Mutation rates and fitness consequences of mosaic chromosomal alterations in blood

Abstract Mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are common in cancers and can arise decades before diagnosis. A quantitative understanding of the rate at which these events occur, and their functional consequences, could improve cancer risk prediction and our understanding of somatic evolution. Using mCA clone size estimates from the blood of approximately 500,000 UK Biobank participants, […]

An analytical method informed by clinical imaging data for estimating outlet boundary conditions in computational fluid dynamics analysis of carotid artery blood flow

Abstract Stroke occur mainly due to arterial thrombosis and rupture of cerebral blood vessels. Previous studies showed that blood flow-induced wall shear stress is an essential bio marker for estimating atherogenesis. It is a common practice to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to calculate wall shear stress and to quantify blood flow. Reliability of […]

Civil Air Patrol Operation Pulse Lift supports Armed Services Blood Program Cadet Summer Training Blood Drives

The Armed Services Blood Program has worked with U.S. Army Cadet Command for over a decade, connecting lifesaving and selfless service. The ASBP blood drives held during Cadet Summer Training in Fort Knox, Kentucky, are always a success because of command support. The events of 2023 were no different, with the summer having another round of […]

Stock image | Photo by dragana991/iStock/Getty Images Plus, St. George News FEATURE — Are you looking to learn more about cardiovascular fitness and its benefits? Look no further! What is cardiovascular fitness? Cardiovascular fitness can range in intensity from low to high, where your heart rate is raised and you are breathing more heavily than […]

Possible Link Found Between Long Covid And Earlier Cold Infection

It’s easy to forget coronaviruses existed long before the covid pandemic, but new research into long covid found that a previous infection of a common cold-causing coronavirus may explain why some people suffer from persistent symptoms. Also in the news: covid is here to stay, as a new normal. Boston Herald: A Pre-Pandemic Infection Could […]

Effects of apparent temperature on cardiovascular disease admissions in rural areas of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture

Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major threat to public health worldwide. The relationship between CVD and temperature has been widely reported in developed countries and regions. However, there are few studies of severe CVD in poor rural areas of developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between CVD and apparent temperature […]

Higher incidence of hematuria was observed in female children with microtia

Abstract The goals of this study were to investigate the incidence and characteristics of hematuria in patients with microtia, and to clarify that more attention should be paid to renal dysfunction in patients with microtia. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of a total 9447 children diagnosed with microtia (selected as study group, 7037 children) […]
