There was no evidence that the fibrosis was due to recurrent acute infection, tuberculosis, fungal infection, X-radiation, sarcoidosis, syphilis or pneumonoconiosis. It resembles the fibrosing inflammation which may involve the aorta in spondylitis ankylopoietica and is possibly part of the ...
Radiation therapy, a common cancer treatment, eradicates cancer cells by inducing DNA damage. The ovaries are particularly susceptible to radiation damage due to their inherent properties [104]. Radiation exposure typically results in ovarian tissue atrophy and fibrosis, with antifibrotic drugs showing po...
as opposed to the glandular tissue, in which no difference in density was measured [16,20]. Notably, increased mammographic density was also found to be linked to increased density of lumican and decorin, proteoglycans implicated in both stromal integrity and growth pathways due to their...
Myofibroblasts ensure the maintenance of the connective tissue, but also its pathological transformation in case of exaggerated proliferation. Due to their contractility, these cells can modulate the thickness of the interstitial tissue, since in theabsenceof lung injury, the pulmonary epithelium have a...
Conventional transabdominal gray-scale B-mode US is often the first radiological assessment performed to evaluate the pancreas given its great availability, low cost, and lack of ionizing radiation [21,22,23]. While US is seldom useful in early-stage detection of CP, common pancreatic parenchymal...
Respiration-induced movement of the upper abdominal organs: a pitfall for the three-dimensional conformal radiation treatment of pancreatic cancer Respiration-induced movement of the upper abdominal organs (pancreas, liver and kidneys) was assessed in 12 subjects using dynamic magnetic resonance imagi......
[31,52,53,55]. Many are advocating for the inclusion of the entire breast tissue on screening and diagnostic scans obtained for other reasons, exposing the patient to no additional radiation, lost time, or expense, while contemporaneously increasing potential to diagnose breast lesions [31,32,52...
as each miRNA can regulate the expression of many genes due to the imperfect nature of miRNA binding to its target mRNA. In turn, the expression of each gene can be regulated by multiple miRNAs. This nature of miRNAs therefore offers a plethora of opportunities for each miRNA to regulate the...
Mice exposed to a high dose of ionizing radiation delivered to the left lung developed fibrosis at 6 weeks, which was attenuated by daily administration of LXA4. The effect of LXA4 was again receptor-dependent, as it could be blocked by an FPR2/ALX antagonist (Kim et al., 2020). ...
