Effects of drug-eluting stents on systemic inflammatory response in patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Inflammatory markers are elevated in acute coronary syndromes, and are also known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neointimal proliferation and stent restenosis. Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have been shown to decrease stent restenosis in […]
Chemoprevention by white currant is mediated by the reduction of nuclear beta-catenin and NF-kappaB levels in Min mice adenomas.
BACKGROUND: Berries are a good natural source of phenolic compounds and many berries or their compounds have been shown to be chemopreventive. White currant is an interesting berry, as it contains low levels of […]
Duodenoduodenal Intussusception.
Duodenoduodenal intussusception is a rare event which is usually caused by the presence of a tumor. We present a case of duodenoduodenal intussusception secondary to a large tubulovillous adenoma causing gastric outlet and biliary obstruction in a 50-year-old female. The imaging features on ultrasonography, CT, and MRI are described.

Enhancing the Informal Curriculum of a Medical School: A Case Study in Organizational Culture Change.
BACKGROUND: Calls for organizational culture change are audible in many health care discourses today, including those focused on medical education, patient safety, service quality, and translational research. In spite of many efforts, traditional \”top-down\” approaches to changing culture […]
Criteria in Sentinel Lymph Nodes of Melanoma Patients that Predict Involvement of Nonsentinel Lymph Nodes.
BACKGROUND: Previous studies described various criteria in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) of melanoma patients that predict the involvement of further, nonsentinel lymph nodes (NSLN). Such criteria may facilitate the selection of patients who might benefit from a completion […]
An Interval >7 Weeks between Neoadjuvant Therapy and Surgery Improves Pathologic Complete Response and Disease-Free Survival in Patients with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.
BACKGROUND: We assessed whether the time interval between neoadjuvant therapy and surgery affects the operative and postoperative morbidity and mortality, the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, and disease recurrence in […]
Radical Resection After IORT-Containing Multimodality Treatment is the Most Important Determinant for Outcome in Patients Treated for Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer.
BACKGROUND: The optimal treatment for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) is still a matter of debate. This study assessed the outcome of LRRC patients treated with multimodality treatment, consisting of neoadjuvant radio […]

Treatment of locally recurrent epstein-barr virus-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma using the anti-viral agent cidofovir.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated malignant tumor. Recently, cidofovir, an anti-viral drug which is an acyclic nucleoside analogue, has been reported to have an anti-tumor potential. Two patients with NPC, who had previously received multi-round therapy, were treated […]
Detection of a broad range of human adenoviruses in respiratory tract samples using a sensitive multiplex real-time PCR assay.
Human adenoviruses (hAdVs) are associated with acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric populations and have been identified as a cause of outbreaks in institutional settings. Rapid diagnosis of hAdV infection is critical for appropriate […]
