Concurrently, there is an increased prevalence of various pulmonary diseases and cancer in older individuals (2). This issue reviews our current understanding of the diagnostic, epidemiologic, and biologic aspects of the aging lung.Carlos A. Vaz Fragoso...
Cancer cachexia is defined as a multi-factorial syndrome characterised by an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass and progressive functional impairment, estimated to affect 50–80% of patients and responsible for 20% of cance...

greater contribution to variation in cardiac output. This lack of response to preload has been attributed to poor compliance of the myocardium, but it may also result from extrinsic compression of thefetal heartthat is relieved with aeration of the lungs and clearance of lung fluid (Grant, 1999...
The concept of cancer as a cell-autonomous disease has been challenged by the wealth of knowledge gathered in the past decades on the importance of tumor microenvironment (TM) in cancer progression and metastasis. The significance of endothelial cells (E
coupled receptors that, when activated, reduce cAMP levels. Five receptor subtypes exist, subtypes 1-5. All 5 are present within the brain; however, each receptor has tissue specificity. Subtype 1 is present in the brain, lung, pancreas, liver, and GI tract. Subtype 2 is found in the ...
