Nomogram prediction for gastric cancer development.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and gastric atrophy represent significant risk factors for gastric cancer. Nevertheless, to date no nomogram has been developed to predict gastric cancer based on the specific combination of risk factors, present in individual cases.

Methods: A retrospective-cohort study was conducted using health-screening data collected between 2003 and 2018.

High strength kami-ito yarns from microbial cellulose biofilms.

We present a method for developing high-strength, sustainable yarns from microbial biofilms with minimal processing and chemical use. Inspired by the japanese "kami-ito" () technique for creating yarns from paper, we introduce an eco-friendly alternative to cotton and industrially-produced man-made cellulose fibers using a microbial cellulose source. We culture and dye bacterial cellulose biofilms that we used to produce yarns with tensile strengths of up to 200 MPa (55 MPa in the wet state).

Food Insecurity Predicts Excessive Exercise, Dietary Restriction, Cognitive Restraint, and Purging, but Not Binge Eating, in College Students Across 3 Months.

Objectives: College students are at elevated risk for both food insecurity and eating disorder (ED) symptoms. Prior literature supports cross-sectional associations between food insecurity and ED symptoms, including binge eating, purging (e.g.

Maintenance of p-eIF2α levels by the eIF2B complex is vital for colorectal cancer.

Protein synthesis is an essential process, deregulated in multiple tumor types showing differential dependence on translation factors compared to untransformed tissue. We show that colorectal cancer (CRC) with loss-of-function mutation in the APC tumor suppressor depends on an oncogenic translation program regulated by the ability to sense phosphorylated eIF2α (p-eIF2α). Despite increased protein synthesis rates following APC loss, eIF2α phosphorylation, typically associated with translation inhibition, is enhanced in CRC.

[Eosinophilic Lung Diseases: Time Pressure in the Maze of Differential Diagnoses].

We present a case with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). We provide an overview of eosinophilic lung diseases and underline challenges in diagnosis and management of those diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the severity classification of EGPA and provide insight into the current treatment regimen.
