A comparison of pathological methods of measuring lung cancer volume. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1996
To determine which of several pathological methods of measuring lung cancer volume compared most favourably with the gold standard.Three pathological methods were used on 54 resected lung cancers: (1) measuring the maximum dimension and assuming a spherical shape; (2) measuring three dimensions and assuming an ellipsoidal shape; and (3) deriving the ...

Landscape of BRAF transcript variants in human cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We investigate the annotation of BRAF variants, focusing on protein‐coding BRAF‐220 (formerly BRAF‐reference) and BRAF‐204 (BRAF‐X1). The IsoWorm pipeline allows us to quantify these variants in human cancer, starting from RNA‐sequencing data. BRAF‐204 is more abundant than BRAF‐220 and impacts patient survival.

Automated Quantitative Analysis of a Mouse Model of Chronic Pulmonary Inflammation using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography [PDF]

, 2011
Micro-CT has emerged as an excellent tool for in-vivo imaging of the lungs of small laboratory animals. Several studies have shown that it can be used to assess the evolution of pulmonary lung diseases in longitudinal studies.

Pulmonary function in primary pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2003
ObjectivesThe study was done to ascertain the degree to which abnormalities in resting lung function correlate with the disease severity of patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).BackgroundPatients with PPH are often difficult to diagnose ...

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

Relationship between body composition, inflammation and lung function in overweight and obese asthma

Respiratory Research, 2012
Background The obese-asthma phenotype is not well defined. The aim of this study was to examine both mechanical and inflammatory influences, by comparing lung function with body composition and airway inflammation in overweight and obese asthma.

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...
