Snap, crackle and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck.
(BMJ, 2018-01-15)Spontaneous perforation of the pharynx is an unusual condition. Due to its non-specific presentation and general lack of awareness, diagnosis and intervention may be delayed resulting in potential complications. This case ... -
SNP interaction pattern identifier (SIPI): an intensive search for SNP-SNP interaction patterns.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-03-15)MOTIVATION: Testing SNP-SNP interactions is considered as a key for overcoming bottlenecks of genetic association studies. However, related statistical methods for testing SNP-SNP interactions are underdeveloped. RESULTS: ... -
Social and Contextual Influences on Antibiotic Prescribing and Antimicrobial Stewardship: A Qualitative Study with Clinical Commissioning Group and General Practice Professionals.
(MDPI AG, 2020-12-01)Antibiotic prescribing in England varies considerably between Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and general practices. We aimed to assess social and contextual factors affecting antibiotic prescribing and engagement ... -
SOCIETY FOR ENDOCRINOLOGY ENDOCRINE EMERGENCY GUIDANCE: Acute management of the endocrine complications of checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2018-07-01)Immunotherapy treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) (CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors) significantly improves survival in a number of cancers. Treatment can be limited by immune-mediated adverse effects including endocrinopathies ... -
Sociodemographic profiles, educational attainment and physical activity associated with The Daily Mile™ registration in primary schools in England: a national cross-sectional linkage study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-02-01)OBJECTIVE: To examine primary school and local authority characteristics associated with registration for The Daily Mile (TDM), an active mile initiative aimed at increasing physical activity in children. DESIGN: A ... -
Soft tissue sarcomas in adolescents and young adults: a comparison with their paediatric and adult counterparts.
(2017-03-02)Survival outcomes for adolescent and young adult patients with soft tissue sarcomas lag behind those of children diagnosed with histologically similar tumours. To help understand these differences in outcomes, we discuss ... -
Solitary fibrous tumor: molecular hallmarks and treatment for a rare sarcoma.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2021-09-01)Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma subtype which mainly affects adults in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Originally part of a spectrum of tumors called hemangiopericytomas, classification has ... -
SOLLID - a single centre study to develop methods to investigate the effects of low radiation doses within nuclear medicine, to enable multicentre epidemiological investigations.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2021-03-01)There is continuing debate concerning the risks of secondary malignancies from low levels of radiation exposure. The current model used for radiation protection is predicated on the assumption that even very low levels of ... -
Solution NMR assignment of the ARC4 domain of human tankyrase 2.
(SPRINGER, 2019-04-15)Tankyrases are poly(ADP-ribose)polymerases (PARPs) which recognize their substrates via their ankyrin repeat cluster (ARC) domains. The human tankyrases (TNKS/TNKS2) contain five ARCs in their extensive N-terminal region; ... -
Solution structure of the Hop TPR2A domain and investigation of target druggability by NMR, biochemical and in silico approaches.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-09-29)Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays an important role in tumour biology by promoting the stabilisation and activity of oncogenic 'client' proteins. Inhibition of Hsp90 by small-molecule drugs, ... -
Somatic mutations reveal asymmetric cellular dynamics in the early human embryo.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-30)Somatic cells acquire mutations throughout the course of an individual's life. Mutations occurring early in embryogenesis are often present in a substantial proportion of, but not all, cells in postnatal humans and thus ... -
Somatic PIK3CA Mutations in Sporadic Cerebral Cavernous Malformations.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2021-09-09)BACKGROUND: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common sporadic and inherited vascular malformations of the central nervous system. Although familial CCMs are linked to loss-of-function mutations in KRIT1 (CCM1), ... -
Sorafenib dose escalation in treatment-naïve patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a non-randomised, open-label, Phase 2b study.
(2017-06)Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of sorafenib dose escalation in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Patients and methods Intra-patient dose escalation may enhance the clinical benefit of targeted anticancer ... -
Sorafenib in combination with transarterial chemoembolisation in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (TACE 2): a randomised placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 trial.
(2017-08)Background Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is the standard of care for patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma, while the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib improves survival in patients with advanced ... -

(CELL PRESS, 2023-05-08)Wu et al. report that patients with hematologic malignancies have reduced immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants and Sotrovimab retains neutralizing capacity against all tested Omicron subvariants. -
SOX11 promotes epithelial/mesenchymal hybrid state and alters tropism of invasive breast cancer cells.
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2020-09-10)SOX11 is an embryonic mammary epithelial marker that is normally silenced prior to birth. High SOX11 levels in breast tumours are significantly associated with distant metastasis and poor outcome in breast cancer patients. ... -
