Currently, there is no reliable biomarker for use in diagnosing alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Such a biomarker would aid in making an early diagnosis of AFP-negative HCC, ensuring the timely initiation of treatment. This study examined AFP-L3 and Golgi protein 73 (GP73) as candidate biomarkers for AFP-negative HCC. The affinity adsorption method and enzyme-lin...

Ruthenium L3-edge X-ray absorption (XA) spectroscopy probes unoccupied 4d orbitals of the metal atom and is increasingly being used to investigate the local electronic structure in ground and excited electronic states of Ru complexes. The simultaneous development of computational tools for simulating Ru L3-edge spectra is crucial for interpreting the spectral features at a molecular level. This...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between spinal canal cross-sectional area (SCCSA) at stenosis level, areas multifidus (MF) muscle L3-S1 levels, and psoas (PSCSA) L3 level in patients with nerve compression due lumbar stenosis. Methods: A total 280 were included study, 140 control group that had been detected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). patients' ages, gen...

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir questões metodológicas relacionadas à aquisição de terceira língua (L3) por sujeitos surdos usuários nativos da Libras (L1), do Português Brasileiro segunda (L2) e aprendizes inglês ou outra adicional (L3), a partir uma revisão literatura. Embora tenha sido oficializada no Brasil pela Lei nº 10.436 2002, os estudos que investigam línguas adicionais esses a...

The ingested microfilariae develop into the infective third-stage larvae (L3) after several molts. These L3 migrate to the mosquito head and mouthparts where they are deposited in hemolymph onto mammalian skin during subsequent blood meals. After the deposited L3 enter the host through the mosquito bite wound, they molt to fourth-stage larvae (L4). The L4 then migrate through the tissues toward...
