Predicting unplanned readmission due to cardiovascular disease in hospitalized patients with cancer: a machine learning approach

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in cancer patients can affect the risk of unplanned readmissions, which have been reported to be costly and associated with worse mortality and prognosis. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using machine learning techniques in predicting the risk of unplanned 180-day readmission attributable to CVD among hospitalized cancer patients using […]

A genome-wide association study of blood cell morphology identifies cellular proteins implicated in disease aetiology

Abstract Blood cells contain functionally important intracellular structures, such as granules, critical to immunity and thrombosis. Quantitative variation in these structures has not been subjected previously to large-scale genetic analysis. We perform genome-wide association studies of 63 flow-cytometry derived cellular phenotypes—including cell-type specific measures of granularity, nucleic acid content and reactivity—in 41,515 participants in the […]

Gut-lung axis: Scientists connect cruciferous vegetables to lung health in infections

18 Aug 2023 — Molecules in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli or kale may help maintain a healthy lung barrier and ease infection, according to new research on mice. These molecules help to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a protein that signals cells to respond to environmental stressors or infections. AHR helps to prevent […]

Atezolizumab and paclitaxel as first line therapy in advanced triple-negative breast cancer patients included in the French early access program

Abstract Following the results of the IMpassion130 trial, an early access program (EAP) was opened in France, allowing patients with PD-L1-positive advanced triple negative breast cancer (aTNBC) to receive a combination of paclitaxel and atezolizumab as first line therapy. This EAP was later discontinued when the IMpassion131 trial read out with negative results. We performed […]

Dinkins trial: Blood, fingerprint evidence was scarce

No blood detected; one fingerprint. That’s what three examiners from the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, concluded and testified to during testimony Thursday about the forensic evidence available in the 2020 murder of Breasia Terrell. Henry Dinkins’ trial in the kidnapping and death of Breasia was in its sixth day in Scott County. The 10-year-old […]
