Abstract Background The predominance of onychomycosis has been increasing recently. New medications and treatment modalities are being researched for better saturation of the antifungal agents through the nail plate topically because of the low resilience of some patients for the oral antifungal agents. Treatment of onychomycosis, mainly moderate to severe, can be very challenging, expensive, and time consuming. ...
Abstract Background Factor-Xa inhibitors (FXaIs) are widely used for the treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Although we have previously reported the distribution of the anti-factor Xa activity (AXA) values of three different FXaIs in NVAF patients, the differences in the distribution of AXA values among the different FXaIs in patients with renal impairment (RI) have not been fully elucidated. ...
Abstract In the evolving landscape of precision oncology, genomic characterization of tumor has become crucial in order to move toward a molecular-based therapy for the vast majority of cancers. Recently, translational research has offered new perspectives in systemic cancer treatment thanks to the identification of novel oncogenic targets and the development of new targeted therapies, followed by the latest applications of genomic sequencing. Simultaneously, next-generation sequencing...
Abstract George Psathas was one of the most important “central figures” or “intellectual promoters” in a “phenomenological sociology” movement not only in the United States bur also in the world. This essay, using the term “phenomenological sociology” in a broader sense, i.e., as a sociological perspective, aims to demonstrate this by tracing his research and publication activities, educational activities, and activities for making up intellectual networks and scientific organizations...
