No. US 2018/02991 A1, US 2021/0007638 A1, and US 2021/0022650 A1 [publications], and US 10,786,188 B1 [granted]), has been developed to find pre-neoplastic/neoplastic cells in vivo in a quantitative electrochemical manner by tracing hypoxia glycolysis byproducts. Matched pathological evaluations with response peaks of CDP were found based on the presence of neoplasia (from atypia to invasive carcinoma) in live breast tissues. The ability of CDP to find neoplastic lesions in mice models in vivo and fresh breast tumors in vitro was verified with sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 97%, respectively. The system may help a surgeon assistant system for usage in the operating room after passing many trials and standard examinations in the future.The hair follicle (HF) is an exquisite skin appendage endowed with cyclical regenerative capacity; however, de novo follicle formation does not naturally occur. Consequently, patients suffering from extensive skin damage or hair loss are deprived of the HF critical physiological and/or aesthetic functions, severally compromising skin function and the individual's psychosocial well-being. Translation of regenerative strategies has been prevented by the loss of trichogenic capacity that relevant cell populations undergo in culture and by the lack of suitable human-based in vitro testing platforms. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the major difficulties associated with HF regeneration and the approaches used to overcome these drawbacks. We describe key cellular requirements and discuss the importance of the HF extracellular matrix and associated signaling for HF regeneration. Finally, we summarize the strategies proposed so far to bioengineer human HF or hair-bearing skin models and disclose future trends for the field.

To determine common clinical and biological traits in 2 individuals with variants in

and

, displaying severe and recurrent rhabdomyolyses and lactic acidosis.

We performed a clinical characterization of 2 distinct individuals with biallelic

or

variants from 2 separate families and a biological characterization with muscle and cells from those patients.

The individual with

variants was clinically more affected than the individual with

variants. Affected FDX2 individual fibroblasts and myoblasts showed reduced oxygen consumption rates and mitochondrial complex I and PDHc activities, associated with high levels of blood FGF21. ISCU individual fibroblasts showed no oxidative phosphorylation deficiency and moderate increase of blood FGF21 levels relative to controls. The severity of the FDX2 individual was not due to dysfunctional autophagy. Iron was excessively accumulated in ISCU-deficient skeletal muscle, which was accompanied by a downregulation of

and

genes and an upregulation of frataxin (

) gene expression. This excessive iron accumulation was absent from FDX2 affected muscle and could not be correlated with variable gene expression in muscle cells.

We conclude that

and

variants result in a similar muscle phenotype, that differ in severity and skeletal muscle iron accumulation. ISCU and FDX2 are not involved in mitochondrial iron influx contrary to frataxin.

We conclude that FDX2 and ISCU variants result in a similar muscle phenotype, that differ in severity and skeletal muscle iron accumulation. ISCU and FDX2 are not involved in mitochondrial iron influx contrary to frataxin.In the last century, the emergence of in silico tools has improved the quality of healthcare studies by providing high quality predictions. In the case of COVID-19, these tools have been advantageous for bioinformatics analysis of SARS-CoV-2 structures, studying potential drugs and introducing drug targets, investigating the efficacy of potential natural product components at suppressing COVID-19 infection, designing peptide-mimetic and optimizing their structure to provide a better clinical outcome, and repurposing of the previously known therapeutics. These methods have also helped medical biotechnologists to design various vaccines; such as multi-epitope vaccines using reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics methods, among which some of them have showed promising results through in vitro, in vivo and clinical trial studies. Moreover, emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have helped to classify the previously known data and use them to provide precise predictions and make plan for future of the pandemic condition. At this contemporary review, by collecting related information from the collected literature on valuable data sources; such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, we tried to provide a brief outlook regarding the importance of in silico tools in managing different aspects of COVID-19 pandemic infection and how these methods have been helpful to biomedical researchers.

The new EuroCTO CASTLE Score was validated against the widely adopted Japanese Multicenter CTO Registry (J-CTO) score in predicting technical success in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO).

