Mapping Thrombosis Serum Markers by H-NMR Allied with Machine Learning Tools.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence tools were used to investigate the discriminatory potential of blood serum metabolites for thromboembolism and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). H-NMR-based metabonomics data of the serum samples of patients with arterial or venous thromboembolism (VTE) without APS (n = 32), thrombotic primary APS patients (APS, n = 32), and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 32) were investigated. Unique metabolic profiles between VTE and HCs, APS and HCs, and between VTE and triple-positive APS groups were indicative of the significant alterations in the metabolic pathways of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, lipid metabolism, and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, and pointed to the complex pathogenesis mechanisms of APS and VTE.

Role of high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy for eradication in an Irish cohort: A prospective study.

() infections may cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancers, and other conditions outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Hence, it is important to diagnose and treat it early. is resistant to certain drugs in traditional eradication therapy, so alternative therapy protocols are needed, such as high-dose amoxicillin dual therapy (HDADT).

Hepcidin Is a Valuable Therapeutic Target for Colorectal Cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent neoplasms and a major cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite recent advances in treatment approaches, the prognosis of advanced CRC remains poor, thus indicating the necessity of more effective treatments for CRC patients. CRC cells produce high levels of hepcidin, a peptide hormone that binds to the membrane-bound ferroportin and promotes its internalization and degradation, thus sequestering iron into the cancer cells with the downstream effect of enhancing tumor growth.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Elderly Patients in a Latin American Country: Analysis of 11 Year of Data from the Brazilian Registry SBTMO/CIBMTR.

This study analyzed recent changes in the utilization of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and myeloproliferative diseases (MPDs) and the survival of HCT recipients ≥60 years of age in Brazil. This retrospective registry study included patients who received a first allogeneic HCT from any donor between 2012 and 2023. Of the 6657 patients, 444 (7%) were 60 years of age or older who received grafts from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related (42%) or unrelated (20%) donors or HLA-haploidentical donors (32%).
