A randomized comparative effectiveness trial to evaluate two programs for promotion of physical activity after spinal cord injury in manual wheelchair users by Jenna M. Martinez, Jenna M. Martinez, Lisa L. Haubert, Valerie J. Eberly, Walter B. Weiss, Jeffery W. Rankin

“…At final evaluation, diastolic blood pressure after a 6-Minute Push Test was significantly lower in the WODAA group, while no differences were found in distance traveled, systolic, or pre-test diastolic blood pressures. Metabolic bloodwork and shoulder pain scores did not change and were similar between groups.ConclusionDepending on the measure used, these findings suggest that a WODAA approach to PA is comparable or more effective than a traditional PACE program in promoting physical activity in low-active manual wheelchair users with paraplegia.…”

Predicting patient outcomes with gene-expression biomarkers from colorectal cancer organoids and cell lines by Alexandra Razumovskaya, Mariia Silkina, Mariia Silkina, Mariia Silkina, Andrey Poloznikov, Timur Kulagin, Maria Raigorodskaya, Nina Gorban, Anna Kudryavtseva, Maria Fedorova, Boris Alekseev, Alexander Tonevitsky, Alexander Tonevitsky, Alexander Tonevitsky, Sergey Nikulin, Sergey Nikulin, Sergey Nikulin

“…Three main chemotherapeutic drugs used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer are 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan which is metabolized to an active compound SN-38. The main goal of this study was to find the genes connected to the resistance to the aforementioned drugs and to construct a predictive gene expression-based classifier to separate responders and non-responders.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed gene expression profiles of seven patient-derived CRC organoids and performed correlation analyses between gene expression and IC50 values for the three standard-of-care chemotherapeutic drugs. …”

Causal linkage between adult height and kidney function: An integrated population-scale observational analysis and Mendelian randomization study. by Sehoon Park, Soojin Lee, Yaerim Kim, Yeonhee Lee, Min Woo Kang, Kwangsoo Kim, Yong Chul Kim, Seung Seok Han, Hajeong Lee, Jung Pyo Lee, Kwon Wook Joo, Chun Soo Lim, Yon Su Kim, Dong Ki Kim

“…In observational analysis, adult height was inversely associated with both eGFRcreatinine (per 1 SD, adjusted beta -1.039, standard error 0.129, P < 0.001) and eGFRcystatinC (adjusted beta -1.769, standard error 0.161, P < 0.001) in a multivariable model adjusted for clinicodemographic, anthropometric, metabolic, and social factors. Moreover, multivariable summary-level MR showed that a taller genetically predicted adult height was causally linked to a lower log-eGFRcreatinine (adjusted beta -0.007, standard error 0.001, P < 0.001) and a higher risk of CKDcreatinine (adjusted beta 0.083, standard error 0.019, P < 0.001). …”
