Health, well-being, and measuring the burden of disease
Abstract This essay asks whether the global burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors (GBD) should be measured in terms of their consequences for health, as maintained by most of those who are attempting to measure the GBD, or in Golf Mat terms of their consequences for well-being, as argued by John Broome.It answers that the burden of disease
An antibody to IL-1 receptor 7 protects mice from LPS-induced tissue and systemic inflammation
IntroductionInterleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 Family, is a key mediator ofautoinflammatory diseases associated with the development of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).High levels of IL-18 correlate with MAS and COVID-19 severity and mortality, particularly in COVID-19patients with MAS.As an inflammation
Tumor microenvironment characteristics and prognostic role of m6A modification in lung squamous cell carcinoma
Background: It has recently been determined that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation regulators have prominent effects on several cancers.However, the potential role of m6A modification in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) remains unclear.Methods: We evaluated the modification pattern of m6A and studied the biological function of m6A regulat
