Article Synopsis
- A Rare Cell Sorter (RCS) was tested in a pilot study to collect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from lung cancer patients and verify their authenticity by comparing EGFR mutation status with tissue samples.
- The study involved 18 patients, with CTCs found in 6 (33%), and a significant concordance of 83% for EGFR mutations between CTCs and tissue samples, achieving a high overall concordance rate of 96%.
- The results demonstrate that the RCS can effectively detect CTCs and suggests its potential for broader applications in cancer detection, although larger studies are needed for further validation.
Preoperative ECG Abnormalities Among Patients Who Underwent Elective Surgical Operations at the Kuwaiti Specialised Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Cureus
February 2024
Background: The presence of preoperative ECG abnormalities has shown wide variation, and its value has been argued; thus, this study aimed to determine preoperative ECG abnormalities among Sudanese patients and their correlates.
Materials And Methods: An observational descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Kuwaiti Specialised Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, from October 2020 to March 2021, including all patients over 40 years of age who planned to undergo elective surgery. Demographic, clinical, and ECG findings were obtained during the pre-anaesthesia check-up.
Views of parents, adults born preterm and professionals on linkage of real-world data of preterm babies.
Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed
March 2023
Objective: To explore views of parents of preterm babies, adults born preterm and professionals, on the linkage of real-world health and education data for research on improving future outcomes of babies born preterm.
Design: Three-stage mixed-methods participatory design involving focus groups, a national survey and interviews. Survey participants who expressed uncertainty or negative views were sampled purposively for invitation to interview.
Background/aim: This study describes a rare cell sorter (RCS) method to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and CTC clusters in whole blood without pretreatment.
Patients And Methods: We collected samples from breast cancer patients at the University of Tsukuba Hospital. A total of 15 whole-blood specimens from patients with breast cancer were collected and analyzed via a microfluidics chip, fluorescence-conjugated antibody staining, and fluorescence microscopy.
The effect of vitamin E treatment on selected immune and oxidative parameters in Kivircik ewes suffering from transport stress.
J Anim Physiol Anim Nutr (Berl)
October 2021
The study aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin E injection for the prevention of transport stress on ewes. Kivircik ewes (2-3 years old, n = 24) were randomly separated into three groups; G1 (Control) and G2 treated with 14 ml. saline as the placebo, G3 treated with 2100 IU/ind.
