Changing cancer survival in China during 2003-15: a pooled analysis of 17 population-based cancer registries.

Ji, John; Zeng, Hongmei; Chen, Wanqing; Zheng, Rongshou; Zhang, Siwei; Zou, Xiaonong; Xia, Changfa; ... (44 authors) (The Lancet. Global health, 2018-05)

From 2003 to 2005, standardised 5-year cancer survival in China was much lower than in developed countries and varied substantially by geographical area. Monitoring population-level cancer survival is crucial to the understanding ...

Predictive Modeling of Length of Hospital Stay Following Adult Spinal Deformity Correction: Analysis of 653 Patients with an Accuracy of 75% within 2 Days.

Shaffrey, Christopher; Safaee, Michael M; Scheer, Justin K; Ailon, Tamir; Smith, Justin S; Hart, Robert A; Burton, Douglas C; ... (15 authors) (World neurosurgery, 2018-07)

Length of stay (LOS) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a critical period that allows for optimal recovery. Predictive models that estimate LOS allow for stratification of high-risk patients.A prospectively ...

Peak Timing for Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.

Shaffrey, Christopher; Daniels, Alan H; Bess, Shay; Line, Breton; Eltorai, Adam EM; Reid, Daniel BC; Lafage, Virginie; ... (22 authors) (World neurosurgery, 2018-07)

Overall complication rates for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have been reported; however, little data exist on the peak timing associated with specific complications. This study quantifies the peak timing for multiple ...

Paracrine Wnt5a-β-Catenin Signaling Triggers a Metabolic Program that Drives Dendritic Cell Tolerization.

DeVito, Nicholas; Locasale, Jason; Hanks, Brent; Nair, Smita; Zhao, Fei; Xiao, Christine; Evans, Kathy S; ... (12 authors) (Immunity, 2018-01)

Despite recent advances, many cancers remain refractory to available immunotherapeutic strategies. Emerging evidence indicates that the tolerization of local dendritic cells (DCs) within the tumor microenvironment promotes ...

Exposure to opposing views on social media can increase political polarization.

Bail, Christopher; Volfovsky, Alexander; Argyle, Lisa P; Brown, Taylor W; Bumpus, John P; Chen, Haohan; Hunzaker, MB Fallin; ... (10 authors) (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018-09)

There is mounting concern that social media sites contribute to political polarization by creating "echo chambers" that insulate people from opposing views about current events. We surveyed a large sample of Democrats and ...

Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.

Kraus, Virginia; Yin, Zhaoxue; Chen, Jing; Zhang, Jian; Ren, Zeping; Dong, Kui; Wang, Zhuoqun; ... (14 authors) (Nutrients, 2018-04-09)

Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional study explored dietary patterns associated with ...

Select Biomarkers on the Day of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Predict Poor Patient-Reported Outcomes at 2-Year Follow-Up: A Pilot Study.

Kraus, Virginia; Reinke, Emily; Lattermann, Christian; Conley, Caitlin E-W; Johnson, Darren L; Huston, Laura J; Huebner, Janet L; ... (10 authors) (BioMed research international, 2018-01)

Background:The majority of patients develop posttraumatic osteoarthritis within 15 years of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Inflammatory and chondrodegenerative biomarkers have been associated with both pain and ...

Morphometric panel regression equations for predicting body mass in immature humans.

Churchill, Steven; Yapuncich, Gabriel; Cameron, Noël; Walker, Christopher S (American journal of physical anthropology, 2018-05)

OBJECTIVES:Predicting body mass is a frequent objective of several anthropological subdisciplines, but there are few published methods for predicting body mass in immature humans. Because most reference samples are composed ...
