Relaxed and active thin filament structures; a new structural basis for the regulatory mechanism.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2017-03-01)
The structures of muscle thin filaments reconstituted using skeletal actin and cardiac troponin and tropomyosin have been determined with and without bound Ca2+ using electron microscopy and reference-free single particle ...
An Irreversible Inhibitor of HSP72 that Unexpectedly Targets Lysine-56.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2017-03-20)
The stress-inducible molecular chaperone, HSP72, is an important therapeutic target in oncology, but inhibiting this protein with small molecules has proven particularly challenging. Validating HSP72 inhibitors in cells ...
Phase III Soft Tissue Sarcoma Trials: Success or Failure?
(SPRINGER, 2017-03-01)
Two recently reported phase III randomised control trials (RCTs) have resulted in the registration of two new systemic therapies for advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Both of these trials' designs were informed by phase II ...
Symptom clusters for revising scale membership in the analysis of prostate cancer patient reported outcome measures: a secondary data analysis of the Medical Research Council RT01 trial (ISCRTN47772397).
(SPRINGER, 2017-08-01)
PURPOSE: To investigate the role of symptom clusters in the analysis and utilisation of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for data modelling and clinical practice. To compare symptom clusters with scales, and to ...
Mendelian randomisation implicates hyperlipidaemia as a risk factor for colorectal cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-06-15)
While elevated blood cholesterol has been associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in observational studies, causality is uncertain. Here we apply a Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis to examine the ...
The Role of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2017-04-01)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: It is now accepted that prostate cancer has a low alpha/beta ratio, establishing a strong basis for hypofractionation of prostate radiotherapy. This review focuses on the rationale for hypofractionation ...
Lung volume reproducibility under ABC control and self-sustained breath-holding.
(WILEY, 2017-03-01)
An Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) can be employed to induce breath-holds during CT imaging and radiotherapy of lung, breast and liver cancer, and recently during lung cancer MRI. The apparatus measures and controls ...
A randomized phase III study of 72 h infusional versus bolus bleomycin in BEP (bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin) chemotherapy to treat IGCCCG good prognosis metastatic germ cell tumours (TE-3).
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Bleomycin is an integral part of combination chemotherapy in germ cell tumours. Pulmonary toxicity often necessitates drug cessation and death occurs in 1%-2% of patients. A continuous infusion of bleomycin ...
InfuShield: a shielded enclosure for administering therapeutic radioisotope treatments using standard syringe pumps.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-03-01)
The administration of radionuclide therapies presents significant radiation protection challenges. The aim of this work was to develop a delivery system for intravenous radioisotope therapies to substantially moderate ...
