Interleukin-6 Receptor Gene rs1800795 Polymorphism and Expression of Interleukin-6 in Gingival Tissue in Patients with Periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease. This chronic periodontal disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the gums, which triggers a host inflammatory response. To eliminate the bacterial infection, immune response mechanisms are activated, leading to inflammation and damage to the periodontal tissues.

rs662, rs854560 and rs17321515, rs2954029 Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with Lipid Parameters in Patients with Unstable Angina.

Acute coronary heart disease (CHD) is mainly caused by the rupture of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque. Many different factors can cause stenosis or even occlusion of the coronary artery lumen, such as vasculitis and platelet aggregation. Our study was performed to assess the association between rs662, rs854560 and rs17321515, rs2954029 polymorphisms and the risk of CHD, as well as the association between studied polymorphisms and selected clinical parameters affecting the risk of developing ischemic heart disease.

U.S. payer budget impact of using an AI-augmented cancer risk discrimination digital histopathology platform to identify high-risk of recurrence in women with early-stage invasive breast cancer.

Aims: Use of gene expression signatures to predict adjuvant chemotherapy benefit in women with early-stage breast cancer is increasing. However, high cost, limited access, and eligibility for these tests results in the adoption of less precise assessment approaches. This study evaluates the cost impact of PreciseDx Breast (PDxBr), an AI-augmented histopathology platform that assesses the 6-year risk of recurrence in early-stage invasive breast cancer patients to help improve informed use of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Solute Carrier Transporters in Synovial Membrane and Hoffa's Pad of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease that leads to joint destruction. A number of immune cells that affect joint tissues are involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. This leads to the synthesis of many pro-inflammatory mediators.
