Enhancing Breast Density Assessment in Mammograms Through Artificial Intelligence.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Early detection through mammography significantly improves outcomes, with breast density acting as both a risk factor and a key interpretive feature. Although the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) provides standardized density categories, assessments are often subjective and variable.

EPEC autotransporter adhesin (Eaa): a novel adhesin identified in atypical enteropathogenic .

Enteropathogenic (EPEC) is a pathogen that causes diarrhea that can be subdivided into typical (tEPEC) and atypical (aEPEC), based on the production of an adhesin termed Bundle-Forming Pilus (BFP) in the former group. aEPEC is one of the main bacterial pathogens isolated from individuals with diarrhea, and some serotypes have been implicated in diarrheal outbreaks in Brazil, such as the O2:H16. A comparative genomic analysis of aEPEC of this serotype led to the identification of a gene encoding a previously uncharacterized autotransporter protein.

Different Polymorphisms of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Genes are Associated with Poorer Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Older Adults.

Introduction: Adequate blood pressure control (BPC) is crucial for preventing hypertension, as well as for mitigating the risks associated with inadequate control among hypertensive older adults. Identifying modifiable factors (i.e.
