Economic losses in cattle farms are frequently associated with failed pregnancies. Some studies found that the transcriptomic profiles of blood and endometrial tissues in cattle with varying pregnancy outcomes display discrepancies even before artificial insemination (AI) or embryo transfer (ET). In the study, 330 samples from seven distinct sources and two tissue types were integrated and divided into two groups based on the ability to establish and maintain pregnancy after AI or ET: P (pregnant) and NP (nonpregnant).

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, often linked to overexpression or abnormal activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The issue of developing resistance to third-generation EGFR kinase inhibitors, such as osimertinib, underscores the urgent need for new therapies to overcome this resistance. Our findings revealed that compound A8 exhibits 88.

Purpose: To study the association between clinicopathologic characteristics of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and risk of subsequent invasive breast cancer (IBC).

Methods: We conducted a case-control study nested in a multicenter, population-based cohort of 8175 women aged ≥ 18 years with DCIS diagnosed between 1987 and 2016 and followed for a median duration of 83 months. Cases (n = 497) were women with a first diagnosis of DCIS who developed a subsequent IBC ≥ 6 months later; controls (2/case; n = 959) were matched to cases on age at and calendar year of DCIS diagnosis.

To assess the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2-D SWE) and point shear wave elastography (pSWE) in detecting liver fibrosis stages in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a comprehensive search was conducted across four databases up to February 9, 2024. A bivariate random-effects model was used to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of the methods. After screening, 13 studies involving pSWE included 1527 patients, while nine studies involving 2-D SWE included 1088 patients.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the urinary system, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype. MYBL2 has been reported to be overexpressed in various tumors and associated with poor prognosis in patients, but its biological role in ccRCC remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the mRNA and protein expression levels of MYBL2 in ccRCC samples and evaluated the prognostic value of MYBL2 using TCGA dataset.
