Vascular network remodeling via vessel cooption, regression and growth in tumors [PDF]
The transformation of the regular vasculature in normal tissue into a highly inhomogeneous tumor specific capillary network is described by a theoretical model incorporating tumor growth, vessel cooption, neo-vascularization, vessel collapse and cell death. Compartmentalization of the tumor into several regions differing in vessel density, diameter and

Harnessing tumor necrosis factor alpha to achieve effective cancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a pleiotropic cytokine known to have contradictory roles in oncoimmunology. Indeed, TNFα has a central role in the onset of the immune response, inducing both activation and the effector function of macrophages ...

Machine Learning Based Radiomics for Glial Tumor Classification and Comparison with Volumetric Analysis [PDF]
Purpose; The purpose of this study is to classify glial tumors into grade II, III and IV categories noninvasively by application of machine learning to multi-modal MRI features in comparison with volumetric analysis. Methods; We retrospectively studied 57 glioma patients with pre and postcontrast T1 weighted, T2 weighted, FLAIR images, and ADC maps ...

Sinusitis in patients on tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors [PDF]
BackgroundTumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) inhibitors have revolutionized treatment of many inflammatory diseases. Sinusitis after initiation of TNF‐α inhibitors has been observed, but has not been well described in the literature. We aim to characterize the clinical features of sinusitis in patients on anti‐TNF‐α therapy.MethodsThis is a ...
