Linking phenotypes to genetic components has been an essential part of novel drug discovery, and screening methods have been widely employed to achieve such a goal. Screens can be conducted in either pooled or arrayed formats. Although arrayed screenings provide a better and cheaper alternative in small scale, the larger-scale screenings are conducted in pooled manner. With its adaptability to various models and conditions, CRISPR/Cas9 technology provides an invaluable alternative to classical and RNAi-based screening methods. Combined with high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, CRISPR-/Cas9-based pooled screening methods provide unbiased and robust data. In this protocol, we employed CRISPR-/Cas9-based pooled screening for a non-binary and non-immediate readout.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a potential cure for many hematological malignancies. Historically, older adults were not considered eligible for allo-HCT due to increased toxicity and mortality concerns. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the outcomes of allo-HCT in patients aged 70 years or older.

Background: Public health issues related to tuberculosis still exist. Because Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra is more effective than conventional TB diagnostic techniques are, it is now regarded as an emerging technology. The diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra for tuberculosis was assessed in this systematic study.

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pelvic vein insufficiency (PVI).
Results: Seven studies comprised of 802 patients were included. Of these studies, 5 utilised transvaginal ultrasound (TVU), 1 utilised transabdominal ultrasound (TAU) and 1 utilised both ultrasounds as diagnostic tool .

Childhood abuse represents one of the most potent risk factors for the development of psychopathology during childhood, accounting for 30-60% of the risk for onset. While previous studies have separately associated reductions in gray matter volume (GMV) with childhood abuse and internalizing psychopathology (IP), it is unclear whether abuse and IP differ in their structural abnormalities, and which GMV features are related to abuse and IP at the individual level. In a pooled multisite, multi-investigator sample, 246 child and adolescent females between the ages of 8-18 were recruited into studies of interpersonal violence (IPV) and/or IP (i.

Background: Multiparametric MRI (Mp-MRI) is a key tool to screen for Prostate Cancer (Pca) and Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer (CsPca). It primarily includes T2-Weighted imaging (T2w), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced imaging (DCE). Despite its improvements in CsPca screening, concerns about the cost-effectiveness of DCE persist due to its associated side effects, increased cost, longer acquisition time, and limitations in patients with poor kidney function.
