Diagnostic Efficacy of Bone SPECT Techniques in Differentiating Unilateral and Bilateral Condylar Hyperplasia.

This analytical cross-sectional study evaluates diagnostic approaches for active condylar hyperplasia using bone SPECT techniques. : it was compared the effectiveness of relative activity assessments between condyles and quantitative analysis using the condyle/clivus ratio. : This study's findings reveal that the condyle/clivus ratio method significantly outperforms the relative uptake method, achieving a sensitivity of 90.

SETD8 inhibition targets cancer cells with increased rates of ribosome biogenesis.

SETD8 is a methyltransferase that is overexpressed in several cancers, which monomethylates H4K20 as well as other non-histone targets such as PCNA or p53. We here report novel SETD8 inhibitors, which were discovered while trying to identify chemicals that prevent 53BP1 foci formation, an event mediated by H4K20 methylation. Consistent with previous reports, SETD8 inhibitors induce p53 expression, although they are equally toxic for p53 proficient or deficient cells.

Quality of Life is an Independent Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Heart Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study from the Colombian Heart Failure Registry (RECOLFACA).

Aim: Patients with Heart Failure (HF) commonly have poor quality of life (QoL), secondary to the persistence and severity of HF symptoms. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of QoL measures on all-cause mortality in patients with HF from the Colombian registry of heart failure (RECOLFACA).

Methods And Results: We analyzed data from patients registered in RECOLFACA during 2017-2019.
