A prospective comparison of a noninvasive cardiac output monitor versus esophageal Doppler monitor for goal-directed fluid therapy in colorectal surgery patients.
(Anesth Analg, 2014-05)
BACKGROUND: Goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) is associated with improved outcomes
after surgery. The esophageal Doppler monitor (EDM) is widely used, but has several
limitations. The NICOM, a completely noninvasive cardiac ...
Differential developmental trajectories of magnetic susceptibility in human brain gray and white matter over the lifespan.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2014-06)
As indicated by several recent studies, magnetic susceptibility of the brain is influenced
mainly by myelin in the white matter and by iron deposits in the deep nuclei. Myelination
and iron deposition in the brain evolve ...
The role of lipid-related genes, aging-related processes, and environment in healthspan.
(Aging Cell, 2013-04)
The inherent complexity of aging-related traits can temper progress in unraveling
the genetic origins of healthspan. We focus on two generations in the Framingham Heart
Study, the original (FHS) and offspring (FHSO) cohorts, ...
Interstitial engraftment of adipose-derived stem cells into an acellular dermal matrix results in improved inward angiogenesis and tissue incorporation.
(J Biomed Mater Res A, 2013-10)
Acellular dermal matrices (ADM) are commonly used in reconstructive procedures and
rely on host cell invasion to become incorporated into host tissues. We investigated
different approaches to adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) ...
Trade-offs between cancer and other diseases: do they exist and influence longevity?
(Rejuvenation Res, 2010-08)
Relationships between aging, disease risks, and longevity are not yet well understood.
For example, joint increases in cancer risk and total survival observed in many human
populations and some experimental aging studies ...
Two genes on A/J chromosome 18 are associated with susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infection by combined microarray and QTL analyses.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-09-02)
Although it has recently been shown that A/J mice are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus
aureus sepsis as compared to C57BL/6J, the specific genes responsible for this differential
phenotype are unknown. Using chromosome ...
Age, gender, and cancer but not neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases strongly modulate systemic effect of the Apolipoprotein E4 allele on lifespan.
(PLoS Genet, 2014-01)
Enduring interest in the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is ensured by its evolutionary-driven
uniqueness in humans and its prominent role in geriatrics and gerontology. We use
large samples of longitudinally followed ...
MRP3: a molecular target for human glioblastoma multiforme immunotherapy.
(BMC Cancer, 2010-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is refractory to conventional therapies.
To overcome the problem of heterogeneity, more brain tumor markers are required for
prognosis and targeted therapy. We have identified and ...
An aberrant SREBP-dependent lipogenic program promotes metastatic prostate cancer.
(Nature genetics, 2018-02)
Lipids, either endogenously synthesized or exogenous, have been linked to human cancer.
Here we found that PML is frequently co-deleted with PTEN in metastatic human prostate
cancer (CaP). We demonstrated that conditional ...
Preclinical and Coclinical Studies in Prostate Cancer.
(Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine, 2018-04-02)
Men who develop metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) will invariably
succumb to their disease. Thus there remains a pressing need for preclinical testing
of new drugs and drug combinations for late-stage ...
