BACKGROUND: Detecting pre-clinical bladder cancer (BC) using urinary biomarkers may provide a valuable opportunity for screening and management. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations detectable in urine have emerged as promising BC biomarkers. METHODS: We performed a nested case...

Abstract Household survey data from 27 sites in 22 countries were collected in 2017–2018 in order to construct and validate a cross-cultural household-level water insecurity scale. The resultant Household Water Insecurity Experiences (HWISE) scale presents a useful tool for monitoring and evaluating...

Water security requires not only sufficient availability of and access to safe and acceptable quality for domestic uses, but also fair distribution within and across populations. However, a key research gap remains in understanding water security inequality and its dynamics, which in turn creates an...

Bladder cancer (BC) is the 10th most common cancer in the world. While there are FDA-approved urinary assays to detect BC, none have demonstrated sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be integrated into clinical practice. Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT) gene mutations have been identifie...

Somatic mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter region are highly frequent in urothelial cancer (UC), and their detection in urine (cell-free DNA from the urine supernatant or DNA from exfoliated cells in the urine pellet) has demonstrated promising evidence as putative non...

Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. The number of patients related to heart failure due to AF is increasing day by day. Early detection of AF may reduce the risk of death due to heart failure. So, it has become more important to detect AF. There are various method...

Microgrid (MG) creates an alternative way to utilize renewable energy sources to meet the increasing demand of consumers. The generation of power in this arena solely depends on various meteorological factors that may reason to break down the MG performance. Additionally, the operation of MG is subj...
