- summary: There is no statistically significant difference between annotated variants in BEN patients and European populations. Mutant genes (CELA1, HSPG2, and KCNK5) in BEN patients encode proteins involved in basement membrane/extracellular matrix and vascular tone, tightly connected to process of angiogenesis.

- summary: Bactericidal activity is defined as a ratio of MBC to MIC of ≤4 Since antibacterial agents targeting cell wall biosynthesis act as bactericidal agents [30, 34] , the failure in the cell wall biosynthesis due to the inhibition of transglycosylases could be responsible for bactericidal activity of diamides against MRSA.

- summary: The recognition that cancer cells need their microenvironment to efficiently display their phenotype has opened the door to hypothesize and implement new therapeutic strategies. The trastuzumab moiety of this ADC binds to HER2 on tumor cell surfaces; upon internalization, the DM1 moiety is released and binds to tubulin, thereby disrupting microtubule assembly/disassembly dynamics and inhibiting cell division and the proliferation of cancer cells that overexpress HER2.

- summary: Most types of COVID-19 pneumonia have abnormal radiographic changes at initial presentation, and CT features and patterns are similar to those of viral pneumonia. Although a patient with exposure history may be asymptomatic and obtained negative results of CT findings and viral nucleic acid test at initial presentation, the potential infection cannot be totally excluded, and performing repeating CT scan and coronavirus RNA test is needed.

- summary: The evidence on the positive rate of conjunctival swab samples and the prevalence rates of ocular symptoms indicated that COVID-19 ocular transmission was possible but less likely. Similarly, our meta-analysis found that up to 10% of COVID-19 patients had ocular symptoms and 3% of conjunctival swab samples were positive in COVID-19 patients, supporting the possibility of transmission through the ocular surface.

Therefore, the identification of suspected cases that may have higher chances of being diagnosed as cases of MERS-CoV is essential.
