Abstract In recent years, whey proteins (WP) have attracted increasing attention in health and disease for their bioactive functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit WP isolate (WPI) supplementation addition nutritional counseling malnourished advanced cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT). a single‐center, randomized, pragmatic, parallel‐group controlled trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT02065726), 166 with mixed tumor entities candidate or CT were randomly assigned...
The purpose of this study was to assess the value narrow band imaging (NBI) endoscopy in diagnosis pharyngolaryngeal lesions and demonstrate validity a new NBI-based classification their vascular pattern.From 2009 2011, 248 patients with underwent NBI-endoscopic evaluation. NBI findings were classified into 5 types according Ni compared histopathological reports. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive (PPV) negative (NPV) calculated.Sensitivity, PPV, NPV 97.4%, 84.6%, 92.7%,...
