Non-, a Treatable Provocateur of Parkinson's Disease: Hypothesis, Evidence and Species Specificity.

Epidemiological and eradication trial evidence indicates that , a major causative factor in peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, is a driver of the hypokinesia of Parkinson's disease (PD). Psychological (cognitive impairment, depression and anxiety) and gastrointestinal (peptic ulceration and constipation) PD features can precede the symptomatic onset of motor features by decades. We hypothesise that the non- (NHPH), which have farm, companion and wild animals as their main hosts, can have a role in PD aetiopathogenesis.

Combined expression of JHDM1D/KDM7A gene and long non-coding RNA RP11-363E7.4 as a biomarker for urothelial cancer prognosis.

Bladder cancer is the tenth most frequently diagnosed cancer globally. Classification of high- or low-grade tumors is based on cytological differentiation and is an important prognostic factor. LncRNAs regulate gene expression and play critical roles in the occurrence and development of cancer, however, there are few reports on their diagnostic value and co-expression levels with genes, which may be useful as specific biomarkers for prognosis and therapy in bladder cancer.

Sustainable radiology departments: A European survey to explore radiographers' perceptions of environmental and energy sustainability issues.

Introduction: The environmental impact of radiology and radiotherapy activities is influenced by the energy consumption of equipment, the life cycle of consumables, waste generation, and CO emissions caused by staff travel. This study aims to investigate radiographers' perception and knowledge of environmental sustainability issues.

Methods: An online survey was created and distributed to European radiographers and therapeutic radiographers.

Post-Cracking Properties of Concrete Reinforced with Polypropylene Fibers through the Barcelona Test.

The Barcelona method was developed as an alternative to other tests for assessing the post-cracking behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete, with the main advantage being that it uses significantly smaller specimens compared to other methods. For this reason, it can provide a solution for characterizing concrete in hard-to-reach constructions such as roads and tunnels. On the other hand, polypropylene (PP) fibers have gained increased attention in recent years within the scientific community due to their high tensile strength and cost-effectiveness.

Rapid Onset Idiopathic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Case Report with a Review of Echocardiographic Parameters.

Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is an emerging issue. The prognosis in PHT is usually poor, independently from the etiology, with progressive right ventricle failure. Despite right Heart Catheterism is the gold standard for diagnosis of PHT, echocardiography provides important information about prognosis and is helpful in both follow-up and first evaluation of PHT patients, showing a good correlation with invasively measured parameters by right heart catheterization.
