This study aims to describe the Asian American community’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, California,…[Read more]

Nervous system (NS) affection may occur in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), but its clinical manifestations and pathophysiology are rarely described. Our aims are to characterize central and peripheral NS (CNS/PNS) involvement and compare biological markers in EGPA patients with and without neurological manifestations.…[Read more]

cancers was modest. Although HCC risk was highest with cirrhosis, substantial excess risk was also found with noncirrhotic fibrosis and comorbid diabetes.Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest cancers because of late symptom manifestation leading to delayed diagnosis, which limits patients with HCC in terms of receiving curative…[Read more]

ABO-incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs) are widely practiced; however, the delay in erythrocyte engraftment can be problematic. While erythrocyte engraftment is usually indicated by an increase in reticulocyte levels without the need for erythrocyte transfusions, the disappearance of recipient-derived anti-A/B…[Read more]

Numerous studies on risk factors, clinical presentation and treatment of hepatitis C are known to the world.

The recent accomplishments in obtaining strong ferromagnetic exchange interactions in organic diradicals have made the field quite fascinating and even more promising toward its technological applications. In this context, herein, we report a unique combination of remarkably strong ferromagnetic exchange interactions coupled with molecular…[Read more]

The review highlights the recent advances in the field of AD research and showed that still the battle for the discovery of an effective drug for AD is in process and AD still remains an incurable disease for which treatment is just palliative.

The review might be helpful for researchers working on multi target directed ligands against…[Read more]

clusters of broad interest identified include those associated with bioremediation, biocontrol, plant growth promotion, or environmental adaptation. This dataset unveils various un-/underexplored metabolic or biosynthetic potential of P. fragi and provides insight into molecular mechanisms underpinning these attributes.

Some natural compounds…[Read more]

Cesarean section scar pregnancy is the rarest form of ectopic pregnancy. Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy poses a diagnostic and management challenge, and if not diagnosed and adequately treated in early pregnancy, it may lead to considerable maternal morbidity or mortality. We describe the presentation, workup including radiology studies, and…[Read more]
