Breast cancer is a global concern as a leading cause of death for women. Early and precise diagnosis can be vital in handling the disease efficiently. Breast cancer subtyping based on estrogen receptor (ER) status is crucial for determining prognosis and treatment.

Breast cancer remains a major public health concern, and early detection is crucial for improving survival rates. Metabolomics offers the potential to develop non-invasive screening and diagnostic tools based on metabolic biomarkers. However, the inherent complexity of metabolomic datasets and the high dimensionality of biomarkers complicates the identification of diagnostically relevant features, with multiple studies demonstrating limited consensus on the specific metabolites involved.

Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses an opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus commonly found in soil and water, mainly causing respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis patients but also leading to rare urinary tract infections.
  • - A literature review was conducted to summarize knowledge on the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of these urinary tract infections, as existing cases are mostly individual reports or small series.
  • - In hospitals, this bacillus can cause multidrug-resistant urinary tract infections, particularly when surfaces and medical equipment are contaminated, leading to serious complications like sepsis and higher mortality rates following surgery or extended ICU stays.

Real-time detection of intermediate species and final products at the surface and near-surface in interfacial solid-gas reactions is critical for an accurate understanding of heterogeneous reaction mechanisms. In this article, an experimental method that can simultaneously monitor the ultrafast dynamics at the surface and above the surface in photoinduced heterogeneous reactions is presented. This method relies on a combination of mass spectrometry and femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes complex, time-dependent molecular and cellular responses, which include adaptive changes that promote repair and recovery, as well as maladaptive processes such as chronic inflammation that contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and neurological dysfunction. Hormesis is a well-established biological phenomenon in which exposure to low-dose toxins or stressors results in protective responses to subsequent higher-level stressors or insults. Hormetic stimuli show a characteristic U-shaped or inverted J-shaped dose-response curve, as well as being time and exposure-frequency dependent, similar to pre-conditioning and post-conditioning actions.
