Objectives In mouse models of pancreatic cancer, IPI-926, an oral Hedgehog inhibitor, increases chemotherapy delivery by depleting tumor-associated stroma. This multicenter phase Ib study evaluated IPI-926 in combination with FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) patients advanced cancer. Methods Patients were treated once-daily plus FOLFIRINOX. A 3 + dose escalation design was used, cohort expansion at the maximum tolerated dose. subset underwent perfusion...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening disease affecting almost 10% of the population over age 65. Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) have been shown to exert anti-atherogenic and anti-angiogenic effects, but potential effects N-BPs on AAA remain unclear. Here, we tested whether potent N-BP, zoledronate, can attenuate formation Angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced in hyperlipidaemic mice.Low-density lipoprotein receptor(-/-) (LDLR(-/-)) mice infused for 28 days with Ang...
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain for treatment-resistant obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We aim to compare the treatment outcomes of newly developed dual-site cathodal tDCS method over orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) two previously reported montages (cerebellum-OFC pre-SMA) in patients with OCD. Methods: Eighteen OCD were randomly assigned receive twice-daily 2 mA/20 min sessions 10 consecutive...
In recent years, bipolar disorder (BD), a multifaceted mood marked by severe episodic fluctuations, has been shown to have an impact on disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). The increasing prevalence of BD highlights the need for better di-agnostic tools , particularly those involving genetic insights. Genetic association studies can play crucial role in identifying variations linked BD, shedding light its ge-netic underpinnings and potential therapeutic targets. Our research utilized data...
ABSTRACT Background: Differentiate benign and malignant hepatic lesions with a limited phase of CT scan is practical clinical challenge. Aim: To evaluate the feasibility differentiation portal venous computed tomography (CT) images deep learning. Methods: This was retrospective single-center study; patients focal were detected in contrast-enhanced from January 2016 to December 2018 enrolled. Benign enrolled this study include cysts hemangioma; hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastases....

Several studies argue against the association between admission hyperglycemia and adverse outcomes in infected diabetic patients. When investigating association, it is necessary to consider preexisting hyperglycemia. The objective of this study was assess whether stress-induced hyperglycemia, determined by glycemic gap glucose levels A1c-derived average adversely affects patients admitted hospital with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We retrospectively analyzed hospitalized because CAP...

The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in management adhesion-related small bowel obstruction (SBO) and identify its predictive value for surgery.We conducted a retrospective review 151 patients over 5-year period with diagnosis SBO caused by adhesion. These were divided into two groups: surgery (n = 63) observation group 88). Two radiologists blinded outcome evaluated MDCT images retrospectively, recording diameter, wall...
To retrospectively determine the association between breast lesion morphology and malignancy to optimal value of enhancement (HU, Hounsfield units) improve diagnostic accuracy cancer in patients with incidental lesions (IBLs). A total 97 102 IBLs detected from July 2009 December 2012 were enrolled this study. Two radiologists analyzed CT images for presence based on alone combination an (HU) analysis. There 36 malignant 66 benign IBLs. When values combined, sensitivity, specificity, 92%,...
Abstract Background Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is an early stage of dementia linked to Alzheimer's disease pathology. White matter changes were found in SCD using diffusion tensor imaging, but there are known limitations voxel-wise tensor-based methods. Fixel-based analysis (FBA) can help understand white fibers and how they relate neurodegenerative proteins multidomain behavior data individuals with SCD. Methods Healthy adults normal cognition recruited the Northeastern Taiwan...
The purpose of this study was to verify the utility second-look ultrasonography (US) in evaluating nonmass enhancement (NME) lesions detected on breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by analysing its correlation and features. From July 2008 June 2012, 102 consecutive MRI-detected NME were subsequently evaluated with US. Lesions according established Breast Imaging Reporting Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon. between lesion characteristics, size, histopathological findings features at US...
