Real-World Evidence of the Impact of CanAssist Breast on Physician's Decision About the Use of Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Early Breast Cancer.

Background Clinicians use prognostic biomarker/multi-gene-based tests for predicting recurrence in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) early-stage breast cancer (EBC). CanAssist Beast (CAB) uses the expression of five protein biomarkers in combination with tumor-specific parameters such as tumor size, histopathological grade, and lymph node status to predict the risk of distant recurrence within five years of diagnosis for patients with HR+/HER2-, EBC. The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of prognostic tests on adjuvant chemotherapy decisions by assessing the agreement between clinical and CAB risk stratification as low-risk (LR) or high-risk (HR) for distant recurrence.

Equine piroplasmosis in different geographical areas in France: Prevalence heterogeneity of asymptomatic carriers and low genetic diversity of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi.

Equine piroplasmosis is a worldwide tick-borne disease caused by the parasites Theileria equi sensu lato and Babesia caballi, with significant economic and sanitary consequences. These two parasites are genetically variable, with a potential impact on diagnostic accuracy. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency of asymptomatic carriers of these parasites in France and describe the circulating genotypes.

Unraveling the genetic diversity, population structure, and stability for yield-related traits of rice genotypes in mid-hills of northeastern India.

The cultivation of nearly 10,000 indigenous rice landraces in the North-Eastern Hill (NEH) region by various ethnic groups creates opportunities for the utilization of unique landraces through systematic evaluation of genetic variability. In the present study, a set of 102 rice landraces were assessed based on morphological and SSR markers, and five checks in augmented design vis-à-vis high-yielding rice genotypes with stable performance were identified. The presence of high estimates of heritability, genotypic coefficient of variation, and genetic advance over mean indicated the predominance of additive gene action, which necessitated the effectiveness of selection in augmenting productivity.
