OS01.7.A Detection of methylation-based prognostic signatures in liquid biopsy specimens from patients with meningiomas Open
Background Detection of distinct epigenetic biomarkers in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of liquid biopsy (LB) specimens (e.g. blood) fosters opportunity for prognostication of central nervous system (CNS) tumors and has not been thorou…

Diabetes and COVID-19: Short- and Long-Term Consequences Open
When the corona pandemic commenced more than two years ago, it was quickly recognized that people with metabolic diseases show an augmented risk of severe COVID-19 and an increased mortality compared to people without these comorbidities. …

P01.02 Serum-derived DNA methylation markers distinguish functional and invasiveness subtypes in patients harboring pituitary tumors Open
BACKGROUND Molecular profiling of circulating biomarkers released by tumors has a relevant clinical value in central nervous system (CNS) tumors, but its feasibility has not been investigated in pituitary tumors (PT) despite being the seco…

P13.15 DNA methylation abnormalities in non-promoter regulatory regions are associated with invasive behavior in pituitary tumors Open
BACKGROUND Despite histologically benign, pituitary tumors (PT) may invade important adjacent neurovascular structures which can incur in significant comorbidities preventing a complete surgical resection and contributing to resistance to …

A survey of complex dimensions, measurability, and the lattice/nonlattice dichotomy Open
The theory of complex dimensions of fractal strings developed by Lapidus and van Frankenhuijsen has proven to be a powerful tool for the study of Minkowski measurability of fractal subsets of the real line. In a very general setting, the M…

Partition zeta functions, multifractal spectra, and tapestries of complex dimensions Open
For a Borel measure and a sequence of partitions on the unit interval, we define a multifractal spectrum based on coarse Holder regularity. Specifically, the coarse Holder regularity values attained by a given measure and with respect to a…
