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]

: Kawasaki disease (KD) causes coronary artery lesions (CAL) and is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors and set-up a scoring system for predicting CAL of KD.

Inflammatory cytokines in the colonic microenvironment have been shown to increase with advance colorectal cancer disease state. However, the contribution of inflammatory cytokines to pre-malignant disease, such as the formation of adenomas, is unclear.

To describe some epidemiological characteristics of measles disease in Hanoi city from 2006 to 2015; to determine the status of IgG antibody against measles virus in mother and their children up to 9 months of age and some related factors in Ba Vi district, Hanoi city 2016-2017.

Gluten-free food was among the top five most-searched words on Google in 2013. The global gluten-free market is projected to reach US$6.2 billion by 2018. Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune syndrome involving a gluten-induced chronic inflammation of the small bowel mucosa, with extensive short[r]

Chronic inflammation and repeated infection with Opisthorchis viverrini (O. viverrini) induces intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are substances in the immune system that promote inflammation and causes disease to pr[r]

Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in adolescents and young adults (AYA). Annual improvements in AYA cancer survival have been inferior to those observed in children and older adults. Prior studies of AYA with cancer have been limited by their focus on patients from select treatmen[r]

Lead is toxic to cognitive and behavioral functioning in children even at levels well below those producing physical symptoms. Continuing efforts in the U.S. since about the 1970s to reduce lead exposure in children have dramatically reduced the incidence of elevated blood lead levels (with elevated[r]

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is characterized by infection and inflammation of the upper genital tract in women and is associated with health sequelae. We used a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study to explore the relationship between PID and the subsequent development of gyne[r]

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting 2–3% of the population worldwide. Hyperproliferative keratinocytes were thought to be an amplifier of inflammatory response, thereby sustaining persistence of psoriasis lesions.

In breast cancer, high levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been associated with disease-free survival and treatment resistance. Increased serum levels of IL-6 have been correlated with increased levels of NF-κβ and aromatase expression in adipose tissue.

Usually misdiagnosed, Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is the most aggressive form of non-metastatic breast cancer. This orphan disease is more frequent in North Africa. Despite intensive treatment, the survival rate remains very low.

Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute inflammatory response biomarker, has been recognized as an indicator of malignant disease progression. However, the prognostic significance of CRP levels collected before tumor removal in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma requires further investigation.

(CEUS) up to now. The main tumor markers of interest are carbohydrate antigen 19 – 9(CA19-9) and α -fetopro- tein (AFP), which are useful adjuncts to imaging in pa- tients with CC and HCC respectively [16]. Simultaneous elevation of both CA 19 – 9 and AFP has been suggest[r]

Case presentation: A 69-year-old woman presented with progressive myelopathic symptoms and thoracic radicular pain. MRI imaging of the whole spine showed an enhancing intradural extramedullary lesion extending from the cervical cord to T11 causing cord compression. Laminectomies were p[r]

This article focuses on analyzing the status of factors affecting the use of Thai ethnic folk games in organizing educational activities for preschool children, influenced by objective and subjective factors. We used in-depth interviews, interviews with 5 administrators, 10 parents, 5 preschool pres[r]

The primary cause of treatment failure in medulloblastomas (MB) is the development of leptomeningeal dissemination (seeding). For translational research on MB seeding, one of the major challenges is the development of reliable experimental models that simulate the seeding and growth characteristics[r]

Due to improvements in imaging and radiological techniques as well as the use of chemotherapy, distant metastasis has become the predominant mode of treatment failure in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC).

Planar-based measurements of lesions in metastatic melanoma have limitations in estimating tumor burden of a patient and in predicting response to treatment. Volumetric imaging might add predictive value to Response criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST)-measurement.

While the deregulation of iron homeostasis in breast epithelial cells is acknowledged, iron-related alterations in stromal inflammatory cells from the tumor microenvironment have not been explored.
