ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DYNAMIC FLUCTUATIONS IN TRIIODOTHYRONINE LEVELS AND PROGNOSIS AMONG CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS WITHIN COMPREHENSIVE INTENSIVE CARE UNITS

Association between dynamic fluctuations in triiodothyronine levels and prognosis among critically ill patients within comprehensive intensive care units

ObjectiveDecrease in free thyroid hormone T3 (FT3) can be used as an independent prognostic indicator for the risk of death in ICUs.However, FT3 as a predictive marker is hindered by its accuracy.The study introduces the concept of dynamic FT3 data as a means to bolster the value of FT3 as a prognostic tool.Therefore, the aim of this study is to in

Probing the HIV-1 genomic RNA trafficking pathway and dimerization by genetic recombination and single virion analyses.

Once transcribed, the nascent full-length RNA of HIV-1 must travel to the appropriate host cell sites to be translated or to find a partner RNA for copackaging to form newly generated viruses.In this report, we sought to delineate the location where HIV-1 RNA initiates dimerization and the influence of the RNA transport pathway used by the virus on
