EVALUATING ANTHRACYCLINE CARDIOTOXICITY ASSOCIATED SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS IN A PAEDIATRIC COHORT WITH EARLY ONSET CARDIOMYOPATHY

Evaluating anthracycline cardiotoxicity associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in a paediatric cohort with early onset cardiomyopathy

Abstract Background Anthracyclines are a mainstay of chemotherapy.However, a relatively frequent adverse outcome of anthracycline treatment is cardiomyopathy.Multiple genetic studies have begun to dissect the complex genetics underlying cardiac sensitivity to the anthracycline drug class.A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been

Liquid biopsies to occult brain metastasis

Abstract Brain metastasis (BrM) is a major problem associated with cancer-related mortality, and currently, no specific biomarkers receiver kit are available in clinical settings for early detection.Liquid biopsy is widely accepted as a non-invasive method for diagnosing cancer and other diseases.We have reviewed the evidence that shows how the mol

A Stochastic Computing Scheme of Embedding Random Bit Generation and Processing in Computational Random Access Memory (SC-CRAM)

Stochastic computing (SC) has emerged as a promising solution for performing complex functions on large amounts of data to meet Brake Pads future computing demands.However, the hardware needed to generate random bit-streams using conventional CMOS-based technologies drastically increases the area and delay cost.Area costs can be reduced using spint

Forward Simulation of Multi-Frequency Microwave Brightness Temperature over Desert Soils in Kuwait and Comparison with Satellite Observations

In this study, we address the variations of bare soil surface microwave brightness temperatures and evaluate the performance of a dielectric mixing model over the desert of Kuwait.We use data collected in a field survey and data obtained from NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), European Space Agency Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Ad
