Comparative Analysis of Neural Crest Development in the Chick and Mouse.

A core framework of the gene regulatory network (GRN) governing neural crest (NC) cell development has been generated by integrating separate inputs from diverse model organisms rather than direct comparison. This has limited insights into the diversity of genes in the NC cell GRN and extent of conservation of newly identified transcriptional signatures in cell differentiation and invasion. Here, we address this by leveraging the strengths and accessibility of the avian embryo to precise developmental staging by egg incubation and use an integrated analysis of chick (HH13) and mouse (E9.

Factors Affecting Readmission in Patients with Surgical Site Infection: A Graphical and Prediction Model-Based Approach.

Antimicrobial therapy is becoming less effective because of the rising microbial resistance. Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the major complications that require modifications in the infection control policy for effective management. To develop a model for predicting the readmission rates post-SSI treatment and to identify prevalent microbial isolates and the respective trends in resistance patterns.

Assessment of Self-Medication Practices and Knowledge Among Medical Students in Chengalpattu District: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The practice of self-medication is wherein individuals initiate the use of medications without consulting a healthcare professional. College life is a period marked by academic, social, and personal changes. Due to their greater freedom and the pressure of academic success, students face various health issues.

Severe corneal manifestations of graft-versus-host disease: experience of a tertiary referral center.

Purpose: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). GVHD may affect several organs, including ocular manifestations, ranging from dry eye syndrome to sight-threatening corneal ulceration or perforation. Limited information is available about characteristics and treatments of ocular GVHD and its relation to general prognosis.

Advances in diagnosis and prognosis of bacteraemia, bloodstream infection, and sepsis using machine learning: A comprehensive living literature review.

Background: Blood-related infections are a significant concern in healthcare. They can lead to serious medical complications and even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Throughout time, medical research has sought to identify clinical factors and strategies to improve the management of these conditions.
