Correlation Between High Expression of FOXA2 and Improved Overall Survival in Ovarian Cancer Patients.

BACKGROUND The aim of the present work was to evaluate FOXA2 expression in ovarian cancer and to use integrated bioinformatics analysis to correlate it with patient prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS FOXA2 expression was evaluated in multiple cancers in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network relevant to FOXA2 was constructed using the Search Tool for Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRIN).

Personalized application of three different concentrations of iodinated contrast media in coronary computed tomography angiography.

No study has evaluated the impact of different iodinated contrast media on coronary contrast enhancement, using an injection protocol according to body surface area (BSA). Thus, the present study aimed to examine the usefulness and safety of personalized application of different iodine concentrations of contrast media in coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography with a 2nd dual-source CT scanner in eliminating differences in coronary contrast enhancement based on a BSA-adapted injection protocol of contrast media. A total of 270 enrolled participants were randomly assigned to three groups: ioversol 320, ioversol 350 and iopromide 370 (n = 90 per group).
