Lung premalignancy and early-stage adenocarcinoma use a mechanism of glucose transport that can be targeted for early diagnosis treatment.
Differentiated thyroid cancer in older adults has been linked to alterations the mutational landscape and tumor immune cell infiltration that create a tumor-permissive microenvironment. We sought determine impact of age on genomic composition papillary (PTC). Genomic alterations, clinical data were obtained using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) computational immunogenomic analyses. Disease severity was recoded into 3 groups: Group A (T1-2N0M0), B (T1-3N1a-1bM0), C (T4NxMx or TxNxM1)....
Abstract Morbidity in patients with single-ventricle Fontan circulation is common and includes arrhythmias, edema, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) among others. We sought to identify biomarkers that may predict such complications. Twenty-five physiology 12 control atrial septal defects (ASD) underwent cardiac catheterization were included. Plasma was collected from the hepatic vein superior vena cava protein profiling for a panel of 20 analytes involved angiogenesis endothelial...
The molecular mechanisms underlying vascular regeneration and repair are largely unknown. To gain insight into this process, we developed a method of intima denudation, characterized the progression endothelial healing, performed transcriptome analysis over time. Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNAseq) provided quantitative unbiased gene expression profile during in vivo following denudation injury. Our data indicate that shortly after injury, cells immediately adjacent to wound mount robust...
Percutaneous vascular interventions uniformly result in arterial denudation injuries that subsequently lead to thrombosis and restenosis. These complications can be attributed impairments re-endothelialization within the wound margins. Yet, cellular molecular mechanisms of remain defined. While several animal models study after are available, few performed mouse because surgical limitations. This undermines opportunity exploit transgenic lines investigate contribution specific genes process...
Serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT), a protein produced by the thyroid C cells under physiologic conditions, are high during sepsis.To assess test performance serum PCT in predicting bacterial sepsis and septic shock patients with hypothyroidism compared those who have euthyroidism.This retrospective study evaluated no history dysfunction (euthyroid), primary [medical (MH)], postsurgical from total thyroidectomy (TT) identified prospectively maintained database had testing 2005 to 2018....
Trapped lung, characterized by atelectatic lung unable to reexpand and fill the thoracic cavity due a restricting fibrous visceral pleural peel, is occasionally seen in patients with end-stage liver disease complicated hepatic hydrothorax. Limited data suggest that trapped prior orthotopic transplantation may be associated poor outcomes.What clinical significance of receiving transplantation?We performed retrospective analysis who underwent over an 8-year period. Baseline characteristics...
