Background: Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) differ from ovarian carcinomas in their clinical presentation and behavior, yet their molecular characteristics remain poorly understood. This study aims to address this gap by integrating whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to compare BOTs with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), endometrioid carcinoma (EC), and clear-cell carcinoma (CCC).
Objective: To elucidate the molecular features of BOTs and evaluate their similarities and differences in comparison to HGSC, EC, and CCC.
Purpose: To clarify the status of multigene panel testing for suspected hereditary breast cancer in our institute, and disclose the characteristics of the variants detected.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of individuals who underwent next-generation sequencing-based multigene panel testing at our institute to investigate hereditary genetic variants for suspected hereditary breast cancer.
Results: We identified 36 women who underwent multigene panel testing: 8 (22.
Global trends in the revision of nutrient reference values and formulations for infants and toddlers.
Asia Pac J Clin Nutr
February 2025
Background And Objectives: Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) play an important role in nutrition labeling and nutrition and health claims based on scientific data. This study, with a global perspective, reviewed recent trends in NRVs for adults and their establishment for infants and toddlers.
Methods And Study Design: We searched for laws and regulations on official government websites for nutrition labeling in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, South Korea, Japan, the Codex Committee, and the European Union.
Article Synopsis
- To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is essential, and direct air capture (DAC) using amine-based compounds is being researched for effectiveness.
- Researchers developed thermosetting DAC nanofibers that show strong performance with low-temperature desorption and heat resistance by polymerizing amines with epoxy, using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for easier fabrication.
- The resulting nanofiber webs demonstrated high CO adsorption capacity and efficient desorption, allowing for sustainable and low-energy recovery of CO while also maintaining stability over prolonged use.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the current clinical practice for the in vitro production of equine embryos. The use of conventional fertilization methods such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), has historically been associated with poor success in horses. However, recent improvements have led to better outcomes with IVF, though only when using fresh semen, which limits its use in clinical practice.
