Abstract Background After liver resection (LR), patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) are at high risk of recurrence. There no approved anti-cancer therapies known to affect such risk, highlighting the acute need for novel systemic control probability disease relapse. Immunotherapy is expanding as a treatment option HCC. Emerging data from cohort 4 CA209–040 study, which investigated safety and preliminary efficacy nivolumab/ipilimumab co-administration in advanced HCC, suggest that...

Advances in medical and assistive technology have increased the likelihood of survival following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Consequently, families frequently must provide care to individuals with TBI. Because they are rarely prepared for associated demanding needs financial burden, family caregivers at risk physical emotional problems, which can negatively influence their individual functioning. Whereas scholars examined survivor functioning on caregiver few explicitly recognized that...

Mutations in the NOTCH3 gene trigger adult-onset stroke and vascular dementia patients with CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy subcortical infarcts leukoencephalopathy). All mutations described to date affect epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) repeats located extracellular domain of Notch3 receptor. These domains are also target sequential complex O-linked glycosylation mediated by protein O-fucosyltransferase 1 Fringe. We investigated whether O-fucosylation or...
We outline a practical approach to engaging Latino communities in dementia care research by establishing community advisory board (CAB). Acknowledging the historical underrepresentation of Latinos health research, we aimed ensure that perspectives and concerns were central our endeavors. As an initial step adapted Patient Advisor Toolkit 1: Orientation for Advisory Committees (PAT-1) created Wisconsin Network Research Support at University - Madison School Nursing needs Latino/a/e/x...
TPS4225 Background: Gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NET) are steadily increasing in incidence and prevalence. About 65%-95% of GEP NET show hepatic metastases. Surgery is the mainstay treatment for NE LM. While macroscopically complete resection LM associated with favourable overall survival (OS), recurrence rates up to 70% at 3 years 95% 5 reported. These results call adjuvant concepts which have not yet been established. Methods: A prospective open-label, multicentre...

Introduction Suitability for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) neuroendocrine neoplasia (NENs) depends on presence of somatostatin receptor-2 (SSTR2) determined by [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-peptide-positron emission tomography (PET). Some patients have low or no uptake [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-peptide-PET, precluding PRRT. The upstream promoter region SSRT2 is methylated, with percentage methylation correlating SSTR2 expression. Demethylating agents increase PET imaging in vivo such that tumours...
Latin America has high rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet reduced mental and physical health outcomes due to limited rehabilitation services. To understand the psychosocial adjustment process in TBI patients America, incorporation cultural values including family-based variables is imperative.
