicin on tooth sensitivity (TS) after in-office bleaching procedures.

Materials And Methods: Thirty participants received the treatment in this clinical trial.
