Optimal adjuvant endocrine treatment of ER+/HER2+ breast cancer patients by age at diagnosis: A population-based cohort study.

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)
BACKGROUND: Prior randomised controlled trials on adjuvant hormonal therapy included HER2 patients; however, a differential effect of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) versus tamoxifen (TAM) may have been missed in ER+/HER2+ patients that comprise 7-15% of ...

Apolipoprotein A-I: A favorable prognostic marker in infective endocarditis.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Decreased apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are common in inflammation and sepsis. No study with a large sample size has been performed to investigate the prognostic value of apoA-I or HDL-C in i...

Diagnostic utility of serum melatonin levels in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case-control study.

Reumatismo
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease and early diagnosis is of clinical and therapeutic importance. Melatonin is an endogenous endolamine hormone that plays an important role in the immune system du...

The role of klotho in systemic sclerosis.

Reumatismo
The aim was to evaluate the role of klotho in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc), through the measurement of its serum concentration in SSc patients compared to healthy controls, and to assess the association with cutaneous and visceral inv...

Dietary antioxidants and 10-year lung function decline in adults from the ECRHS survey.

The European respiratory journal
The relationship between lung function decline and dietary antioxidants over 10 years in adults from three European countries was investigated.In 2002, adults from three participating countries of the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECR...

Urinary exosomal viral microRNA as a marker of BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Bkv-miR-B1-5p, one of the microRNAs encoded by BK virus, was recently reported to be elevated in the blood among the patients with BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Urinary exosome was suggested to be a possible source of biomarker for kidney d...

Improved perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy: modified lasso technique.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Simultaneous division of the splenic artery, splenic vein and pancreatic parenchyma during laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy (LDPS) is known as the lasso technique, which is considered to be simple to perform. However, the original...

Communication with Orthopedic Trauma Patients via an Automated Mobile Phone Messaging Robot.

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
BACKGROUND: Communication with orthopedic trauma patients is traditionally problematic with low response rates (RRs). The purpose of this investigation was to (1) evaluate the feasibility of communicating with orthopedic trauma patients postoperative...

Effects of carbohydrate mouth rinse and caffeine on high-intensity interval running in a fed state.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
The current study aims to identify if mouth rinsing with a 6% carbohydrate mouth-rinse (CMR) solution and mouth rinsing and ingestion of caffeine (CMR+CAFF) can affect exercise performance during steady-state (SS) running and high-intensity intervals...

Does conditioned pain modulation predict the magnitude of placebo effects in patients with neuropathic pain?

European journal of pain (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) is a validated measure of the function of endogenous pain inhibitory pathways. Placebo effects reflect top-down inhibitory modulation of pain. CPM and placebo effects are both influenced by expectations, ...
