Cancers are driven by a population of cells with the stem cell properties self-renewal and unlimited growth. As subpopulation within tumor mass, these believed to constitute reservoir. Pathways controlling renewal normal deregulated in cancer. The polycomb group gene Bmi1, which is required for neural also controls anti-oxidant defense neurons, upregulated several cancers, including medulloblastoma. We have found that Bmi1 consistently highly expressed GBM. Downregulation shRNAs induced...
The whole blood D-dimer assay has gained recognition as a noninvasive test to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) in medical patients.We performed and surgical patients undergoing either angiogram or ventilation perfusion scan for suspected PE duplex Doppler venogram deep venous thrombosis (DVT).A total of 483 were enrolled; 16 excluded because an equivocal scan. 467 remaining had mean age 56 +/- 27 years. There 258 women 209 men. A 353 admitted service 114 surgery/ trauma. 82 (18%) developed...
This study analyzed the patient outcomes following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for infrarenal pathologies with very narrow bifurcations using AFX stent graft.The data was retrieved from archived medical records of 35 patients treated abdominal (AAA) (48.6%) or penetrating ulcer (PAU) (51.4%) bifurcation between January 2013 and May 2020. Patient survival, freedom endoleak (EL), limb occlusion were estimated applying Kaplan-Meier method.The mean follow-up time 20.4 ± 22.8...
Abstract OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on acute and elective thoracic abdominal aortic procedures. METHODS Forty departments shared their data procedures between January May 2020 in Europe, Asia USA. Admission rates as well delay from onset symptoms to referral were compared. RESULTS No differences number observed reference period [incidence ratio (IRR): 0.96, confidence interval (CI) 0.89–1.04; P = 0.39]. Also, no difference time was...
Abstract Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous condition with respect to onset, progression, and response therapy. Incorporating clinical- imaging-based features refine COPD phenotypes provides valuable information beyond that obtained from traditional clinical evaluations. We characterized the spectrum of COPD-related in sample former current smokers evaluated how these subgroups differ sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, subsequent risk...
