screening to see if cancer is present is still important. If the doctor suspects cancer, then he may decide to proceed with a prostate biopsy. We recognize that not all patients need to be treated if they have prostate cancer. For example, an elderly patient...

The cellular and molecular mediators of peri-implant fibrosis—a most common reason for implant failure and for surgical revision after the replacement of a prosthetic joint—remain unclear. Here we show that peri-implant fibrotic tissue in mice and humans is largely composed of a specific populatio...
Early in this work, in 2010, a challenge was published in the BMJ: “The debate about aspirin has consumed the medical profession for over 30 years, [now, almost 50 years!] yet almost no public participation or consultation has occurred” [53]. In response, a 3-day far ranging enquiry...

It takes many hours and even a day or more for the anemia to develop while tissue fluid slowly dilutes the blood. For this reason, a red blood cell count early after bleeding is not reliable for estimating the severity of the bleeding. Subscribe to MedicineNet's Daily Health News ...
For this purpose, we selected RhoP23H/WT heterozygous mice that carry a missense mutation in the rhodopsin gene. TMB treatment of cyclic light-reared RhoP23H/WT female mice was started at P21, and drug efficacy was tested in 7-month-long trials (Fig. 6A). At relatively early disease ...
With a clinical trial using hyperpolarised [1-13C]pyruvate about to start in prostate cancer (Brindle, 2008b), there is a reasonable expectation that the technique could translate to the clinic, where it offers a new functional imaging approach to detect early tumour responses to treatment. We...
Inflammation is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. Inflammation can be cl...
