Background: The contribution of novel risk factors to mortality in chronic kidney disease remains controversial. Aim: To explore the association plasma fibrinogen with among individuals normal and reduced function. Methods: We identified 9184 subjects, age 40 over from Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–94) vital status assessed through 2006. Plasma was modeled as continuous variable quartile groups (0 <7.7, 7.7 <9.0, 9.0 <10.5 ≥10.5 µmol/l) total cardiovascular across...
Abstract Purpose UK NICE guidelines recommend axillary node clearance (ANC) should be performed in all patients with biopsy-proven node-positive breast cancer having primary surgery. There is, however, increasing evidence such extensive surgery may not always necessary. Targeted dissection (TAD) an effective alternative low-volume nodal disease who are clinically negative (cN0) but have abnormal nodes detected radiologically.
