THE ROLE OF PROCALCITONIN IN THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF SEPTIC AND NON SEPTIC COMPLICATIONS IN THE I

The objective of this study is to investigate the role and experience of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient in decision making process concerning treatment selection in the current clinical practice.

The incidence of Cholangiocellular Carcinoma (CCA) is increasing in the western world. The tumour has a high proportion of desmoplastic stroma and is correlated with a worse prognosis when cancer associated myofibroblasts (CAFs) are present. Recent studies showed promising results after liver transp[r]

Gastric cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Successful early gastric cancer detection is hampered by lack of highly sensitive and specific biomarkers. Plasma membrane proteins participate and/or have a central role in the metastatic process of cancer cells[r]

Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the most common helminth infecting humans. It can affect all age groups but is more prevalent in pre-school children belonging to low socio economic status. Left untreated, it can cause significant and serious complications which include small intestinal obstruction, v[r]

Increasingly, the role of chronic inflammation and its mediators in tumor generation and progression is gaining importance in the field of cancer research. In this context, candidature of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as potential anti-tumor therapeutic agent is being evaluated glob[r]

Methods
Patients who underwent PET/CT examination for staging or follow-up after resection of pancreatic tumors observed in our Department from January 2004 to December 2014, were identified from a prospectively collected database. The scans were reviewed and any inci[r]

Post-translational modification of histone tails by methylation plays an important role in tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the nuclear expression of H3K4me3, H3K9me3 and H4K20me3 in early-stage colon cancer in relation to clinical outcome.

Nitrogen is an essential macromolecule necessary for suitable growth and development of plants by playing a vital role in biochemical and physiological functions throughout the life cycle. Early node 93 (ENOD93-1) gene is well known for significantly responding to both N induction and N reduction in[r]

The early age at retinoblastoma occurrence, the most common eye malignancy in childhood, suggests that perinatal factors may contribute to its etiology. Methods: In a large multicenter study of non-familial retinoblastoma, we conducted structured interviews with the parents of 280 cases and 146 cont[r]

The study of the nature of scalar fields without mass parameter interacting with stiff perfect fluid in Bianchi type space- times is a subject of interest due to its significant role in the description of the universe at the early stages of evolution. Patel [1] obtained the static and non-static pla[r]

The role of urine markers in the surveillance of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is discussed extensively. In case of negative cystoscopy the additional prognostic value of these markers has not been clearly defined yet.

BACKGROUND
Bronchoscopy with 2 sources of light (white and fluorescence) is an advance in diagnosis of lung cancer. The results of many previous studies have shown that the effectiveness of fluorescent light is better than white one. Especially, the efficiency of bronchoscopy in detection of lung c[r]

The Bmi1 polycomb ring finger oncogene, a transcriptional repressor belonging to the Polycomb group of proteins plays an important role in the regulation of stem cell self-renewal and is elevated in several cancers. In the current study, we have explored the role of Bmi1 in regulating the stemness a[r]

Novel non-invasive biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC) are needed, because the present diagnostic methods for GC are either invasive or insensitive and non-specific in clinic. The presence of stable circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in plasma suggested a promising role as GC biomarkers.

Bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. Based on their role bacteria may be grouped as beneficial, spoilage causing and pathogens. The saprophytic group, involved in causing the spoilage of milk and milk products, produce various kinds of surfactants to utilize the milk components. Synthetic surfactants[r]

Anthracycline adjuvant therapy has taken a particular role in the treatment of early stage breast cancer with an associated decrease in rates of both relapse and death. Their success however has been limited by their myelosuppression and their well-established risk of cardiac dysfunction.

According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, in 1997, 3.9 million people worldwide died from acute lower respiratory infections and 394 million new cases. In Vietnam, on average, each child can contract acute respiratory infections 3 to 5 times, pn[r]

Several studies have described an increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in pancreatic cancer, but the role of COX-2 in tumour development and progression is not clear. The aim of the present study was to examine expression of COX-2 in cancer cells and stromal cells in pancreatic cancer speci[r]
