Global variations in funding and use of hemodialysis accesses: an international report using the ISN Global Kidney Health Atlas

Abstract Background There is a lack of contemporary data describing global variations in vascular access for hemodialysis (HD). We used the third iteration of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to ...

Biological Potential of <i>Tsuga canadensis</i>: A Study on Seed, Cone Essential Oils, and Seed Lipophilic Extract

This study investigates the essential oil (EO) isolated from the seeds and cones of Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), highlighting notable differences in their chemical composition and biological activities. The seed EO was uniquely domi...

Early urate-lowering therapy in gouty arthritis with acute flares: a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial

Abstract Background Gouty arthritis (GA) is a chronic systemic disease with recurrent acute monoarthritis. In a previous study, a higher incidence of acute flares was observed during the initial marked decrease in serum urate level. Our stu...

Accumulation of tissue-resident natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells, and CD8+ T cells towards the center of human lung tumors

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite recent advances in tissue immunology, little is known about the spatial distribution of tissue-resident lymphocyte subsets in lung tumors. Using high-parameter flow c...

Antibacterial activity of selenium nanoparticles/copper oxide (SeNPs/CuO) nanocomposite against some multi-drug resistant clinical pathogens

Abstract Background Recent advances in nanomedicine have derived novel prospects for development of various bioactive nanoparticles and nanocomposites with significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. This study aims to investigate ...

Worldwide productivity and research trend of publications concerning extracellular vesicles role in fibrosis: A bibliometric study from 2013 to 2022

Background: Fibrosis is a heavy burden on the global healthcare system. Recently, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that Extracellular vesicles play an important role in intercellular communication under both physiological a...

Basic and Clinical Immunology.

This text and review has been updated and revised since the last edition in 1974. The normal immunologic function and disease processes are presented clearly. New features include emphasis on normal immunologic function and disease processe...

Ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy better preserves B- and T-cell immunity than conventional fractionated radiotherapy in prostate cancer.

Characterization of Primate Antibody Responses to Administered Murine Monoclonal Immunoglobulin

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) are currently being assessed for their utility as tools in cancer management. Anti-murine immunoglobulin responses have been observed in many patients receiving monoclonal antibody treatment. In this study...

The critical involvement of monocytes/macrophages in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome: New evidence from Mendelian randomization and single-cell sequencing

Background: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) stands as a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by an elusive pathogenesis. The synergy of single-cell RNA sequencing and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis provides an opportunity to com...

Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

The Advances of Single-Cell RNA-Seq in Kidney Immunology

Kidney diseases are highly prevalent and treatment is costly. Immune cells play important roles in kidney diseases; however, it has been challenging to investigate the contribution of each cell type in kidney pathophysiology. Recently, the ...

Serum Bilirubin Level Changes in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder of the Central Nervous System (CNS). In addition to the role of immune mediated mechanisms, oxidative and nitrosative stress also play an important role in neuropathology of MS...

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DN...
