Abstract Objective To evaluate circulating levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and DM associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in plasma samples from DM patients and matched healthy controls.Plasm
Discord between molecular and morphological datasets was observed in two pairs of species of Australian millipedes in the family Paradoxosomatidae using morphological and molecular phylogenetic Olives analysis (mitochondrial COI rDNA and 16 rRNA, and nuclear 28S rRNA).Close to the presumed distributional boundary between Pogonosternum nigrovirgatum
Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent form of malignancy characterized by significant heterogeneity.The development of a specific prediction model is of utmost importance to improve therapy alternatives.The presence of H.pylori can elicit pyroptosis, a notable carcinogenic process.Furthermore, the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs is often empl
Liquid-liquid equilibrium data is imperatively needed for the design of separation processes, particularly solvent extraction.The experimental measuring approach is complex and costly for a great number of chemical systems, and hence the need for reliable predictive models.A great number of thermodynamic models have been developed and are reported
