Exosomal PSM-E Inhibits Macrophage M2 Polarization to Suppress Prostate Cancer Metastasis Through the RACK1 Signaling Axis

Exosomal PSM-E Inhibits Macrophage M2 Polarization to Suppress Prostate Cancer Metastasis via the RACK1 Signaling Axis Academic Background Prostate cancer (PCA) is a prevalent cancer among men and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. While early-stage prostate cancer can be treated with surgery or radiotherapy, approximately one-third...

Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Alterations Between the Aged and Young Mice Prostates

Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Differences Between Aged and Young Mouse Prostates Academic Background The prostate is a vital component of the male reproductive system. As men age, the prostate undergoes hyperplasia, which can lead to urethral compression, resulting in voiding dysfunction and associated symptoms, as well as an increased risk of prost...

Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of a U.S. Hospital-Based Radiology Practice

Academic Background With the intensification of global climate change, the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the environment and human health is becoming increasingly significant. The healthcare sector, as a major consumer of global energy and resources, contributes substantially to carbon emissions. Statistics show that the healthcare se...

Liquid Biopsy versus CT: Comparison of Tumor Burden Quantification in 1065 Patients with Metastases

Comparison of Tumor Burden Quantification between Liquid Biopsy and CT Academic Background In the era of precision medicine, the validation of non-invasive biomarkers faces numerous challenges. Tumor burden, as a potential prognostic marker, has been demonstrated to hold significant value in various studies. Tumor burden refers to the total amount ...

Increased Emergency Department Medical Imaging: Association with Short-Term Exposures to Ambient Heat and Particulate Air Pollution

The Relationship Between Climate Change and Emergency Medical Imaging Utilization Academic Background Climate change and related environmental exposures have significantly impacted human health, leading to increased demand for healthcare services. High-temperature exposure and poor air quality are closely associated with increased emergency departm...

Plasma GFAP and p-tau-181 Association with Synaptic Density at 18F-SynVest-1 PET Imaging

Association of Plasma GFAP and p-tau-181 with Synaptic Density in Alzheimer’s Disease Academic Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau protein aggregates in the brain. Recent research has shown that multiple factors are involved in the dev...

Aquaporin-4 Immunoglobulin G–Seropositive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder MRI Characteristics: Data Analysis from the International Real-World PAMRINO Study Cohort

Research Background Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune central nervous system disease characterized by severe onset and relapse events, including optic neuritis, longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM), brainstem and/or hypothalamic syndromes, and encephalitis.
