Awareness of Cervical Cancer Causes and Predeterminants of Likelihood to Screen Among Women in Haiti.
(Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2017-01)
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Haiti. Given
this high disease burden, we sought to better understand women's knowledge of its
causes and the sociodemographic and health correlates of ...
Changing cancer survival in China during 2003-15: a pooled analysis of 17 population-based cancer registries.
(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.
(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.
(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 ...
Learning from 2523 trauma deaths in India- opportunities to prevent in-hospital deaths.
(BMC health services research, 2017-02-16)
A systematic analysis of trauma deaths is a step towards trauma quality improvement
in Indian hospitals. This study estimates the magnitude of preventable trauma deaths
in five Indian hospitals, and uses a peer-review process ...
Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC4 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important
role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand
cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide ...
Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway
involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using
data derived from published genome-wide association ...
Interleukin-17 synergizes with IFNγ or TNFα to promote inflammatory mediator release and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in human intervertebral disc cells.
(Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research
Society, 2011-01)
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a cytokine recently shown to be elevated, along with interferon-γ
(IFNγ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), in degenerated and herniated intervertebral
disc (IVD) tissues, suggesting a role for these ...
Ghrelin suppresses glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and deteriorates glucose tolerance in healthy humans.
(Diabetes, 2010-09)
OBJECTIVE: The orexigenic gut hormone ghrelin and its receptor are present in pancreatic
islets. Although ghrelin reduces insulin secretion in rodents, its effect on insulin
secretion in humans has not been established. ...
Mitochondrial mutations in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands.
(PLoS One, 2009-12-30)
BACKGROUND: The MitoChip v2.0 resequencing array is an array-based technique allowing
for accurate and complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome. No studies have
investigated mitochondrial mutation in salivary gland ...
