Most psychiatric disorders are heterogeneous and are attributed to the synergistic action of a multitude of factors. It is generally accepted that psychiatric disorders are the outcome of interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental perturbations, which involve psychosocial stress, or alterations in the physiological state of the organism. A number of hypotheses have been presented on such environmental influences that may include direct insults such as injury, malnutrition and hostile living conditions, or indirect sequelae following infection from viruses such as influenza, arboviruses, enteroviruses and several herpesviruses, or the differential expression of human endogenous retroviruses.

Background: Disorders of consciousness (DoC) refers to a group of clinical conditions of altered consciousness. To improve their diagnosis and prognosis, multimodal assessment can be of great importance. Informal caregivers of people with DoC who are confronted with new technologies as such can benefit from interventions to expand their health literacy, i.

Ovarian cancer presents significant challenges in clinical oncology due to its high prevalence, heterogeneity, and late-stage diagnosis. Our study explores the application of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) and bulk RNA sequencing to enhance our understanding of ovarian cancer at the molecular level. We highlight the diagnostic strategies and emphasize the critical role of scRNA-Seq in unraveling the intricate cellular composition and phenotypic plasticity within ovarian tumors.

() amplification via fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) is the gold standard test used for confirming the diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor/well differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. It is also used as a screening test in high grade spindle cell or pleomorphic neoplasms. FISH is considered positive for amplification when the /CEP12 ratio is greater than 2; however, a ratio between 2 and 3 is considered a "low-level" amplification and raises the possibility of a false positive result; thus, posing a diagnostic dilemma.
