NEOPTERIN AND CELLULAR IMMUNE ACTIVATION IN ACTIVE GYNAECOLOGICAL CANCER: SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN NEOPTERIN AND CIRCULATING NUMBER OF HLA-DR EXPRESSING LYMPHOCYTES

Neopterin and Cellular Immune Activation in Active Gynaecological Cancer: Significant Correlation Between Neopterin and Circulating Number of HLA-DR Expressing Lymphocytes

Urine concentrations of neopterin, a marker for the activation of cellular immunity, were determined concomitantly with a large panel of hematological and immunological variables on 24 women with gynaecological cancers (12 uterine cervix, 5 endometrium, 7 ovary).There were 14 women investigated at first diagnosis of carcinoma, and 10 women were stu

Unveiling the relationship between social anxiety, loneliness, motivations, and problematic smartphone use: A network approach

Background: Previous studies suggested social anxiety as an essential risk factor for problematic smartphone use, but the complex interactions and the most influential components affecting this relationship remain unclear.This study capitalizes on network analysis to identify the central factors and possible mediating paths among social anxiety, lo

Convex Obstacles from Travelling Times

We consider situations where rays are reflected according to geometrical optics by a set of unknown obstacles.The aim is to recover information about Stained Glass Suncatcher the obstacles from the travelling-time data of the reflected rays using geometrical methods and observations of singularities.Suppose that, for a disjoint union of finitely ma

Genome wide profiling in oral squamous cell carcinoma identifies a four genetic marker signature of prognostic significance.

BACKGROUND:Cancers of the oral cavity are primarily oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs).Many of the OSCCs present at late stages with an exceptionally poor prognosis.A probable limitation in management of patients with OSCC lies in the insufficient knowledge pertaining to the linkage between copy number alterations in OSCC and oral tumourigenesis
