Abstract Objectives Our objective was to identify preconception and prenatal predictors of early experiences of co-occurring risk and protective factors to help target prevention efforts to the highest-need families prior to the birth of the child. Methods Data were from the Alaska Longitudinal Child Abuse and Neglect Linkage project and the 2012–2014 Alaska...

In adults, back pain is a very commonplace complaint. If you polled the adults at your workplace or at a school event you would probably find that almost everyone has experienced back pain at some point over the last few years. But what happens when it is your young athlete? It is the middle of a busy sports season and your son or daughter comes home complaining of back pain. Surprisingly this complaint is much more common than you may think! In the adolescent age group, the prevalence of low...

Abstract Purpose To assess atrophy differences among brain regions and time-dependent changes after whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Materials and methods Twenty patients with lung cancer who underwent both WBRT and chemotherapy (WBRT group) and 18 patients with lung cancer who underwent only chemotherapy (control group) were recruited. Three-dimensional...

Abstract Background Oral follow‐up therapy is problematic in moulds with reduced azole‐susceptibility, such as azole‐resistant A. fumigatus infection. Currently only intravenous liposomal amphotericin B (L‐AmB) is advocated by guidelines for the treatment of azole‐resistant aspergillosis infections. Preclinical research indicates that high‐dose posaconazole (HD‐POS) might be a feasible option provided that high drug exposure (i.e. POS serum through levels >3 mg/L) can be achieved and is safe....

Abstract Background Somatic PTEN mutation occurs in a proportion of ovarian endometrioid carcinomas. However, these cancers have seldom been reported in diseases associated with germline PTEN variants, such as Cowden syndrome (CS). Case presentation The present case was a 39-year-old woman with a left ovarian carcinoma who demonstrated a germline...

Abstract Background Cancer cells release exosomes and can be taken up by mast cells (MCs), but the potential functional effects of MCs on tumor metastasis remain unknown. Method Exosomes were isolated from the lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, and the uptake of PKH26-labeled exosomes by bone marrow MCs was examined via flow cytometry and fluorescence...

Abstract Background Neuroblastoma (NB) is a frequent pediatric tumor associated with poor prognosis. The disregulation of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein, is crucial for the tumoral development and chemoresistance. Autophagy is also implicated in tumor cell survival and chemoresistance. The aim of our study was to demonstrate therapeutic efficiency of GX 15–070, a pan-Bcl-2 family inhibitor, used alone and in combination with conventional...

Abstract Background Chemotherapy-induced alimentary mucositis (AM) is difficult to prevent and treatment is rarely effective. Recent study have been showed that glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2 has protective in chemotherapy-induced AM. While the DPP-4 enzyme degrades this GLP-1, the DPP-4 inhibitor blocks the degradation process and raises the concentration of GLP-1. This study aimed to assess the role of DPP-4 inhibitor,...

Abstract Background Pre-clinical studies have shown that furosemide slows cancer cell growth by acting on the Na-K-2Cl transporter, particularly for gastric cancer cells. However, epidemiological studies have not investigated furosemide use and mortality in gastroesophageal cancer patients. Consequently, we conducted a population-based study to investigate whether furosemide use is associated with reduced cancer-specific mortality...

Abstract Background Accumulating evidence suggests that Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) may be involved in cancer occurrence and progression. However, the prognostic role of serum GGT in pancreatic cancer (PC) survival lacks adequate evaluation. In this study, we aimed to analyze the association between serum GGT measured at diagnosis and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic PC. ...

Abstract Background The Host Cell Reactivation assay (HCR) allows studying the DNA repair capability in different types of human cells. This assay was carried out to assess the ability in removing UV-lesions from DNA, thus verifying NER efficiency. Previously we have shown that DDB2, a protein involved in the Global Genome Repair, interacts directly with PCNA and, in human cells, the loss of this interaction affects DNA repair machinery....

Abstract Patient-ventilator asynchrony is associated with intolerance to noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and worsened outcomes. Our goal was to develop a tool to determine a patient needs for intervention by a practitioner due to the presence of patient-ventilator asynchrony. We postulated that a clinician can determine when a patient needs corrective intervention due to the perceived severity of patient-ventilator asynchrony. We hypothesized a new measure, patient breathing variability,...

Abstract Background Aesthetic porcelain veneers proved to be a long-term reliable prosthetic solution, ensuring minimal invasiveness. The use of veneers requires an adhesive cementation technique, so maintaining as much enamel as possible is to ensure lasting success. A diagnostic mock-up is a key tool that allows a preview of the outcome of the aesthetic restoration: it is obtainable both in an analog and digital way. With the recent...
