Background. Symptomatic postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (PSEH) is a devastating complication that could develop after lumbar decompression surgery. PSEH can also develop after biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS), one of the recently introduced minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. Gelatin-thrombin matrix sealant (GTMS) is commonly used to prevent PSEH. This study aimed at analyzing the clinical and radiological effects of GTMS use during BESS. Methods. A total of 206 patients with...

Abstract Background Graves’ orbitopathy (GO) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves’ disease (GD). Several studies support the involvement of TSH receptor autoantibodies (TRAbs) in the pathogenesis of GO, and a correlation between GO features and TRAbs has been reported, but not confirmed by all studies. Thus, we conducted a cross-sectional investigation to determine whether there is a correlation between TRAbs and...
Abstract PCOS is a common and heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, frequently associated with metabolic abnormalities. It was estimated that about 75% of these subjects have an impairment of insulin action, as measured by gold standard methods. While the relationship between insulin resistance and PCOS is consistently shown by a number of studies, the mechanisms underlying its primary origin still remains an unsolved issue. Insulin resistance and the...

Objective. Elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the precise mechanism of Hcy in cardiovascular disease remains elusive. This study is aimed at evaluating the association between Hcy levels and autonomic nervous system and at investigating their clinical relevance in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods. A total of 191 subjects with OSAS were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. Heart rate variability (HRV) represents the...
Kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) has been recently reported to be upregulated and associated with increased invasiveness and metastasis in several malignancies. However, the role of KIF20A in colorectal cancer (CRC) is still unclear. This study is aimed at investigating the potential roles of KIF20A in the development of CRC. The results of bioinformatics analysis, immunohistochemical staining, and Western blot analysis showed that KIF20A was overexpressed in CRC tissues compared with adjacent...

ObjectiveDeclining participation has been observed in previous epidemiological studies, could occupational risk factor epidemiology be particularly vulnerable to this trend? The objective of this study was to assess trends of participation rates in occupational case-control studies.MethodsFive prominent occupational and epidemiological journals were pre-selected and all articles published between 1991 and 2017 were screened for case-control studies of occupational risk factors for chronic disease...

Wet age-related macular degeneration and a number of other eye diseases, including congenital conditions, are related to mutated genes that result in blood vessel abnormalities. These can be treated with gene therapy, but delivering genetic material has proven to be difficult when dealing with large gene sequences that are common in retinal conditions. Viruses have been the go-to vectors for delivering genes into the eye, but the immune system wants to fight them. Too often this results...

In order to make a comparison of the age-specific lung cancer incidence rate between Japan and other countries, we abstracted cancer incidence rate from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. XI (CI5) (1). The International Agency for Research on Cancer provides the CI5 databases on the incidence of cancer recorded by cancer registries (regional and national) worldwide. We used cancer incidence rate in five countries in Asia (China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and Thailand), three countries...

During my 45-year tenure at Cleveland State University (CSU) I never thought of retirement, but around 2013 a concatenation of events changed my direction. A cut in pensions by 23 percent was being planned, and my department was to merge with sociology/criminology. Saddened by the loss of anthropology’s independent identity that I had helped establish in 1970, I also learned my large and richly decorated office as well as the adjacent Center for Healing Across Cultures, home to my Meditation Gathering,...
