Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is expected to worsen the prognosis of inpatients with heart failure (HF) but the evidence from observational studies is inconsistent. We aimed to compare mortality outcomes and life expectancy among inpatients with HF with or without T2D and explored whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) influenced these associations. Methods We collected hospital and civil…

Mashup Score: 2Metagenomic assessment of gut microbial communities and risk of severe COVID-19 - Genome Medicine - 9 month(s) ago
Background The gut microbiome is a critical modulator of host immunity and is linked to the immune response to respiratory viral infections. However, few studies have gone beyond describing broad compositional alterations in severe COVID-19, defined as acute respiratory or other organ failure. Methods We profiled 127 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (n = 79 with severe COVID-19 and 48 with…

Mashup Score: 1Management of penile post-circumcision ischemia by pentoxifylline infusion and hyperbaric oxygen therapy - BMC Urology - 9 month(s) ago
Background Post-circumcision penile ischemia is a devastating complication. We will present our experience in managing children with various forms of penile ischemia. Materials and methods This cohort prospective observational and interventional study was performed on all male children with post-circumcision penile ischemia between April 2017 and October 2021. A designed and approved protocol…

Mashup Score: 0Protein length distribution is remarkably uniform across the tree of life - Genome Biology - 9 month(s) ago
Background In every living species, the function of a protein depends on its organization of structural domains, and the length of a protein is a direct reflection of this. Because every species evolved under different evolutionary pressures, the protein length distribution, much like other genomic features, is expected to vary across species but has so far been scarcely studied. Results Here we…

A study in @GenomeBiology finds that protein length distribution is a remarkably consistent feature across species. This is in contrast to other genomic features, suggesting that protein length may be subject to unique evolutionary constraints. https://t.co/coboUnagpt

Mashup Score: 2The emerging role of MicroRNA-182 in tumorigenesis; a promising therapeutic target - Cancer Cell International - 9 month(s) ago
A wide range of studies have indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs), a type of small single-stranded regulatory RNAs, are dysregulated in a different variety of human cancers. Therefore, they are expected to play important roles in tumorigenesis by functioning as oncogenic (oncomiRs) or tumor-suppressive miRNAs. Subsequently, their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for malignancies has…

Background Suboptimal treatment upon progression may affect overall survival (OS) results in oncology randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We aim to assess the proportion of trials reporting post-progression treatment. Methods This cross-sectional analysis included two concurrent analyses. The first one examined all published RCTs of anti-cancer drugs in six high impact medical/oncology journals…

Mashup Score: 0Effective communications strategies to increase the impact of environmental health research - Environmental Health - 9 month(s) ago
Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are the subject of a growing body of research with the potential to positively impact public and ecological health. However, to effect positive change, findings must be communicated beyond the scientific community. Objective We sought to (a) evaluate the relationships between communications strategy, media attention, and scholarly citations of…

Mashup Score: 0A curated benchmark of enhancer-gene interactions for evaluating enhancer-target gene prediction methods - Genome Biology - 9 month(s) ago
Background Many genome-wide collections of candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) have been defined using genomic and epigenomic data, but it remains a major challenge to connect these elements to their target genes. Results To facilitate the development of computational methods for predicting target genes, we develop a Benchmark of candidate Enhancer-Gene Interactions (BENGI) by integrating…
