Rationale for osteoporosis screening in men.

Unlabelled: The US Preventive Services Task Force has not recommended osteoporosis screening in men. Department of Veterans Affairs clinicians reviewed the literature on male osteoporosis screening and treatment. They concluded that targeted screening identifies men at risk and osteoporosis drugs reduce fracture risk similarly in men and women.

CC-96673 (BMS-986358), an affinity-tuned anti-CD47 and CD20 bispecific antibody with fully functional fc, selectively targets and depletes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) is a transmembrane protein highly expressed in tumor cells that interacts with signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) and triggers a "don't eat me" signal to the macrophage, inhibiting phagocytosis and enabling tumor escape from immunosurveillance. The CD47-SIRPα axis has become an important target for cancer immunotherapy. To date, the advancement of CD47-targeted modalities is hindered by the ubiquitous expression of the target, often leading to rapid drug elimination and hematologic toxicity including anemia.

Effect of Different Irrigant Activation Techniques on the Penetration of Calcium Hydroxide, an Intracanal Medicament: An In Vitro Study.

Background and objective The main goal of root canal treatment is to eliminate microorganisms from the canal and to prevent re-infection. To achieve these goals, instrumentation must be combined with adequate irrigation and the placement of intracanal medicament. This study aims to compare the effect of different irrigation activation techniques, i.

SMG1, a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) regulator, as a candidate therapeutic target in multiple myeloma.

Early data suggested that CC-115, a clinical molecule, already known to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin kinase (TORK) and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) may have additional targets beyond TORK and DNA-PK. Therefore, we aimed to identify such target(s) and investigate a potential therapeutic applicability. Functional profiling of 141 cancer cell lines revealed inhibition of kinase suppressor of morphogenesis in genitalia 1 (SMG1), a key regulator of the RNA degradation mechanism nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), as an additional target of CC-115.
