Abstract

To validate, in a multicenter clinical trial, the performance of biomarkers and algorithms for differential diagnosis in a population of women diagnosed with an unknown ovarian cyst or pelvic tumor. Six hospitals in Western Sweden consecutively enrolled 638 women from September 2013 to February 2016. Serum, transvaginal ultrasound data, and basic patient characteristics were collected preoperatively. Biomarker levels, risk of malignancy algorithm (ROMA), and risk of malignancy index (RMI) were calculated and compared with the final pathology report. Our sample of 638 patients had 445 benign, 31 borderline, and 162 malignant tumors recorded, and the overall incidence of epithelial ovarian cancer was 21%. In postmenopausal women, RMI (>200), ROMA (≥29.9), CA125 (>35 U/mL), and HE4 (>140 pmol/L) showed sensitivity at 89%, 91%, 92%, and 72%, respectively, and specificity at 80%, 77%, 80%, and 92%. In premenopausal women, sensitivity of RMI, ROMA (≥11.6), CA125, and HE4 (>70 pmol/L) was 87%, 87%, 96%, and 83%, respectively, and specificity was 90%, 81%, 60%, 91%. Diagnostic accuracy (ROC AUC) of RMI and ROMA in postmenopausal women was 0.85 and 0.84, and in premenopausal women, 0.90 and 0.81. Our results suggest that CA125 is superi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
