Using a set of sequences of 63 cleavage/polyadenylation sites of vertebrate pre-mRNA, a generalized consensus matrix was constructed. The elements of the matrix were the absolute frequencies of oligonucleotides of length l at the ith position of sites. The cleavage point of each site was assigned the same position number. To recognize a polyadenylation site in a nucleotide sequence, a multiplicative measure was obtained using the elements of the generalized consensus matrix as weight factors. For any omega-long fragment of a nucleotide sequence, the estimated value of the functional mu was compared with the threshold value mu*. Based on the results obtained, we determined whether or not the given fragment is a processing site.

In the face of growing transplant waitlists and aging donors, sound pre-transplant evaluation of organ offers is paramount. However, many transplant centres lack clear criteria on organ acceptance. Often, previous scores for donor characterisation have not been validated for the Eurotransplant population and are not established to support graft acceptance decisions.

A case of testicular leiomyoma in androgen insensitivity syndrome: exploring malignancy controversies.

Oxf Med Case Reports

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry, Samyak Diagnostic Pvt Ltd, Yala Sadak, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal.

Testicular leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare finding in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). Here, we present a report of a 30-year-old individual diagnosed with complete AIS who presented with an inguinal mass subsequently identified as a right sided testicular leiomyoma. While leiomyoma are generally considered benign, controversies persist regarding the potential for malignancy in inguinal masses among AIS patients.

Bridging the gap: Evaluating ChatGPT-generated, personalized, patient-centered prostate biopsy reports.

Am J Clin Pathol

January 2025

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, NorthShore/Endeavor Health, Evanston, IL, United States.

Objective: The highly specialized language used in prostate biopsy pathology reports coupled with low rates of health literacy leave some patients unable to comprehend their medical information. Patients' use of online search engines can lead to misinterpretation of results and emotional distress. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT (OpenAI) could simplify complex texts and help patients.
