Filter ventilation and the risk associated with cigarette smoking
It has long been clear that cigarette smoking is causally linked to many diseases, particularly lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and various forms of cardiovascular disease. For lung cancer, for example, a meta-analysis my colleagues and I conducted, based on epidemiological evidence published in the 1900s [1], estimated that current smoker/never smoker relative risks, were around 10 in North America
Epidemiology of United States ocular injuries at home in preschool age children from 2000-2019
Injuries to the eye are a common cause of emergency department (ED) visits in the pediatric age group. There were nearly 14 million ED visits for traumatic injuries in children under age 5 in 2017 in the US, and most of these occurred at a private residence [1]. The highest number of pediatric ED visits for ocular injury were reported in children ages 1-5.
Effect of educational level on Alzheimer's disease-related biomarkers: Commentary
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairments that might be accompanied by declines in activities of daily living, neuropsychiatric disorders and a loss of motor function [1,2]. At present, the prevalence of dementia of Alzheimer’s type (DAT) is approximately 4% among elderly people [3]. With the increase in the aging the population, the number of individuals with DAT is still increasing.
Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of lacunar ischemic stroke in Burkina Faso
Stroke is the most common cause of disability and the number two cause of death worldwide. The TOAST classification denotes five subtypes of ischemic stroke, large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, stroke of other determined etiology and stroke of undetermined etiology.
Identification and validation of N7-methylguanosine-associated gene NCBP1 as prognostic and Prognostic immune-associated biomarkers in breast cancer patients
Epigenetics is the study of heritable modifications to gene expression, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and RNA modifications, that do not alter the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding gene. Recently, RNA modification has emerged as a novel research focus. We have detected over 170 different RNA modifications, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N7-methylguanosine (m7G), 5-methylcytosine (m5C), N1-methyladenosine (m1A), N3-methylcytosine (m3C), and pseudouridine (ψ).These modifications are important for biological processes like RNA metabolism and post-transcriptional regulation.
