Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a growth factor known to have in vitro effects on the and invasiveness of cancer. It has been approved by U.S. Food Drug Administration limited doses for single-level anterior spinal arthrodesis, but it commonly used off-label at high doses. The effect rhBMP-2 risk cancer concern. We sought evaluate new cancers patients receiving high-dose rhBMP-2. Methods: publicly available data from pivotal, multicenter, randomized...

Abstract Objective The reported frequency of scleroderma M01‐R renal crisis (SRC) in diffuse systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) is 15–20%. Early use angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors has markedly improved outcome. present analysis reexamines the prognostic factors for and outcome SRC a prospective cohort patients with early SSc. Methods We retrospectively evaluated SSc who participated High‐Dose Versus Low‐Dose D‐Penicillamine Diffuse trial. Patients cutaneous were enrolled...
