Adjuvant radiotherapy in the treatment of invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas: an analysis of the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results registry.
(Ann Surg Oncol, 2012-04)
BACKGROUND: Management and outcomes of patients with invasive intraductal papillary
mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas are not well established. We investigated
whether adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) improved cancer-specific ...
Age-related effects on the neural correlates of autobiographical memory retrieval.
(Neurobiol Aging, 2012-07)
Older adults recall less episodically rich autobiographical memories (AM), however,
the neural basis of this effect is not clear. Using functional MRI, we examined the
effects of age during search and elaboration phases ...
Comorbidity, age, race and stage at diagnosis in colorectal cancer: a retrospective, parallel analysis of two health systems.
(BMC Cancer, 2008-11-25)
BACKGROUND: Stage at diagnosis plays a significant role in colorectal cancer (CRC)
survival. Understanding which factors contribute to a more advanced stage at diagnosis
is vital to improving overall survival. Comorbidity, ...
Evaluating the number of stages in development of squamous cell and adenocarcinomas across cancer sites using human population-based cancer modeling.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinomas (ACs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) differ by clinical
and molecular characteristics. We evaluated the characteristics of carcinogenesis
by modeling the age patterns of incidence rates of ...
Anti-cholinergic load, health care utilization, and survival in people with advanced cancer: a pilot study.
(J Palliat Med, 2010-06)
INTRODUCTION: Anti-cholinergic medications have been associated with increased risks
of cognitive impairment, premature mortality and increased risk of hospitalisation.
Anti-cholinergic load associated with medication increases ...
Breast cancer as heterogeneous disease: contributing factors and carcinogenesis mechanisms.
(Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2011-07)
The observed bimodal patterns of breast cancer incidence in the U.S. suggested that
breast cancer may be viewed as more than one biological entity. We studied the factors
potentially contributing to this phenomenon, specifically ...
Geographic information system-based screening for TB, HIV, and syphilis (GIS-THIS): a cross-sectional study.
(PLoS One, 2012)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility and case detection rate of a geographic information
systems (GIS)-based integrated community screening strategy for tuberculosis, syphilis,
and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). ...
Patient detection of a drug dispensing error by use of physician-provided drug samples.
(Pharmacotherapy, 2002-12)
Gene expression-based classifiers identify Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and
uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature
suggests the host's inflammatory response to the ...
White matter compromise in veterans exposed to primary blast forces.
(J Head Trauma Rehabil, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVE: Use diffusion tensor imaging to investigate white matter alterations associated
with blast exposure with or without acute symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
PARTICIPANTS: Forty-five veterans of the recent ...
