INTRODUCTION Despite advances in care, preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide and its syndromic nature makes diagnosis and management difficult.1 Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome, defined by new onset hypertension and
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive external retinal degeneration resulting from mutation in any of the 260 genes found in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The progression rate and findings of the disease are heterogeneous according to genetic mutation and heredity type. The initial
Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is high in China especially in southern China. Radiotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for NPC and greatly improves patient survival. Along with promising therapeutic effects, complications such as radiation dermatitis, temporal lobe necrosis,
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
Brain metastases (BM) develop in 22-54% of NSCLC patients during the disease course. NSCLC patients with BM with a median overall survival (OS) of 2-3 months when treated with systemic corticosteroid alone, and a median OS of 3-6 months when treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
The investigators performed an open label phase I clinical trial using two commercially available doses of Nilotinib (150 and 300mg capsules) in patients with advanced PDD and DLB. These indications have some overlapping pathologies and clinical symptoms and share common plasma and CSF biomarkers,
Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has
Sorafenib is multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It blocks path that such as Raf-1, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR), Platelet-Drived Growth Factor Receptor-β (PDGFR-β), c-Jit, Flt-3. Sorafenib was known to increase life rate about processed hepatocellular carcinoma. So it is
High-grade gliomas of the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by profound tumor related neo-angiogenesis, and intracranial perilesional edema. Glioblastoma (WHO-grade IV glioma) expresses high levels of VEGF and frequently carries an amplified gene copy numbers of the VEGFR2, KIT and
Preeclampsia is a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that occurs after 20 weeks' gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks' postpartum. It is clinically defined by as blood pressure ≥140 mmHg systolic and ≥90 mmHg diastolic diagnosed for the first time after
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and most malignant primary brain tumor, represents a major medical challenge considering its extremely poor prognosis (Wen 2008). Current standard of care includes maximal surgical resection, followed by concomitant radio-chemotherapy (temozolomide - TMZ) (RT-CT)
Introduction Preeclampsia is a multifactorial disease that is responsible of important adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Recently, it has been suggested that soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, s-Flt1, induces preeclampsia-like phenotype in experimental models and circulates at elevated
Systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease that causes inflammation, vascular damage and fibrosis. Besides involvement of skin, fibrosis also affects many internal organ involving blood vessel, lungs, heart, kidney etc. Although advances in understanding in
