Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies for Minority Cell‐Induced Paclitaxel Resistance and Tumor Progression Mediated by Mechanical Forces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study provides new perspectives into the interactions between mechanical forces and cellular dynamics within the tumor microenvironment, particularly elucidating how minority Paclitaxel‐resistant cancer cells (MRCs) promote tumor progression and treatment resistance through mechanical forces and also providing effective treatment strategies for ...

Fluoroscopy-based navigation system in spine surgery [PDF]

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of Engineering in Medicine 221, 7 (2007) 813-20, 2007
The variability in width, height, and spatial orientation of a spinal pedicle makes pedicle screw insertion a delicate operation. The aim of the current paper is to describe a computer-assisted surgical navigation system based on fluoroscopic X-ray image calibration and three-dimensional optical localizers in order to reduce radiation exposure while ...

Flavonifractor Plautii or Its Metabolite Desaminotyrosine as Prophylactic Agents for Alleviating Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Pulmonary Hamartoma: Case Report

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2017
Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung. It accounts for 77% of all benign lung tumors but less than 1% of all lung tumors. Malignant alteration is ­extremely rare. Surgical removal is therapy of choice.

Improved Dynamic Predictions from Joint Models of Longitudinal and Survival Data with Time-Varying Effects using P-splines [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
In the field of cardio-thoracic surgery, valve function is monitored over time after surgery. The motivation for our research comes from a study which includes patients who received a human tissue valve in the aortic position. These patients are followed prospectively over time by standardized echocardiographic assessment of valve function.

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Most blunt aortic injuries occur in the proximal proximal descending aorta causing acute transection of this vessel. Generally, surgical repair of the ruptured segment of aorta is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality and in

Enhanced recovery pathways in thoracic surgery from Italian VATS Group: perioperative analgesia protocols.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive technique that allows a faster recovery after thoracic surgery. Although enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) principles seem reasonably applicable to thoracic surgery, there is little

Identification of CD38high Monocyte as a Candidate Diagnostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that CD38high monocytes discriminate sepsis and sterile inflammation and are associated with 28‐day mortality in bacterial sepsis. Targeting CD38 therapy reduces inflammatory response in monocytes and in sepsis mice model. Mechanistically, CD38‐HIF‐1α/glycolysis/MGO loop exacerbates sepsis‐induced immune dysregulation.
