Article Abstract
Pericytes, the mural cells that envelop small blood vessels, play crucial roles in the formation of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here, we present a protocol for generating a pericyte reporter zebrafish line Ki(pdgfrb-P2A-GAL4-VP16) using a CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockin technique. We describe steps for identifying efficient single guide RNA (sgRNA), constructing donor plasmid, and generating and maintaining the knockin line. We then detail procedures for in vivo imaging of brain pericytes. This protocol is adaptable for creating other knockin lines for specific cell labeling. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zi et al..

Background: Circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with cultural and medical significance. However, certain penile abnormalities-such as hypospadias or webbed penis-may contraindicate the procedure and require specialized care. In low-resource settings, limited access to pediatric urologists often leads to missed or delayed diagnoses.

Purpose: To assess modified folinic acid/leucovorin, fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX; mFFX) versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (GnP) in de novo metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and explore predictive biomarkers.
Patients And Methods: Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to mFFX or GnP with exclusion of germline pathogenic variants in or . The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) between arms with 0.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate clinical applicability of immune mediator's interleukin-16, immunoglobulin E along with eosinophil count in diagnosing COVID-19 and determining its severity.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional case-control study was conducted at Al-Najaf General Hospital, Najaf, Iraq between March and August 2024. 120 participants: 60 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 60 healthy controls which matched cases in terms of age and sex.

Patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thrombosis, and mechanical heart valve (MHV) regularly undergo procedures on a daily basis, for which they require bridging anticoagulation, but this poses significant challenges. Bridging anticoagulation involves temporary interruption of long-term anticoagulation therapy for procedures and continued overlap with short-acting anticoagulants during perioperative period. Heparin-based agents are often used for overlapping in perioperative period to reduce the risk of thromboembolism, but the evidence for benefit particularly in patients with MHV remains limited.

Predictive coding (PC) proposes that our brains work as an inference machine, generating an internal model of the world and minimizing predictions errors (i.e., differences between external sensory evidence and internal prediction signals).
