A radiomics nomogram based on multiparametric MRI for diagnosing focal cortical dysplasia and initially identifying laterality.

Background: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most common epileptogenic developmental malformation. The diagnosis of FCD is challenging. We generated a radiomics nomogram based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose FCD and identify laterality early.

Association between miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility: Evidence based on 6118 cases and 7042 controls.

Background: Polymorphism in miR-27a rs895819 has been associated with breast cancer (BC) risk, but studies have reported inconsistent results. This meta-analysis investigated the possible association between miR-27a rs895819 polymorphism and BC risk.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies in English and Chinese.
