Human artificial chromosome (HAC) technology has developed rapidly over the past four years. Recent reports show that HACs are useful gene transfer vectors in expression studies and important tools for determining human chromosome function. HACs have been used to complement gene deficiencies in human cultured cells by transfer of large genomic loci also containing the regulatory elements for appropriate expression. And, they now offer the possibility to express large human transgenes in animals, especially in mouse models of human genetic diseases.

Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in healthcare to boost productivity, reduce administrative workloads, and improve patient outcomes. In nursing, AI offers both opportunities and challenges. This study explores nurses' perspectives on implementing AI in nursing practice within the context of Jordan, focusing on the perceived benefits and concerns related to its integration.

The optimal duration of on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remains uncertain. Determining this critical time period requires outweighing the potential risks associated with intra-arrest transport while minimizing delays in accessing definitive hospital-based treatments. This study evaluated the association between on-scene CPR duration and 30-day neurologically favorable survival based on the transport time interval (TTI) in patients with OHCA.

We aimed to build a robust classifier for the MGMT methylation status of glioblastoma in multiparametric MRI. We focused on multi-habitat deep image descriptors as our basic focus. A subset of the BRATS 2021 MGMT methylation dataset containing both MGMT class labels and segmentation masks was used.

Exploring the potential of advanced artificial intelligence technology in predicting microsatellite instability (MSI) and Ki-67 expression of endometrial cancer (EC) is highly significant. This study aimed to develop a novel hybrid radiomics approach integrating multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), deep learning, and multichannel image analysis for predicting MSI and Ki-67 status. A retrospective study included 156 EC patients who were subsequently categorized into MSI and Ki-67 groups.

Pocket hematoma is a common and serious complication following cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel pocket compression device in reducing pocket hematoma occurrence. We enrolled 242 patients undergoing CIED implantation, randomly assigning them to receive either the novel compression vest with a pressure cuff or conventional sandbag compression.
