Association Between Cigarette Smoking Prevalence and Income Level: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
(Oxford University Press, 2017-09)
INTRODUCTION:
Previous evidence linked low socioeconomic status with higher smoking prevalence. Our objective was to assess the strength of this association in the world population, updating a previous work.
METHODS: ...
Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Gene Therapy for Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy.
(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2017-10-26)
BACKGROUND:
In X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, mutations in ABCD1 lead to loss of function of the ALD protein. Cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy is characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration. Disease progression, ...
Treatment of Minimally Invasive Hallux Valgus Surgery Complications
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017-03-01)
Percutaneous foot surgery is a surgical method of treating various bone and soft-tissue disorders of the foot. In hallux valgus pathology, it is called minimal incision surgery, and is another method to treat this disorder. ...
Early ciliary and prominin-1 dysfunctions precede neurogenesis impairment in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes.
(Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., 2017-12-01)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is reaching epidemic conditions worldwide and increases the risk for cognition impairment and dementia. Here, we postulated that progenitors in adult neurogenic niches might be particularly vulnerable. ...
Chronic hepatitis C and chronic kidney disease: Advances, limitations and unchartered territories.
(Wiley, 2017-06-01)
Over the past few years, treatment options for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have evolved dramatically. The current approved interferon-free direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens have been shown to be safe and ...

OBJECTIVE:
Ethically and legally, assertions that resuscitation is in a patient's best interest should be inversely correlated with willingness to forego intensive care (and accept comfort care) at the surrogate's request. ...
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index Predicts Morbidity and Mortality in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)
The hematopoietic cell transplantation-specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score is a useful tool to assess the risk for nonrelapse mortality (NRM) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Although the ...
Hyponatremia and fractures: should hyponatremia be further studied as a potential biochemical risk factor to be included in FRAX algorithms?
(Springer, 2017-01-10)
The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) was developed by the WHO Collaborating Centre for metabolic bone diseases to evaluate fracture risk of patients. It is based on patient models that integrate the risk associated ...

La observación de un síntoma, signo o síndrome aún no descrito en una entidad, e indagando en los buscadores bibliográficos más conocidos, originan pensamientos de autocrítica, que con frecuencia determinan que esa experiencia ...
Uncovering the in vivo source of adult neural crest stem cells.
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-03-01)
Some late embryonic and adult postmigratory neural crest-derived cells (NCDCs) from diverse tissues were shown to grow as multipotent neurospheres. Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) contained in these spheres were found to ...
