Design and Validation of the GI-NEC Score to Prognosticate Overall Survival in Patients With High-Grade Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Carcinomas [PDF]

Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2017
Prognostic markers for risk stratification of patients with gastrointestinal high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (GI-NECs) are lacking; we designed and validated a prognostic score for overall survival (OS).Consecutive patients diagnosed in five neuroendocrine specialist European centers were included.

Efficacy and heterogeneity: an exclusive human milk diet for necrotizing enterocolitis prevention in very preterm infants—a systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 studies [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundNecrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in very preterm infants. While human milk is known to reduce NEC risk, the efficacy of an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD), which avoids all bovine-based ...
