Linking bronchopulmonary dysplasia to adult chronic lung diseases : role of WNT signaling

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in infants caused by pre- and/or postnatal lung injury. BPD is characterized by arrested alveolarization and vascularization due to extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, and impaired growth factor signaling. WNT signaling is a critical pathway for normal lung development, and its altered signaling has been sh

An Official American Thoracic Society Workshop Report 2015. Stem Cells and Cell Therapies in Lung Biology and Diseases

The University of Vermont College of Medicine, in collaboration with the NHLBI, Alpha-1 Foundation, American Thoracic Society, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, European Respiratory Society, International Society for Cellular Therapy, and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, convened a workshop, "Stem Cells and Cell Therapies in Lung Biology and Lung Diseases," held July 27 to 30, 2015, at the University

A Forecasting Based Hierarchical Energy Management for Sustainable Data Centers

Renewable energy (RE) integrated with a hybrid electric-hydrogen storage system (HEHSS) is considered a promising solution for data centers to increase their energy efficiency and decrease their greenhouse emissions. This paper proposes a forecasting based hierarchical energy management strategy for a data center with wind energy, tidal energy and HEHSS, which is taken as a microgrid. A multi-popu

Inter-institutional analysis of the outcome after postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Introduction: Patients requiring postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A-ECMO) have a high risk of early mortality. In this analysis, we evaluated whether any interinstitutional difference exists in the results of postcardiotomy V-A-ECMO. Methods: Studies on postcardiotomy V-A-ECMO were identified through a systematic review for individual patient data (IPD) meta-anal

Dopamine agonist serum concentrations and impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease

Background and purpose: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are common among Parkinson's disease patients using dopamine agonists. We wanted to determine whether ICD patients have higher dopamine agonist serum concentrations than those without any sign of ICD. Methods: Patients who used either pramipexole or ropinirole depot once daily were screened for ICDs using the validated Questionnaire for Impu

Vulvar cancer incidence and net survival in Sweden 1960 to 2019 : A population-based national study

Introduction: Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological cancer affecting mostly older women. The aim of this population-based study was to investigate the incidence and net survival of vulvar cancer in Swedish women from 1960 to 2019. Material and methods: Data were retrieved from the mandatory Swedish Cancer Registry consisting of all women diagnosed with vulvar cancer between 1960 and 2019. Only wom

A systematic practice review : Providing palliative care for people with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers

Background: People with Parkinson’s disease has significant and increasing physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs, as well as problems with coordination and continuity of care. Despite the benefits that palliative care could offer, there is no consensus on how it should be delivered. Aim: The aim of this study is to provide a pragmatic overview of the evidence to make clinical recommendations

EFOMP policy statement NO. 19 : Dosimetry in nuclear medicine therapy – Molecular radiotherapy

The European Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom (BSS Directive) includes optimisation of treatment with radiotherapeutic procedures based on patient dosimetry and verification of the absorbed doses delivered. The present policy statement summarises aspects of three directives relating to the therapeutic use of radiopharmaceuticals and medical devices, and outlines the steps needed for implementatio
