The Axis of Progression of Disease [PDF]
Starting with genetic or environmental perturbations, disease progression can involve a linear sequence of changes within individual cells. More often, however, a labyrinth of branching consequences emanates from the initial events. How can one repair an entity so fine and so complex that its organization and functions are only partially known?

Progression of glomerular diseases [PDF]
Abstract. The nature and slope of progression of glomerular diseases is the subject of considerable discussion. The use of renal biopsies has been accompanied by considerable improvement in the classification of glomerular disease. However, the clinical and histological tools available to assess prognosis in individual patients lack accuracy ...

Biomarkers of Disease Progression [PDF]
After being informed about a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), patients are often concerned about the risk of disease progression and future prognosis. Many are naturally concerned over the future course, severity of the disease, and likely disability.

Rapid Breast Cancer Disease Progression Following Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4 and 6 Inhibitor Discontinuation. [PDF]
Background: CDK 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i), which arrest unregulated cancer cell proliferation, show clinical efficacy in breast cancer. Unexpectedly, a patient treated on a CDK4/6i-based trial, as first-line therapy in metastatic breast cancer ...

Lighter serum copper isotopic composition in patients with early non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]
Objective The occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is globally increasing. To challenge the current incidence of NAFLD, non-invasive markers that could identify patients at risk or monitor disease progression are an important need ...

Invariant NKT cells contribute to chronic lymphocytic leukemia surveillance and prognosis [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant CD5(+) B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. CD1d-restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes strongly implicated in

Intraocular Pressure Fluctuation: Is It Important? [PDF]
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Previous prospective, randomized, long-term studies have demonstrated the strength of IOP reduction in slowing the progression of disease.
