, the causative agent of the infectious disease, cholera, is commonly found in brackish waters and infects human hosts via the fecal-oral route. is a master of stress resistance as dynamic lifestyle across different physical environments constantly exposes it to diverse stressful circumstances. Specifically, has dedicated genetic regulatory networks to sense different environmental cues and respond to these signals. With frequent outbreaks costing a tremendous amount of lives and increased global water temperatures providing more suitable aquatic habitats for , cholera pandemics remain a probable catastrophic threat to humanity. Understanding how copes with different environmental stresses broadens our repertoire of measures against infectious diseases and expands our general knowledge of prokaryotic stress responses. In this review, we summarize the regulatory mechanisms of how fights against stresses in vivo and in vitro.

Objectives: Cancer diagnosis comes as a shock to many patients, and many of them feel unprepared to handle the complexity of the life-changing event, understand technicalities of the diagnostic reports, and fully engage with the clinical team regarding the personalized clinical decision-making.
Materials And Methods: We develop Oncointerpreter.ai an interactive resource to offer personalized summarization of clinical cancer genomic and pathological data, and frame questions or address queries about therapeutic opportunities in near-real time via a graphical interface.

Genetic testing practices are rapidly evolving for people living with, or at-risk for, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), due to emerging genotype-driven therapies. This study explored how individuals at-risk for familial ALS (fALS) perceive the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial, and to better understand how that may influence the decision-making process for predictive genetic testing. This study used both quantitative and qualitative data analyses.

Background: Children and young adults needing surgery for a primary malignant bone tumour around the knee face a difficult, life-changing decision. A previous study showed that this population wants to be involved more in the decision-making process and that more involvement leads to less decisional stress and regret. Therefore, a well-designed and standardized decision-making process based on the principles of shared decision-making needs to be designed, implemented, and evaluated.

Due to the relatively advanced age and high mortality rate of patients with high-grade chondrosarcoma (CS), it is important to holistically assess patient- and tumor characteristics in multidisciplinary team and shared decision-making with regard to treatment options. While current prognostic models include multiple tumor and treatment characteristics, the only patient characteristics that are commonly included are age and gender. Based on clinical experience, we believe that factors related to patient preoperative systemic health status such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score may be equally important prognostic factors for overall survival (OS).
