Altered hemodynamics is a key factor for atherosclerosis. For decades, endothelial cell (EC) responses to fluid-generated wall shear stress have been the central focus atherogenesis. However, circulating blood not cell-free fluid, it contains mechanosensitive red cells (RBCs) that are also subjected altered and release large amount of ATP, but their impact on atherosclerosis has overlooked. The this study role (SS)-induced RBC-released ATP in Hypercholesterolemic mouse models with without...
The goal of this study was to provide insight into the mechanism by which bariatric surgical procedures led weight loss and improvement or resolution diabetes. Global biochemical profiling used evaluate changes occurring in nondiabetic type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients experiencing either less extreme sleeve gastrectomy a full gastric bypass. We were able identify metabolism that affected standard preoperation liquid diet as well surgery itself. Preoperation weight-loss associated with strong...
According to the epidemiological studies, about 4.4% of American general elderly population has a pronounced hypothyroidism and relies on thyroid hormone supplements daily. The prevalence in our patients with pancreatic cancer was much higher, 14.1%. A retrospective analysis performed who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) or distal pancreatectomy splenectomy (DPS) at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, from 2005 2012. diagnosis correlated clinicopathologic...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has the worst prognosis among cancers, mainly due to high incidence of early metastases. RAN small GTPase (RAN) is a protein that plays physiological roles in regulation nuclear transport and microtubule spindle assembly. was recently shown mediate invasive functions prometastatic osteopontin (OPN) breast cancer cells. We others have previously levels OPN are present PDA. In this study, we analyzed expression correlation with human pancreatic lesions,...
Prior research has shown substantial shifts in procedure shares between specialty groups providing lumbar punctures. Our aim was to analyze national trends punctures among the Medicare population from 2010 2018.Medicare Part B Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary Master Files 2018 were analyzed for all Current Procedural Terminology, Version 4 codes related (62270 and 62272). Lumbar puncture volume utilization rates assessed stratified by place of service background providers.From 2018,...
Introduction: Inflammatory pseudopolyps (IPs) are a well-recognized entity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), most likely developing from long-standing chronic inflammation. Similarly, IPs have been associated ischemic and infectious colitis, intestinal ulcers, mucosal anastomoses. This study aimed to analyze without history of these known pathologies. Materials Methods: A database search was conducted for who underwent biopsies at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital...
We aim to assess the functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) utilization trends among Medicare population from 2007-2018. Part B Physician/Supplier Procedure Summary master files 2010-2018 and National Data Files 2007-2018 were analyzed for all Current Procedural Terminology, version 4 (CPT-4) codes related fMRI (70554, 70555, 96020). The provided total procedure volume payments. specialty used determine provider specialty. place-of-service identify locations where services provided. rate...
Abstract Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), being both a biomarker and therapeutic target, is important in prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis treatment. Imaging pathology are two of the most widely used approaches for PSMA detection PC. However, these techniques lack sensitivity accurate assessment low levels expression capabilities to properly characterize heterogeneous expression. When using anti-PSMA imaging ligands, radiotherapies or immunotherapies, drawbacks may ultimately prevent...
