Female Authorship Trends Among Articles About Artificial Intelligence in North American Radiology Journals.

To examine trends in female authorship of peer-reviewed North American radiology articles centred around artificial intelligence (AI). A bibliographic search was conducted for all AI-related articles published in four North American radiology journals. Collected data included the genders of the first and last (senior) authors, year and country.

No association of the common Asian mitochondrial DNA haplogroups with lung cancer in East Indian population.

Objectives: Mitochondrial dysfunction has long been associated with the pathogenesis of lung cancer (LC). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups have been reported to modify the risk of LC in a few different populations; however, no study has been done among the Indians. Here, we explore the relationship between mtDNA haplogroups and LC in a representative eastern Indian sample set.

Association of adult attachment with delays in accessing specialist care in women with ovarian cancer.

Objective: Advanced stage at diagnosis and delayed presentation are common in ovarian cancer (OC). The objective of the current study was to explore the association of adult attachment pattern with delays in accessing specialist oncology care in patients with OC.

Methods: A cross-sectional structured interview study of patients with OC presenting to an Indian cancer center was undertaken.

Pathophysiological effects of cadmium(II) on human health-a critical review.

Cadmium(II) is an omnipresent environmental toxicant emitted from various industrial sources and by anthropogenic sources such as smoking. Cadmium(II) enters our body through various sources including contaminated food and drinks and from active or passive smoking. It spares no organs in our body and the calamities it invites include primarily nephrotoxicity, osteotoxicity, teratogenicity, endocrine disruption, hepatotoxicity and carcinogenicity above all.

Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroups and Three Independent Polymorphisms have no Association with the Risk of Parkinson's Disease in East Indian Population.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifaceted illness affecting ~ 0.3% of the world population. The genetic complexity of PD has not been, fully elucidated.

What do you need to learn in paediatric psycho-oncology?

Paediatric psycho-oncology is an evolving speciality and is increasingly being recognised as an essential component in children's cancer care. Modern paediatric oncology services aspire to integrate physical care with psycho-social care and build capacity within clinical teams to address the emotional needs of parents and children side by side with other aspects of medical care. This article discusses the unique challenges of paediatric psycho-oncology and common situations where psychological assessment and management of children and young people with cancer become especially important.

Meta-analysis and prioritization of human skin pigmentation-associated GWAS-SNPs using ENCODE data-based web-tools.

Skin pigmentation in human is a complex trait, which varies widely, both within and between human populations. The exact players governing the trait of skin pigmentation remain elusive till date. Various Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have shown the association of different genomic variants with normal human skin pigmentation, often indicating genes with no direct implications in melanin biosynthesis or distribution.
