Following treatment 40% of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients suffer disease recurrence. In certain cancers circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumour-derived DNA (ctDNA) characteristics correlate closely with disease burden, making them exciting potential sources of biomarkers. Despite this, the circulating nucleic acid characteristics of only 2 STS patients have been reported to...

ObjectiveRisk stratification of cardiac surgery patients is usually based on the Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score, that has limited predictive value in older persons. We aimed assessing whether Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) improves, beyond STS assessment hospital prognosis undergoing elective surgery.MethodsAll aged 75+ years referred for to Careggi University Hospital (Floren...

Mouse A9 cells containing human chromosome 7 tagged with pSV2neo were irradiated with X-rays and fused to A9 cells to isolate G418-resistant clones. From these clones, we selected radiation hybrids that contained 10-40 Mb of human DNA apparently at a single site of their genome by FISH analysis using human repetitive sequences as a probe. Then we made a panel of hybrids that contained various f...

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) National Database has three major component databases: the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD), the STS Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD), and the STS General Thoracic Surgery Database (GTSD). Beginning in January 2016, The Annals of Thoracic Surgery began publishing a monthly series of scholarly articles on outcomes analysis, quality improvem...

The STS marker MWG699/TaqI is closely linked to the vrs1 locus and has been proposed as a marker of domestication in barley. This study included 257 cultivated barleys of both two- and six-rowed varieties, mainly from the western Mediterranean region. These included many landraces from the Spanish barley core collection, Moroccan landraces, and a set of accessions from other European countries....

Cyanide is a highly toxic cellular poison that requires immediate and aggressive treatments. Combination of sodium nitrite (SN) and sodium thiosulfate (STS) is the treatment of choice but oral treatment of alpha-ketoglutarate (A-KG) has also been shown to significantly antagonize cyanide poisoning in laboratory animals. This study reports the efficacy of various treatment regimens as: (i) repea...

In the context of increasing internationalization science and technology studies (STS) field, reflections on post-coloniality provincialization STS, we examine to what extent a set twelve leading journals field have published papers from different regions worldwide. this exploratory work, based information retrieved Web Science for period 2010–2019, often use Latin America as an example, but re...

This paper describes SVCSTS, a system that was submitted in SemEval-2015 Task 2: Semantic Textual Similarity(STS)(Agirre et al., 2015). The task has 3 subtasks viz., English STS, Spanish STS and Interpretable STS. SVCSTS uses Monolingual word aligner (Sultan et al., May 2014), supervised machine learning, Google and Bing translator API’s. Various runs of the system outperformed all other partic...

The easy availability of food has caused a shift from eating for survival to hedonic eating. Women, compared to men, have shown to respond differently to food cues in the environment on a behavioral and a neural level, in particular to energy rich (compared to low energy) foods. It has been demonstrated that the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) is the only region exhibiting greate...
