Question: Question: Is allogeneic red blood cell transfusion an independent risk factor for the development of postoperative bacterial infection?
Answer: These data support the hypothesis that allogeneic red cell transfusion is an independent risk factor for the development of postoperative bacterial infection in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. This association provides further reason to minimise exposure to allogeneic transfusions in the perioperative setting.

Answer: yes

Question: Question: Is cytosine deamination a major cause of baseline noise in next-generation sequencing?
Answer: Baseline noise during NGS is mostly due to cytosine deamination, the source of which is likely to be both biologic and an artifact of thermocycling, and it can be reduced by UNG pretreatment.

Answer: yes

Question: Question: Is hsa-miR-31-3p expression linked to progression-free survival in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer treated with anti-EGFR therapy?
Answer: Hsa-miR-31-3p seems to be a new mCRC biomarker whose expression level allows for the identification of patients with wild-type KRAS mCRC who are more likely to respond to anti-EGFR therapy.

Answer:
yes
