A central pillar of the scientific process is to study how cells respond to controlled changes in specific factors. This hypothesis-driven, reductionist approach is necessary for ranking the various possible factors that influence cancer progression. However, this strategy raises the critical question of...
HCC was the most common preoperative diagnosis, occurring in 5 of seven patients (71.4%). Three of the seven patients were correctly diagnosed with sclerosing HCC preoperatively. The median overall survival and disease-free survival of these seven patients were 20 and 9 months, respectively. ...
In the case of HCC, less than 10% patients with NAFLD develop this complication, but studies have shown that NAFLD patients who received liver transplants were 10% more likely to be diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma than those without this diagnosis [14]. Non-obese people are less likely...
2. The Multiple Facets of Cancer Stem Cells and Their Role in Tumour Development and Progression While a few decades ago the mere existence of cancer stem cells was still questionable, the contribution of evidence-based medicine to today’s knowledge confirms the presence of primitive, undifferentia...
43.5 U/L in HCC; P <0.0001), GGTL (mean, 24.6 U/L in cirrhosis, 44 U/L in HCC; P <0.005), and AFP (mean, 55.9 [micro]g/L in cirrhosis, 1440.9 [micro]g/L in HCC; P <0.002) concentrations were significantly higher (Student t-test) in patients with small HCC than in contr...
Results: The mean LVIDd was 54.631.79 mm, IVST 9.860.89 mm, PWTd 8.630.73 mm, and LVM 196.3622.86 gm in athletes and 40.632.08, 8.520.37, 8.040.32, 102.511.01 in controls respectively. Athlete's heart: the left ventricular remodeling in Pakistani elite endurance athletes The following ...
However,MDHL, which showed that patients with values equal to or below the mean of healthy subjects (for younger than 10 years: 1.71 in males and 1.98 in females; for older than 10 years: 1.80 in males and 1.76 in females) were most likely to have IDA and those whoseMDHLvalue was gre...
Conclusions: TARE is a safe therapeutic option with potential advantages in its capacity to necrotize and reduce the size of the HCC for downstaging or bridging in LT. Keywords: liver transplant; hepatocellular carcinoma; downstaging; bridging; transarterial radioembolization...
The quadratic mean-based fusion of (9) can then be thought of as emerging from a normalized distance measure between such feature vectors in the corresponding ambient embedding space Rn. Let us now consider the effects of the two fusion approaches in more detail. Firstly, note that scoring ...
The mean AKE and PKE angles calculated for the right and the left extremities were recorded (average of three measurements). The Cut-off Values for the Diagnosis of Hamstring Shortness and Related Factors Feeding PKE to lactating sows tended (p < 0.10) to increase average body weight gain of...
