Role of Autophagy Biomarkers In Burn-Age Estimation and Progression.
Acad Forensic Pathol
September 2019
Background: Determination of time passed since burn injury in the living is critical in forensic science. Autophagy biomarkers and vitronectin can play an important role in determination of the age of burn injuries through their levels in the tissue.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of autophagy biomarkers in dating burn injury and to correlate them with the histopathological effects of deep second-degree thermal burn.
Article Synopsis
- The paper has a correction regarding a statistic in the abstract.
- It mistakenly stated the number of patients and controls involved in the study.
- The correct line should indicate "One hundred patients were diagnosed with bladder cancer and two hundred controls attended the outpatient clinic."
Genetic aberrations of the K-ras proto-oncogene in bladder cancer in relation to pesticide exposure.

Article Synopsis
- Bladder cancer is highly prevalent in Egypt, making up 31% of all cancer cases and is particularly common in males, with an incidence of 32 per 100,000 in rural areas.
- The relationship between pesticide exposure and mutations in the K-ras gene was studied, involving 100 bladder cancer patients and 200 control subjects, highlighting the impact of pesticides on cellular mutation.
- Results indicated a significant correlation between pesticide exposure, K-ras mutations, and elevated levels of certain enzymes, suggesting a need to reduce pesticide usage and proposing a potential biomarker (P) for bladder cancer.
