SARS-CoV-2 infection and venous thromboembolism after surgery: an international prospective cohort study
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis from an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency patients undergoing surgery during October 2020. Patients from all surgical specialties were included. The primary outcome measure was venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) within 30 da…
Quercetin and MicroRNA Interplay in Apoptosis Regulation in Ovarian Cancer
The multifaceted nature of ovarian cancer has severely hampered the development of effective therapeutics over the years. The complicate nature of ovarian cancer makes it therapeutically challenging, therefore, there has been a renewed interest in phytochemistry. Phytochemicals have emerged as a potential therapeutic option due to less side effects. Moreover, the signaling inhibition properties have also been studied extensively in recent times. A growing number of data obtained via high-throughput technologies has started to delineate the complex oncogenic signaling networks, thus broadening the therapeutic opportunities. Within the network, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a ve…
