The accumulation of pleural fluid during labour
(1997)
Objectives: Labour appears to promote the development of pleural effusion. The presence of pleural fluid at the end of normal pregnancy and after an uncomplicated labour was investigated using thoracic ultrasonography. ...
Pulmonary function abnormalities in young adults with thalassemia major
(1997)
Thalassemia seems to be the most common genetic disorder. The pathophysiologic mechanisms for lung impairment is not clear. Lung function tests in children showed small airway obstruction and restrictive lung changes. ...
Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome in a 52-year-old female: A case report and review of the literature
(2006)
Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare entity first described in 1975, affecting mainly young women and adolescents. We present a case of a 52-year-old female patient (one of the oldest in the ...
A large-scale genetic association study to evaluate the contribution of Omi/HtrA2 (PARK13) to Parkinson's disease
(2011)
High-profile studies have provided conflicting results regarding the involvement of the Omi/HtrA2 gene in Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility. Therefore, we performed a large-scale analysis of the association of common ...
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)
Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ...
Baseline levels of CD8+ T cells against survivin and survivin-2B in the blood of lung cancer patients and cancer-free individuals
(2008)
Survivin and its variant survivin-2B have been considered as potential candidates for cancer immunotherapy. The magnitude however of spontaneously occurring CD8+ T cells circulating precursor CTLs (pCTL), has never been ...
Minimally invasive and selective hydrodynamic gene therapy of liver segments in the pig and human
(2008)
This paper highlights our experience of the transfer of hydrodynamic gene therapy (HGT) from the large animal, the pig, into clinical practice. The modification of balloon catheters and the development of a minimally ...
Lack of replication of thirteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms implicated in Parkinson's disease: a large-scale international study
(2006)
Background: A genome-wide association study identified 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Parkinson's disease. Small-scale replication studies were largely non-confirmatory, but a ...
Computed tomography study of radial head morphology
(2008)
Computed tomography scans of 22 cadaveric adult elbows were obtained in 3 forearm positions: full supination, neutral, and full pronation. The radial head dimensions, the radiocapitellar joints, and the proximal radioulnar ...
