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
This is a 12-week prospective study with two phases. In Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4), participants will self-monitor their blood pressure using the Qardio bluetooth device. In Phase 2 (Weeks 5-12), the investigators will implement the auto-messaging system triggered by a weekly average systolic blood
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by bradykinesia (slowness of movements) associated with tremor at rest and/or muscle rigidity. PD is typically associated with a significant loss of dopaminergic neurons in the
At admission eligible patients are proposed to participate. Written consent is signed after complete oral and written explanation of the protocol is signed.

Incidence of polycythemia vera ranged 0.01 to 2.61 per 100.000 population and the prevalence ranging from 0.49 to 46.88 per 100.000 population. Incidence of essential thrombocythemia is 0.21 to 2.27 per 100.000
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
Integrins
Integrins are a group of molecules responsible for intercellular adhesion and signalling. They comprise a superfamily of heterodimeric receptors that are composed of 18 different α and β subunits. In combination, they can generate 24 different receptor subtypes with a range of

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
Rapidly growing aging society augmented the risk of age-associated disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Dietary interventions that reduce daily energy intake, also known as caloric restriction (CR), has been shown to be the most robust intervention to
There is an unmet clinical need for effective therapy of breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain. In this scenario, median survival is around 12 months using currently available therapeutic interventions. The majority of chemotherapy-based clinical trials have considered the presence of

BACKGROUND:
1. Delayed ischaemia deficits in subarachnoid haemorrhage
Seven thousand patients suffer SAH each year within the UK with young adults (<55 years) being equally affected. Cerebral vasospasm and related cerebral ischemia are the major causes of delayed morbidity and mortality in patients
Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease in which homogentisic acid (HGA), an intermediary metabolite in tyrosine catabolism, accumulates due to deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. Patients with alkaptonuria exhibit homogentisic aciduria and ochronosis, or dark pigmentation of
