Promising Long-Term Outcomes of Lung Transplantation With Hepatitis C Positive Donors: Insights From the UNOS Registry.

Background: The development of effective direct-acting antiviral treatment (DAAT) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) has opened the possibility of using HCV+ donors. We aimed to assess the long-term feasibility of lung transplantation using organs from HCV+ donors.

Methods: We used the UNOS database to evaluate adult lung transplant recipients between 2000 and 2023.

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis of Indian blackberry (Syzygium cumini L.) using CAAT box‑derived polymorphism (CBDP) and start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) markers.

Indian blackberry (Syzygium cumini L.) also known as jamun is a very important underutilized fruit crop with notable medicinal and economic value. However, its genetic improvement has been constrained by limited knowledge of the genetic diversity within existing collections.

Rurality Status and Cardiovascular Events/Survival in Older Men With Prostate Cancer.

Background: Rural areas have higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and age-adjusted mortality rates in the general population. However, the impact of rurality on CVD development and outcomes in patients with prostate cancer (PC) remains unclear.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the SEER-Medicare database to analyze males aged ≥65 years diagnosed with PC between 2009 and 2017.

Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma: Karyotyping Profile and Florescent In-Situ Hybridization Analysis with C-Myelocytomatosis, Tumor Suppressor p53 and CEP-X/Y Probes.

Unlabelled: The chromosomal characterization of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (NPF) of Indian origin seems important as it is consistently absent in literature. Routine karyotyping (G-banding) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was undertaken using CMYC, TP53 CEPX/Y probes in 9 cases of NPF wherein chromosomal characteristics were correlated with clinical parameters. Karyotype profile of venous sample from every case was normal.

Safe prescribing in cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and outcomes following restart of cancer care following SARS-CoV-2 infection: The COV-SPOT initiative.

SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread across the world as a highly transmissible endemic disease. For many cancer patients, SARS-CoV-2 infection is unavoidable. It continues to disrupt cancer care, causing treatment delays and major psycho-socio-medical issues.