A total of 463 patients treated by CTO PCI were included in a retrospective analysis. Result The mean CASTLE score was 2.23±1.1 and J-CTO score was 2.84±1.0. The overall technical success rate was 83.2%. At 30days follow up, a primary composite safety endpoint showed a low proportion of stent thrombosis (0.2%) and re-hospitalization (0.4%). Moreover, an improvement of clinical symptoms was found in 83% of patients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC) demonstrated a comparable overall discriminatory performance in predicting technical outcome CASTLE score, area under the ROC curve (AUC) 0.668, 95% CI 0.606-0.730; J-CTO score AUC 0.692, 95% CI 0.631-0.752; Comparison of AUCs p=0.324. Those findings were even consistent in more complex procedures CASTLE Score≥4 and J-CTO score≥3 CASTLE Score AUC 0.514, 95% CI 0.409-0.619; J-CTO score, AUC 0.617, 95% CI 0.493-0.741; Comparison of AUCs p=0.211. Furthermore, increasing score values are accompanied by a longer examination and fluoroscopy time, more contrast medium and a higher dose area product.

Compared to the widely accepted J-CTO score, the new introduced EuroCTO CASTLE score demonstrated a comparable overall discriminatory performance in predicting technical outcomes in CTO PCI.

Data were analyzed using fixed effects ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models from the Online Panel Survey of Social Stratification and Psychology in 2020 (SSPW2020-Panel), which was conducted in four waves in June 2020, September 2020, December 2020, and March 2021. The results reveal that COVID-19 spread in a prefecture had differential effects on subjective well-being in prefectures with high infection rates positive effects for socially advantaged individuals and negative effects for socially disadvantaged individuals. In conclusion, social inequality in Japan, in terms of subjective well-being, has been widened by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020.Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic recurrent debilitating condition that affects the skin near to the follicular glands. The disease manifests with the formation of abscesses that can be complicated by rupture, sinus tracts, and scarring leading to pain, chronic discharge, malodor, and scar contractures. The management of HS is multidisciplinary, involving general lifestyle modification, medical treatment, and surgery. A wide range of surgical interventions has been described for HS disease control and management. However, surgical management strategies are highly variable. We describe the case of a 33-year-old female with refractory HS which was reconstructed with Matriderm® and an immediate split-thickness skin graft. Acellular dermal skin substitutes may be an alternative to conventional means of HS reconstruction, producing subtle, pliable, and durable skin.Movement sensor data from seven static and dynamic dog behaviors (sitting, standing, lying down, trotting, walking, playing, and (treat) searching i.e. sniffing) was collected from 45 middle to large sized dogs with six degree-of-freedom movement sensors attached to the collar and the harness. With 17 dogs the collection procedure was repeated. The duration of each of the seven behaviors was approximately three minutes. The order of the tasks was varied between the dogs and the two repetitions (for the 17 dogs). The behaviors were annotated post-hoc based on the video recordings made with two camcorders during the tests with one second resolution. The annotations were accurately synchronized with the raw movement sensors data. The annotated data was originally used for training behavior classification machine learning algorithms for classifying the seven behaviors. The developed signal processing and classification algorithms are provided together with the raw measurement data and reference annotations. The description and results of the original investigation that the dataset relates to are found in P. Kumpulainen, A. Valldeoriola Cardó, S. Somppi, H. Törnqvist, H. Väätäjä, P. Majaranta, Y.

Non-invasive and low-cost virtual reality (VR) technology is important for early evaluation and intervention in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This study aimed to demonstrate the current status of overseas and domestic research as well as the focus and frontier of VR technology among individuals with MCI through a bibliometric analysis.

Studies from the core collection of Web of Science™ between 1995 and 2020 were used; furthermore, CiteSpace 5.7 R3 was utilized to analyse information on authors/cited authors, keywords, burst words, and cited references.

In total, 230 publications were identified. Most studies were published in the USA (45 publications) and Italy (41 publications), where Guiseppe Riva ranks first (14 publications), and Tarnanas I is the author with the highest centrality (0.44). The hot topics in VR applications in the MCI population are 'physical activity,' 'people,' 'single-blind,' 'disease,' 'walking,' 'technology,' 'working memory,' and 'risk' in recent years. The keyword 'mild cognitive impairment' has attracted extensive attention since 2012, showing the strongest citation outbreak (8.28). The clustering results of the literature show the research types and emerging trends, including 'exergame,' 'serious games,' 'spatial navigation,' 'activities of daily living,' 'exercise,' 'enriched environment' and 'wayfinding.'

Cognitive assessment and nonpharmacological intervention research on patients with MCI have become the focus of dementia prevention in recent years. Virtual technology, combined with traditional methods such as exercise therapy, provides new ideas for innovative cognitive evaluation and cognitive intervention.
