Despite the existence of effective therapy options for patients with localized colorectal cancer, advanced-stage patients have limited therapies. Genomic profiling is a promising tool for guiding treatment selection as well as patient monitoring. Here, we describe a novel gene rearrangement () detected in a patient with advanced colorectal cancer that could be a therapeutic target.

- Infections caused by pathogens like gonorrhea can present similar clinical symptoms, leading to common treatments that may increase antibiotic resistance.
- Certest Biotec created two diagnostic kits for the simultaneous detection of gonorrhea and fluoroquinolone resistance, showing promising performance in a clinical study.
- The study analyzed 540 clinical samples, revealing high sensitivity and specificity of the kits compared to traditional diagnostic methods, enhancing diagnosis and treatment while addressing rising antibiotic resistance.
Article Synopsis
- * In experiments on mice, inducing YFs during brain development led to increased cell growth and improved behaviors, while adult induction helped prevent Alzheimer's disease symptoms.
- * These findings suggest that YFs could be a promising tool for addressing brain disorders and enhancing neural development.
Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a common abdominal surgery, but there is a risk of bile duct injuries occurring in a small percentage of cases, especially during severe cholecystitis.
- To manage complex situations, techniques like subtotal cholecystectomy—removing part of the gallbladder—should be part of a surgeon's toolkit to minimize injury.
- This article offers a detailed guide on five techniques for performing subtotal cholecystectomy, including tips for using minimally invasive methods and tools like preoperative indocyanine green for better identification of anatomy.
