Objective: We aim to evaluate the indication and use of genomic signatures in breast cancer patients and outcomes who in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy or not.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of breast cancer patients managed in a private oncology clinic in Teresina, from November 2014 to February 2021. All patients with an indication of genomic signature were included. Clinical and pathological variables, use of genomic signatures, treatment and follow-up were obtained. The nomogram to predict Oncotype DX results (University of Tennessee Medical Center) was also calculated. Clinical risk calculation was based on MINDACT, using the modified version of Adjuvant Online. The genetic signatures performed were: the Oncotype, MammaPrint and EndoPredict.

Results: Fifty (50) female patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 57.1 years. Among the patients receiving a genomic signature (26-52.0%), there was a change in treatment in 8 (30.7%) cases. Chemotherapy was indicated in four patients, It was contraindicated in another four patients. Treatment changed in 30.7% of the tested patients. Chemotherapy was indicated for those who would not receive it before. It was contraindicated in patients who would previously undergo chemotherapy.

Mammalian milk contains a variety of complex bioactive and nutritional components and microorganisms. These microorganisms have diverse compositions and functional roles that impact host health and disease pathophysiology, especially mastitis. The advent and use of high throughput omics technologies, including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, metametabolomics, as well as culturomics in milk microbiome studies suggest strong relationships between host phenotype and milk microbiome signatures in mastitis.

Down syndrome (DS) is strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to APP overexpression, exhibiting Amyloid-β (Aβ) and Tau pathology similar to early-onset (EOAD) and late-onset AD (LOAD). We evaluated the Aβ plaque proteome of DS, EOAD, and LOAD using unbiased localized proteomics on post-mortem paraffin-embedded tissues from four cohorts (n = 20/group): DS (59.8 ± 4.

The neurobiological mechanisms driving the ictal-interictal fluctuations and the chronification of migraine remain elusive. We aimed to construct a composite genetic-microRNA model that could reflect the dynamic perturbations of the disease course and inform the pathogenesis of migraine. We prospectively recruited four groups of participants, including interictal episodic migraine (i.

Identifying populations at highest risk from climate change is a critical component of conservation efforts. However, vulnerability assessments are usually applied at the species level, even though intraspecific variation in exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity play a crucial role in determining vulnerability. Genomic data can inform intraspecific vulnerability by identifying signatures of local adaptation that reflect population-level variation in sensitivity and adaptive capacity.

The transcriptomic classification of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) into distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) is a well-described strategy for patient stratification. However, the molecular nature of CRC metastases remains poorly investigated. To this end, this study aimed to identify and compare organotropic CMS frequencies in CRC liver and brain metastases.
