Reoperation for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly debated topic within the medical community. GBM known its aggressive nature and poor prognosis, most experiencing tumor recurrence despite initial treatments. Some studies suggest survival benefit from second surgery, while others do not. The aim of this study to assess whether reoperation offers compared who not undergo re-resection identify prognostic factors influencing patient selection reoperation. This...

<title>ABSTRACT</title> Hypertension (arterial blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, with the greatest burden of attributable deaths in Chile, having national prevalence 27.6%. In 2018, implementation HEARTS begun primary health care centers Public Health System, aim achieving increase control rates, by raising proportion hypertensive individuals who meet goals (&lt; mmHg 15–79 years old and 150/90 80 older), thus contributing to reduce morbidity...

Abstract Background and Objective During cyclosporine‐induced gingival overgrowth, the homeostatic balance of connective tissue is disrupted leading to fibrosis. Galectins are glycan‐binding proteins that can modulate a variety cellular processes including fibrosis in several organs. Here, we study role galectin‐8 (Gal‐8) response cells cyclosporine. Methods We used human fibroblasts mouse NIH3T3 treated with recombinant Gal‐8 and/or cyclosporine for analyzing specific mRNA protein levels...

Cognitive dysfunction (CD) is common among patients with the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anti-ribosomal P autoantibodies associate this and have neuropathogenic effects that are mediated by cross-reacting neuronal surface antigen (NSPA) protein. Elucidating function of NSPA can then reveal CD pathogenic mechanisms treatment opportunities. In brain, somehow contributes to glutamatergic NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activity in synaptic plasticity memory. Here we analyze...

Colorectal (CRC) is one of the most common types cancer worldwide. Most tumors develop from an adenoma in a period 10 to 15 years, but some may appear without previous adenomatous lesions. Seventy-five percent colorectal cancers are sporadic, 20% have family component (first or second-degree relatives with CRC) and 5% hereditary predisposition Mendelian pattern. The epidemiological evolution recent years Chile has worrisome treatment costs advanced stages burden for healthcare system. We...

Cancer constitutes the second most common cause of death worldwide and is expected to become leading one, even above cardiovascular diseases. The understanding cellular molecular basis cancer has led not only proper development chemotherapy but also target therapies. Although these advances are related with improved survival rates among patients, it poorly impacted its incidences. In this regard, lack knowledge regarding impact that several carcinogenic factors their interactions have on...
