The aim of this work was the genetic typing of RVA isolates originating from pigs and human patients in Slovakia. Seventy-eight rectal swabs from domestic pigs and 30 stool samples from humans were collected. The whole VP7 (G genotypes), VP6 (I genotypes) and partial VP4 (P genotypes) ORFs were amplified by RT-PCR. Genetic variability was higher amongst porcine sequences, where four G genotypes (G3, G4, G5, G11), two P genotypes (P[6], P[13]) and one I5 genotype were detected. Human RVA strains were represented by two G genotypes (G1, G3), two I genotypes (I1, I2), and one P genotype (P[8]). Genetic analysis did not show a relationship between Slovakian porcine and human RVA strains, but phylogenetic grouping of some Slovakian porcine sequences with Hungarian human sequences in both G and P genotypes was observed.

Potato is a versatile food crop and major component of human nutrition worldwide. Model calculations and computer simulations can be used to optimize the resource allocation in potato breeding programs but require quantitative genetic parameters. The objectives of our study are to (i) estimate quantitative genetic parameters of the most important phenotypic traits in potato breeding programs, (ii) compare the importance of inter- vs.

Background: General conditions in a prison may facilitate water- or food-borne infections.

Methods: Detection of intestinal parasites was achieved in 471 male prison inmates by standard microscopic procedures on their stool samples. Positive samples were processed by PCR amplification of a 600-bp fragment of the SSU rRNA gene and partial sequences of the genes.

Objective: We report post hoc analyses of efficacy with first-line avelumab plus axitinib or sunitinib according to baseline neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (NER) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) from the JAVELIN Renal 101 phase 3 trial.

Methods And Analysis: Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and objective response per baseline NER were analysed in the overall population and in patients with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1+) tumours. Multivariable Cox regression analyses to assess the effect of NER after adjustment for other baseline variables were conducted.

Assessment of relationships between epigenetic age acceleration and multiple sclerosis: a bidirectional mendelian randomization study.

Epigenetics Chromatin

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.

Background: The DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks are increasingly recognized for their precision in predicting aging and its health implications. Although prior research has identified connections between accelerated epigenetic aging and multiple sclerosis, the chronological and causative aspects of these relationships are yet to be elucidated. Our research seeks to clarify these potential causal links through a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.
