Are ADC values of readout-segmented echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (RESOLVE) correlated with pathological prognostic factors in rectal adenocarcinoma?

Abstract Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values as imaging biomarkers of rectal cancer are currently a hot research spot.The use of ADC values for preoperative judgment of pathological features in rectal cancer has been generally accepted.The image quality evaluation of conventional diffusion is

Population-wide modelling reveals prospects of marker-assisted selection for parasitic mite resistance in honey bees

Abstract In 2019, a joint eight-variant model was published in which eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven Apis mellifera genes were associated with Varroa destructor drone brood resistance (DBR, i.e.mite non-reproduction in drone brood).As this model was derived from only one Darwinian Black Bee Box colony, it could not directly be
