Differentiation of high risk prostate cancer with a facile urinary exosome detection workflow by Shuai Qiu, Yue Li, Zheng Zhang, Chunchang Li, Haoyu Wang, Ao Chen, Zhi Yan, Yang Liu, Zifei Li, Hua Huang, Yi Liu, Yiqi Seow, Ruibing Chen, Jinhong Guo, Simeng Wen, Jing Tian, Hongtuan Zhang, Ranlu Liu, Gang Han, Baolong Wang, Yong Wang, Yuanjie Niu, HaiFang Yin

“…Here, we developed a proprietary urinary exosome isolation approach (EVLatch) and established a facile diagnostic workflow. We discovered that EEF1A1 levels, abundantly expressed on urinary exosomes, positively correlate to urinary exosome counts irrespective of source and collection time and demonstrated that EEF1A1 enables in-assay quantification of urinary exosomes. …”

Architecture et réfection des aqueducs d’Orléans/Cenabum (Loiret) by Julien Courtois, Mathilde Noël, Franck Verneau

“…Downstream of these, the trench of aqueduct B and its masonry conduit were identified during development work and diagnostics over a distance of about 400 m. This structure most certainly continued further south but was never found during the various operations in the area between the last section uncovered and the ancient city and its suburbs.Where observation was possible, it revealed that the masonry conduits of the Fontaine de l’Etuvée aqueducts are built in the classical manner. …”

“…Dexamethasone therapy was weakly associated with a reduction in mortality in both those with proven bacterial meningitis (aOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.28 to 1.17) and with pneumococcal meningitis (aOR 0.47, 95% CI 0.20 to 1.10).Conclusion This study demonstrates that clinical care for patients with meningitis in the UK is not in line with current evidence-based national guidelines. Diagnostics and therapeutics should be targeted for quality improvement strategies. …”
