Pros and Cons of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anaemia

1. Short Communication Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and iron deficiency (AD) are very common specially in low-income countries [1]. People can suffer from symptoms of anaemia in the absence of anaemia itself if they have decreased iron stores as red blood cells and tissue will not receive enough iron from the plasma when iron stores …

Clinical Utility of Exosomal Micrornas for Colorectal Cancer

1. Abstract Exosomes are nanometer-sized membrane vesicles secreted by normal or cancer cells, which participate in intercellular communication by transporting RNAs and proteins. Recent studies have found that some differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes play key roles in the initiation and development of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) and are potential candidates for CRC detection. In …

Potential of Absorption, Capillary Effect and Sponge-Effect in Endoscopic-Assisted Therapy for Leaks and Fistulas

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Anastomotic leaks and fistulas as well as perforations do lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Several interventional endoscopic techniques such as stents, clips, endoscopic suturing and endoscopic vacuum therapy, can help in reducing an unfavorable outcome of these patients, using a differentiated management of leakages. An important feature of these therapeutic …

Assets of Circulating Extracellular Vesicles for Early Diagnosis and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer by Liquid Biopsy

1. Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is an important human cancer, which needs new biomarkers for early diagnosis in order to improve the patients outcome. The aim of this review is to stress the huge interest of extracellular vesicles circulating into blood and other body fluids, as potential candidates for early diagnosis of gastric cancer. After …
