Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the use of Doppel, a prion-like protein absent in healthy female tissues, as a specific biomarker for detecting ovarian cancer (OC) early, distinguishing different subtypes and stages with high sensitivity and specificity.
- - Increased levels of Doppel in the sera of OC patients were found across three cohorts, allowing researchers to categorize the tumors into Doppel-high and Doppel-low groups, which are linked to differences in cancer characteristics.
- - The research also reveals that Doppel induces a process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and creates an immunosuppressive environment, suggesting a correlation between Doppel levels and circulating tumor cell (CTC) dissemination in the bloodstream.
Objective: A 1-day point prevalence study was planned to obtain country data by determining the clinical characteristics, follow-up and treatment methods of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases that required intensive care unit (ICU) treatment in the second year of the pandemic.
Material And Methods: All patients who were hospitalized in the ICUs due to COVID-19 between March 11, 2022, 08.00 am, and March 12, 2022, 08.

Aims: Previous work found that during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, 34% of patients with lung cancer treated with curative-intent radiotherapy in the UK had a change to their centre's usual standard of care treatment (Banfill et al. Clin Oncol 2022;34:19-27). We present the impact of these changes on patient outcomes.

The pigments were mixed with milled frits and applied to the metal and ceramic substance for enamel and ceramic glaze applications, respectively. For the plastic application, the pigments were mixed with melted polypropylene (PP) and formed into plastic plates.

Methods: The comparative, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted from October 2020 to April 2021 at the Paediatric Emergency Service after approval from the ethics review committee of Diyarbakir Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, and comprised infants with a diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis who were divided into four groups. Only appropriate dietary recommendations were given to the control group 1, while group 2 was given a single probiotic containing bifidobacterium breve, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium infantis and bifidobacterium longum strains.
