Clinical breast cancer
INTRODUCTION: The L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1-CAM) and its soluble form sL1 play a prominent role in invasion and metastasis in several cancers. However, its association with breast cancer is still unclear.

Convective radiofrequency water vapor thermal therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a single office experience.

Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases
BACKGROUND: Convective radiofrequency water vapor thermal therapy with the Rezūm system is a relatively new treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We present results from a single surgeon in an office setting.

Serum Cardiac Troponin T Levels in Asymptomatic Elderly Nursing Home Residents.

BACKGROUND: The definition of myocardial infarction relies on elevated troponin levels. However, elevated levels of high sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT) assays have been reported in elderly patients without acute myocardial infarction. We sought...

Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase (IDO) Enzyme Links Innate Immunity and Altered T-Cell Differentiation in Non-ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.

International journal of molecular sciences
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a complex interplay between innate and adaptive immunity. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in T-cell activation and regulation by promoting a tolerogenic environment through the ...

A test of the adaptive network explanation of functional disorders using a machine learning analysis of symptoms.

Bio Systems
The classification and etiology of functional disorders is controversial. Evidence supports both psychological and biological (disease) models that show, respectively, that functional disorders should be classified as one (bodily distress syndrome) a...

Mild troponin elevation in patients admitted to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation: 30-day post-discharge prognostic significance.

Internal and emergency medicine
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often undergo troponin (Tn) testing in the emergency department (ED), but the clinical significance of mildly elevated values remains unclear. We evaluated short-term 30-day post-discharge outcomes in AF patient...

Association Between Genotypes and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).

Journal of the American Heart Association
BACKGROUND: genetic variants confer an increased risk for kidney disease. Their associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are less certain. We aimed to compare the prevalence of subclinical CVD and incidence of atherosclerotic CVD and heart fai...
