The Influence of Antireflux Surgery on Esophageal Cancer Risk in England: National Population-based Cohort Study.
(2018-11)Objective To evaluate how antireflux surgery influences the risk of esophageal cancer in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett esophagus.Background GERD is a major risk factor for esophageal ... -
The influence of obesity-related factors in the etiology of renal cell carcinoma-A mendelian randomization study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-01-03)BACKGROUND: Several obesity-related factors have been associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but it is unclear which individual factors directly influence risk. We addressed this question using genetic markers as ... -
The integration of BRCA testing into oncology clinics.
(2016-06)Purpose The PARP inhibitor, Olaparib, is approved for women with BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer. Therefore there is an urgent need to test patients and obtain results in time to influence treatment. Models of BRCA testing, ... -
The Intensity-Modulated Pelvic Node and Bladder Radiotherapy (IMPART) Trial: A Phase II Single-Centre Prospective Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-02-01)AIMS: Node-positive bladder cancer (NPBC) carries a poor prognosis and has traditionally been treated palliatively. However, surgical series suggest that a subset of NPBC patients can achieve long-term control after ... -
The Interacting Head Motif Structure Does Not Explain the X-Ray Diffraction Patterns in Relaxed Vertebrate (Bony Fish) Skeletal Muscle and Insect (Lethocerus) Flight Muscle.
(MDPI, 2019-09-14)Unlike electron microscopy, which can achieve very high resolution but to date can only be used to study static structures, time-resolved X-ray diffraction from contracting muscles can, in principle, be used to follow the ... -
The internal dosimetry user group position statement on molecular radiotherapy.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2021-10-01)The Internal Dosimetry User Group (IDUG) is an independent, non-profit group of medical professionals dedicated to the promotion of dosimetry in molecular radiotherapy (www.IDUG.org.uk). The Ionising Radiation (Medical ... -

The Interplay of Cesarean-Section Delivery and First-Birth Order as Risk Factors in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-03-06)BACKGROUND: Childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) has been associated with early-life exposures, including birth by cesarean section (C-section), and a deficit of social exposure (first child). ... -
The Intracranial Distribution of Gliomas in Relation to Exposure From Mobile Phones: Analyses From the INTERPHONE Study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-12-01)When investigating the association between brain tumors and use of mobile telephones, accurate data on tumor position are essential, due to the highly localized absorption of energy in the human brain from the radio-frequency ... -
The Jun-dependent axon regeneration gene program: Jun promotes regeneration over plasticity.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-04-22)The regeneration-associated gene (RAG) expression program is activated in injured peripheral neurons after axotomy and enables long-distance axon re-growth. Over 1000 genes are regulated, and many transcription factors are ... -
The kinase polypharmacology landscape of clinical PARP inhibitors.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-17)Polypharmacology plays an important role in defining response and adverse effects of drugs. For some mechanisms, experimentally mapping polypharmacology is commonplace, although this is typically done within the same protein ... -
The Ku-binding motif is a conserved module for recruitment and stimulation of non-homologous end-joining proteins.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-04-11)The Ku-binding motif (KBM) is a short peptide module first identified in APLF that we now show is also present in Werner syndrome protein (WRN) and in Modulator of retrovirus infection homologue (MRI). We also identify a ... -
The landscape of RNA polymerase II-associated chromatin interactions in prostate cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2020-08-03)Transcriptional dysregulation is a hallmark of prostate cancer (PCa). We mapped the RNA polymerase II-associated (RNA Pol II-associated) chromatin interactions in normal prostate cells and PCa cells. We discovered thousands ... -
The landscape of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in sarcomas: looking beyond pazopanib.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-10-30)Introduction: Tyrosine kinases are key mediators of intracellular signaling cascades and aberrations in these proteins have been implicated in driving oncogenesis through the dysregulation of fundamental cellular processes ... -
