Isolated rectus abdominis metastasis from melanoma—An extremely rare case
(Elsevier, 2016)
INTRODUCTION: Melanoma is a health problem world-wide. Its incidence has tripled in the last decade. The main cause of death in melanoma patients is widespread metastases. It can metastasize to almost every organ. However, ...
Periprosthetic seroma with false-positive FDG PET-CT reactive nodes mistaken for metastases in a patient previously treated of metastasic melanoma. Potential source of diagnostic errors
(MDPI, 2017)
INTRODUCTION: FDG PET/CT is believed to be crucial in oncology, but its limited specificity represents a challenge. Prosthetic meshes used for repair abdominal defects may lead to false-positives FDG PET/CT uptake, over ...
Validation of a screening questionnaire for hip and knee osteoarthritis in old people
(BioMed Central, 2007-08-23)
Background: To develop a sensitive and specific screening tool for knee and hip osteoarthritis in the general population of elderly people.
Methods: The Knee and Hip OsteoArthritis Screening Questionnaire (KHOA- SQ) was ...
Longitudinal Evaluation of a Novel BChE PET Tracer as An Early In Vivo Biomarker in the Brain of a Mouse Model for Alzheimer Disease
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2021-04-26)
Purpose: The increase in butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity in the brain of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and animal models of AD position this enzyme as a potential biomarker of the disease. However, the information ...
(Pro)renin Receptor Expression Increases throughout the Colorectal Adenoma-Adenocarcinoma Sequence and It Is Associated with Worse Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(MDPI, 2019-06-24)
(Pro)renin receptor (PRR) is a protein that takes part in several signaling pathways such as Renin Angiotensin System and Wnt signalling. Its biological role has recently been related to cancer progression and in this ...
Integrative Analysis of Transcriptomics and Clinical Data Uncovers the Tumor- Suppressive Activity of MITF in Prostate Cancer
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-11)
The dysregulation of gene expression is an enabling hallmark of cancer. Computational analysis of transcriptomics data from human cancer specimens, complemented with exhaustive clinical annotation, provides an opportunity ...
Effects of Resistance Training Intervention along with Leucine-Enriched Whey Protein Supplementation on Sarcopenia and Frailty in Post-Hospitalized Older Adults: Preliminary Findings of a Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2021-12-24)
Resistance training and protein supplementation are expected to exert the greatest effect in counteracting muscle-wasting conditions. Myokines might play a key role, but this remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study ...
Evaluation of Alpha 1-Antitrypsin and the Levels of mRNA Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7, Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor and COX-2 for the Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-02)
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of death from cancer in both men and women in the majority of developed countries. Molecular tests of blood could potentially provide this ideal screening ...
The altered serum lipidome and its diagnostic potential for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFL)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is affecting more people globally. Indeed, NAFLD is a spectrum of metabolic dysfunctions that can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC). This development ...
