Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the role of small noncoding RNAs, specifically miRNAs, in kidney disease, exploring their potential as biomarkers for diagnosing and monitoring disease progression and treatment efficacy.* -
- Researchers utilized a cell-specific small RNA sequencing approach to analyze various cell types in injured and repairing kidneys, leading to the creation of a comprehensive miRNA catalog that maps changes during kidney injury and recovery.* -
- The team identified specific miRNAs, particularly miR-16-5p and miR-18a-5p, that are enriched in macrophages and found these miRNAs to be promising urinary biomarkers for acute kidney injury in transplant patients.*
There is considerable variation in selection of patients for and type of neoadjuvant radiotherapy administered in the treatment of resectable rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to report outcomes for patients with resected rectal cancer from a unit with step-wise selection for surgery alone, short course radiotherapy (SCRT) or downstaging long course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT). Cohort analysis of patients with rectal adenocarcinoma resected with curative intent between 2008 and 2012 at a specialist regional colorectal surgery center.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of reports of the efficacy of IL-1 RA in animal models of focal cerebral ischemia.
Results: We identified 16 published sources and one unpublished source of data.
