Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a strong predictor for overall survival and disease free in many cancers. Our study the first investigation aiming to determine predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte on prognosis patients with stage III melanoma. This retrospective utilized cohort 107 melanoma treated at Huntsman Cancer Institute, University Utah, from May 2002 March 2016. The optimal cutoff was determined by significance log-rank tests. A total 97 tests were conducted find cutoff....
Background We evaluated the relationship of human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) with race in endemic nonendemic cohorts patients nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), smoking status cohort. Methods Tissue microarrays (TMAs) were constructed using samples from 86 treated southern China 108 Stanford, California. TMAs stained p16, HPV situ hybridization (ISH), EBV ISH. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to confirm EBV(-) cases p16(+) cases. Survival data available for...
To assess aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) expression in adult human and murine submandibular gland (SMG) stem cells to determine the effect of ALDH3 activation SMG cell enrichment.Adult were selected by surface markers (CD34 for c-Kit mouse) characterized various other flow cytometry ALDH isozymes quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR. Sphere formation bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) incorporation assays used on confirm their renewal capacity three-dimensional (3D) collagen matrix culture was...
It is important to determine the outcomes of retreatment in patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.We reviewed records treated for local recurrence at Stanford and Shantou Universities. The end points were relapse-free survival (LRFS) overall after retreatment.Fifty-six from 98 qualified. For patients, 33 had surgery alone (S group), 12 plus radiotherapy±chemotherapy (CMT 22 (RT group). All received 5-year LRFS rates were: 57% S group, 25% CMT 53% RT 41% group (P>0.05)...
Healthcare systems and providers have increasingly acknowledged the role impact of social determinants in overall health. However, gender-diverse individuals face persistent health disparities due to their identities. There is limited research on clinical sociodemographic characteristics mood quality life (QoL) for transgender (TG) individuals. Our study aims understand better elucidate transmasculine (TM) transfeminine (TF) depressive symptoms. In this cross-sectional study, 298 TF TM...
We describe a 69-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who developed dyspnea on exertion, persistent cough, fever and fatigue while everolimus exemestane combination. The initial differentials included opportunistic infection such as pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) vs. pneumonitis. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from bronchoscopy revealed PJP. patient recovered after appropriate treatment. also correlated the progressive decrease in her absolute lymphocyte count PJP recovery. This...
Rigors are a significant adverse event during interleukin-2 (IL2) therapy for metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma. Meperidine has been mainstay rigor prophylaxis but there is paucity of data regarding possible alternatives. Ninety one patients receiving IL2 carcinoma at Huntsman Cancer institute (HCI), Utah from May 2009 to October 2016 were retrospectively evaluated prophylaxis. Forty two received meperidine 49 tramadol. tabulated using the proxy number doses as needed (PRN)...
Abstract Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD) should still be considered in a patient presenting with rapidly progressive dementia and negative CSF 14‐3‐3 protein RT‐QulC. Treatable causes of encephalopathy must ruled out. Neurodegenerative diseases also considered.
