The One Health (OH) approach, integrating aspects of human, animal, and environmental health, still lacks robustly quantified insights into its complex relationships. To fill this knowledge gap, we devised a comprehensive assessment scheme for OH to assess its progress, synergies, trade-offs, and priority targets. From 2000 to 2020, we find evidence for global progress toward OH, albeit uneven, with its average score rising from 61.

The objective of this study was to identify characteristic factors for pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) undergoing surgery and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). We retrospectively collected pathological data from 237 LABC patients treated in Affiliated Fuzhou First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2010 to June 2021 and divided them into a training group (n = 166) and a validation group (n = 71) in a 7:3 ratio. A predictive model for pCR was established through logistic regression analysis and evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC).

To overcome these limitations, we developed a HO-responsive photosensitizer, CyBT, which could be activated by the upregulated HO induced by radiotherapy, enabling near-infrared fluorescence imaging-guided combination photodynamic and radiotherapy. The synthesis of CyBT began with the covalent linkage of hemicyanine and a free radical TEMPO through the click reaction, which demonstrated superior photodynamic properties.

Design: This is based on the IPSOS clinical trial. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of the cost-effectiveness of atezolizumab monotherapy versus single-agent chemotherapy over a 15-year duration.
The calcium (Ca) sensor ROD1 (RESISTANCE OF RICE TO DISEASES1) is a master regulator of immunity in rice. By screening suppressors of mutants, we show that ROD1 governs immune homeostasis by surveilling the activation of a canonical immune pathway. Mutations in (), (), (), and () all abolish enhanced disease resistance of plants.

Purpose To evaluate the performance of the winning machine learning (ML) models from the 2023 RSNA Abdominal Trauma Detection Artificial Intelligence Challenge. Materials and Methods The competition was hosted on Kaggle and took place between July 26, 2023, to October 15, 2023. The multicenter competition dataset consisted of 4,274 abdominal trauma CT scans in which solid organs (liver, spleen and kidneys) were annotated as healthy, low-grade or high-grade injury.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFLung metastasis in breast cancer (BC) patients is one of the main reasons for their high mortality rate. The most prevalent BC small extracellular vesicles (sEVs receptor, integrin α6β4, has been found to interact with surfactant-associated protein (SFTPC) in lung epithelial cells, making BC more likely to metastasize to the lung. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) play an essential role in BC lung metastasis as a component of the lung pre-metastatic niche (PMN) with two sides.

We report our tertiary institution experience of SCT in patients with breast or gynaecological cancers undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: The Paxman scalp cooling system was employed for eligible women with breast or gynaecological cancers receiving anthracycline or taxane-based chemotherapy.
Fungal laccase producers can effectively address bisphenol A (BPA) and antibiotic-contaminated water. However, the role of small mediators produced by fungal secondary metabolism in enhancing the removal of refractory contaminants is often overlooked. In this work, an efficient laccase-producing strain, Trametes hirsuta La-7, was activated to simultaneously treat BPA and antibiotics.

Therefore, it is essential to understand their defect mechanisms and to develop materials with excellent properties. In this paper, YO-based transparent ceramics with different Eu doping concentrations were prepared by solid-state reactive vacuum sintering.

However, nurses are not efficient in verifying patients' surgical information, and problems such as patient privacy leakage are becoming more prominent. To improve the situation, we developed a new augmented reality (AR)-based tool for visual recognition and artificial intelligent (AI) interpretation of the pattern and location of patient surgical skin markings for the verification of the correct surgical site and procedure.

Background: Lung cancer is a major contributor to cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are currently viewed as the established first-line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMetformin, a widely used oral hypoglycemic drug, has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. While initially known for its role in managing diabetes, accumulating evidence suggests that metformin exhibits anticancer properties through various mechanisms. Several cellular or animal experiments have attempted to elucidate the role of non-coding RNA molecules, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, in mediating the anticancer effects of metformin.
