Barrett's esophagus (BE) increases the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We found to be BE has been associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 6p21 (within HLA region) and 16q23, where closest protein-coding gene is FOXF1. Subsequently, Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium (BEACON) identified loci for near CRTC1 BARX1, within 100 kb FOXP1. aimed identify further SNPs that increased validate previously reported associations.
Since the 1980s, within broader context of studies on smart cities, there has been a growing body academic research networked cities and “computable cities” by authors including Manuel Castells (Castells, 1989; & Cardoso, 2005), William Mitchell (1995), Michael Batty (2005, 2013), Rob Kitchin (2011). Over last decade, governments in Asia have displayed an appetite commitment to construct large scale city developments from scratch—one most infamous being entrepreneurial Songdo, South...
The Korean government, like many in Asia, is actively building green cities from scratch—the most famous being Sejong, Songdo, and Cheongna. All these are considered models of characterized by similar networked smart technological systems. This research builds on recent scholarly discourse Anthony Townsend technologies urban planning, Sofia T. Shwayri Simon Joss the "ubiquitous-eco-city" phenomena Korea. In particular, it aims to extend Shwayri's hypothesis that model developed for export...
The risks associated with colonoscopy performed through the British Columbia Colon Screening Program (BCCSP) are not known. We aimed to determine rate of colonoscopy-related serious adverse events within this program.For prospective observational study, we used BCCSP database identify participants 50 74 years age who had a positive result on fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) between Nov. 15, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2017, followed by colonoscopy. Unplanned medical were recorded at time 14 days...

Liver transplant programs in Canada require a period of 6 months abstinence from alcohol before considering patient with liver disease secondary to for transplantation. Although some studies have demonstrated good outcomes following carefully selected patients the 6-month has been met, there arguments against this, including claim that public general negative perception those dependence. We performed multicenter cross-sectional survey determine people British Columbia, Canada, toward...
The pattern of intragastric Helicobacter pylori colonization and its density may be determined by parietal cell function. H. bacterial products can inhibit gastric acid secretion from the cell. aim this investigation was to study relationship between output distribution in duodenal ulcer (DU) non-ulcer subjects. included 14 patients with active DU, 10 inactive DU dyspeptics.Acid studies response fasting maximal pentagastrin stimulation, basal (BAO) peak (PAO) outputs were calculated. A...
A 52-year-old man presented with malaise and abnormal liver function tests: alanine aminotransferase 71 IU/ml (0–50), γ-glutamyltransferase 465 (0–60), alkaline phosphatase 167 (30–140), bilirubin 19 μmol (3–28). He had never …
Abstract Background The British Columbia Colon Screening Program (BCCSP) is a population-based program enrolling 50–74 year old individuals for biennial FIT (OC-Sensor, cut-off 10 mcg/g) with follow-up colonoscopy positive FIT. neoplasia detection rate 50–55% and over 75% of colonoscopies have specimen taken. Previously reported adverse event rates based screening programs vary widely: 0.03–6.2% 0–2.7% bleeding perforation, respectively. Mortality as result rare but has been in...
