Novel and Validated Inflammation-Based Prognosis Score
Introduction Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a group of B cell-derived malignant tumors with obvious heterogeneity.1 After obtaining standardized treatment, a sizeable portion of DLBCL patients can be cured and survive for a long time. However, roughly one-third of DLBCL patients experience drug resistance and disease recurrence.2,3 Therefore, it…

Discovering novel clues of natural selection on four worldwide goat breeds
Environmental factors are one of the forces influencing agricultural and the livestock sectors. Animals exposed to stressful environments exhibit various adaptive mechanisms, such as behavioural, physiological, endocrine, cellular, metabolic and biochemical for minimising the stressful conditions. Thus, adaptation is the natural strategy to ensure both welfare and efficiency. The action…

Ocular MG Should Be Considered in Patients With Ptosis, Diplopia, Says Study
In the absence of a standardized definition of ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) from established diagnostic criteria, researchers of a new retrospective, single-center study say that OMG should be considered in patients with both ptosis and diplopia, particularly vertical diplopia. Further, they suggest that high acetylcholine receptor auto-antibody (AchR Ab) titer,…

Genetic diversity and selection in Puerto Rican horses
Horses have been considered one of our most prized possessions, used for travel, work, food, and pleasure for at least five and a half millennia17,18,19,20. Nevertheless, the ancestry of various horse breeds and their characteristic traits remains unclear21. In this paper, we describe the patterns and the origins of genetic…
What is SNP array testing?
What is SNP array testing? The SNP array test looks for changes in specific areas of a person’s chromosomes, such as gains (duplications) or losses (deletions). These gains or losses result in extra or missing copies of genetic material. How does SNP array work? SNP array is a type of…
