Shell color is regarded as an economic trait in many breeding programs of bivalve mollusks, but the relationship between shell color and production traits remains controversial. In our breeding program of Crassostrea gigas, solid white, black, and orange shell lines were obtained, and second-generation (F2) and testcross families with segregating s...

Background: South Africa (SA) has the highest incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there is limited research on CRC recurrence and survival in SA. CRC recurrence and overall survival are highly variable across studies. Accurate prediction of patients at risk can enhance clinical expectations and decisions withi...

Over the past three decades, coral populations have declined across the tropical and subtropical oceans because of thermal stress, coral diseases, and pollution. Restoration programs are currently attempting to re-establish depauperate coral populations along the Florida reef tract. We took an integrated Bayesian approach to determine which Florida...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the prognostic value of associating pre-treatment neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with circulating tumor cells counts (CTCs) in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Materials and Methods We collected the related data of 72 patients with gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) who received ...

Background: Diffuse lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) are infiltrative and heterogeneous neoplasms. Gene signature including multiple protein-coding genes (PCGs) is widely used as a tumor marker. This study aimed to construct a multi-PCG signature to predict survival for LGG patients. Methods: LGG data including PCG expression profiles and clinical inform...

Background: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart defect (CHD) characterised by the underdevelopment of the left side of the heart with varying levels of hypoplasia of the left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve and aortic arch. In the UK, age 12 survival for cases born between 1991 and 1993 was 21%. UK...

Many breast lesions are associated with microcalcifications that are detectable by mammography. In most cases, radiologists are able to distinguish calcifications usually associated with benign diseases from those associated with malignancy. In addition to their value in the early detection of breast carcinoma and accurate radiological diagnosis, t...

To assess the value and accuracy of gestational age at diagnosis in predicting postnatal outcomes of prenatally diagnosed congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The medical records of 158 prenatally diagnosed neonates with CDH from 2008 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests, appropriately...

Performance status is an important prognostic tool in cancer. In oncology, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) measure is commonly used. Patient-reported functional status (PRFS) is an emerging method that allows patients to provide an estimate of their function; however, there is limited information about its prognostic significance. The...
