Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Different Effects of Low Weight Molecular Heparin and Unfractioned Heparin on Lipid Profile and Coagulation at Haemodialysis Patients

Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2010
Each haemodialysis treatment requires the application of anticoagulation medicines, which will prevent coagulation in extracorporal blood circulation. In this study we try to determine the quality of admitted anticoagulant and his effect on lipid profile

The Effectiveness of Anti‐Adhesion Barriers on Prevention of Postoperative Adhesive Bowel Obstruction: Disease‐Free Survival Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We performed a survival analysis of abdominal gastroenterological cancer surgery cases with and without anti‐adhesive barriers, with the development of adhesive bowel obstruction as the outcome. The incidence of adhesive bowel obstruction was significantly lower in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic colorectal surgery in the anti‐adhesive ...

Nationwide Real‐World Modeling of Surgical Outcomes in Elderly Patients: Incorporating Geriatric‐Specific Risk Factors Into Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A reliable and effective risk prediction model for mortality and morbidity in elderly patients undergoing gastroenterological surgeries was developed and validated. Geriatric‐specific risk factors, including the newly added variables in the NCD registry, along with age, were identified as significant contributors to the model. ABSTRACT Aim As the aging
