Association between intrahospital transfer and hospital-acquired infection in the elderly: a retrospective case-control study in a UK hospital network.
(BMJ, 2021-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Intrahospital transfers have become more common as hospital staff balance patient needs with bed availability. However, this may leave patients more vulnerable to potential pathogen transmission routes via ...
Associations between genetic variants in mRNA splicing-related genes and risk of lung cancer: a pathway-based analysis from published GWASs.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-17)
mRNA splicing is an important mechanism to regulate mRNA expression. Abnormal regulation of this process may lead to lung cancer. Here, we investigated the associations of 11,966 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ...
Immune responses to COVID-19 booster vaccinations in intensively anti-CD38 antibody treated patients with ultra-high-risk multiple myeloma: results from the Myeloma UK (MUK) nine OPTIMUM trial.
(WILEY, 2023-06-01)
Multiple myeloma (MM) and anti-MM therapy cause profound immunosuppression, leaving patients vulnerable to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other infections. We investigated anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome ...
Rhabdomyosarcoma with unknown primary tumor site: A report from European pediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG).
(WILEY, 2022-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive malignancy, and 20% of children present with metastases at diagnosis. Patients presenting with disseminated disease very occasionally have no clear evidence of a primary ...
Management of the vertebrae as an organ at risk in paediatric radiotherapy clinical trials: Initial QUARTET experience.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-10-01)
Irradiation of the vertebrae in prepubertal patients, if non-homogenous, can result in future growth deformities including kyphoscoliosis. Vertebral delineation and dosimetry were assessed for 101 paediatric cases reviewed ...
Nbeal2 interacts with Dock7, Sec16a, and Vac14.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-03-01)
Mutations in NBEAL2, the gene encoding the scaffolding protein Nbeal2, are causal of gray platelet syndrome (GPS), a rare recessive bleeding disorder characterized by platelets lacking α-granules and progressive marrow ...
A novel molecular signature identifies mixed subtypes in renal cell carcinoma with poor prognosis and independent response to immunotherapy.
(BMC, 2022-09-15)
BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a heterogeneous disease comprising histologically defined subtypes. For therapy selection, precise subtype identification and individualized prognosis are mandatory, but currently ...
Toxicity, normal tissue and dose-volume planning parameters for radiotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities: A systematic review of the literature.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities (STSE) are left with high incidence of toxicities after Radiotherapy (RT). Understanding the normal tissue dose relationship with the development of long-term ...
Establishing a colorectal cancer research database from routinely collected health data: the process and potential from a pilot study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-06-01)
OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer is a common cause of death and morbidity. A significant amount of data are routinely collected during patient treatment, but they are not generally available for research. The National Institute ...
A novel role for NUPR1 in the keratinocyte stress response to UV oxidized phospholipids.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-01-01)
Ultraviolet light is the dominant environmental oxidative skin stressor and a major skin aging factor. We studied which oxidized phospholipid (OxPL) mediators would be generated in primary human keratinocytes (KC) upon ...
