Article Synopsis
- Testing for EGFR mutations is crucial for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, but practical challenges like access to testing and limited tissue samples hinder routine biomarker testing in European labs.
- A validated online survey conducted among 64 expert labs revealed varying turnaround times and testing practices, with a significant portion only conducting EGFR testing upon clinician request.
- Despite these issues, testing rates remained stable during the COVID-19 pandemic, but overall there is significant variability in testing methods and quality assurance across different European laboratories.
Article Synopsis
- The redox potential in living cells is crucial for maintaining physiological processes, influenced by antioxidants, amino acids, and proteins that handle reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
- Despite numerous studies supporting the regulatory role of free radicals, some still argue they only have harmful effects.
- The paper highlights the therapeutic potential of controlled oxidative stress, critiques common antioxidant supplements, and emphasizes the connection between redox processes and innate immunity and fever regulation.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether cherry extract has any effect on salivary α-amylase activity (sAA) or on the level of Streptococcus mutans in human saliva. 70 patients (45 females and 25 males) in three age groups (22 children, 25 young adults, and 23 adults) were examined. All participants completed a questionnaire to obtain information on their oral health behaviour and life style.
