Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of neoplasm, developing in the colon or rectum. The exact etiology of CRC is not well known, but the role of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors are established in its pathogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore the effects of ANRIL polymorphisms on the CRC and its clinical findings.

Prone extension views in cervical MRI: A case-driven Novel approach.

The cervical spinal canal has a wide range of motion and specific biomechanics involved with different pathologies that may cause dynamic cord compressions. This study has introduced new protocol for acquiring an extension view of cervical MRI to assess dynamic cervical spinal canal compromise. We posit that dynamic MRI comprising extension view in prone position could be a practical option when deciding the best approach in treating challenging patients.

Identification of ITPR1 gene as a novel target for hsa-miR-34b-5p in non-obstructive azoospermia: a Ca/apoptosis pathway cross-talk.

MiR-34b-5p has been reported as a non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for infertility. However, no gene targets regulating the mechanism of cation of this miRNA are known. In this study, using gene set enrichment analysis the Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor Type 1 (ITPR1) gene was identified as the sole target for hsa-miR-34b-5p, and found significantly overexpressed in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients.
