Introduction: Cardiovascular risk prediction models are widely used to help individuals understand risk and make decisions.
Methods: Systematic review of qualitative evidence. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and CINAHL.
Article Synopsis
- - The impact of genomic diagnosis on congenital malformations is limited by a lack of understanding of how genetic variants cause diseases and if this knowledge can lead to tailored treatments.
- - Researchers discovered harmful genetic mutations in a key regulator gene linked to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a severe developmental disorder affecting the diaphragm and lungs.
- - In mouse studies, restoring normal histone acetylation through treatment improved lung development and reduced CDH-related complications, suggesting potential therapeutic approaches for affected patients.
Graphene-based materials have been the subject of interest for photothermal therapy due to their high light-to-heat conversion efficiency. Based on recent studies, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are expected to possess advantageous photothermal properties and facilitate fluorescence image-tracking in the visible and near-infrared (NIR), while surpassing other graphene-based materials in their biocompatibility. Several GQD structures including reduced graphene quantum dots (RGQDs) derived from reduced graphene oxide via top-down oxidation and hyaluronic acid graphene quantum dots (HGQDs) hydrothermally bottom-up synthesized from molecular hyaluronic acid were employed to test these capabilities in the present work.
