A panorama of colon cancer in the era of liquid biopsy.

Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most frequent cancers worldwide being responsible for over 500 thousand deaths in 2022. Its financial and human burden is expected to increase in the next decades accompanying the growing and aging of the global population. Much of this burden could be alleviated considering that the lethality of CC is mostly due to its late diagnosis and failure in the individualized management of patients.

Waterlogging alone and combined with other abiotic stresses provides unique metabolic signatures at the plant-rhizosphere interface: A multi-omics perspective on root metabolome, root exudation and rhizomicrobiome.

Despite the growing evidence on unique and unpredictable impact of stress combination over plants, waterlogging-combined stresses effects are still underexplored. Under those conditions, besides the impairment of plant aerial parts, the root system is particularly vulnerable, leading to consequences on plant survival. Here, we report on the short-term exposure of soil-grown Arabidopsis thaliana L.

Unleashing the nutritional potential of Brassica microgreens: A case study on seed priming with Vermicompost.

Microgreens constitute ready-to-eat functional foods, being rich sources of phytonutrients and phytochemicals. Because of their short life cycle, seed priming is a promising strategy to fortify their functional outcome. Vermicompost was applied as seed priming agent for four Brassicaceae microgreens of nutritional interest.

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction: Insights on Prognosis and Future Perspectives.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) comprises a wide spectrum of structural and/or functional abnormalities of coronary microcirculation that can lead to myocardial ischemia. Emerging evidence has indicated that CMD is a relevant cause of morbidity and mortality and is associated with a high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction as well as poor quality of life. This review aims to elucidate briefly the pathogenesis and diagnostic modalities of CMD and to shed light on contemporary evidence on the prognostic impact of CMD.

Functional neurological disorder in multiple sclerosis: A prospective study.

Background: There is increasing recognition Functional Neurological disorder (FND) is comorbid with other neurological conditions, but little is known about patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We therefore systematically evaluated the presence of FND in consecutive patients with MS and its clinical correlates.

Methods: Three-hundred and ten consecutive MS patients, seen at our center on either elective or emergent basis, underwent a structured protocol to gather demographics and data about clinical features, previous and current treatments and presence of mood disorders and were additionally assessed by an expert in FND.
