OBJECTIVE: To know, analyze and compare kidney transplant programs; considering the survival of recipients at 1 and 5 years, from hospitals in Mexico. METHOD: A systematic review was carried out whose search focused on the survival of kidney transplant recipients. All publications found in PubMed and Google from 1963 to 2021 were included. The expectation-maximization algorithm was applied, proposing a mixture of normals, and hierarchical grouping to establish if there is any type of pattern and determine if there is a difference between the percentages...

Efflux transporters are a fundamental component of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, play a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, and represent a key bridge between single cell and population levels. From a biomedical perspective, they play a crucial role in drug resistance (and especially multi-drug resistance, MDR) in a range of systems spanning bacteria and human cancer cells. Typically, multiple efflux transporters are present in these cells, and the efflux transporters transport a range of substrates (with partially overlapping substrates between transporters)...

AIM: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the precision of Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from focal liver lesions (FLLs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched and checked for studies using Sonazoid CEUS to characterize HCC. A comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted, involving data pooling, subgroup analyses, meta-regression, and investigation of publication bias...

BACKGROUND: Rectal cancer poses a significant global health burden. There is a lack of concrete evidence concerning the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) for rectal cancer surgery as compared to laparoscopic and open techniques. To address this gap, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the intraoperative, postoperative, and safety outcomes of robotic surgery in this context. METHODS: MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane library were searched till May 2023 for randomized and non-randomized studies comparing robotic surgery with either laparoscopic or open approach for rectal cancers...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer (PC) continues to rank as one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with the majority of patients being diagnosed with unresectable disease. The implementation of cryoablation-based comprehensive treatment is expected to lead to a reduction in tumor size and potentially achieve complete resection. However, the availability of systematic and evidence-based treatment guidelines for cryoablation in pancreatic cancer is currently limited. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A computerized search was conducted in the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, and Clinicaltrials to retrieve studies published from August 1987 to June 2023...

Aeromonas spp. are the opportunistic pathogens that infect both aquatic and terrestrial homeotherms. They were commonly present in aquatic environments, including effluent, tap water, marine, river, and lake, where they are often isolated from aquatic animals, including fish, molluscs, and crustaceans. The Aeromonas infections can cause sepsis, ulcer, and other symptoms, resulting in the death of massive aquatic animals. Therefore, the prevention and control of Aeromonas is of great significance for the healthy development of aquaculture...

This study explores the factors driving agricultural wages growth in China from 1981 to 2020. We propose a comprehensive framework that combines input-output analysis and structural decomposition analysis to investigate the drivers of agricultural wages growth from four perspectives: supply, demand, industrial linkages, and agricultural support policies. The findings indicate that changes in consumer demand, investment demand, and labor mobility play significant roles in driving the growth of agricultural wages in China...

An important cellular barrier to maintain the stability of the brain's internal and external environment is the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It also prevents harmful substances from entering brain tissue through blood circulation while providing protection for the central nervous system. It should be noted, however, that the intact BBB can be a barrier to the transport of most drugs into the brain via the conventional route of administration, which can prevent them from reaching effective concentrations for the treatment of disorders affecting the central nervous system...

INTRODUCTION: Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers may develop adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), or HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM)/tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP). The evidence is limited regarding other diseases potentially associated with HTLV-1, such as HTLV-1-associated autoimmune diseases. AREA COVERED: We summarized the available information on complications associated with HTLV-1 infection. EXPERT OPINION: Previous studies showed that HTLV-1 carriers have an increased incidence of collagen diseases including Sjögren's syndrome, as well as dysthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis...

BACKGROUND: The responsible use of 3D-printing in medicine includes a context-based quality assurance. Considerable literature has been published in this field, yet the quality of assessment varies widely. The limited discriminatory power of some assessment methods challenges the comparison of results. The total error for patient specific anatomical models comprises relevant partial errors of the production process: segmentation error (SegE), digital editing error (DEE), printing error (PrE)...

Understanding the symptoms of a mental disorder is essential for accurate diagnosis or selecting appropriate treatment targets. Despite this, there is a surprising lack of systematic research on the symptoms of selective mutism (SM). While the DSM-5 defines failure to speak as the only core symptom of SM, sparse research suggests that children with SM may experience additional symptoms. Previous studies have been limited in their identification of symptoms of SM, either by using a predefined set of symptoms or by only asking for anxiety-specific symptoms...
